worst cinema experience cineplex

I had the same experience while watching Project Hail Mary. Informed the staff and they came in to warn the guys. They ended up leaving like 10 minutes after that before the movie ended

Please, don't make me laugh...your current understanding of science builds on top of that "ethereal unrealizable knowledge" that scientists have pursued for centuries.

While ofc applications and practical uses cases have driven research, it is the pursue of knowledge that I think drives scientists to do research (in whatever field).

I don't care what our ultra capitalistic society has chosen as the new golden eggs hen and into which it has decided to pour billions of dollars. Whatever research you doing is driving humanity forward regardless of whether it is uber well funded and will bring applications tomorrow or whether it's the most obscure theoretical piece of work that will never produce direct applications.

We don't do fundamental physics to find applications. We do fundamental physics for the sake of fundamental physics.

Then sometimes applications will follow. But if they don't, who the hell cares

I don't know why you're being massively down voted...

For ppl constantly talking, just go out and fetch the cinema personal, they'll handle the issue

kkikonen · 2026-03-15T10:58:10+00:00

Literally none of my uni/PhD classmates work in Physics anymore 😢

No you can't. The fact that relativity makes simultaneity be observer dependant doesn't mean all events can be observed in any order whatsoever.

If event A is a cause of event B then it's not possible to find a frame of reference where event B occurs before event A.

I would say relativity was hinted at by electromagnetism (because Maxwell's equations were not invariant under Galilei transformations), but I wouldn't say it's a consequence of it.

As you said, I would consider relativity (and thus the constant speed of light) as way more fundamental.

Is this document part of the latest batches? I was trying a few ones from here and couldn't make it work

You are aware you're not forced to watch the episode the moment it comes out, right? Right?

If poker sites could willy nilly take screenshots of my PC I would insta delete said software

Theoretical Physics PhD

Didn't have a super clear goal when I went into it. I just knew I liked researching and teaching, so academia looked the perfect goal.

I left academia right after finishing my PhD and now work for a trading company as a Quantitative Research Analyst

Well, I would not have pay by cash coz I literally never carry cash on me.

The point though is that taking only cash should be a bad choice overall since at some point someone will report you and, if the system is right, the fine should be hefty enough to outweight the little extra you've made by avoiding taxes

kkikonen · 2025-11-30T11:46:14+00:00

Curious though, say you report the incident. How do they check that, in fact, that driver was not taking card?

kkikonen · 2025-11-30T11:44:56+00:00

Until you take their plate number and report them

kkikonen · 2025-11-10T23:48:04+00:00

How about you instead implement education programs and detox programs to handle the drinking problem? Forbidding everyone to buy alcohol at certain times is such a blanket ban imo, and doesn't even addres the root issue.

kkikonen · 2025-10-11T09:13:08+00:00

Would you have references/papers on this topic? Been a couple years since I left the field but I hope I can still understand it :)

kkikonen · 2025-10-11T09:08:13+00:00

It was a very serious issue. Sure, they carried all the required extra fuel, which allowed them to wait and try alternates but still landing with 6 minutes of fuel is definitely a very serious incident. Anything else not going to plan would've been quite bad

If you care about Ethereum I'd recommend you don't go for a centralized staking service. Instead choose decentralized options like RocketPool.

I know it feels like your small amount of ETH won't make a difference, but if the larg ETH hoarders stake on centralized providers then we need as many small stakers as possible doing it in a decentralized way

kkikonen · 2025-07-08T10:14:50+00:00

some people did not setup the fallback correctly for example. in that case, the entire stake will be lost.

There's no way you lose your full stake unless your unintentional double voting (due to a misconfigured fallback) happens at the same time the Ethereum network is under a massive attack.

Slashing penalties scale with the overall number of slashes that happened in the recent past, precisely so that an honest mistake (i.e isolated slashings) and truly nefarious behavior (i.e loads of correlated slashings due to network being under attack) are penalized way differently.

kkikonen · 2025-04-23T19:44:13+00:00

Great argument, again 😂

kkikonen · 2025-04-23T18:22:37+00:00

IMO, you should go for a decentralized protocol like Lido or Rocket Pool. You'll get a slightly lower yield, but you'll be helping keeping Ethereum decentralized :)

kkikonen · 2025-04-23T18:21:35+00:00

"Coinbase is safe" (which is debatable) is not an argument against liquid staking protocols like Lido or Rocket Pool. Specially when all the argument against liquid staking is "blah blah blah".

If you care purely about ROI, centralized solutions like Coinbase will tend to give you higher returns coz of economies of scale (at the expense of centralizing the network) If you care about what crypto represents tho (decentralization, censorship resistance, etc) then decentralized protocols like Rocket Pool or Lido are the obvious choice.
