I believe that when you license Weblogic from Oracle, the Weblogic license includes a license for the Oracle JVM it runs on. So there is no reason to run Weblogic on another JDK/JVM. I assume that Oracle requires their JDK/JVM for Weblogic to keep support simpler.
It is not shown, but I expect that Oracle EE is probably the most significant contributor to software licensing costs. If Oracle licensing was computed for 288 cores, that is totally unrealistic. Oracle EE would only run on a subset of cores.
An alternative implementation of BigQuery? If the integration libraries are that bad, perhaps the market would go for a BigQuery alternative with better integration support.
I expect that the integration libraries probably work pretty well for most users, and implementing a database like BigQuery would be a massive amount of work. So this pretty much explains why Google isn't sprinting to fix this issue.
> You don't pay investments back. They are a purchase of shares. The exchange is made and you're done.
This is a common misunderstanding that equity funding is free. For the owner of a business, taking outside investment and issuing share in return is diluting the original owners stake in the business. If effect, you are paying for these investments forever because you are giving up some portion of the businesses future profits.
There are certainly situations where this makes sense if you are able to grow much faster with the additional capital. However, the investment is not free.
If Google is going to allow US employees to work from anywhere in the US, they should not be adjusting wages based on an employee's residence. Where an employee chooses to live becomes no different from what car they choose to buy. Google should pay a consistent wage scale based on a median cost of living across the US. This would probably be an unpleasant adjustment for many Googlers in high cost locales.
The US is absolutely shooting for herd immunity now. Its just a question of how individual members of the herd want to achieve their immunity. They can take the easy way (vaccination) or the hard way (get Covid).
There has been alot of innovation in digital payments in India over the last 10 years. There are a number of local alternatives to traditional card brands. This might be a combination of protectionism to support local payment alternatives, and international card network unwillingness to invest in India given declining market share.
How about adjusting the tax rate that is paid on income based on wealth? This would absolutely complicate the tax code for wealthy individuals, but it would certainly increase the tax paid by the wealthy on the income that they do have.
Wow, that is pretty basic economic fallacy. Whether you hold coins today or not should not impact an investment decision. If the BTC you bought 10 years ago for $100 is worth $100,000 today, and a couple of weeks from now the price collapses and is worth $100 again, you have still lost $100,000. Just the same as if you paid $100,000 for your BTC today. Only difference would be tax liability.
That first sequence diagram in the article reminds me of similar diagrams that I have seen for microservice based systems recently. Progress? Not so sure.
I think that you have the option with Quarkus to use the traditional JVM with byte code for development, and only generate exe's for stage or production deployment. Best of both worlds.
Yes, the OP has this backwards. The Java sandbox would allow an application to limit the access granted to a library to protect from a malicious library. It does not protect a library from being used by an application in way that was not intended by the library creator. It is certainly not a means of enforcing a licensing scheme.
