The difference being.NET is useful for quickly prototyping things and for making super powerful stuff with minimal effort, while Java doesn't even have a supporting library with 5% the capacity of the.NET core. But hey, if you knew any of that you wouldn't be a Java supporter.
When I binge watch a show I actually get into it, when I have to wait a week between shows I barely follow the story and actually tend to forget about it between episodes. Every show has its good and bad episodes, but when you hit a bad one or 2-3 bad ones watching 1 per week you just say "this show turned to garbage" and stop watching, whereas if you're binge watching you just go through it because you know with several dozen others it's bound to get good again.
Oracle views the cloud as "pay us to run our software products for you on our servers"
I think you give them too much credit to assume they view it as anything. Every single group I've ever come across using Oracle software was an NPO or a government agency who knew some really shady contractors. They get in the door to large corporations through handshake deals then corrupt every non-Oracle thing they touch into being incompatible with everything else, they're basically Microsoft for hipsters.
They can't cause they are too shit for that. Java >.NET in every conceivable way. If you don't understand that then go home.
The most critical rule to any hiring process: of the applicant likes Java not only reject them, but spread the word. People with Java "experience" are all hacks, formally educated wannabe software developers without an ounce of actual experience - save sometimes for Oracle's database system, if you can even call it that.
Please don't take systemd or pulseaudio as paragons of rejecting the unix philosophy. They are sloppy imitations of monolithic architecture, which is absolutely perfect and beautiful when done correctly. The issue comes from the fact nobody agrees 100% on the definition of "correctly" which necessarily corrupts any collaborative effort and makes the project too large for a single developer given a Human lifespan.
If Facebook was literally crawling up your ass I think that's about as fucked as they can make you, though it probably would have been wise to check off a list of devices you would approve of and possibly classes of devices you definitely would not under any condition.
How would that be in their self interest? If they say "I can't cut it" all their clients leave (be they government or larger businesses.) If they say "the labor pool is shit" then the politicians find a way to get more cheap labor.
You don't see companies raising wages to attract the employees need because for the most part (i.e. not the multinationals hiring h1b's, but the majority of companies who employ the majority of people and are small-mid size) they can't.
We live in a debt-based economic system with inflation at a rate of about 2.5% annually, runaway government spending and about 65-75% taxation by the time cash makes its way from a client to an employee. Meanwhile, the government will spend what it expects things to be valued at, ironically increasing with inflation,
not solely but functionally equivalent given the magnitudes of figures involved in each case, to the huge multinational corporations, who then buy from smaller corporations in many cases. It's trickle-down-corporate-economics and it works no better than the individual version: the government pays the banks and megacorps, they pay the large-not-multinational companies, they pay the midsized companies and the small companies are mostly paid by the individual consumers.
At each step along the way there's a time delay for prices to adjust where the guy at the top (from the government down) charges more for services, until the next guy down can no longer handle the burden and raises costs on their customers, and so on. The entire system runs in that cyclical nature wherein division of resources moves continually toward government. People blame the megacorps but the truth is they're only the highest ranking slaves.
Age discrimination is rampant because new entries mostly get in the door by lowballing the competition thinking "once I'm in the door I'll work toward a raise." On a similar note once someone is 5-15 years into the field they start thinking "I need to push for a raise" and suddenly the net effect is tech is very low paid.
Look at it this way: programming involves taking in business logic at the level of a business manager and codifying that to strict logic a computer can handle, it is not only the complete knowledge of the operations of an aspect of a business, but also the knowledge of how to automate that. When a programmer is able to put 50 people out of work by streamlining the production or inventory process do you really think they're worth 90k? Sure, if every single person they automated got paid no more than 1.8k.
TL;DR: programmers are horribly underpaid and the purpose of articles like this is to keep the influx of new recruits coming in order to replace the guys who have wised up to the ways of the world and want their fair share.
It's just that Hollywood likes to give people idealistic images to offset the inherent fear of knowing virtually every technology Humanity has developed has been used to exert greater control over people, and that's all which really gets funded. Sci-fi a hundred years ago envisioned an idealistic future where people are traveling the stars and have free energy, now in spite of the technology to achieve it (at least the energy part, an exactly as envisioned via small scale nuclear reactors in every home) the electric bills we get are greater than most people made in a year back then.
Musk dreams of neural lace and markets it as a miracle which will allow paraplegics to walk and people to control machines with a thought, but you'd be a fool to believe that it will be used for more than controlling the masses, sure it might start with the way the marketing is spun, but it will surely evolve to being a logistically mandatory upgrade to interact with modern society, then once a critical number of people have it the focus will shift toward controlling wrongthink, then it will become mandatory and chances are they'll lock down all the neat gadget control features for anyone but those who can afford to pay extra. Similarly augmented reality will likely tie into neural lace as a form of control and/or rewriting of events as they happen.
The internet did wonders to connect people, but now that they're connected there's a focus on controlling what is said on it while collecting data on everyone which would have made the most oppressive dictatorships in history envious.
We might be able to make our wildest dreams come true with technology, but frankly it won't happen because the people who determine what to focus it on and what to take to market are selected on a sociological level to be sociopaths and psychopaths, good people finish last, or at least with a low enough level of influence as to be inconsequential.
These days being an engineer and releasing anything is practically signing your soul over to the devil because unless you're an utter incompetent you can see how it will be abused and at absolute best can delude yourself into thinking some good might come of it.
There are two massive issues with geothermal in the context of Yellowstone:
Geothermal involves dropping water down a hole and letting it blow out as steam - this means lots of earthquakes which might set it off.
Cooling it enough to longer be a hotspot would involve cooling a substantial depth, and volume decreases much more quickly than radius on a sphere, meaning a substantial loss of thermal mass if it works, and the magnetic field holding in the atmosphere is dependent upon that thermal mass keeping the core molten (i.e. any substantial impact to the cooling of yellowstone would also substantially impact the time we have left before the atmosphere blows away.)
But if the NSA can positively identify them it is probable that no one is truly anonymous unless you simply don't ever post email, forum posts, or anything else online.
Just learn different writing styles for your trolling.

decides to include the new open-source Java as a part of it's .NET platform just to piss in Oracle's face.

Just when I think Facebook can't be more creepy and intrusive they manage to surprise me.
Just wait until they introduce implantable RFID chips in some manner palatable to the common idiot.
Very few professions outside of tech require doing a job in addition to knowing the job of everyone else. CEO is the only comparable profession.

I'd seriously doubt it were more complex than a PIC microcontroller.
"Do no good." would be a fit too.

NASA's proposed solution may very well trigger the damned thing.
Relax, they're not the ESA.
More important than a lowly AC by any measure.
As a taxpayer, there be something pretty fuckin important they need to ask Satoshi personally to justify this waste of my tax money.
The taxman doesn't report to you, you are his bitch not the other way around.

Well I didn't mention that I'm in Canada.. Apparently I can't get HBO Go.
Sorry, didn't realize non-Americans thought they were people.
