site:businessesforsale.com "going concern"
you get 16,400 hits. Just on that one site. I can understand that one person might not have come across it, but when it's so many folk on a site like HN where you'd expect people to have an interest in businesses...I truly find it a little bizarre.
I'm on the hacker side of this culture war and didn't understand the term.
Failing to perceive when your employer or business unit ceases to be a going concern will result in some very unpleasant surprises.
This article is relevant to hackers insofar as the scarcity of hard drives affects them. I don't think every article about a business closing belongs on HN just in case a hacker works there.
