Nice, steady, extremely lucrative database business you got here. Be a shame if it got needlessly shredded due to mania and insatiable greed
@davidgerard who could’ve ever foreseen a company long considered skeevy and extortionate (since before I was a wee little sysadmin last century) would ever find out after decades of fucking around. Truly a surprise.
@davidgerard look, AI is doing everything now, why would they need employees!
Database servers 500$
Salaries 1000$
Unpaid datacenters 1.000.000.000$
Family endeavors 80000$
someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this.
My name is Larry Ellison and my family is dying

Oracle is one of those companies that got seed funding from the CIA if I remember correctly.
It’s a perfect target as a “deep state” creation. It would be a shame if the right wing conspiracy mill got a hold of that.
