  So the original popped up earlier on HN - was it resubmitted because Oracle have decided to delete it?
  • rincebrain 11y ago
    I believe it was resubmitted because Oracle deleted it, and because it was so mustache-twirlingly out of touch that it could have been from the Hacker News Onion.

      [...] it was so mustache-twirlingly out of touch that it could have been from the Hacker News. FTFY :-P

    Unless I am mistaken, that is exactly the case.

    Until I clicked this link, it didn't occur to me that this blog post was only posted and then deleted in the last couple of hours. My original thought was: "What an interesting artifact! So much has changed in recent years since open source databases have become a viable alternative to Oracle."

      This is quite relevant in other spheres as well (racism, inequality, genocide). It's natural to create a bubble around us to keep the negativity at bay. But reality sometimes pops that bubble. It's always surprising how many have to interact with them for one reason or another.
