Well, my library does not have any "partner libraries", and in fact, I pay for a library card to a library in a neighboring city, because my city doesn't have its own library. But I've lived places that had inter-library

It only makes the line go up in the short term. In the long term companies will avoid Oracle, and sales will go down. But shareholders don't care about the longterm.

The only logical reason I can think of to fight to keep the trademark is that they specifically don't want any goodwill, and that want to maintain their reputation as ruthless litigators.

In my experience, fixing code generated by AI is often more work than writing it myself the right way. And even uf you understand the code, that doesn't mean it is maintainable code.

Cool But is there enough demand for this to make it economical? I would guess the cost of material would be a very small percentage of the cost pf operations that use hydroxyapatite.

Here is one example of waste: FedRAMP certified software often costs 2-10x equivalent non-certified software. That means the government is paying a lot more than anyone else for the same thing. Why? Well part of it is because getting and ke
