2020/10/05 | 583 | 2,463 | <issue_start>username_0: For some research software I have written, I needed some atomic data from NIST. I wanted to put that software onto GitHub (MIT license) but I am not sure if I am allowed to simply also upload the NIST dataset which I need.

2020/10/05 | 912 | 3,942 | <issue_start>username_0: The mainstream academic publishing model assumes that authors are somehow paid by third parties (typically universities or industry) for the time spent on research. With increasing casualisation of the academic workforce (particularly in the humanities) this is arguably less appropriate than it... |
2020/10/06 | 1,214 | 5,250 | <issue_start>username_0: It is common that students may experience monotony if the instructor continuously teaches. And there are many ways to grab attention.
I am particularly interested in knowing whether it is a proper step from the instructor side to moderate short debates (5 mins, 10 mins, etc.,), especially on (... |
2020/10/06 | 2,041 | 8,434 | <issue_start>username_0: If a professor is teaching a course with a significant number of students.

2020/10/06 | 941 | 4,159 | <issue_start>username_0: Judging by posts and comments by graduate students in math.stackexchange.com and mathoverflow.net, I have come to the conclusion that a large part of their knowledge comes from SE sites and the Wikipedia, as opposed to traditional publications such as books and papers.
I was deeply shocked the... |
2020/10/06 | 316 | 1,337 | <issue_start>username_0: Freshers sometimes speak almost inaudibly, even after asking them to speak loudly. Now, with facemasks, it's even worse, I am not allowed to approach them too much, and it demands a lot of energy to be able to hear them sometimes.

2020/10/09 | 684 | 2,762 | <issue_start>username_0: I am applying to some PhD programs this year. If I just ask my advisors to choose the school for me, they might think I am lazy and have done no research. However if I do that on my own, I am afraid that maybe the advisors think I am arrogant for aiming for schools out of my reach. The problem ... |
2020/10/09 | 2,993 | 13,179 | <issue_start>username_0: In commercial companies you will mostly only have a handful people per manager.
