Mobile friendly:

> It should be noted that our dipping scheme assumes that the object has no vertical _caps_ in any orientation. A cap is a vertical cavity that forms a vessel, in which water can be accumulated if the object is elevated vertically and air can be trapped, generating air pockets when the object is dipped in the opposite orientation. Most caps, if they exist, would be small and would have a minor effect akin to noise on the dip transform. Nevertheless, caps can be detected by dipping and then lifting back the object with the liquid trapped in the cap, yielding two different water levels. Flipping the object vertically allows detecting air pockets as they become caps.

Thanks, I forget that quoted text is horrible on HN on mobile.

You're not quoting text, you're formatting it as code. Just put "> " instead of indenting.

aren't there some pretty basic CSS rules to even make the formatted code look better on a narrow screen mobile? something like `white-space: pre-wrap`, IIRC?

maybe I should look into how to add custom CSS rules to a particular site (HN), can you do that native in firefox, or does it need a plugin?
