One million euro stake. Let's see how long it takes before we get an angry email from IT.
WHO PRESSED THE BUTTON!?
(But seriously what is this nonsense?)
"Oracle has announced they will start charging for the use of Java. They will use a very acute model: whenever a single employee of a company or institute downloads Java, Oracle will immediately charge the entire company or institute for all employees."

We're done with the second and final day of "parent orientation" at #UVa and have collected our son, to keep him for a few more weeks until classes start. Even though we live nearby, 1st-year students are required to live in dorms.
Much of the orientation was about the importance of letting go. Older students in a roundtable discussion were asked how often they wanted parents to contact them: "Every couple of weeks, maybe", or "Once a month". Dunno if I'm up to that!
Our son starts at the University of Virginia (#UVa) this Fall. Today my wife and I spent the first of two days of "parent orientation" alongside his student orientation session. We heard interesting talks about the changes going on in young adult brains, and how best to help our son during this new phase of his life.
We weren't sure about signing up for the orientation. I've worked at UVa for 40 years, so I don't need a tour of the grounds. I'm glad we did it, though. I learned a lot.

Jordan Peterson says that #RFKjr is a "Classic Democrat." Then again, he calls himself a "classic British liberal" and absolutely NOT "right-wing." Right.
Anyways, I starting writing this about RFKjr because he's clearly a conspiratorial loon. But Jordan Peterson supports him, so what does that make Peterson?
Now als at the #UniversityofAmsterdam #UvA #Ukraine

The "Unissued Diplomas" exhibition uncovers the stories of 36 Ukrainian students killed in the war. It will be held in 45+ universities worldwide on February 24, which marks the anniversary of the day all Ukraine woke up from explosions. The exhibition will last until April 2.
