American MAGAs also don’t really want American greatness if it involves immigrants, minorities, or liberals having a good life there. Their love of America and goals for its greatness are VERY selective, all the way to founding values like freedom of speech, separation of powers, and separation of church and state.

It’s really just fascism. And fascism, for all its claims to be country-first, is an international reactionary effort.

On prem is cheaper by a wide margin for steady load, but cloud is good if you need burst processing.

Ellison’s wealth has surged after [Oracle], in which he owns a stake of 41%, reported better than expected financial results.

This is the most surprising information in this article. Oracle isn’t a company I’d expect a price surge at. They provide some commonly used software, but nothing that would have a sudden surge in value, and I’m someone who’s looked at cloud resources before, and they weren’t even in my list of places to check. A crowded market with limited potential for innovation just doesn’t seem like something that justifies a huge price surge.

Feels like the stock market isn’t a real place.
