That's not really the case. It's simply a really hard problem and that's easiest to address early on (recycle somewhat right) than to try and filter useful things out of shredded sludge.

It is well in the commission's responsibilities to ensure countries don't help companies avoid taxes on other countries, that is a natural element of free trade deals.

Essentially the commission points out how governments favour big corporations when it suits them, eg to claim "i brought jobs".

You can start by reading the sources in other comments here. This is a ruling about a deal between Apple and Ireland and how it is structured to minimise tax and avoid tax in other countries. The Commission, in simple terms, makes sure that

It's an arms race though. You'll never know when they start to block the VPN you're using. And then the one after that and then your internet access.

exactly. it's all about association and the connecting and strengthening of neural pathways.

The issue with the methods is that you have to use them actively. As the author's mentor says in the book: most of the memory champions have horrible memory in normal situations, they were just desperate to change that, so they pursued

What also helps is to try to actively recall the context in which an item was learned: What's her name? Oh, i met her at a party. It was at Steve's place. She was holding a glass, possibly with water. She was with someone, i think

There's a very convincing and well researched book on this issue: Spark! How exercise will improve the performance of your brain. The gist: aerobic exercise helps neurogenesis and connectivity in the brain. Running is best if i remembe

If i may ask: how do you feel supermemo aided you? How regularly/much do you use it? What items do you store and what card models have you come to prefer (cloze, q-a, ...?) How has this impacted your life? I have seen some kind of supe

what is connected sticks. you remember one thing because it connects to something else you know and you forget another as it's not connected. or much more likely: it is actually in your memory (ie neutral pathways that 'represen

Very interesting thoughts and my experience is very much the same! One question: do you still remember the chemical path today (vs other similar items)? My experience with loci is very positive but i agree it's time intensive. From wha

Fascinating thanks, this is a new term for me but strikes a chord. It also fits nicely with the limited understanding we have of the recall of information in our brains - it all comes down to context and activating the right network (or pat

> My main problem with spaced repetition programs like Anki is getting the motivation to stick with them long-term. This also dovetails in with my problems with procrastination. I've never seen a good solution. Most of the proposed

It is taken up, just not everywhere and not necessarily at scale. I've personally seen it used eg at Finnish schools - but there the teacher chooses the tool, not the government, so i don't know how common it is. With more and mor

Cramming might actually be the most time-effective strategy for a short recall period (one off exam). But naturally not if the aim is long term recall.

Ymmv but when building a deck creating mnemonics for each item was really important for me. Made it a lot slower to enter data but much more fun and much more effective in later use.

by summarite 10y ago
Anki has various shared decks to download that have things like name, place on map, flag, etc

by summarite 10y ago
I found it really motivating to see the message that a card will appear again in 4 or 7 years! But i never got beyond a year of actually using a deck...

by summarite 10y ago
Can you expand a bit on the coordinate terms issue? My impression would be that comes rather from the encoding rather than recall?

There is an amazing slightly older longform article on the creator of supermemo (the original spaced repetition software, although the concept of course comes from a German psychology pioneer of a few centuries ago (Helmholtz i think?)). Th

Fascinating, how come I never heard of your site? Is it fairly young? It looks interesting and a big selection of languages (I'm looking at Arabic). But i just wanted to comment to mention that i like the pricing model - it seems small

It would be pretty sad if the web really can't provide a working business model for quality news. I prefer ads rather than high-cost paywalls, and then ideally a "use as-free" option for a small sum (think android apps). I wa

And you can be sure they pay a hefty sum for up-to-date anti-blocking software.

by summarite 10y ago
This would probably result in less relevant ads and more power of ad providers, ie less neutral reporting. Think about how some companies or political parties 'punish' critical media by pulling ads and advertising with the competi

Interestingly you accuse the other side of being unreasonable when you are the one confusing reason and ideology. Good ads are not bothersome or harming you in a significant way. I prefer to see some ads rather than see sites that i benefit
