A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This is such a stupid idea, it could have only come from Larry Ellison. I guess you would need everything tied together so that you can watch every person all the time in every place.

My company is one of the top large data management firms specializing in Oracle in the world. What Larry is proposing is impossible with Oracle. He has no understanding of the limitations of his own product. Or he does and is just talking out his ass so he can scam the gullible Trump administration out of billions of dollars.

Sounds like USSR style authoritarian dictatorship with planned economy with extra steps.

Do we get to eat the rich first?

These are the kind of people that played cyberpunk and thought "damn all this hyper capitalist stuff is pretty neat".
