It's rather amazing. They found one of the few organizations I trust less than the Chinese government to run this.


Ya, the only comparably worse choices would have been IBM or Salesforce. Also known as the toxic techs.


> They found one of the few organizations

Or, the Org found them! It helps to kiss the ring.


Compared to Larry Ellison, Kim Jong-un strikes me as a supreme humanist, a beacon of goodness and generosity.


Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn - you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think "oh, the lawnmower hates me" – lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about Oracle. — Bryan Cantrill


Probably a better neighbor too.


Indeed. And since you are so nice to Kim he can get a job as remote IT worker.


Oh my. Forgot that nowadays people need to be explicitly warned about sarcasm or irony as they tend to interpret everything literally



I don't think the average braindead tiktok user who watches choreographies all day long knows / cares / can even spell Oracle.

I know what you will tell me: "but these people vote"... Hum, yes.
