Amazon is doing some rather creepy stuff with the CIA [0]. Can you elaborate on what Oracle did that was so bad? Is charging for software and enforcing license terms somehow worse than what Amazon, Microsoft, Google, etc. are doing? [0] htt

Jerome Powell last week: “But I do think it’s more likely that what happens in the next year or so is going to amount to prices moving up but not staying up and certainly not staying up to the point where they would move inflation expectati

Glancing at your comment history, I can see that you believe your opinions are edicts and nobody can express differing opinions without you pulling your quasi moralistic hall monitoring trope. The fact is, tech is now under the influence of
