- smegger001 18d agoI always thought of him as if he was angling to be a bond vilian but thats kind of a potayto, potahto thing
- croon 18d agoWell, he owns 98% of Hawaii's sixth largest (volcano) island, which certainly fits the motif. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C4%81na%CA%BBi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C4%81na%CA%BBi
- glaslong 18d ago"Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn - you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think "oh, the lawnmower hates me" – lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about Oracle." — Bryan Cantrill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zRN7XLCRhc&t=2308s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zRN7XLCRhc&t=2308s
