Significantly, this was written before the discovery of perchlorates in Martian soil, at levels that are toxic to humans. At a minimum, this means that human settlement will only be possible after a significant long-term terraforming process, not before.
I have to doubt that this is a problem with Google. Either your friend's website was just launched (and not yet indexed), or your friend's site seems to have unusually bad SEO and configuration. Doing a Google search just for the URL brings up no results for the actual site -- though it does bring up all of your friend's social media sites:

https://www.google.com/search?q="www.catbartlett.com.au"

I don't think the problem is with Google. I think the problem is how the site is set up. I hope this is not something particular to Wix sites:

Make sure your distro provides security updates for git. For instance, CVE-2018-17456 (another RCE via submodules bug) was recently disclosed and patched in Debian Jessie (oldstable), even though jessie has git 2.1.x which may not be getting updates from git core developers.

Otherwise, old and new git interact really quite well. You'll miss out on new features, naturally. Because of reasons, I still make daily use of 1.8.2.2 and it's fine! (but only when interacting with trusted peers within my organization, that thing hasn't seen a security patch in a decade or so)

As for release notes, every release gets its own file here: https://github.com/git/git/tree/master/Documentation/RelNote... -- you'll get the highlights of major features by reading the x.y.0 release notes.

Git is not a hard build from source as such things go, but it leaves you to track security fixes on your own.
It's not quite that easy because of a) the noise (you're fitting distributions not values) and b) the fact that multiple light sources affect a given pixel, so you have to be a bit clever. But yes, you can get parallelism by spatial partition.

I do feel a bit uneasy about the type of arguments that reminds me of Putin's rhetoric in Russia: yes, X is bad, but look at Y!

Russia was correctly called out for using this logic in domestic and international propaganda, and now we see this spreading to Western media as well.
National ID is opposed in the USA (and also in New Zealand, Australia, and the UK) because it's seen as overly intrusive of the government.

It starts as a national ID scheme, and then eventually everything about your life gets centralised into one database, which the government is free to abuse.

I'm also opposed to the idea that you're legally required to carry an ID card at all times, like in many European countries.

This is already happening in Australia with MyGov, which is an online platform for all your government things. As part of MyGov, they've introduced My Health Record, which is single central medical record. Apparently the Australian Taxation Office have been using My Health Record to go after sex workers for tax evasion by searching for people with an abnormally high frequency of STI checks.
Sounds like a risky strategy TBH. On the one hand, you saved the trouble/expense of going to court right then and there to get the severance package. On the other hand, going out of business doesn't always mean there's no successor with standing to sue on their behalf, and the kind of people who pick up shuttered companies' assets at pennies on the dollar are often exactly the kind of people who might engage in a little legal greymail.

It sounds like the problem was bureaucracy--Georgia not being able to fix a birth certificate issue without travelling to Georgia. The solution to that is--to nationalize the bureaucracy?

It's not like a nationalized system wouldn't be dependent on administrative subdivisions. In this case, Mr. Bearden's birth information would've still been filed away somewhere in Atlanta. Likewise, any solution that involves getting those records from Atlanta to somewhere else could be implemented just as easily without having a central national ID system.

I really agree with your first point. There is an incredible amount of potential in web pages as teaching tools. I'd love to see someone make a math notebook environment for tablets with a stylus. It could pull up a sort of intellisense as you write (for example first, second, nth derivatives, common expressions, suggestions for factoring, etc.). It could have graphs. It could have a reddit like QA section. Really, there are so many unexplored ways of connecting people who are struggling with a concept with just the information they need. Who wants to watch a ten minute video to hear about that one equation three quarters of the way through? Just learn what helps people like them and offer it up as potential solutions while they are working through problems.

There is the possibility of pre-endering Mathjax but that seems like it would be a lot of work.
It's hard for people outside the experience of poverty to understand it. It's not just a ticket if you can't afford to pay it, and can't afford time off work to fight it in court.
It is deeply uncomfortable working in the tech industry knowing how much Saudi money has been sunk into VC funds and VC-back tech cos (some of which I've worked for).
It is not just the USA. The UK is a major manufacturer and supplier of military equipment to the Saudis, as is Canada. In fact just about every NATO country sells a significant amount of armaments to the Saudi military. Take a look at the wikipedia page for the saudi army and saudi air force and examine what aircraft, vehicles and weapons systems they use.

There are ongoing operational maintenance and training contracts worth billions. US "advisors" employed by major defense contractors are in Saudi Arabia right now training the Saudi air force.

Ex-AWS. I joined when the service I was on was under a year old. It was a good team to be on inside AWS, in general.

That said:

1) I ultimately felt powerless to make changes. Hiring people in to the service was (at the time) proving to be a massive uphill struggle. It just wasn't one of the "sexy" services to be working on, and the ops team didn't have a dedicated manager who could focus on that. It left about 90% of my work consisting of two things. Compliance work, and region builds. Even outside of that, a lot of the things that slowed us down were things like established tooling that had seen _zero_ proper business funding until later in my time there (I some are drastically improved), and this absolutely absurd obsession with re-inventing the wheel in every single team to do exactly the same things, even when the task required months of engineering time (I shudder at the thought of how much money got wasted paying engineers to re-do the same work, and re-discover the same bugs and problems.) I ultimately had no power to drive things forwards.

2) One manager left, and the replacement had absolutely no interest in the operational aspects of the platform. They seemingly only felt empowered to say "yes" to managers above them. Even if that meant their team was working 80 hour weeks. (the manager has since left and things have improved, so I'm told). One of the things that got to be absolutely insane was the amount of effort involved in launching a region. It needed dedicated developer time, and that particular manager just didn't give a damn. That manager's attitude and refusal to work on operational concerns were a big source of my frustration in the team. Looking around AWS, all I could see were other teams that were in a worse operational position, suffering serious levels of burn out, and I just decided I wanted nothing more to do with it.

Here's a big tip: If you make operations a priority, you can land features far faster. You don't keep tying up staff doing manual stuff or fighting fires.

I left AWS and joined Oracle to work on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, for a number of reasons. Not least of which was that a former manager from the service I worked for in AWS is running the Compute platform. I knew him, knew what he was like, and trusted him when he said one of the most important things to him was keeping operational burden of the platform down. I'd learned to trust his judgement in AWS, and it's something he's continued to deliver on here.

I'll be honest, this is one of the most enjoyable jobs I've ever had. Better pay, better benefits than AWS, great co-workers, senior directors with their priorities straight. Managers that politely but firmly insist you take time off if you ever have to do extra hours (and follow through with you if you don't.)

You don't like his service, use another. YouTube doesn't own all of the video streaming services around. Not even close.

All your arguments just don't apply to the case you're trying to make. YouTube doesn't own all the video streaming services. And the government doesn't restrict your right to speak freely outside of YouTube.

So where is the necessity to speak on YouTube coming from?

Yep, it's gambling.
If the money is passed back in dividends instead of share buybacks, it's taxed as income. The people who are receiving this income are probably quite wealthy. Let's lowball it and say that they were making $200,000 per year before receiving the dividends. I live in Louisiana, so I'll use a Louisiana income tax calculator [0]. At $200,000 per year, the marginal tax rate is 39.4%. The whole income is not taxed at this level, but any income you earn past $200,000 (e.g. dividends) is.

Uniqlo is a Japanese retailer, so they would be paying Japanese corporate tax rates. I can't pretend to be an expert in Japanese corporate tax, so my estimate of their marginal tax rate is just going to be their profit divided by their tax paid for the latest financial year I can find. We can find these data from their 2017 financial statements [1]. In 2017 they paid $584,025,000 in income taxes out of a total of $1,751,484,000 income before taxes. This gives us almost exactly a 1/3 marginal rate (33.345%).

Combining the personal and corporate tax rates gives us 1 - (2/3 * (1-.394)) = 59.6% tax rate. I may have underestimated the easily part, but in most states income tax would be slightly higher than in Louisiana, which would push us over the 60% threshold.

For comparison, an average worker in a warehouse might be making $30,000 per year. At that income, the total tax burden is $5,578 = 18.59%.

Some of this is bound by the size of the investment. Sub 10,000$ returns are not going to change your life, but when you can start cashing in the equivalent of your annual salary not taking money off the table gets risky.

At that point think of it as a math problem.

Suppose you own a stock that’s never going to issue a dividend, but will do buybacks until eventually the company fails. In such situations you can expect 0-X doublings and a final price of zero.

Now, what strategy works best depends on X, buy and hold is clearly a losing strategy in all situations. Further you don’t know X but you can come up with a reasonable bounds as nothing is going to be worth say 10^30$.

Another approach is to simply constantly sell a fixed percentage each month. That’s very useful if you only have one large investment that does not nessisarily fail, just stop growing exponentially.
The cynical answer is, basically, the Houthis are backed by Iran, who the US is happy to allow a US-equipment-supplied third party military to attack, because, well, "fuck iran", right? Axis of evil, nuclear program and all that. Iran's support for Hezbollah, which is in direct contradiction to the US' ongoing support of Israel, etc.

The excellent Casey Handmer covers some of the new facts that have come to light since this paper was written.

> Last week, a Nature paper (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-018-0529-6) was published by Jakosky and Edwards arguing that, based on data from more recent orbiters, the total near-surface reserves of CO2 are much too low to built up the atmosphere enough for terraforming. What a bummer!

He describes some of the back-and-forth dispute, but ultimately comes down pretty pessamistic on Mars terraforming.

I use DuckDuckGo as my default. The only time I ever have to revert to Google search is when I'm searching for things indexed within the past year. This is a pretty crucial feature when searching for technical items (ensures a good number of search results while also being relatively current). For some reason, DDG only lets you search up to the last month. If they added the ability to search within the past year, I probably wouldn't need to use Google search at all.
Passports can’t double as ID because that’d conflict with the primary purpose of passports, passing through borders.

A national ID would presumably be available, or obligatory, to everyone. But countries can and do deny passports or rescind them < the passport is a letter asking the govt of a foreign country to let its citizen in. Sometimes you don’t want a citizen to leave or vouch for him.

Anyways all states I’ve lived in have IDs that are solely IDs

If that makes you uncomfortable, research how much Saudi money was already invested into US real estate and major financial companies when 9/11 happened. The deal since the post WW2 era has basically been:

a) US and UK provide military equipment and military power to guarantee the security of the house of Saud. (Example: US reaction to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, operation desert shield/desert storm).

b) Saudi government and ARAMCO extract a shitload of oil and sell it, while using technical services of US and UK oil companies

c) Saudi government re-invests a certain huge amount of the proceeds from their post-1940s oil wealth into the US and UK economies.
Well, I actually wanted the F-22, but for some reason I doubt that is what you meant. About 5000 should do, which is nothing compared to what we built under difficult wartime conditions in World War II.

Ex-Amazon here. I spent eight years working at Amazon in Edinburgh, on three different teams - a now-dead music encyclopedia to complement IMDb, a team doing recommendations on the Amazon homepage (we were the 'customers who bought X also bought Y' team!), and finally an ill-fated graphic storyboarding tool for Amazon Studios.

I'm now working at Sequentec, a two-person contracting company providing engineering services, primarily for wave/tidal power startups in Scotland. My boss, a veteran of the industry, is a mechanical/hydraulic/electrical/control systems engineer and general jack of all trades. I write C code for B&R industrial controllers, using a proprietary Windows-based toolchain. I also write a lot of Python to get logged data off the controllers and into databases, and occasionally I'm called on to do fairly random things - reliability analysis, network/VPN engineering, wi-fi antenna selection, wiring and soldering of sensors, and a lot of interfacing to serial peripherals with custom protocols. I've programmed atop a tidal platform in the middle of a large river, and on a gantry above one of the world's most advanced wave tanks. It's great.

I left Amazon for a lot of reasons: eight years is a long time for a graduate job, the culture had changed a lot since I'd joined (less of an emphasis on work-life balance, and growing from 30 to 90 devs meaning that I no longer knew everybody's name), and I needed a job with more flexibility (I now work effectively part-time). It was definitely the right choice for me, even though I took a large pay cut to do so.
For me it’s very rare and used where I would write something like concatMap in Haskell.

citiesByState = {
'WA': ['Seattle', 'Spokane', 'Olympia'],
'OR': ['Portland', 'Salem'],
'CA': ['San Francisco', 'Los Angeles', 'San Diego'],
}
cityToState = {city: state
for state, cities in citiesByState.items()
for city in cities}

I would generally avoid multiple levels in a comprehension but there are some very simple two-level cases like this that I use occasionally. I feel that the code is easy to read, at least.
