In my field, the way I’ve seen Oracle contracts rationalized is the same way IBM contracts are rationalized… they’re stupid expensive, usually under deliver, but they’re the biggest names. When the project goes south, the buyer can tell their superiors “well we hired IBM, and they’re the best, so what else could I have done?” It’s a form of of CYA.
I looked it up and you’re correct. I didn’t realize Uber started literally as “UberCab” and later dropped the “cab” and added the personal car ride sharing component. Thx for the tip!
Yep. Just like Uber it morphed, from people sharing a ride or their place while on vacation, into full time drivers and landlords. Not the philosophical intebt of the original service, and it ruined it for everyone.
That’s exactly what I mean. Employees in At Will states can legally be fired for anything short of violations of protected classes, so I’m not sure how he’s expecting to win here.

“The representative told Taiwan News that the purpose of the defacements was to protest against “Google’s harsh inactive account policy” and to warn Russian President Vladimir Putin against using tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine or jeopardizing the safety of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant”
Could someone explain why Google or Russia would care about UN websites? That’s like saying took a dump on the floor at my local McDonald’s to protest the apartheid in Gaza.
This is awesome, but now we need better battery tech that doesn’t rely on lithium and cobalt. Getting that up to this scale will be hard, though.
