| schestowitz[TR2] | I agree AK said we are in the early innings, BUT that doesn’t mean the innings only apply to NA and Northern Europe. India was the beneficiary of the outsourcing, but they are also the target of AI automation, as there are few NA or Northern Europeans left in place to get. AI will replace repetitive tasks and most of those tasks are being performed in lower cost countries. Just because IBM didn’t make the jump to AI instantly, | Oct 19 02:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but rather jumped to low price labor instead, doesn’t mean they will not pursue labor replacement via AI over the long term. IBM made a short term decision on first world labor replacement for third world labor replacement, because it saved money instantly. (eg first innings). IBM will now pursue AI automation, thus replacing 3rd world labor (eg later innings). IBM’s pursuit in NA will be to partner off lower margin businesses | Oct 19 02:37 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or consolidate them. Scale out/non-enterprise infrastructure, non-hybrid cloud, TSS, and most likely Tucson and Rochester plants are in the cross hairs. | Oct 19 02:37 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | <blockquote> | Oct 19 12:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>The free software movement has been around for several decades. During all this time, numerous contributors to the GNU Project and other free software projects have worked hard to develop thousands of programs that benefit everybody. Their hard work has made it possible that today the term "free software" stands for all the programs that users can rely on if they want to control their own | Oct 19 12:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | computing. Users turn to free software because of that intrinsic value, and there is a great risk of harm if the name "free software" is used for software which does not grant the user the four freedoms. </p> | Oct 19 12:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p> Free software means users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change, and improve the software - for any purpose. The word "free" in "free software" means liberty, not price. To be able to exercise their freedom in practice, users have to be provided with the program's source code and it should either be in the public domain or licensed under a free software license. </p> | Oct 19 12:23 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>Now, in MySQL 9.1, triggers are handled in two distinct phases.
