I have such an app. It's called RoboBlocker. I used to use a different app called RoboKiller, but recently switched. Both work basically the same way. They automatically block known spammers/scammers and screen the rest.

No it's not. China doesn't have any civil/constitutional rights in the USA.

Kagi lets me raise and lower sites or even block sites, so I get results more relevant to me. If I see a site that is not useful (hello Quora) I can block them. If I see something I like, I can raise it.

Of course the study ( https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03768... ) is behind a paywall. From what is in the abstract, it looks like all participants used all of the combinations except

I just recently switched to Kagi. It's worth paying a few bucks to get decent results.

Arithmetic doesn't require any sort of critical thinking at all, so the point is moot. Advanced maths do, but those aren't usually taught in K-12; however, not getting those critical thinking skills young can make it more difficul

Being able to pass a standardized test on a basic subject isn't the same thing as being able to think critically.

Some parents may do homeschooling well, but most don't. Most use homeschooling as a way to isolate their kids from outside world views and prevent them from questioning what the parents believe. It's a way to indoctrinate kids int

Speaking from the perspective of a person who is very into VR. There are a lot of things that have gone wrong. First, Facebook/Meta pushing hard with low-end hardware that caused the existing VR gaming to take leaps backward. PCVR was

There is, but it is kind of crappy. It's crossplay, but not in a meaningful way. You can't create a room and share a room code. The best you can do is invite a friend, but only if they are on the same platform. They've never

That's how it was sold to us. Literally, the recruiter's exact words were "we don't succeed unless you succeed." In reality, they just kept taking in more and more students. When you have your students doing peer re

We were constantly sold this idea "we don't succeed unless you succeed." It eventually became clear that they had no commitment to individual success at all. They went from having 8-10 people in a cohort to have 30+ people, a

I'll have to look into it more now. I had contacted a non-profit that represents defrauded students, but they had stopped pursuing it after a judge threw out their case.

I attended Lambda when it was first starting out. I think I was in the third or fourth cohort. At the time, the sell was that you didn't have to pay anything unless you got a job using the skills you learned from them. I was pretty naï

I don't know if this is related, but growing up there were certain values instilled in me that went something like "don't toot your own horn," "it's better to be seen and not heard," "keep your head d

I noticed that the no adverse group had very few people who said they were happy most of the time. I think this could come down to the weight of debt and maintaining a "stable" lifestyle. The more adverse effect group is probably

I feel like this is backwards? When you reach your heroine limit, you die. It's pretty final. And, most people don't have unlimited money with which to gamble.

RNs and MDs might be paid well, but the frontline staff often is not. Medical assistants, nursing assistants, paramedics, pharmacy technicians, etc. They often have low wages and no benefits.

My study method was to try to think of questions that might be on a test from the material as I was reading it. I'd write up the questions as I went along and then write up the answers and study the answers. It worked great until someo

I don't think the issue is that people aren't willing to pay for it. The problem is, there aren't currently good options for paying for it. If I go to a news site and it is paywalled, I just leave. I am not going to subscribe

Ehh... I suspect that the cleaner air is more a correlation than a causation. It seems like fewer accidents due to fewer drivers would be a more direct cause. The cleaner air is just a side effect. I didn't see any mention of accident
