SEEKING WORK / Remote / Based in Boston
DevOps + Developer + Sysadmin

I have over 12 years of Linux experience, and have been developing in Python and Java for 10 years. My work background is primarily in health software and bioinformatics, but I have been doing a variety of freelance gigs across several industries for a while now.

Most recently I have helped two companies dockerize their app stacks, created an ad-hoc bioinformatics data pipeline with a GUI, and written a continuous parallel DNS resolver in Golang to help a company monitor DNS change propagation on their domains.

Primary Languages/Technologies: Python, Java, Go, Bash, Docker/Docker Compose, Linux, Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, AWS.

I'd be happy to help in any way I can, whether it be debugging legacy java software, dockerizing your apps, writing ad-hoc ETL pipelines, or anything else! Shoot me a message.

He almost certainly meant a few states do not collect state income tax.

I'm in a state with no state income tax as well (Washington). I've lived in states with income tax before. As a single individual with high income that rents their primary residency I greatly benefit from living in places without income tax compared to places with even modest income taxes.

>$15,000 per person for food alone is more than the global per capita GDP in 2018!

So in the United States, one acre of wheat yields an average 37.1 bushels of wheat. That's about 210,000 kcals of flour per acre using modern machinery.

If we look at https://livinghistoryfarms.wordpress.com/2015/07/28/grain-ha... we find that in the 19th century a skilled cradler could harvest 1 ½ -2 acres a day.

Grain was harvest by hand until the first century when the vallus was invented so I'm going to just estimate a difficulty increase of 4 people being able to harvest an acre in a day without a vallus or a cradle.

Beloch's 1886 estimate for the population of the empire during the reign of Augustus suggests there were 23 million European Romans, if we assume 'Rome' means the city I haven't a clue what the population would have been, if we assume the whole empire then Beloch's estimate was 54 million.

Let's just assume 1 million people with 20% of their caloric intake being grain and assume an even 2000 kcals per person.

So we need a bit over 1900 acres assuming no spoilage per million people. Wheat has a fairly narrow harvest window as you need to harvest it once it reaches a certain moisture level and if you leave it too dry too long it can easily be damaged/detached from wind and rain.

Let's assume a team of 4 people can realistically harvest, and prepare for further drying, 5 acres in the window.

That means we need 3800 people per million mouths fed a diet that gets 20% of it's kcals from wheat using ancient harvesting methods. Obviously this is an estimate but I tried to be generous in favor of the harvesting and my kcal number is likely low. Yields would also be markedly reduced back then without chemical fertilizer/herbicides/pesticides.

So 3800 people per million mouths earning 800-1000 sesterces a year ( https://www.slideshare.net/javierredondas/jobs-salariesrome ) let's assume another 10% in cost for milling (probably low) so we'll assume 3,762,000 sesterces per 1 million people for 20% of their kcal needs.

Converting sesterces to modern money is a bit tricky but at 1990 silver prices a single sesterce was worth about $1 and by mid 2010 would have been about $3.25 according to https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/spqr/money-1.h...

So anywhere from 3-12 million dollars per million people. I'm guessing this would have been more like 15-45 million dollars per million people so even with that figure we're looking at maybe 2 billion dollars for all of the Roman empire.

So yeah, I like the (IIRC) 1.5 billion dollar figure mentioned in the book I referenced elsewhere which is why I left it at 1 billion and then some in my comment.
If we saw women as equals they would be offended or feel violated. It's best that we don't do that.
Why are we surprised they're okay with censoring in China when they already censor here at home, for example conservative voices on Youtube.

It sounds like you did all you could in your situation and you were willing to work through it with her. Empathy and support are really all you can provide in situations like yours. Particularly as a partner there isn't much more you should do other than encourage professional help.

Eating disorders are a complicated class of mental illness with a varying collection of co-morbid issues such as anxiety and depression. I've come to dislike the binary labeling of anorexia and bulimia because the symptomology is so much more complex than the classifications we give them.
> EVs = No need of importing Oil

I've been harping continuously on this for several years. Countries grudging accept importing oil and the geopolitical strings that come with that because they have no choice. But electrified transportation gives them a choice.

That's an argument against framing this debate based on the preferences of US political leaders, oil companies and guys who sees his pickup truck as an extension of his identity[1]. World wide picture those guys opinion and power is unimportant.

[1] I also think you put a guy like that in an electric pickup that can smoke the tires and he'll never go back.
This is particularly interesting in light that Ford announced the same just back in May: https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/04/26/605971051...
> if they can simply get someone with the right tech skills.

I think this may definitely be part of it. If diversity has any effects, then it's quite likely they're outweighed by other business factors that may have a bigger influence on the success of the company (like financial backing, an original/meaningful idea, high levels of skill in tech/design/marketing, simply being in the right place at the right time to capture an upcoming market, etc).

But perhaps it may be visible in a situation with evenly matched companies on all those other things.
How do you measure something like that?

Without Elon, SpaceX wouldn't exist (and in all likelyhood no comparable company would exist in its place), so all of it.

Without everyone but Elon, SpaceX wouldn't exist, so none of it.

> and won't ever be competitive with Facebook, TikTok, etc.

Which is just another example of why the corporate culture today is absolutely insane.

Why can there not be a site like Tumblr that is perfectly stable (leaving aside for the moment whether today's Tumblr is or could become that stable), but is not and could never be "the next Facebook" or "the next Twitter"?
They can't even figure out how to accept credit cards.
>you're suggesting people should do it

I never suggested people do anything. Just explaining certain changes to the system as a result of the crack down.

But I think the thought is requiring the Rx Tylenol be tried first does successfully deter people who fit drug seeking behavior and second physicians were to often writing opioids as a first line of defense to pain, whereas Tylenol will work just fine for most.

My guess is studies also show that overall healthcare costs go down and not up as you say. Maybe in those instances a patient really needs the opioid for pain they have a slight cost increase, but for many others it will save them from addiction, weed out a lot of drug seeking patients and the costs associated with addiction/hospitalization/OD/etc.... There are a lot of hidden costs in opioid abuse.

Still it’s not my rules or changes, if you don’t like it and think you can show in the aggregate these changes are driving up costs in healthcare to the detriment of patients who legitimately need opioids, write your congressman. But I don’t think to many people will give your stance a sympathetic ear so long as people who do need them can still get them.
you talk about enabling signed firmware like it was done for a proprietary reason and not a massive security one. take a look at the fake Pascal gpu's on ebay where people are flashing unsigned firmware to old Fermi cards to fake windows into thinking they're actual Pascal cards...

that said, youre right that it's not good that the nouveau driver is so far behind the proprietary one, and Im not trying to say that nvidia isn't at fault for that, just that it's a more complicated issue that people tend to portray it as.

Obviously thinking one element of a culture is good means you agree with everything that culture does.
This is a good way to summarize the javascript community. Not learning from the past is possibly a side effect of being dominated by young and/or inexperienced programmers and being less inclined to research established concepts before making something up. Although there are plenty of benefits to younger programmers (I hope, I'm one myself), but there are drawbacks to everything.

Google in China would have been a way for Google (and Western Democracies) to get the most current listing of what China is asking companies to filter.

Whatever China was not comfortable asking international companies to filter (it shows to others things that Chinese government is trying to control), would have been shown by google to Chinese users by default.

Question for the google engineers here objecting to filtered products in China...
Is the right to restrict right to the outcome of ones labor after it is sold universal? Who else would you grant the right to restrict the fruits of their labor from being used by you if they don't agree with you on something that may be important to them?

Can a coal miner ask the utility company to stop electrical service to the parents of a google engineer residing in heartland? If no, why not?

Why can't the baker deny decorating a cake a certain way against their will?

If you are asking for a ethical right to deny basic things (internet search is just about there as electricity, food, shelter, emergency care), just imagine if all the things you depend on came with similar exceptions that excluded you from using it.

I would have imagined lot of googlers taking objection to blatant content/speech suppression on YouTube. But they are completely fine if it is their ideology winning as a outcome of a said effort, no matter the ethics.

In addition to asteroid mining and other industrial activities, once pricing comes down, I think entertainment could be a large market.

Space tourism is one possibility, but tourists have to deal with getting sick going up.

I think entertainment produced in space but sold on Earth could be big - particularly space sports! You could design sports that are just not possible to play on a planet.
About 20 years ago I read a book of first person accounts of addiction. I was amazed. All the addicts had become addicted when heroin was legal and cheap - and they were leading normal lives with jobs and families. It was when drugs were made illegal that their addiction suddenly became something which destroyed their lives.

Human Resources does not exist to protect the employees. They exist to protect the company from employees. So victims are right to fear HR.

In a way it is like Game of Thrones. If you take something to HR, you better win. And sometimes both of you lose.

That sounds like the difference between the J and P traits in the MBTI system. J-types (judgers) like me (and probably you) tend to plan ahead a lot and like to have matters settled, whereas P-types (perceptors) prefer to keep decisions open and decide how to do stuff when the time comes to act. I would guess that pmarreck is a P-type, or would at least lean towards P.

Wikipedia has more details on MBTI, and there are online self-tests for your own MBTI classification.

Disclaimer: Note the "Criticism" part of the Wikipedia page. MBTI is AFAIK not a tool that professional psychologists would use. Nonetheless, I find it useful in order to find similar people on the internet. For example, if I want to learn a new skill, a search query like "[thing] tutorial for INTJ" gives me way better results than just "[thing] tutorial" because I get recommendations from people who think in similar ways.
