Another option is to plug in AR/VR glasses, which solves the head tilting problem in trains. There are plenty of options around ~500 EUR/USD nowadays, which might be worth it for p…

Did you look at the squadrats app? It’s compatible with strava also. It sounds quite similar to what you describe.

From what I heard, it’s because Springer et al. hired editors in India to cut costs…

I'm a doctoral student working in the direction of PDE's and function spaces. I have some colleagues that are using wavelets for numerics. They typically prove that certain wavelet…

Reminds me of 'turtles all the way down', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtles_all_the_way_down

What kind of documents are you typing that you wouldn’t want to learn from your mistakes? If you apply more than a handful of “fixes” at once, you cannot see what changed, right? A…

I am experiencing some issues, especially when starting a session. It can help to have all the speakers connected via ethernet cable.

I could see people using this symbol when proving for example that x = 0. Say they first show x \geq 0 and then x \leq 0. Then they've shown x ⪒ 0, and therefore x = 0. But yeah, a…

In academia people study stochastic versions of PDEs in order to try to answer regularity and existence questions. Think for example about the famous millennium problem of Navier-S…

I would argue against the statement that all 'truly high talented people' (whatever that may mean) will leave Europe because the salaries are too low. At least in Academia I know p…

I suppose that this differs at how mathematically mature the student is. For undergrads and high school students it is, as you say, probably a good idea to give a lot of motivation…

I think maybe you mean "don't send your kids to an _American_ school if you can avoid it". Although I have no personal experience with the American school system, I would say that …

I think the point the author tries to make in the section "First An Issue", as you say, is exactly to give an example of bad teaching.

Well, American tech companies are not the only ones using AI/ML for morally questionable activities. Think for example about China's social crediting system. At least it is good th…

Indeed!, that is exactly what I had in mind.

Maybe this can be solved on the browser side of things. I can imagine that a browser could communicate the width of the screen as the width of the window to the webpage, even thoug…
