@glyph The most interesting to me is that Oracle’s shifting to a “BYOC” model where their customers have to pay for the hardware build-out to get the capex off of Oracle’s books. How popular do you reckon that’s going to be?

IIRC, their business model was to have a piece of software that needed multiple expensive dba's on site at the client's, to bill hours, not to actually get anything done or finished.
