The quote actually originated with Rutherford and was later repeated in another form by Einstein, feynman adopted it as a technique.

Rutherford said "it should be possible to explain the laws of physics to a barmaid."

Einstein said, while referencing Rutherford in a conversation with de Broglie in france: "that all physical theories, their mathematical expressions apart ought to lend themselves to so simple a description that even a child could understand them."

So Einstein coined the phrase and idea in reference to a child.

The Feynman technique was explicitly inspired by Einstein and is a 4 step technique:

1) Pick the subject of interest
2) explain the concept as if to a 6th grader
3) Identify the holes in your understanding
4) Study the parts you couldnt explain simply

While the Feynman technique is based off observations in Feynmans study habits he never taught the technique formally nor did he define it.

World War I German military bicycle brought from Germany in Tanganyika, present day Tanzania, which was used by German's soldiers to engage British's soldiers in Kenya.

German machine still intact, I need something like this today.

In a life of no smartphones, no alarms, no notifications, no reminders, no forced schedules but only letters, emails and regular phone calls - there, that's where i see myself five years from now.

End the madness.

Recently, there has been misinformation about #Mozilla's browser #Firefox claiming that a new feature called #FirefoxSuggest would send any address bar inputs to advertising companies by default.

This is not true.

In reality, all sponsored suggestions are given offline by default, meaning that no additional user data is sent anywhere. Online suggestions are strictly opt-in.

Please do not spread false information.

There have been many reports lately that Facebook is blocking links to https://joinmastodon.org

If you are still on Facebook, please keep spreading the word about Mastodon and the Fediverse.

If https://joinmastodon.org doesn't work, try posting a link to a reliable instance people can join. There are so many instances, Facebook cannot block all of them from being mentioned.

That Facebook are even doing this implies the Fediverse is on their radar, which is quite an achievement in itself!
