- jrott 6y agoyeah this one makes no sense at all. Enterprise sales and massive legal departments to appeal to the kids.
- michaelt 6y agoJust think of all the strengths Oracle brings to the table: * They're not currently under scrutiny for antitrust after having brought too many competing social networks. * Absolutely no need to clean house if they find TikTok's success relies on a bunch of shady stuff, Oracle is cool with whatever makes money. * Um.... * That's it.
- djohnston 6y agothis made me lol, well done
- wuliwong 6y agoAs an ex-Oracle engineer, I can attest to the accuracy of this statement.
- csours 6y agoOops, it looks like you weren't licensed to disparage Oracle. We can settle this now for $100,000. Sorry for your confusion on our incredibly clear terms and conditions which change so rarely and are easy to find. (SARCASM)
- aliswe 6y agoWell put!
- simonebrunozzi 6y agoI am missing a reference here. Can you expand?
- arcturus17 6y agoOracle sells enterprise software, and it has a pretty bad reputation in some engineering circles due to their aging technology and bad business practices. They don’t have any significant business lines in social or consumer tech AFAIK. In this sense, they seem like they would have no clue about the needs and wants of teenagers, therefore making an odd match for TikTok
- Nexxxeh 6y agoEven one of their few products useful to sole traders and very small SMBs, VirtualBox, is impossible to purchase in individual license (in the UK at least). They're almost openly hostile to anything smaller than Enterprise.
- popotamonga 6y agoI host my stuff on Oracle cloud.Free 10TB monthly traffic and price per GB 1/10 of other clouds. S3 compatible API
- ygjb 6y agoDo you host it there because it's free, or because you are paying for it, and it provides the best value for your business?
- popotamonga 6y agoBecause its free but if i needed to go above quota i would pay because competition is 10x more expensive.
- defen 6y agoImagine if a company like Eastman Kodak were selected to rebuild the national stockpile of medical supplies that were depleted by COVID. It's kinda like that.
- hoistbypetard 6y agoYour comment made me chuckle as I pictured Larry Ellison with his MAGA hat turned backwards, a "Music Band" shirt, and a skateboard slung over his shoulder saying "How do you do, fellow kids?" on a TikTok video.

- quickthrowman 6y agoYou’ve made the common mistake of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison, there’s no need for that here, this is a safe space :)
- jjeaff 6y agoOh, of course Larry is a human. And a young one at that. Just look at how tight his face is. That's how you know how young a human person is... the tightness of their face skin. Just like the tight faces of other youthful humans.
- almost_usual 6y agoEllison must know something otherwise he probably wouldn’t be a Tesla board member.
