Remember the Stanford Prison Experiment; "bad company corrupts good people."

A software company who does not change the world, and/or change with the world, will die. The world is not dependent on Oracle DB though. Enterprises are chomping at the bits trying to get of Oracle DB. Evolution is brutal.

Oracle was late to Cloud and now late to AI. Maybe it's time Larry let someone else take the helm.

It doesn't sound like it. The articles references competition from low-cost providers, for which I'm assuming, VZN cannot match. As well, converting corporate stores into private franchises would have nothing to do with AGI.

In Canada, it would fall into a number of federal laws (Criminal Code)

Unauthorized use - 342(1) Mischief in Relation to Data - 430(1.1) Interception private communications - 184(1) Deceit/fraud - 380(1)

Agreed. It reads like Seven of Nine realizing she's separated from the Collective and needs to rely lowly human capabilities. The insights into vendors was informative.

In Canada, Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) was updated in 2015 to require user consent not unlike GDPR()

Perception. Interpretation. Either way, "sprint" is intended to imply short burst, definite endpoint that can be seen. A Burndown is about measured capacity. The only actual speed that matters is time to failure, i.e. "fail fast".

Crazy enough, I'm from the management school that believes the work is only the tool to develop the person and pay the bills. I will always sacrifice the work for the worker. It's sad that the majority of managers see this in reverse.

As a Dev Manager, please don't "fix it then-and-there." I've found that developers are great at fixing problems but terrible to prioritizing work. After all, its not their responsible to set priorities. The 'fix it then-and-there' on even a small issue has the potential to completely derail a project. Tech debt though, has to be treated with similar reverence to feature development.

$1.2T to OPERATE the F-35 program, yikes! I would love to see the TCO figures on an F-35 (or not). US Military budget concepts have always blown my mind.

It's a matter of trust. My teams are mostly self-organizing where they have almost complete autonomy over their work product in true Agile sense. The times that I have to step in to introduce changes, I pitch the benefits and intended outcomes. I'm also quite transparent with my teams. If something must be done for security/compliance-sake, I also share with them my disdain for it but also how the particular change increases our sustainability. They may not like the change but if they see the benefits and outcome, you should be ok.

This is nothing more than Big Gov trying to save the dinosaurs. The Canadian media giants have not evolved at the pace of technology. They have no innovated since print and radio. Of course their revenue streams are drying up. And of course Big Gov is tired of subsidizing a failing enterprise. Though, it would be interesting if Mr. Trudeau countered with blocking a Meta traffic in Canada.

Agile environments are much better at this. Its inherent frequent touchpoints and "fail fast" mindset can help to ensure the juniors are getting as much information and direction as required.

This isn't new. Automakers following software companies' subscription model

Large enterprises using MS Office suite eventually rolled into O365. Sharepoint, same. MS cloud offerings were simply evolutionary. Enterprises simply had to shift from capex to opex. This is why they stayed.

The 'they do it too' is fallacious. Does TikTok pose a threat? If the answer is yes, then request to remove it from app stores is justified.

I'm surprised by the operations cost for MF. In my org, we see significantly higher ops cost for MF over x86 simply because MF expertise is harder to find. Local colleges aren't seeing tons of high school students lining up to take MF courses/certs. The MF experts are at retirement age.

THE BASIC LAWS OF HUMAN STUPIDITY say something completely different.

Oracle has made substantial push into the hyperscale cloud space in the last 2 years. Even though they lag quite a bit behind AWS/Azure/GCP, they are far from irrelevant. (Revenue grew approximately 26% year over year in 2019) While Oracle DB is still dominant (At the end of 2019, Oracle was the leader in DBMS revenue ($15.15 billion) and market share (27.5%)) in large enterprises, Oracle will retain a place in the industry. (430,000 customers in 175 countries and revenue of $39 billion for fiscal year 2020)

Though I can accept that news industry may have had a role to play in the influencing the thoughts and opinions of inexperienced medical professionals, I cannot accept that they are 'complicit' in the opioid crisis.

Its hard to accept that the medical practice in the Americas is comprised of mostly "young doctors and students." In 2018, ~69% [1] of physicians in America were over 46 years old. I am more inclined to believe that bad actors, lobbying and general incompetence is to be blamed.

This topic reminded me of "The $100 billion per year back pain industry is mostly a hoax"[2] piece which highlighted drug companies who spent millions on marketing, borrowing a page from Big-Tobacco, doctors who over-prescribed and frustrated patients who too matters into their own hands.

For the same reason why when race is presented as a contributing factor, people say "give it a rest." 'Those who choose to ignore the past are doomed to repeat it.' Society must accept that race relations has played and does play a role in how we tackle issue.

"And it worked" is somewhat of a misnomer. If you asked the hundreds of businesses (bars, cafes, restaurants, etc), they might have a different opinion. Motor vehicles are allowed to travel 1 block then forced to make the next right turn. The human traffic along the corridor has significantly decreased. The businesses are suffering. At minimum, ride-sharing services should be allowed to traverse that corridor unimpeded.

It simply moved the traffic to the parallel streets thus worsening congesting in the city overall. The overall utilization of an expensive infrastructure is very low. The "440%" increase in cyclist is unlikely to equal the number of people moved through that corridor via motor vehicles.

Beyond usage of legal Cannabis in Canada, US Border agents can deny entry to those who work or invest in the Cannabis market.

The root word is 'terror'. If terror (mass fear, intimidation, panic) was the intent, I would agree.

I would quit, without second thought. I have always been of the opinion that you need to hire the right people and fire and bad ones. Workplace surveillance is a trying to fill a gap for BAD managers/mgmt. This crosses so many lines.

Are you saying he shouldn't have consulted Siri, have GPS enabled or that he shouldn't have committed murder? Trying to understand the 'common sense' part.

I was a manager at IBM at the beginning of off-shoring. I too left because I disagreed with the model, in principle. However, the statistics did show that the company could save ~60% for the same quality of service, immediately. What was unclear and highly debated at that time was how sustainable that saving was and how developing economies would impact on those decisions.
