I think Google being able to buy Oracle is a bit of a stretch at this point. Oracle is 1/4 the market cap of Google. So, it seems unlikely they would have the capital available.

I think the author's retort would be that PHP is one of these "outdated" languages like Python and Ruby. I tend to disagree, but overall enjoyed their opinion anyway. I came to cri…

Are you talking about https://www.torproject.org ? We have different standards for websites it seems. That looks like it jumped out of the mid 90s to me.

This is reminding me of the Big Short. Hopefully it's a false alarm. Anecdotal hypothesis: I found it very easy to be approved for a house I could hardly afford, so if there is ano…

Where does upstart stand in this? That's what I've used so far.
