From what's listed in the news story, we don't know that, but the point of the article is not to single out Oracle, but to realize that financial accounting for cloud software prod…

Reduced transparency (if one does not realize what comes in year two or three) makes it really hard to make a fair comparison in year one.

That's very curious. So by adding cloud capabilities, you are effectively getting a discount.

The gray area is how one counts revenue as cloud or non-cloud. Some software can be used in both modes, and the question is how one categorizes them. For example, Microsoft Office …

You have a good point. It's a spectrum. There are software companies that thrive by using different models. Some are based on open source, some are based on closed source and some …

Bryan Cantrill is very passionate in the talk recorded in this video. Now I learned something about illumos.

It seems that Jet.com (Ana Amazon-like competitor, I haven't used them yet, so don't know the experience) has a $35 threshold for 2 to 5 day free-shipping.

Good point about market maturity. If people are holding on to phones longer, sell them more accessories that people replace periodically, and make the base unit more also high marg…

If the lengthening indicates that vague subject lines such as "Hello!" or "Changes" is being replaced by something more specific like "Meeting at 3 p.m. agenda changed", then it's …

Those are excellent points. Old small flip phones sometimes had a small place for a strap loop so you can fish it out of a bag by the strap, and of course also to hold on to it. Ph…

I didn't know about this book, and thank you. I think reading the style and opinion of key contributors to industry, science, nature preservation and other areas also helps me unde…

On Feb 20th, 2016, it was reported that Secretary of State Kerry warned the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan of non proliferation treaty consequences if the kingdom acquired su…

True. By the way, the Galaxy S7 is supposed to have a metal case but it still has wireless charging too so the engineering seems to be feasible. In my experience the distance betwe…

I agree. With automobiles, people seem to be more aware of the constraints and the balance of capabilities to make a vehicle that fits a segment. I.e. sports cars aren't always com…

I agree. I wish it had wireless charging like Qi, but metal cases apparently makes it more difficult to implement

Encryption and security has always been a balance between convenience and capability. Although HTPPS and such are mostly transparent to end-user, we can see that slow adoption of p…

Somewhat understandable for a firm in rough waters, but it does raise the issue of scope. What if you go out to lunch and drink and come back? Is that allowed, or is that something…

Good point, and it's so easy to remember how hard life was in the past, and it's so easy for people in the modern age to take things for granted.

It's a major point to make sure errors are properly emulated as well. Same issue was dealt with in VMware Workstation as well, which managed to behave accurately for devices such a…
