If you make such strong statements, I would expect that you back it up. For now, it reads as a shallow dismissal, and the guidelines talk about that: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Simple comparison. The ones I've been in, including the bad ones, actually had more than adequate fire suppression systems, proper electrical cut outs, fire monitoring systems and certificates proving that they had been audited and tested.

This OVH DC was designed to a cost rather than a safety specification and the risk did not pay off.
