100k was a gift with no strings attached and 15M is an investment with planned profits, control etc. By the way, today's docker user base and importance isn't that small comparing to OpenBSD. At the moment there's 377 people

I had only troubles with network solutions. I curse the day I decided to use them. I don't understand how they still got reputation of a solid registrar.

For $10 billion? And they would have to kill their own cloud storage solution. Plus, Google and MS compete with AWS which hosts all data for Dropbox. And I don't think they are so valuable, MS bought Skype for $8.5 billion and Skype ha

IMHO, if he wanted to work on new phones for large corporation he'd probably stay at Apple and not created his own company (getting full financial independence along the way). Of course 4 years have passed, maybe he's ready for so

Maybe the idea of shareholders and companies will vanish completely. I'm talking about the time when(if) working will not be required from the human being. When automation will be so widespread, that even occasional work from those who

I completely agree with you. In jail, if you're not a mafia boss, your prime target is to get out safely asap. That may be advice to live by while you're in prison with "violent morons" because they made that rule. That&

You know, nine women can't make a baby in one month. That surplus they have is very hard to spend effectively. And amazon is growing much faster than Oracle, that's why they can spend their surplus on that growth.

As another commenter already mentioned, what's there to include on Oracle's side for cloud offering. I obviously talk about two large corporations, both with more than 100k employees and tens of billions revenue. Pretty comparable

I don't think Oracle dwarfs Amazon at all. They are comparable in size an Amazon is growing fast. And Amazon have 5+ years of experience in the field, they have special hardware, they know how to do it cheap and well. You can't ge

Thanks for interesting blog posts. Answers to those questions help to understand what's good or bad about that system. Or any educational system. It's interesting, do they develop into curiosity, or they had it from the beginning.

Please, can you give more insight about the school, instead of this short info "No curriculum - 80% went to college". What happens to 20%, are they completely uneducated because they didn't want to learn? Do they past some of

It doesn't even do that, pardon is more like forgiveness: "We forgive you for what you've done". And I don't think that's the same as admitting that law was bad.

Yes, but it's side project so it doesn't get such attention\confidence as postgresql. But I hope the project won't get abandoned and will evolve into something very powerful.

I mean by all ways. Abolishing or shortening patents maybe part of it sure. There's a lot of people/scientists who want to work and help people. We just need more effective ways to let them do so.

Yes, but that's still sky high price for most of the world. And if they put price order of magnitude less, won't it bring around order of magnitude more people who can afford it and they money outcome will be pretty much the same?

You can try Palemoon x64. I also had problems with crashing over memory limit. Was on Palemoon for 2 months and it works OK. I don't use many addons though.

It also brings the possibility to overcome ~4GB memory limit per x32 process. Which is nice.
