I agree. he can be prosecuted for not reporting his spending probably, but as long as he didn't ship boatloads of fake ballots it doesn't warrant cancelling the election. the authorities should put a stop to the interference, and if the interference to influence was his advantage, the 2nd round, without interference, would have him lose. Just let the people vote.
I still believe that the main "problem" was that the front runner party that has been in the 2nd round for 10s of years and which has the prime minister as the candidate, didn't make it to the 2nd round. Someone wanted this fixed. Obviously the prime minister who was 3rd in the 1st round made declarations in support of the ruling.
Why are you even commenting here if you don't believe that people should ever share their opinions on anything?
But yeah not a great look for Romania and its political system either way if they have to invalidate the elections and throw away the votes of a significant proportion of the population to stop them from electing a pro-russian/fascist candidate...
Say he violates voting laws and becomes president as a result. Do you get a situation like in the USA where the police just say “well, you won so all crimes are effectively expunged,” or do you have the even more insane situation of the president being prosecuted for violating electoral laws during his campaign?
Turns out China (or here, Russia) infiltrated the country, waged an enormous disinformation campaign and succeeded by getting their chosen candidate elected? "Tough luck, it's too late now, should just stand by and watch the country get taken over".
I shipped something users (internal) loved and the users were pushing adoption across the company. My leaders didn't consider it shipped. They never talked to the users. Didn't care. It needed perfect alignment with the org and needed to help the org's plans. Not the company or users across the company.
I'm not sure this demonstrates the issue without more context. If the people meant to use it were happy, what problem did the "leaders" have with it? Was it a huge moneysink whereas it was supposed to be an extra income source or like what kind of issue even
Nikki and I actually met at Meta and we really enjoyed using Workplace. When we tried using it with just us two, it fell short and wasn’t built for small product teams (ie. newsfeed ranking, integrations with tools in our workflow).
That’s very interesting since right away after looking at the demo I thought about how it reminded me of workplace in mechanics. I’m wondering what exactly you see as a value proposition of Patchwork over Workplace since for teams under a certain small size both are probably overkill but otherwise i see they solve a similar problem in a similar way :))
We both still think Workplace was a magical product. Unfortunately, because it was a direct fork of Facebook's codebase, it was never really built from the beginning with work in mind and is very much built for very large companies. Patchwork was built from the beginning with product teams in mind, so you'll see everything from our integrations to builtin workflows are much more geared towards that.
I could have guessed this. I've advocated for workplace but Meta is too untrendy nowadays and people are too biased to accept that the feed, in a workplace scenario, is actually extraordinary. kudos to you 2!! rooting for y'all
I was at a company that used it and it was pretty fine. Especially since it has the same patterns as regular facebook it was fairly easy to use for a lot of newcomers.
I think it might have been dropped for being too expensive, the per seat cost was significant.
I also have a workplace account in one nonprofit society and it’s also pretty cool to be used there.
