I'm not sure you understand wet bulb and heat index. Heat index is largely irrelevant when talking about the precautions mentioned. The actual temperature is no where near 70C, and actual temperatures matter when talking about cooling that does not use ambient air (and evaporative cooling assuming 100% humidity in this case).

A wet bulb of 35C means that there is a thermometer covered with a wet cloth reading that temperature. That could be 35C with 100% humidity, or it could be a higher temperature with a lower humidity.

Can you explain how your air conditioner keeps you cool? Do you think this machine is the only thing that can perform a similar function? It's all about removing excess heat from your body. An air conditioner does this by cooling air and removing humidity. This can be from the cool air on your skin and the ability for your sweat to evaporate. When your sweat can't evaporate you need another way to transfer heat. Water is very efficient for this due to its specific heat (anything at a cooler temperature with sufficient thermal mass can work). Some people can even become hypothermic in 27C water if left in it long enough.

Edit: I guess people just downvote things they don't like or find to be inconvenient.
I think it’s a bit anachronistic. Today, when a project ends at one of these big companies, the people get laid off. They may find another position internally, but everybody starts at zero again. The only thing that matters is the skill set and proficiency demonstrated in your last project. Sucking it up on a bad assignment sets you up for more of the same. And let’s face it, you’re not going to excel. Career aspirations over. Mediocrity is a state, not an identity, and there is a reason most people end up there. The people that liked your attitude working on stupid stuff will help you get more of the same. If you want to go from bad to good, you have to make a change yourself. You have to skill up, maybe quit, maybe go back to school, maybe find someone with big ambitions that is desperate enough to take a chance on you. It’s going to feel like a step down, an admission of failure. Because it is, whether your fault or not. Just get out. But why don’t people do this? Why do they get stuck? Usually this comes down to personal relationships that are not robust to failure, cannot accept downgrade of lifestyle or prestige. These people are stuck faking it forever, living in the land of the dead.

If you heated the soil to that point, I think you would end up with sterilized soil (or even just ash) that wouldn’t be very good for growing much.
Surely someone applied for a patent on this vinyl copy protection, so a patent search around the years, say, 1960-79 would be the first place to look.
Customers don't interact with the POS but our staff do. I tried several distributions a couple years ago and found that Elementary had the least amount of clutter in the UI. Our staff are young and most are not technically savvy. For many, an iPhone is their most familiar computing device. This was the environment that seemed most comfortable. The dock bar at the bottom also made it easy to present the limited number of apps they would need.

>>> setting text size in pixels instead of points

That's jlarocco's comment. He goes on to say that was done for "for no good reason", which suggest he's opposed to using pixels and prefers using points instead.

The rest of his comment gave me the impression that he prefers using points to pixels because:

1. on a high dpi display, each pixel is smaller

2. css pixels correspond to physical pixels

therefore using "px" in css would result in small text, whereas points presumably wouldn't have this issue.

>> "px" in css doesn't correspond to literal pixels on the display.

That's my comment. I mentioned this fact to correct his prior assumption that he thinks "px" in css corresponds to physical pixels on the display. I didn't explicitly state that 1.33px = 1pt because I couldn't find the exact reference for it, but I did go on to state it later.

>You ”justified” (I don’t know the intent of your comment, really) the use of points because pixels don’t match physical pixels.

no, I justified the use of pixels, because they were in fact independent of the physical pixels on the display, contrary to what jlarocco thinks. If they did in fact correspond to physical pixels on a display, that would be a defect on high dpi screens, because it would result in smaller text.

You've then successfully ported your code base from one language for which it's really difficult to find programmers to another language for which it's really difficult to to find programmers.

Your last paragraph is nonsense and your using it to justify your own identity. Your last sentence terrifies me. It means you have no idea whats going on either and have sold out or bought in to something you don't completely understand.

You are absolutely correct. Over the course of a few phone calls and some simple diagrams, my team managed to shrink what looked like 18 months of effort for 10 people, down to 2 simple, 3 week projects for 3 people. It wasn't wizardry...it was communication.
No, the British and French, Belgians, Dutch and Germans who went off to find wealth in the colonies were poor-er than their elder brothers who joined the landed aristocracy or the Church, but they were nothing like the Irish or Chinese who were deported or forced out by starvation. They went to the colonies with full rights - beyond the rights they had at home - to do whatever they liked. And in Africa especially, mostly what they did was rape, drink and degenerate. Which was what they would have done back home; that's why they were given one-way boat rides. That and the fact that the empires had so much money, there was no way to spend it in the home country. And so many sons there weren't enough places for them all in the bureaucracy.

But no, it's not expecting too much of people to think they might retain their civilization when they willingly and gleefully go take up ownership of a plantation in a colony. Frankly, the Irish and Chinese in America were far more civilized than the Boers ever were, because they had to be. The Boers just showed up somewhere they could act like petty gods over black people and they did, until they forgot civilization completely.
I try and spin my personal projects (compilers?!) to match the job requirements. This has worked well for my last two jobs.

It is necessary for some miners to choose to use the post-fork software in order for it to work, but miners take on the task of mining due to financial incentives, and the users ultimately control those incentives. Miners only have a choice in the sense that they could collectively choose to abandon their profits as a matter of principle.
>Screenshots obtained by Reuters show that Google employees who previously commuted an hour to Google’s Manhattan offices from nearby Stamford, Conn., for example, would see their salaries slashed by 15 percent if they choose to continue working from home. By contrast, “Googlers” who live within NYC’s five boroughs and choose to work from home permanently would not see their pay slashed at all.

This seems silly to me. That CT employee likely commuted to the NY office pre-Covid (a huge percentage of people who work in NYC have always lived in NJ or CT for COL issues). If they choose to work from home, how are they any different from an employee living in NYC who chooses to work from home? This is not at all the same thing as someone moving from SV or NYC to rural Wyoming to arbitrage COL differences as a remote worker. The CT worker is capable of actually being in the office within an hour if something came up requiring them to be, the guy who moves to WY is not.
This is a useless data point on its own.

I'm not sure what your problem is with using harnesses on roof work - it's basic safety equipment, and even with Australia's (very good) safety laws and (mostly good) safety culture, there's still around 50-60 people killed each year in the construction industry.
> you probably need to read some 'Seaweedfs in production' sort of guide.

This comes across as slightly condescending.

As I'm sure you'd agree, secure by default is very important, and it's what most responsible distributions aim for (i.e., Debian/Ubuntu). Starting up a daemon should not launch it in the most open way possible, but instead the most restricted way possible.

A reasonable expectation is that you should not have to pass the -ip flag; daemons should default to a secure configuration (which probably means defaulting to -ip 127.0.0.1, which you should be able to easily override, if that is your intention, and achieve the default behavior by simply passing -ip 0.0.0.0/0).
No, he says that he flashed SD cards.

Myanmar military (which receives/buys arms from Russia mostly) is using the same tactic to squash the civilian uprising lately. They formed an armed "civilian" group called "Pyu-Saw-Htee" (one of the heroes in Myanmar's early history) and have these guys kill and arrest civilians who fight against the military rule. The military seem to think that they can avoid the blame from international observers when time comes, yet kill and jail as many civilians as they want.

We can’t. Let’s say that you find a magic box that can offset 20% of the carbon emissions globally. Yay you just reduced carbon emissions. But there is no budget for carbon emissions. So those who produce it (agriculture, heavy industry) can now feel free to just produce more CO2 and toss it into the air. Besides, not every place is as industrialized as the US or China but they want to be. So the emissions will soon catch up to the old levels while your machine is cranking at full speed.

It’s the equivalent of getting a second job because you can’t stop spending money: it’ll offset when you go broke but won’t prevent it. The only way to fix this is to tax the shit out of anything that pollutes with CO2 or other greenhouse gasses (which will naturally be passed on as a cost to consumers). There is jo other way out.

A lot of crypto currencies use a lot of electricity that wouldn't have been used otherwise. A portion of that electricity that was used will be non-renewable energy.

Yes, people taking over seas vacations instead of staying home also wastes energy.

My experience after having grown up in America, living in Germany 7 years, and then living almost a year in Australia, is that all those you write might be completely true, but even then, Australia is actually behind the United States in all the things you mentioned. Other than everything being redonk expensive, it's a Anglosphere paradise compared to the United States.

The US is decades ahead of Australia in terms of its descent into a corporate-owned shitshow.

> They are prohibited to spy on you, unless they have been authorized by the law.

> That's the spirit.

Don't turn things upside down!

The spirit is that they are now REQUIRED to spy on all their customers.

Before that they where not allowed to do it any more as there were no exceptions to the new e-privacy laws.

So the companies stopped spying on people as it became illegal.

That caused mayor panic in the EU government as they couldn't use those company's data for mass surveillance any more (law enforcement has access to that data; by now even secretly without court warrants! Before that they had "general warrants" for secret services, "national security" interests, and such).

First thing the EU did was giving the companies an "emergency allowance" to do mass surveillance again.

This law now turn that "emergency allowance" into proper rules, which not only allow mass surveillance, but make it mandatory.

The story (like I told) up until the current point can be read here (frankly in German, by the biggest IT online-media there):

https://www.heise.de/news/EU-Parlament-erlaubt-flaechendecke...

(There you can also see how "powerful" the EU parliament is, and that they again pass laws that are obviously against the constitution. Laws that than must be fought for many years in front the EU courts before those laws get eventually declared illegal; at this point the EU just passes a new illegal law; they're using this "trick" since inception by the way. It worked fine locally in the countries for decades now. At least it's like that in Germany, but I don't think the other countries are an exception as the EU does it also like that since day one).

Don't get me wrong with this last aside: I'm a big fan of the idea behind the EU. But the execution of this idea is more and more turning into a nightmare. Everything that would not be possible locally is cheated thru the EU institutions; than they claim locally "The EU wants it so. We must obey!". But the truth is, the EU is ruled by the governments of the countries, not by the people of said countries, so "the EU" actually does what the governments tell them — the obvious trick being here to "blame the EU" afterwards, pointing away form themself.
I just started using Clarity after seeing the demo yesterday. I like the vision and how fast it is

This is easy to convert notes to tasks (helps if you have an existing systems of projects , tasks )

I know you can do this in notion by assigning tags to rows/ records and filter by tags.

Still I like how clarity does it for me instead of me doing it

The Federal Reserve removes ... never mind, the US dollar isn't backed by shit. I don't know if it'd be helpful to say it's backed by a gov that just passed a multi-trillion spending bill after doubling tripling its public debt without any chances of it declining before it collapses.

This Coinbase news is funny. There'a a small army of geniuses who've spent years attacking Tether, and yet it turns out USDC can't claim full backing either.

The whole thing is moronic, of course - there's no need for it to be fully backed by US dollars, noone counts on it being fully backed by US dollars, and the "real" crypto is backed by nothing to begin with. The fractional USDC still has way more backing than your average shitcoin traded on Coinbase.
Being last-ranked is not a guarantee not to interfere with a residency slot. There are many more factors that go into matching.

Being picky on specialty, or location, is going to make a match more difficult. A Competitive specialty like Ortho, Radiology, or Radiation Oncology trying for a big city that is popular would be a hard fit. Due to how few Radiation Oncology programs there are, even a class valedictorian may not get in - there are just not that many slots.

A less desirable specialty like family practice or internal medicine would be a much easier fit for a lower ranked candidate.
Well that's because the more people use the thing, the easier it is to find solutions for issues with said thing. Looking up a way to do routing in react is way easier than looking it up for a framework with a 100 users.

Issues are also being found way faster simply due to a bigger user base.

It should be relatively easy to port it to other programming languages.

Compared to regular counting Bloom filters, there are some advantages (e.g. uses half the space, lookup is much faster, no risk of overflows). It has a disadvantage: add+remove are slower (currently). Cuckoo filters need less space, but otherwise advantages+disadvantages are the same.

For more questions, just open an issue on that project (I'm one of the authors).
I will use the paper one too. I don't really trust the app.

With the previous covid detection apps (the covid API from Apple/Google) privacy was really a key design goal and I had no issues using that.

With these new QR apps (the EU CoronaCheck program) there was less of a focus on this. Part of that makes sense, as it's meant to identify the user's status it's not possible to be completely anonymous. But there has hardly been any info on whether the apps phone home. Also, the Apple/Google API apps from each country were almost all open source. None of that now. It's taken for granted that privacy is not a concern anymore, for some reason.

I believe the governments in Australia do benefit from the lockdowns. I'm from Australia, but live in Germany, so when I look back home from here, I'm shocked by how deliberately the fear of Covid has been stoked and played up in Australia. Constantly in and out of lockdowns, daily press conferences about death and case numbers, no path out and no hope.

It feels to me that Australia will be a country suffering from PTSD once it finds a way out of the pandemic and impossible dream of zero covid.

(For comparison, here in Europe, the pandemic is largely over, and our vaccination wall is looking strong enough that even what's coming over winter shouldn't be too bad.)
