      Prepare for 100 questions on how the internet works. The majority of these tech CEOs grilling are like the time you explained to your grandparent the CD ROM drive of their desktop tower at home they bought to play solitaire is in fact not a drink holder.

      This will go down more before it goes up again. It’s going to follow Netflix stock in 2012 when announce price hikes, and then the stock took a dive 77%. The difference between Netflix and crowdstrike is that crowdstrike had a gobal outage causing people damage. Netflix however try to raise prices but people pulled the plug before they can charge. Either way it was gobal damage to both companies. 📉📉📉📉📉📉📉📉📉📉📉

      Just wait for the lawsuits from every business impacted, plus the inevitable class actions.

      I’m sure the 3 people in congress with some understanding of the subject will have words.

      Is he really obligated to testify to congress?? Seems odd and way too recent as the outage only happened less than a week ago…suuuuuuuper fishy

      Funny thing is that these people in congress grilling him won’t have a hot clue what goes on in internet security. They give him a tongue lashing and speak platitudes, then absolutely nothing will happen. 🤡 show

      Literally everyone in congress… NO Degree in computer science… trying to argue a software update with software engineers and attempt to understand the problem.

      “Mr. Kartz why people couldn’t open their windows last Friday? Does the internet require fresh air to function?”

      “Mr. Kurzen, who is this crowd that your company wish to strike?”

      “Mr. Kar, this happened because of tiktok? Are you chinese Mr. George?”

      Yeah, I don’t think the hearing will have any real impact because the questions will not be able to trigger any pertinent responses that can move the price further down or up for that matter.

    10. The company has no business to be in this sensitive business if they can’t even test their products properly. The negative effects they are having on all the common folks all over is reprehensible

    11. from thinking that guam’s going to tip over and capsize to claiming to invent the internet, which also is a system of tubes (and heat seeking bullets, shoulder thing that goes up, etc and etc)… our govt is clearly well regarded, so i’m not sure this will deliver the kind of fireworks you think.
