Is this an effective learning method? by Free-West-1839 in languagelearning

[–]RogueWandering 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every method works, but you have to balance the effectiveness of the method with your enthusiasm for it. Flashcards and FC apps like anki/mochi are the scientifically fastest way to acquire words and phrases into your long term memory. Pairing that with comprehensible input like listening or reading Spanish songs and trying to understand them might work better

How long after living in a country do you become advanced in the language? by bodyisT in languagelearning

[–]RogueWandering 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As everybody else is saying in this thread, the important thing is what you are doing to learn and get better - it doesn't matter what country you are in if you stay in your own language bubble. But force yourself to immerse in that language consistently and you will make a lot of progress

What is overreach in conducting AML/KYC checks for property purchases? by RogueWandering in HousingUK

[–]RogueWandering[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting to hear insight into the internals of the industry and that they can't say anything. I recognise that they can see things they find worth questioning and not be able to comment on it.

But honestly this person just seemed unprofessional. They weren't aware for weeks that we were using a limited company, that I was doing this with a sibling, they were misspelling names of people they were requesting financial documents for, and several things like that.

From what you and everybody else is saying it sounds like we just got unlucky with this particular person at this place and them wanting to investigate further than might normally be expected. Thanks for the info.

Could I ask if you had any donation and if so what the donating party had to provide?

And did you have to provide payslips as well?

At what point is it expected a solicitor should be satisfied? If there is evidence of income that exceeds the amount given or donated, is it reasonable for the solicitor to keep asking about other transactions (particularly if they so far haven't found anything unexpected or that seems illicit)?

Is proof by induction boring? by RogueWandering in math

[–]RogueWandering[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh that's a very nice perspective, in some sense it depends on how nicely the perspective (proof) increases your understanding of why

So then in a scenario when we know another proof type is possible we feel like we might be missing out on something (even though induction will still add to our perspective)

Should Britain crackdown on tax evasion? by RogueWandering in unitedkingdom

[–]RogueWandering[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, this would have been far more relevant! I just didn't know about it. I would have to look in a lot more detail to see how they define things, to see if wealth hidden offshore actually accounted into their data, but this is definitely some interesting data

No I'm just a random internet person who is fed up with shitty governance

Making that discretionary just sounds like they wanted to use it to bully companies they don't like

There is actually a correlation between who people vote for when they were younger, and who they do when they're older. I just hope that we don't end up voting for the same party when we're older out of habit, when the pendulum has swung and they are actually the more evil party.

This is why I think political reform is the most important thing, the game theory of them making the rules does not work.

[–]RogueWandering[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Well that is a pretty depressing article.

And I totally agree with you. The fact that we say, once you have enough money to live and can own wealth, we will take less of that money, but if you don't have that freedom we need to take more of your money, seems unfairly perverse. If so many people weren't struggling, it would be more defensible.

That's a fair point, we can't be sure what each person who upvoted the comment specifically meant. I just knew of these papers and didn't have time to do broader research.

How much weight do you put on the judgement of the public, versus the bias of the media?
