It was Attachmate, which swallowed Novell and spun of for instance SuSE Linux before being itself acquired by Micro Focus. SuSE S.A. is now a separate company in Luxembourg, and maybe, they are holding the original UNIX licenses, as it would fit into their portfolio.

But even calling it "evidence" sets up the bias. Destroying data for possible crime is a way to put it, but then that seems like minority report.

Destroying something law enforcement believes is evidence in that moment is literally Obstruction of Justice, and destroying evidence is literally a crime specifically for that reason. There really isn't much grey area here.

You're free to do whatever you want to your own data (subject to previous judicial order), but the moment a legitimate authority -- whether state or local law enforcement or a Federal agency like Customs and Border Control -- indicates that your data/property is subject to search or review, destroying such data is literal obstruction and will get you as much of a charge as if you flushed evidence away while a cop was asking for it.

If the LEO or agency is overstepping their bounds, once you've been put on notice that you're the subject of an investigation the proper remedy is judicial review and a lawsuit. You don't get to #resist, and you certainly don't get to blow up your phone just because someone taught you this One Weird Trick.

Have fun in jail, bro.

Comment IPO price probably set too low (Score 2) 24

I don't know how IPOs work in China but if this happened in the US, it would indicate the IPO price was set way too low.

The idea "IPO spike" is about 0 or maybe a little bit above 0.

If it drops on the first day that's obviously bad.

If it's goes up it means the company left money on the table. Sometimes its good to leave a little money on the table to give the IPO underwriters an others a reason to stay excited about your company.
