Not sure Five Eyes will outlast Trump, the UK has reportedly stopped sharing some intelligence with the US: https://www.courthousenews.com/uk-faces-questions-on-complic...

Wow, I want something like that for my company's codebase.

That’s an interesting story to bring up in this context, because I have always wondered how a fundamentally customer-hostile business like Oracle could be so successful. It really …

I see a lot of concurrency papers from Oracle Labs but not DB papers FWIW.

I thought the HN guidelines forbid AI-generated comments?

The left has cultural power, the right has political power.

There is MongoDB Labs FWIW (also Oracle Labs but I think that's just rebranded Sun Labs and not sure how much DB research happens there).
