I thought new evidence came to light that FB used illegally obtained metrics about IG and Whatsapp that allowed them inside information about the accusations.

Something about the FB mobile app siphoning off mobile data about other app usage

Here's a doctor's tweet from today about a young male that got reinfected after 7 months. EcMO machine, full bipass and 3 heart restarts.

Not much scares me in this life. But just saw my first COVID reinfection this full moon Halloween & I am fucking shook.

20-something yo w/ massive PE, coded, TPA, ECMO in ED, hemorrhage, 3 code carts, methylene blue, PRBCs.

Praying for them and their family And for all of us. https://t.co/T0YqmVxLx8

I used to be a big Oracle fan in the late 1990s, but now can't see the point in paying big bucks for Oracle DB.

Are there any legitimate reasons to pick Oracle over Postgres for a new project? Apart from "support"

Personally, I think MySQL died when Oracle got involved with it. The momentum was sucked right out of the project.

The great think about Postgres is it has huge momentum and the team are delivering new features. Maybe Apache has less momentum because it's matured and doesn't need much momentum.

From a momentum point of view I see Postgres as the biggest FLOSS project. I see no point in choosing another RDBMS right now. Time to short ORA stock
