THIS THIS THIS.
Oracle is a greedy leech on the world and tech in general. Tiktok has something they want to use to sue other companies. Oracle knows almost no other way to do business.
- AmericanChopper 6y agoThe parent comment is just a super low effort HN trope. Company everybody hates does something so you have to dream up some silly reason that it fits into the existing narrative about them. There is literally no reason to think this could possibly happen, apart from “Oracle is bad and they do bad IP lawsuits”. Tik Tok doesn’t have any novel IP that could support a theory like this, and Oracle isn’t even getting any IP in this deal.
- tonetheman 6y agoDoooood. Literally Oracle bought Sun to sue Google. It is not a troll comment. The company on the whole has used IP to attack other companies in the past. It is a well known fact there is no troll about that. And I would think the magic algorithm that comes along with Tiktok is IP. Maybe you know the list of patents Bytedances holds? If they do not have IP around that algorithm they are idiots. Anyway it will be interesting to watch.
- AmericanChopper 6y agoIt’s not a troll comment. It’s a circlejerk comment. If the only thing you know about Oracle is “oracle bad” and “oracle do IP lawsuits”, that doesn’t give you an insight into why they might be making any particular decision. It’s a super low effort comment, it doesn’t hold any relevance to this situation, and the only reason people upvote it is because we all know that “oracle bad” is just an indisputable fact.
