Apache Helix – Near-Realtime Rsync Replicated File System

Hi Ron. If you're still employed by Oracle, it might not be a bad idea to disclose that, either in the specific comments where you may be talking (semi-)authoritatively about Java and its licensing / commercial model, or within your HN profile. I recall the last talk I saw from you was an AMA at QCon London in 2019 about Java, where you were with Oracle.

I found the comments really clueful but also appreciate when others like e.g. @_msw_ are very overt with disclosure of their employment and interests whilst talking about $employer's stuff on HN (and in his case that'd be AWS and EC2).

Hey Alex! Yes I am with Oracle, and indeed I always make sure to disclose my affiliation: I do so on HN every couple of months or whenever it's relevant (when saying something that could be biased/controversial). It's not just a nice thing to do, but it's also company policy.
