The problem with adding the Ingress controller via Helm (and with a lot of other Kubernetes abstractions) is that it spits out a lot of code that is then difficult or impossible to reason about. `Helm Ingress --whateversyntaxdefualt` spits out 1000+ lines of Ingress controller code that is essentially two deployments with a health check and auto spin up, but it's complicated. In production can I use this or is there a security hole in there? What if the ports the health check are using overlap with other ports I have assigned somewhere else? What if something equally silly?

Maybe Kubernetes is new so that's why it's so wild west, but it really feels like a pile of bandaids right now.

Mindfulness isn't over-hyped. Mindfulness takes effort. There's crazy videos of buddhist monks walking on their thumbs. People can raise their body temperature several degrees at will (and it's how a lot of open ocean swimmers survive, say, crossing the english channel). But it takes practice, every day, for years and you can't fake it - you're body knows you're cheating and can't be bribed.

Given that - how do you do a statistical analysis across the population of mindfulness meditation vs. pill popping? Pills always work, often with horrible debilitating side effects (yay Opioids!). Meanwhile the monk I met who learned to walk again after being confined to a wheelchair (gymnastics injury) had to sit under a tree for several years doing muscle exercises and willing the pain away.

So of course science can't rationalize it. How do you measure the strength of will of people? It's not so easy to put these sorts of things into a study. So I guess we'll keep eating the poison pill. Shrug.

Sounds great! Are you guys hiring?

I remember reading this article waiting for my haircut this morning.

Here was my biggest takeaway:

> More realistically, he said, Oman could store at least a billion tons of CO2 annually. (Current yearly worldwide emissions are close to 40 billion tons.)

So we're looking at 2.5% sequestration of what we're currently adding, from the largest deposits in the world. Best case, realistically.

The whole thing sounds like a total non-starter.

Seems to me this is easily fixed.

If a jury of peers cannot understand the legal contract during an arbitration, rule in favor of the signor of the contract and against the writer.

You'll see that shit disappear with a quickness.

I mean...Firefox is completely rewritten from the ground up in Rust, a language invented by Mozilla because they rock and they're absolutely killing it. Given that it's the browser with the latest full bore rewrite, shouldn't we expect it to be the coolest atm?

Given that my comment blew up and has high visibility I feel I probably shouldn't share anything specific. It was a pretty much throw away comment that I didn't expect to get as much attention as it did. The best I can say is that after working for the company I think that the general news.ycombinator.com beliefs on the performance of Oracle are entirely justified. I thought going in that it may have been overblown, like you say some sort of "startups are cool, big corps are evil boo" kind of thing, but it is not. I love the people I work with in my section! Just, not the overall firm.

Yes, sorry it is the same person, I apologize for the confusion. I was eating dinner and was using my phone and then came home and switched to my computer. In retrospect I can see how that might seem offputting.
