We're dealing with two misconceptions here. Wind chill is not affected by evaporative cooling. You can of course go below ambient with evaporative cooling, or air conditioning, or any number of methods.

Wind chill is explicitly and only the experienced subjective temperature caused by cold air being continuously replaced by the wind.

For example, take the US National Weather Service's wind chill formula, which only uses wind speed and tempurature as inputs and provides the wind chill in W/m².

Source: https://www.weather.gov/media/epz/wxcalc/windChill.pdf

> Wet bulb temperature is not “the true temperature of the environment”. Besides, that is true for humans as well, so again not any different between living and non-living things.

Wind chill and evaporative cooling are independent mechanisms, and the wind chill value and wet bulb temperature are separate values.

My reply was to your original comment, which said:

> For second the coldest wind chill recorded in the US was -100°F at McGrath, Alaska in 1989.

That value is not the temperature that an object could have reach at that time and place. It is the wind chill, an approximation of how cold it would have to have been on a windless day to make a person subjectively feel equally cold.
That's not how our tax system works. There are different intervals, so at some point you need to pay a higher percentage, but only of the amount above that point.

This year it's 552.500DKK, anything you make ABOVE that, is taxed an additional 15%. So a raise will never leave you with less money. The amount is also adjusted yearly, so next year it normally higher, meaning that you are effectively taxed less.

It is true that if you're only getting 35 - 40% of that raise, because the rest is just taxes, it might be of greater value to you to get more vacation time. Benefits are a little tricky, because they are taxed as well. I believe you could do extra pension, because that's taxed when it's paid out.
The primary system isn’t Democratic to begin with.

It’s a way for a private political party to nominate its candidate. Nowhere else in the world does a party go to a half baked election to decide who a political party should nominate.

The UK is shifting/shifted to this model, and is the best illustration of how much worse it is, with the quality of candidates having dropped dramatically from what the UK used to have across both Labour and Tory parties.
These days it feels like almost every major business is a government, bank or drug money laundering operation at its core... What they say is their main business is actually just the front for the operation. The cash cow is money laundering.

Though you're not wrong, what would a constructive answer be in this case? Discord is ignoring OP and they alone can restore service.

I don't see what constructive answer you can expect in these threads other than "I work at <company> and I DM'd the CEO for you"; I've seen FAANG companies and Stripe respond that way here on HN, but never Discord.

The best alternative I can think of is "that sucks, rotate phone numbers and try with a new account" which is just as completely useless for OP. If that were an option, they'd already done so.

Tech pay is indeed high but not that high and it has a hard ceiling. Thanks to tech i manage to live a pretty decent life style, compared to shop assistants, or say daily construction workers. But going higher means i have to change careers and potentially go into tech business (which is not really tech, but business). A chartered accountant or lawyer, let alone surgeon, would earn as much as i do a day per hour without really “solving problems” in a saturated market (i.e. those jobs dont open source their ip to the point where its worthless).
Yes, of course this is my opinion. The transition has been years in the making and the amount of research and contributions to computing, distributed systems, and cryptography that this transition has created has been immense.

Prior to the merge ethereum’s trust was controlled by the organizations with the most money who bought/built massive data centers to mine it.

With the merge & staking that abstraction layer has disappeared and it’s still the organizations with the most money who control it.

Sure it’s great that non-productive math problems no longer need to be solved & consume so much energy and hardware to make it all work. And it may be an incremental improvement over traditional global finance because there is a much greater ability to publicly scrutinize what goes on.

But no one should consider this a fundamental paradigm shift & democratization compare to traditional financial systems controlled by a a very small number of big players. Their influence still can override the mining process that’s supposed to be the final word on transactions.

Although I’ll clarify a bit: I’m actually a proponent of having a layer of human judgement that can fix a problem when things go off the rails. The issue is that in crypto this layer is even less accessible to smaller players than in traditional finance. The DAO was able to throw its weight around and get a hard fork, but how many other groups with much less influence have suffered from similar problems and exploits without that same benefit?

Yes, even in traditional finance there are some types of irreversible fraud. But for every day transactions, for using money as a daily part of transactions necessary to live your life and not just as a speculative investment, crypto falls far short.

If a criminal spies on my credit card # as I make a purchase and uses that to go on a spending spree I can fix it with the credit card company with little cost but a few hours of time and frustration. If my wallet is pick pocketed or I simply lose it by accident I have a similar recourse to mitigate the fallout. Crypto? No. It may, eventually, have some other benefits though that’s yet to be seen. But as a major change & liberation of people from massively powerful banks and governments there seems to be nothing more that shouted rhetoric and wishful thinking.
Great story, because it demonstrates what people often fail to think about in salary: your hypothetical maximum salary is bounded by the amount of value you add to the finished product.

If you're a key component (welder) in a high priced product (ship), the builder can compensate you $$$$ and still win. So they do.

You can temporarily have unreasonably high pay (higher than value added), but eventually the market will figure it out. The only way to make outsized returns your entire career is to find a supply-limited, high-value-add niche.
This is not a new feature of crypto.

It's ignorance.

You can easily do that with other tech.

Crypto right now is just to new to have been properly regulated yet.

And while you are true that you can run your own wallet, you are depending on the decentralized network, you do need a certain amount of stabity and you need to make sure you can recover and keep your wallet.

Enough people demonstrated at least with the last point and millions lost in locked away wallets that there are still fundamental problems.

Fair enough. Preferred to stay clear of Adobe and their trash subscription model so naturally I feel some resentment. Was enjoying the competition and thought Figma was well ahead of Adobe to be honest.

This raises some interesting questions about "unit testing" hardware. I would assume one would design a board with some regular self testing. (This coukd of course be the problem).

And it would be moderately hard to cheaply fake a chips that met the requirements of form factor, power and so on - and still was able to respond to some basic interrogation but also was flawed in some way (ie the way that cuts out the expensive bit)

Inwoukd love to know the specifics here of how fake chips walk that line. Cos otherwise it feels like "OMG any electronics could fail at any moment and there is nothing we can do"
Who would ever expect a platform to be consistent in their enforcement of arbitrary rules?
There is no such thing as politics without political parties.

The whole idea doesn’t make sense. There are massive benefits to pooling resources with like minded political actors who will then vote as a bloc once elected, in almost every political system. At least every political system that currently exists in the world outside of maybe North Korea.
Having (patiently) plotted my 1st Mandelbrot in the early 80s (Z80 assembler), I really appreciated this post.
At the start of this year, I was in Cuba. While in Cuba, I opened my bank app to check my balance. Just that, not to make any transactions.

I am a EU citizen. I only have EU bank accounts. The app I used was of a EU bank. There are no EU sanctions against Cuba at this time or at the time I was there. I also have no relation to the USA, I was never there or have business there.

A few days after opening my bank app ( again, read only, no transaction ) I received a threatening email from my EU bank saying I might be in violation of sanctions and it is prohibited to use the bank in a list of jurisdictions ( basically the ones mentioned in the post minus the last thee ) and the bank reserves the right to terminate my account.

As you can imagine, this was very concerning. Fortunately nothing came of it.

But still, I find it ridiculous the bank threatened to close my account just for being in a country that, at least for the jurisdictions that concern me, is a normal country.

I have no doubt this was an automated message. The only thing that prevented my bank account from being terminated was the suspicious activity flag triggered the email handler and not the delete account handler.

I find this to be utterly dystopian.

The specific prohibitions vary by sanctions program, but there are some that prohibit companies from providing “services” and the answer as to whether that includes SaaS is right there in the name.

Companies are required to do due diligence to determine that they aren’t engaged in activities that are sanctioned. GeoIP is less than 100% accurate… but so is comparing first and last names. Unreliable data is not something inherently unique to the internet.

Interestingly, the original bitcoin white-paper had a motivating example that basically amounted to side-stepping banks, because banks do not provide fully non-reversible transactions. In essence, bitcoin was a technological solution to a problem which would have been solved more elegantly by changing financial laws, and requiring banks to offer non-reversible transactions. (the problem with that is obviously that it could be used for fraud, but then you get into the whole debate about freedom vs protection)

I remember having to use BlueJ at University... I found that it makes programming so much harder. New window for every file, no ctrl+click following references, no auto-formatter, no easy sidebar tree of files...

Use Keynote with a custom canvas size. You can do literally anything in Keynote.

https://vimeo.com/100377108

To repost their comment:

“ In my work, there's constant discussion about which is the best and hottest new design tool to use. I’ve tried many of them, but in the end I still keep coming back to Keynote. It’s easy to learn and use, swapping assets is a breeze (using media placeholder), and most complex animations can be tested with Magic Move (the secret sauce to it all). Producing animations can span a range of fidelities; I can produce all the assets in Keynote, or I can copy out of Illustrator or drag and drop from Sketch (how seamless this works puts a smile on my face every time). As an interaction or visual designer, if you’re not using Keynote to test and bring your work to life, then I think you should start now! At least I hope this little experiment inspires you to try.”
That’s a little like asking “do you have a sense of how much a car costs?” It’s a difficult question to answer without more detail.

Hive Tables and What’s Next for Modern Data Platforms
One of the worst "ossifications" of non-standards is the notion that colour is three channels of 0..255, one each for red, green, and blue. Combined with the incorrect assumption that the scale is linear[1], and you have a perfect combination for a Dunning-Kruger effect: A bunch of programmers[2] who think they've figured out "graphics", but haven't even begun to understand how any of it works. Not any of: light, display technology, colour standards, or even the human eye.

A short list of falsehoods programmers believe about vision:

- sRGB is the only graphics standard.

- Monitors are actually sRGB and follow that standard.

- Colour intensities are on a linear scale.

- White is 0x00FFFFFF or 255,255,255

- 50% Grey is half of the above: 127,127,127.

- Blending colours is just a matter of linear interpolation.

- Red, green, and blue have a single consistent definition.

- 8 bits is enough for each colour channel.

- Okay, 10 bits is enough.

- 12 bits is enough, surely.

- 0 means black.

- Okay, 16 means black on televisions.

- Fine, black can have different levels in different standards, but it's always clear which level is black.

- At least the white level is consistently defined.

[1] Narrator: it's not even remotely linear.

In the US, a surgeon would, but a “chartered” accountant or lawyer would have higher probabilities of not having as high of a pay to quality of life ratio.

Oh hell no. Adobe is where software goes to die. Which is big shame because Figma has been great, and had serious potential to turn into the first WYSIWYG tool that would actually generate code you'd want to use. But Macromedia software was also great, and now it's mostly non-existent. I'd love for this to turn out different, but I have very low expectations.
As a long time Figma champion, this breaks my heart. Every time I am forced to go back to an Adobe product I find it worse off than I left it. I worry that I will no longer see rapid updates and features that benefit me as a user and not the grater "cloud ecosystem".
Oh no...Well, I guess it was good while it lasted!
> Java as a first language pushed on new CS students has caused untold damage to the industry.

I'd argue that the true Dark Times™ were the days before Java.
Forcing students to write Scheme or C as intro languages was far worse.

These days, I'd say something like Python to get the basic concepts down and then moving on to things like Rust or Go then Java, C++, or C# are probably better moves.
And here I was thinking of switching to figma after getting frustrated with adobe, sigh...
I wonder how long before Figma and XD become one product then?
