You could make the same argument about Couchsurfing.

But actually, on Airbnb you can't see the review of the other person before both have submitted their review. That ensures that neither party retaliates.

I wouldn't call it "pretty useless". I think it has two distinct places in a language learning process.

1) They make learning a new language very accessible and fun to get started. Books and courses do not have such a low level of entry. 2) It's good for learning new words in a context. Memrise for example often just gives you a single word and translation. But I think it's much more effective to then put words into sentences.

That said, if you really want to learn a language past the "I can manage for a few days as a tourist" you need to add other methods to it. Read books, listen to audio content, watch TV, have lessons (speak the language!), study grammar etc.

Then not everybody is alike. So try different methods. See what works for you. Some might have more success with Duolingo, some will have less.

Thanks! Did that work for you from the beginning or was the learning curve bloody?

I still have many Derby blades and the safety razor from my non-beared times. Might give it another shot.

I have been using a safety razor for shaving my face for a few years, now I just have a beard and don't shave anymore apart from shaping the beard.

But I do have to shave my head and I just can't figure out how to use a safety razor or straight razor for that. I keep cutting myself. The margins seems to be quite narrow and boy does your head bleed if you cut it...so I am stuck with cartridge razors which actually works really well. Just means spending more money and dealing with clogging.

Now I want a making-of video by the creator of the Sudoku.

My thoughts exactly when I saw that bullet point.

If I remember correctly they had implemented gait recognition in the school because facial recognition was not allowed, not because it was better.

I agree. And definitely do not call me if I contacted you via email.

Thanks a lot!

Any word for when the RC will be "properly" released?

Would have been curious to see a price comparison between the build and a Mac Pro with the same specs.

I've never thought about it but it makes a lot of sense. Just thinking about the few times I had to write some hacky code to get something to work and given the complexity of video games it is kind of expected.

GitBook. In this case it uses an R package to render it.

"An Abundance of Kathrines" (title image) was a pretty cool book.

Loved the book!
