Someone explain to me like I am 2 - what’s the Altitude factor in F1?

Three key factors:

1) The air is less dense so aerodynamics are less impactful, both downforce and drag.

2) Lower air density also means engine cooling is less efficient so there’s higher risks of engine failure for teams with poorly cooled engines.

3) Less oxygen available also means engines produce slightly less power. This is the smallest factor of the three, but is still in the mix.

Good answer. OP, the order is inverted for passenger cars at altitude.

Taxpayers are abused the most in this country across the globe. It’s frustrating to see that only 1.5% of Indian population pay direct income tax, still govt. is milking them like anything and unable to do anything for these taxpayers. I’m paying 1 lakh tax every month, and what’s my return, 🔔🔔🔔,

If a tax payer loses his job , govt. is not even paying even few thousands for unemployment allowance, who have been paying lacs to government as tax. What’s your thoughts on Indian taxation?

Negotiation in new offer: I’m moving from fully remote to fully in office (with chance of hybrid later) offer for associate director in quality in pharma for 170k base, 18% bonus and 75k equity.

And also any updates on when it will be communicated??

Hi guys, I got an offer from x and i discussed that with my current. At 1st current said they can only give 30% increment. I said I can't stay with this cause i got 70% and expect at least 50%(as the 70% included VP and the current org don't have vp, they have bonus). Then they said they can do max 45%. I really wanted to stay here so I said okay to current. Then now hr called me and said they are matching the offer(no vp). What should I make out of it? What made them change their mind?
