malfmalfon Grindr Won't Let Users Say 'No Zionists'

An error message appears saying "The following are not allowed: no zionist, no zionists" when users try to add the phrase to their bios, but any number of other phrases about political and religious preferences are allowed.

malfmalfon Albert Einstein's theory of relativity in words of four letters or less (1999)

There was a talk at a university, where the presenter used only words of two or less SYLABLES , but he allowed himself to use more complicated words after explaining them (but kept that to a minimum).

I can't find either the author or the talk. I think it was some 5 years ago.

At first, I thought it was Randall Munroe, but I might be remembering this: https://xkcd.com/thing-explainer/

I've also tried with Paul Graham, who has some articles trying to convey something similar, but no luck there.

Edited to add : I think the original proponent of a similar idea was Richard Feynman : https://www.hpcdan.org/reeds_ruminations/2022/03/understandi...

495 BC. And his Theorem is still good enough for most practical purposes, so his point stands

The curve that is used is a Clothoid:

Usually for any curve you go straight-clothoid-arc-clothoid-straight

For trajectory AND for pitch and roll

malfmalfon Ask HN: Any hardware startups here?

I've read the whole thread , I've looked at your product.

It looks good , the materials seem fine , but have nobody heard about ISOFix? At least in europe is standard in new cars.

The last baby seat that I used , manufactured by MassiCossi , had a better base than yours, with an adjustable aluminium leg and ISOFix links that kept it sturdly attached to the seat frame.

It was not cheap too, around 500 euro I think.

It was also removable with the press of a button , from the base and from the trolley

Edit: I missed a comment referencing it, then it seems strange to me that a seat sold as somewhat of a luxury item doesn'support that

malfmalfon My comments on BasedCon

Sorry, was trying to use an US "definition", I might have failed at that.

In Europe everyone who needs to state that things so seriously is usually a fascist nutjob. Not that you can not hold some of that views (well the guns one is definitely US-centric) , I myself may be not so far from some of them (as they are stated, which seems like a trap) but if you need to make them the issues to die on a hill for... yes you are really, really leaning fascist.

REAL political issues and REAL politics discussion

If you want to discuss future dystopian alien governments or the racism against the Norbutis of Gahndlon , go ahead

It's not like they are trying to hide their agenda.

Of course politics should be out of the scope of a SciFi Con, any Con.

But hosting your own "Super-Alt-Right-Con" doesn't seems like an adecuate response, and going to such a conference seems naive for someone that wants to stay "out of politics"

malfmalfon An Experience with Modafinil

Maybe this is the study? First result in google for "cocaine caffeine comparison"

they seem to imply something similar what you are stating

this one found no such effect on rats:

and most of the articles I found say that caffeine INCREASES the effect of caffeine
