Moral Money: Commons Money that Works for Us, Not Us Working for It

We have to realize that we are all enmeshed in the present money system, which makes it difficult to see it as it is.  Because those of us who are not on the edge also benefit, through investments and unearned income, its structure is justified in our minds.  Let the reader beware.  The present analysis gores sacred cows.

Et Tu, Brutus? Oracle Database on the Way Out

i read “NoSQL to Undo Oracle’s Database Reign.” The author is a person who once worked at Oracle. Like Brutus, the author knows Julius Caesar. Sorry, I meant the jet loving, top dog at Oracle.
