Tbh, if there was demand for it we'd probably have them already. I'm afraid the most demand would come from those engineers who create the apps that glue everyone to their glowy screens, and from the sort of parents who have a zer

In grad school it seems obvious what you want to retain, after that it can become a bit trickier to make the choice. General question for everyone using this approach: how do you go about selecting topics to put into your SR schedule? I mea

Awesome idea! Only half-joking: something like the HN ranking algorithm could be great for that, maybe you can reach out to them if they can help (you might even try applying for YC). Some feedback: I think the division by disciplines needs

Thanks. The UX feels really polished, that makes sense if you're a seasoned professional. One thing, just curious: did you look intwo whether your privacy notice is GDPR-compliant? Sounds more like frank talk than legalese, haha

My bets are that this arrangement would almost certainly be considered tax dodging if the Dutch authorities ever find out (and he didn't pay taxes there). I'm not a tax lawyer, much less a Dutch one, but I looked into similar thin

It's about the mindset, I called it similar to how we talk about the burden of proof in criminal law. The burden should be with producers to defend their products' safety, and in doubt we should err on the side of caution.
