Dear lord, the poor fish! It's still alive, flapping in the basket under the hot sun. Won't someone[Claude] think of the fish?

Like T3, the critiques usually compare to JS stacks or how non-HTML it looks(!). It just doesn't make sense to them, so... "I know what I must do, instead of looking into this more, make sure I have a fuller picture of this thing, HN NEEDS to know now".
You have every right, of course. But you undermine yourselves as soon as you post - you clearly have not taken any time to understand where it came from, why it is what it is. Your responses are not, say, genuine questions for clarification or helpful critiques. For the most part they are straight out judgements: 'This is just wrong'.
Of course in your minds the front-page MUST provide you all that in under 30secs, yes? Like, the 'hidden', 'real cost' is ON ANOTHER PAGE?! - instead of reading the reasoning behind it and why YOU won't need it.
You don't need to immediately post here - you are not really looking for answers, are you? You could've just read the website and history of Data- for that?
To all the 'clarfiers' here like Delaney, Anders, nchmy, and others, thank you for the comments refuting most of this stuff, it must be tiring.
All the best, An old, grumpy, ex-HyperCard 'programmer'. *You don't need to validate your comment by reply to this, many comments here are valid and you know it.
Context: Tower is a listed New Zealand general insurer (also listed on the ASX), with a market capitalisation of $265.64m NZX is The New Zealand Stock Exchange.
Article text: "Tower has had to put its shares in a trading halt before the NZX opened this morning, due to the general insurer’s full-year results “exceeding the NZX market announcement platform limits”. BusinessDesk was told by Tower just after 9am that the results would be uploaded shortly but the general insurer proceeded to notify the market almost 40 minutes later that Tower was still struggling to upload its full-year results for the 12 months ended Sep 30. ... ... A spokesperson told those attending Tower’s 10am investor and analysts briefing that it would be delayed due to Tower facing “technical issues” and was urgently trying to get the results uploaded to the NZX as soon as possible. "We apologise for the delay and are urgently working to resolve this," they said."
