Keep seeing Niko’s alts everywhere, and I will not buy Shades, but I wanna know if they’re good

Flavour taste rating + reason thanks

Billingual speaker of English and Mandarin but I wanna learn Taigi (from south Taiwan), and I'm interested in speaking it with my grandparents and a mentor who's from the last fluent one learning it.

I live abroad and grew up abroad so I'd appreciate any tips (mainly looking for a Taigi Duolingo)

If you're not too aware, it was caused by Chief Executive Carrie Lam's proposed extradition bill that allowed extradition to both Taiwan and Mainland.

During such protests, methods used by police were questioned for alleged police brutality (not really alleged...) and human rights violations

Heard from someone that left/progressive or liberals would be anti-Taiwan and anti-Hong Kong

Wanted to gather thoughts

I'm close to finishing my first paper and want to submit. I'm not sure if I should submit to the conference or journal, both run by the same organization.

I do want to end up in a journal, but I'd love to be at a conference too.

I heard conference papers had a lower bar than journals, so please let me know

BOTH my parents are Accounting Professors, so you can imagine my boredom (joking). It's actually grown on me, as an engineering kid.

I know their research is a huge pain, I wanna know if anyone agrees. I really wanna learn more about accounting, especially research

For background I know basics eg IFRS, Financial Accounting etc and top journals and publishing times, and clawback, SO Act.

Any sort of info would be appreciated

Currently an iPhone owner. I need a Pixel (department lent me one) for Android GNSS (like GPS) data logging capabilities.

I don't play much games, and I use Instagram, Discord LINE Whatsapp etc...

Looking for long term especially battery. I own AirPods amd I use for music a lot, as a musician and listener.

Anyone got any recommendations for which phone next? Appreciated

For those in STEM, are there any programs you recommend for drawing such illustrations? I am looking to create for my new study, but there were too many different suggestions from asking AI.

Any help appreciated

By faulty, I mean it can make errors, which people often don't seem to understand why. I just wanna spread this more, as it's somewhat an important idea.
There are many errors that can happen in GNSS, eg. ionospheric delays or multipath.
Let's say you're standing in an area with a large amount of high-rise buildings and skyscrapers, eg NYC, Tokyo, Hong Kong. Signals come from satellites and can fail due to a multitude of reasons, including

- Multipath (signals travel/bounce off buildings or reflective material causing errors 10-50m)

- NLOS/Non-line-of-sight (where the line between satellites and your device are blocked)

- Ionospheric or tropospheric delays (weather or other atmospheric conditions slow down radio waves), even under dual-frequency/L1-L5 it can be vulnerable

- GDOP (geometric dilution of precision, where triangle calculation is more difficult due to skyscrapers or otherwise)

Hardware Side:

- Cheap antennas

- Receiver noise

Even with new technology eg L1/L5 there can still be errors due to urban canyons or poor antenna placement

I'd recommend more people to look into this, as it really does help you realise that all map apps face this problem. Google Maps I'd say is the best one right now, as they often push new features.
Google is super advanced in this. They have access to 3D Maps and they can deploy ML-based 3DMA GNSS (from what I know), which uses ray tracing.

We NEED to see more of her. She adds such an interesting dynamic to Wesley/Angela. I hope more people agree

Extremely interesting.

Hi, I'm a bilingual person speaking both English and Chinese fluently. Wanted to ask if anyone faces a similar issue

When speaking Chinese to Taiwanese people I'm fine, my accent and pronunciation is all 100%. If I speak to a mainland Chinese my pronunciation suddenly drops and I forget some words.

Happened today, and it was Taiwanese first then I spoke to a mainland 5 secs after

Not a joke, any advice would help thanks

想問一下其他台灣人。我是雙語英文跟國語，會講，寫，讀，聽等。
跟台灣人講國語的時候，我講的很清楚，沒問題，發音標準。但是跟大陸人/內地人講國語的時候就出了問題。

發音就變得很差，會忘記很多詞。

像今天我跟個台灣人講國語就沒什麼問題，但是五秒後跟個中國人講全部所說的問題就出現了

真的不是開玩笑所以如果可以幫助我就很感恩

Hey, is anyone going to IEEE NaviCon? I'm likely unable to go and would love for anyone who's going to inform me

Let me know thanks

Does anyone here have a specialty in 3DMA GNSS? I've dived deep into ones from HK PolyU (ION), but I wanna know if anyone here has done their own field test using 3DMA. I'd love to see to learn more
