Comment Downfall of Oracle (Score 2) 39

I would find it rather amusing if the final nail in the Oracle coffin was AI rather than their predatory licensing. That said their isn't a single bubble, many companies are getting a practical benefit out of AI, some (like Oracle) are ploughing massive amounts of debt into AI in the hope of finding a benefit.

GPS uses coordinated UTC not NIST, NIST contributes to that so at worst their is a chance of some fraction of that error propagating in. Also as you mention the source is just to set them to be in sync with each other, so unless they were being synced with different sources at different times it should not be an issue.

If it goes under then of course the consumer is worse off, The streaming service still dies, You sitll don't have an independent party and content creation will be heavily impacted while people pick over the bones. If anything them going under would be the worst case for consumers, but probably the best case for competitors (short of buying them)

yes it is definitely a positive. But you will always get fucktards looking to sue or potentially they are just tools of Paramount looking to block. The reality is it is a fucking mess at the moment with too many streaming providers and all of them lacking content because of it. Warner Bros discovery is in the financial shitter so blocking this successfully would only mean even worse content or someone else merging there content (i.e. paramount).

except of course the identity verification is not shared with the government, hell you don't even need to use government ID. Not sure if what they are doing will work or whether it will be abused, BUT as it stands it does not let them tie your real ID to online presence.
