Translated: “I have over 64,000 karma and am somehow surprised I have an unfavorable reputation in a regular reader, and my reaction to that is to get feisty.” You’re right though,…

I couldn’t imagine it, no, because I care more about the number of hairs on my scrotum than whether you consider me boring or, really, any larger opinion you’d have of me at all. H…

Watch the difference: “Those people up there sleep 15 to a room and have a sustenance existence. They aren’t doing it to be a cultural attraction, they actually have to fish to liv…

That’s what you got? Calling out a very colonial, otherizing view of the world, and I’m upset he’s got money? The money is illustrative of the sentiment, not the call to arms. That…

There’s an imagery created by your story of you, standing next to your half million dollar airplane in your aviators and fancy khakis you bought just for this trip, annoyed you can…

Correct. They had it first, which is why I lightly check the “they use $ too? That’s confusing.” sentiment. The Dutch, ever innovative in trade, can lay claim as a bigger influence…

Context. Canadian dollars use $ too, and you only see CAD near the border or when it isn’t clear. If I’m a Colombian using a Colombian site and pesos use $, I don’t need the contex…

The Y axis of the graph which actually has relevant information. You are looking at a campaign page, and assuming those Colombian pesos are available to the author’s team. When you…

No, it doesn’t. In many other locales “mil” means thousand, unlike slang for million. This is why in finance, $5mm means five million dollars. Five mil mil. Five thousand thousand.…

That’s like saying “we hired the getaway driver, we can rob the bank now, right?” You’ve identified the first step of the plan. There are about nineteen more, and the theoretical n…

One of the largest and most secretive companies in the world, the same one obsessed with preventing all leaks from exiting the company, the same one who produces ubiquitous devices…

Good thing it wasn’t my primary responsibility and I didn’t, you know, study the system Google expected me to administer for a living. That sort of knowledge might have shaped my c…

I love when a thread has been dead for hours and the roaches come out of the woodwork to begin turning a conversation personal because it was linked somewhere, and I obviously and …

Indeed. The universe where you aren’t trying to replace Borg, and instead have other motives for conceiving of Kubernetes in the first place. That’s all I’m trying to say. Hadoop i…

Borg will remain orders of magnitude beyond Kubernetes until Kubernetes is completely rearchitected. It’s not scalability bugs. It’s decisions regarding how the cluster maintains s…

I’m talking about competitors to GKE, which is the entire thesis of that point and that you refuse to acknowledge, which is why you’re knee jerking FUD. I’m a solo developer. I mak…

> I don't disagree that Kubernetes is not positioned to be a replacement for Borg Good. Because that was my point, but the verbiage “don’t disagree” says a lot. We agree, except fo…

So it descends from Borg, which is fine. It does not replace Borg or indicate a Google strategy to replace Borg with Kubernetes, which was my entire point with supporting points on…

I suppose that’s fair, but I’d argue against switching even being a primary motivation for anyone at Google, which is why I don’t think of it that way. You do have a point, though.…

You heard wrong. There’s a meme out there, helpfully nudged along by Google, that Kubernetes is Borg “done right” and the successor. It’s even mentioned in this article. Neither of…

The original joke involved simply the demonym for the servicemember and can be used with any service, and says “they teach sailors/soldiers/airmen to ...” and “well they teach mari…

Nobody should ever type the words “every citizen can generate cryptographic certificates” in that order. That’s like saying every citizen can compose jazz; technically true, which …

That is the interpretation I’d expect from someone bought in, to only see people and their perspectives along an axis of wealth generation impetus. I’m sorry to disappoint, but als…

Utopian hubris, perhaps. Subtle distinction.
