Abcd

@AvatarShiny I think I have decoded it ;)

Apoorv Potnis

@AvatarShiny Just like Lord Voldemort

Avatar Shiny

16:27

@Abcd aaaaaandddddd

@ApoorvPotnis Dear sir, I do happen to have a nose.

Apoorv Potnis

@AvatarShiny LOL very funny

Gaurang Tandon

@AvatarShiny well if bad guys are after you they'll find you anyway ;)

@AvatarShiny gimma a hint, is it in hindi?

Avatar Shiny

No shit Sherlock

: )

Gaurang Tandon

i bet it's in hindi

but I really can't figure it out

a good anagram it is

oh and if it's not in hindi confirm me, otherwise i'll be fruitlessly deliberating

Avatar Shiny

Hindi definitely

No other clues tho

Gaurang Tandon

16:32

it's definitely "krishna" in the first name

Avatar Shiny

I'll let you know when I see the full name ; )

Rick

Are those spaces delimiting first, middle,last name?

Gaurang Tandon

my surname knowledge is really weak, i deserve some credit for getting the first name right :(

Avatar Shiny

Nothing just letters they don't mean anything and only a first name and surname

Gaurang Tandon

@Abcd share it then! ;)

Abcd

16:36

@GaurangTandon Oh, I thought as Rick did. I thought its "Ravat"

Gaurang Tandon

oh

Abcd

Krishna Ayyavat is a possibility

Gaurang Tandon

woh woh woh

that surname though

never heard it before

Abcd

@GaurangTandon Use a java program.

Gaurang Tandon

that really seems possible though

@Abcd really? :P

Abcd

16:39

@GaurangTandon Yup dude, it would make your task really easy. Just search for krishna and then see all possible things coming with it.

Gaurang Tandon

@Abcd See 7! combinations :-O

=5040

come on

Abcd

@GaurangTandon You are overcounting I guess.

Apoorv Potnis

@AvatarShiny Tell the number of letters of your first name and surname. Reduce it to a combinatorics problem.

Gaurang Tandon

ayyavat has 7 letters

Rick

Rumpelstiltskin?

Gaurang Tandon

16:41

@Rick that came out of thin air

Abcd

@GaurangTandon 2ys, 3 as

so $\dfrac{7!}{2!\times 3!}$

Gaurang Tandon

@Abcd arrrgggghhh!!!!! yaya you're right. still many though

=420

Avatar Shiny

@ApoorvPotnis I have no interest in letting my name out . An you guys will be bored by tomorrow

Abcd

Only 420

Avatar Shiny

@Rick That's it guys

Apoorv Potnis

16:42

As you wish. Your name, your property.

;-)

Abcd

But Ravat is a possibility too, I believe.

Gaurang Tandon

@AvatarShiny well I'll tell you one thing, if you continue to use social media everyday, your real name will be out one day. If not today, then tomorrow. Very soon ;)

Nothing is hidden on the internet. Nothing at all.

Avatar Shiny

Ok

Gaurang Tandon

anyway I'll still think some more time. I'm assuming we can exclude nisha/hina/aasin and other such first names, right @AvatarShiny ?

Avatar Shiny

No more clues

Gaurang Tandon

16:46

alright

@M.A.R. is harsh

M.A.R.

17:18

@JavaScriptCoder I don't know, do you claim to be random as well?

Zhe

Well, I'll tell you that I wouldn't be wasting time with a 9k rep account if I had 49k rep

JavaScriptCoder

much less a 1/2 k account (me)

M.A.R.

@Zhe anything you say can be used against you as evidence in the court of law

@JavaScriptCoder you need to let the belt loose my friend

That's the second time this week

@Mithoron you, my friend, just need to let the belt loose

JavaScriptCoder

Zhe

@M.A.R. I'll take my chances

M.A.R.

@AvatarShiny In what way?

Avatar Shiny

@JavaScriptCoder Near average you say sir

M.A.R.

17:39

@JavaScriptCoder where can I get one of those?

@AvatarShiny iq doesnt determine human characteristics

@M.A.R. one of whats?

M.A.R.

The human brain is too complicated to assign a number to

@JavaScriptCoder IQs. Are they expensive?

LOL only owners can do that

Rick

Lol

@M.A.R. didnt you say "The Human Brain is to complicated to assign a number to?"

M.A.R.

@Rick I'm an RO, Room Owner.

Only us ROs can do stuff like that

JavaScriptCoder

cant you make rooms though?

Lol

But I feel the peer pressure

M.A.R.

17:41

@JavaScriptCoder Sure you can

Avatar Shiny

@M.A.R. 19 year olds must not have that much power

JavaScriptCoder

13 year olds have even less power

M.A.R.

@AvatarShiny HAHAHA "power"

@M.A.R. you sure that you're not 40

Don't pull my leg

I have to construct a new image

@AvatarShiny I do have a kidney problem and white hair but doesn't mean I'm old

It might look like me then

@M.A.R. I feel for you

M.A.R.

@AvatarShiny thanks

It's not that all my hair is white though

I'd look creepy. And anime ish

@M.A.R. you better not be thinking hahahah I tricked a brown Indian dude today hahahha

@M.A.R. turns out to be on the Iranian Guardian Council, basically runs Iran :)

M.A.R.

But I have white hair. It runs in the family. And not a bad thing.

@M.A.R. Noice, diabetes runs in my family though

M.A.R.

@AvatarShiny what would I gain from tricking you? Just check the transcript of a zillion other chats I participate in

JavaScriptCoder

Thankfully no diseases specifically run in my family

Avatar Shiny

@JavaScriptCoder Dear sir , are stereotypes bad ?

M.A.R.

@AvatarShiny Now that's bad. Sorry

@AvatarShiny can you punctuate properly please?

No punctuation is better than bad punctuation

Avatar Shiny

17:48

@JavaScriptCoder Maybe the 140 IQ thing? And taking University classes?

JavaScriptCoder

@AvatarShiny dear sir ., stereotypes are often incorrect !

Zhe

@AvatarShiny That depends on whether you use them to judge people you don't know

M.A.R.

Judging Zhe

But wait. I know Zhe. And his credit card number

JavaScriptCoder

LOL

Avatar Shiny

@Zhe Honestly judging isn't bad , no matter how much you hold back you always judge

Zhe

17:50

@M.A.R. Actually not funny because I just discovered $2k of fraud on my card

@AvatarShiny No, that's actually bad. You will have a snap judgement, but you should hold off acting on that until you can judge the individual on their own merits

M.A.R.

@Zhe sorry

Avatar Shiny

@JavaScriptCoder Sir, they help a lot too.

M.A.R.

Everyone should inform us about all their personal problems in case we make a joke.

Avatar Shiny

@Zhe That is there , Malcolm Gladwell argued that very often snap judgements are very very correct

Stereotyping isn't as bad as people say.

M.A.R.

Emphasis on argued.

Zhe

17:52

@AvatarShiny No, it's a lot worse

M.A.R.

I'm with Zhe on this one

Zhe

We make a very concerted effort at work to avoid unconscious bias when hiring

Avatar Shiny

@Zhe I will judge , but I never act upon that judgement because that's wrong

@Zhe There goes google

Will try at apple

Zhe

@AvatarShiny That's the correct approach

M.A.R.

@AvatarShiny then you will just make an additional emotional burden

I'd rather not have that, thank you

Welcome to our not so humble chat, @Stamimail!

17:54

@M.A.R. What are you if you not feel

JavaScriptCoder

if you do not feel? or if you lack feeling

M.A.R.

@AvatarShiny I feel, but I don't want to unnecessarily have a bad impression about someone.

Doesn't help future communication

Damn prepositions.

@Hipp oh Hipp, you're pingable! Where the hell is chemobot?

I actually have this impression you told me why it's not here, but I wanna be ignorant

And just for the sake of a ping.

Avatar Shiny

@JavaScriptCoder Based upon a stereotype , do you have asian ancestors

Dang it missed the sir

M.A.R.

17:59

Here's something stereotypical: I've grown sensitive about Indians using "sir".

Kindly don't use it. It's often annoying.

Avatar Shiny

Sir , I will give respect sir it is a Hindu principle

M.A.R.

Ugh. Some part of me wants to throw the last two hours' transcript into the trash.

It wasn't as friendly as always.

@AvatarShiny then use "man" or "dude" or something. "Sir" is usually inappropriate because you're not in a formal interview

It is like you're respecting me and I don't want it

@Zhe I think the question is "How did you assume that the rate of the formation of the intermediate is proportional to the concentration of $\ce{[A]}$?"

A: Relation between chemical kinetics and chemical equilibrium

The big issue here is that there is confusion between the observed rate law, which is not the same thing as the actual rate law. For example, there are pseudo zero order reactions, but it is impossible for a reaction to be truly zero order (what is reacting then?). Consider the following conver...

@Zhe Is the equation (1) valid?

M.A.R.

What's the word for "sir" in Hindi @Avatar?

@M.A.R. Sahib?

M.A.R.

I wouldn't mind being called that because simply it's not English and adapts to your culture.

@M.A.R. Sirjee is also used.

But English speaker culture doesn't align.

18:10

@M.A.R. Meh

If you're not getting annoyed then where's the fun?

M.A.R.

Annoyance is fun. Making the second person you're talking to uncomfortable, however.

My gosh. "Dear" is even worse.

Then your 99 percent does not reflect 99 percent of the English speaking internet.

@Rick From my very rudimentary knowledge of diazonium I would like to make a tukka , entirely substitutes ?

Rick

Ok I just found this:

Meerwein arylation

The Meerwein arylation is an organic reaction involving the addition of an aryl diazonium salt (ArN2X) to an electron-poor alkene usually supported by a metal salt. The reaction product is an alkylated arene compound. The reaction is named after Hans Meerwein, one of its inventors who first published it in 1939. An electron-withdrawing group (EWG) on the alkene makes it electron deficient and although the reaction mechanism is unclear, involvement of an aryl radical is presumed after loss of nitrogen in the diazonium salt followed by a free radical addition. In the primary reaction product the...

Is that the correct reaction for the question? @Zhe Meerwein addition

Probably

Not much help on the mechanistic front though

It's a weird looking reaction
