Did you buy an AirGradient monitor or any brand you recommend that is not DIY?

Thanks! Yeah, I definitely think immersion listening can really help and I've used it a bit (subs2srs and audio books), but sometimes it can be used as a crutch to avoid speaking. Your app looks really cool and love that you incorporat

I would kindly disagree and say that it's better to learn the pronunciation rules and practice producing them. There is a lot of research around learning that production and testing are better for learning (and also why is easier to

Out of curiosity, do you mean words that are technical or specific to a field? Or more general words such as 'didactic'?

Any recommendations for where to purchase these vintage watches? I've always thought they were beautiful but never sure where to find legitimate sellers (despite googling a bit)

Pre-print for that paper was published 7 months ago and the sample collection date was from April-May 2020. Obviously there have been huge spikes in cases across the world since May 2020 with majority of infections occurring after that time

There have been a bunch of studies that have come out, with a range of quality in case selection methodology eg. biased sampling, so its still early days. I've seen estimates ranging from 2% - 33% for effects up to 7 months after infec

I think this article is a bit more nuanced based on what they are seeing on the ground. Derek brings up good points about background rates, but papers over some things. It's a complex picture and the below article paints it well. Also

Lots of different problems that are complex! For example: + Text internationalization system + Payment processing + User auth + User verification + A/B testing system + User metrics collection from UI + offline storage of said metrics

How is it a logical fallacy to check the opinions of both political parties? The parent asked: > "Am I in a media bubble?" Usually helps to check what both sides of the partisan isle are saying to avoid a bubble.

Well that is the cleverness of most trump statements, toe the line, give a nod to your side, but also retain deniability. If you don't start interpreting, you get into a trap in which you will be outfoxed by anyone who can toe lines en

Maybe check what the Republicans are saying, for example Bill Barr said: >“Orchestrating a mob to pressure Congress is inexcusable. The president’s conduct yesterday was a betrayal of his office and supporters.” https://twitte

I think the point is that after his supporters broke the law and stormed the capitol, interrupting a constitutionally mandated process for the peaceful transfer of power, he told them: > "Remember this day forever!" Thus approv

I think we do have those organizations with trust. If you want facts only news, go to apnews or reuters. They are the mastheads of impartiality, or at least as much as possible with humans. However, the NYT is what I consider as investigati

First, I think you misunderstand poll margins of error. For example, the NYT poll is +-4 for each candidate. Meaning it could swing a total of 8 points. That isn't anything new. "In a new paper with Andrew Gelman and Houshmand Shi

There was an interesting chart from the economist today about that, which showed a strong correlation. The denser the area the more democratic. https://twitter.com/gelliottmorris/status/132625098113116979...
