Are our US citizens safer for all these pricey foreign entanglements? No.
But it's not just us....most European countries are safer. Japan is safer. Taiwan is safer. Australia, New Zealand, the list goes on. These are all countries that have defense treaties with the United States. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Oh man this 1000 times. The Oracle forums are probably the most hostile that I've ever encountered. You could get more help by posting your issue on 4chan.
Could be. I've seen both scale to thousands of users on equivalent hardware.
One edge Oracle has is RAC. MS SQL has AlwaysOn Clusters, but that doesn't offer the same type of N+1 solution as RAC (not to mention that you have to code around it for it to really be effective).
I work with all of the databases that you've mentioned, and I'd wager that MS SQL has closed the gap with Oracle in recent years, especially at a certain price points. I rather like MySQL for certain projects, but unfortunately Oracle owns that now too.
Ditto. It sounds like Larry is taking the same line as his Oracle sales staff, as in if the potential customer doesn't like what they have to offer, insult them and threaten them into buying it or renewing it. I've actually heard them tell people that their "career would go nowhere unless they purchased Oracle".
Wealthy people will be coached in how to avoid detection.
If this has the same problems as current polygraph equipment, you want have to pay a lot of money to get advice that consist of being told "to just relax":
I hate being a grammar nazi, but that article in the link looks like it was written by a third grader. There's enough misspellings to make an editor want to kill himself.

That's because on one hand you've got rules that makes it hard to get rid of underperformers
This is the real difference that people fail to see. I've worked in both private companies and public government offices, and both can have gross inefficiencies and lackluster employees. The difference is that it's much more difficult to get rid of a terrible employee at a government office, so more of them tend to stick around. Promotion also tends to lean towards seniority as opposed to merit.
The private industry also has situations like promotions based off of favoritism which lead to a terrible employee that sticks around, but at least the option of terminating this person is usually on the table and much easier to carry through with.
Cloud is where Oracle really dropped the ball. I'm a DBA that's worked with Oracle, MySQL and SQL Server (among others) in a production capacity. MySQL and SQL Server both offer superior cloud offerings, whether with Azure or AWS, and make migrating data to the cloud easy (I haven't worked with PostGresQL enough to offer an opinion on it). Oracle's cloud offerings just can't compete at the same level as those products, and Oracle knows it; this is why they maintain their traditional sales tactic of making threats, because it's all they know how to do.
I respect Oracle RDBMS as a platform, and there are certain things it does that the others can't really compete with (RAC being one of them)....but I think choosing it as a cloud database would be a bad decision (if cloud was something you wanted to do, I know it's not for everybody).

The Free Market has spoken. It doesn't like the finances of nuclear power
I'd hardly call the political and regulatory nightmare behind nuclear power "The Free Market".
Dave & Busters doesn't count ;-)

Now the real problem is - who is hosting these personal websites? Is it Tumblr, Wordpress?
Geocities.
You forgot bank bailouts. ("Socialism for the rich"). Which cost far more than all the other stuff put together.
This is patently false, and you know it.

Please don't feed this troll. They posted the same exact text on the article related to the Bloomberg/Super Micro hack:

This. I'd wager that it's better now than it was during the height of the Hussein regime.
That is Mark if you didn't know.
Did you post this on the correct thread? This has to do with Mark Cuban, not Zuckerberg.

I just don't care anymore. I've got appFatigue
If you think that's cool, just wait until you see the new features we're adding to appFatigue 2019, currently in CTP 1.4 !

Makes it hard to take seriously.
Your one of the most ignorant people on slashdot. /
You don't have any room to talk, Mr. Anonymous Coward. I've seen the vile, disgusting, hateful ignorance that you've posted on this site.

This was done previous with Armed_Services_Editions [wikipedia.org], meant to provide compact books for soldiers in WWII.
I wish I had mod points. My GrandFather used to tell me about reading these when he was in the service. It helped him get through the hard times.
And you specifically listed a Chromebook, which goes from 16 GB to 128 GB (just like Apple's). Hardly what I'd call a "thin client".
Apple sells thick-client product that are deeply threatened by thin-client cloud-based solutions
Right, because they don't sell any thin-client products that use cloud services:
https://www.apple.com/ipad/
https://www.apple.com/iphone/
https://icloud.com/
https://www.apple.com/ipod-tou...
And those thick-client products that you refer to? They account for less than 10% of Apple's revenue.

Yes I do.......I guess I should clarify that as "MySQL/MariaDB".
