The more I hear about Oracle the less respect I have for them. My company is already working hard at dropping all things Oracle. I really can't wait for the day when we can wash our hands of them completely. Its not that far off really

No that's just hyperbole without any basis in reality. Those poor and underprivileged can already find aid when/where needed. Poor people in the USA aren't even poor by world wide standards. You do not have the right to rob P

Worse, they say this while giving them selves multi-million dollar salaries and stock bonuses worth billions. It's outrageous. We're told we're replacable, that theirs third worlders that can do what we do for less but someho

> The article indicates a 15-year trend of rising wages, yet we don't see American farmhands flocking to CA, so it seems like a fair headline to me. That's because you're biased. Its a small trend over a long period of tim

You're linking to articles half a decade old. Have any new data, you since the economy picked up?

Why is the first instinct of every Democrat/Liberal to have Government subsidize everything? If the wages and cost of living were there people would come. Solve the problem, don't subsidize it and create more problems. Absolutely

> Yes, but if they wanted the jobs, they'd come to CA for them. CA is facing a mass exodus right now. Why on Earth would anyone willingly move there with costs being what they are? I left 10 years ago and will never go back. I can e

Not sure how you come to that conclusion when the middle class is almost gone in this country.

If you don't think intelligence agency's should be doing this then what exactly do you think they should be doing? I'm always interested in what people think the intel agencies do or should be doing. Personally I agree with y

He is against them being government backed monopolies. According to him, and I agree, we should be able to switch ISP's at will. If we do not want an ISP selling our data we should have the freedom to move to one that doesn't.

McCarthy didn't spy on anyone. He was a Senator not an intel agent. Additionally, McCarthy has been proven right. His estimate was that there were around 20 Soviet agents that had infiltrated the US government at the highest levels. On

"You want them to remove one of the most useful feature of Firefox?" Completely subjective. Also pointless as it could easily just be an addon. It's just bloat however and my own subjective POV is it's useless. I've

"It is unquestionably a better encrypted messaging system than PGP." You're going to have to back that up. In no way is Signal more secure or private than PGP. Signal is simply easier to use for a very small use case, text me

You've intentionally reduced PGP to your narrow use case. PGP/GPG will also sign and not just encrypt. If you're going to debate the subject do so honestly.

Signal is for text messaging and fails as an email replacement. It also does not work for signing code and it requires you give over your contacts list to a third party to work. Signal is not fit for PGP's use case.
