Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I never understand how articles are always excited to announce stuff like this. Yes, ok the C suite is going to get a fat check, but being acquired by a company that exclusively focus on making money isn't really a good thing. Selling database support to enterprises don't have the exponential growth that those investors are usually craving. Are those investors OK with a slow but steady income flow?

Every TC article I've seen recently is furious jerking about how totally legal AI is and how it will finally defeat the copyright Great Satan.

As I'm sure you'll be informed by David, a lot of "tech" press pieces are thinly rewritten PR puff pieces.

Well, they used to have 700 customers.
