He's impressed at the caliber of Oracle's sales team since they can actually sell Oracle products. Frankly, I agree and would like to know what kind of jedi mind tricks those guys use on their customers.

I'm an Oz fanboy and this is as close to objectively wrong as any subjective value judgment can get. Even the best of Oz is barely as good as the worst of the Wire - and Oz just got progressively worse as the seasons went on.

This is an interesting blend of rigid paranoia and moralistic finger wagging.

If he were truly sorry he would retreat to a mountain lair to live out the rest of his days as a monastic hermit. Clearly the fact that he still has a keyboard to type on proves his insincerity. /s

100%. I suspect the original statement is actually laden with a fair amount of bias : Palantir unequivocally does have an ML strategy given that they're selling data analysis in 2017. It's literally unthinkable that they don'

Yeah, frankly I agree. There are reasons to criticize Palantir, but including Java in their stack isn't one of them.

I don't follow your reasoning. Please explain how either WWI, WWII or the cold war were caused by limitations on free speech in Europe (which in this context largely means western Europe).

by nulldev 9y ago
Germany wields a ton of power within the EU, so it's reasonable to assume that if FB decides this is worth a fight they have to take into account that the fight could end up expanding beyond just Germany. Even so, it's debatable h
