>it's an ugly process that produces great and greatly uneven value to humanity

That'd be far more believable if it weren't for the fact a vast majority of the research is publicly funded for those drug companies. They have no issues selling their drugs for less money in other markets while still turning a profit. And there's absolutely no indication they'd cease to exist with just outrageous profits, not "crippling entire economies" level profits.

It was absolutely a secure environment prior to DOGE laying waste to all the layers of security in place. Presumably those safeguards are now back in place post-DOGE razing.

>or they will keep it cloud agnostic?

They grossly overpaid if they aren't keeping it cloud agnostic. It's impressive software, but if it's only compatible with GCP it will not survive in this space.

>I was honestly surprised enough by this headline to click TFA, simply because I did not think Solaris even existed anymore.

Oracle would never give up the opportunity to continue milking customers until they're comletely dry.

They did kill all future releases and blew up the SPARC roadmap. They also fired everyone working on new features and releases but kept enough of a skeleton crew to charge legacy customers outrageous support fees.

But for all practical intents and purposes, it's dead. One guy releasing things like "ls -sh now actually shows human readable output" being highlighted as a new feature kind of tells you everything you need to know.

Political teenage angst? Is English not your native language? One person taking an action isn’t reflective of society collectively rejecting something. This isn’t an opinion up for debate.

90M+ consoles sold is proof society has completely accepted the idea of a locked ecosystem with hardware they don’t get to control.
