What does it take to tune an audio recording of one's own voice and match it to the way we hear ourselves?
Personally I don't know of any specific research but afaik the reason why our voices sound terrible to us when recorded is because they're missing the bass that's transmitted through the skull, i.e. they sound higher pitched on recording. So I'd try increasing the amplitude of the lower frequencies on the EQ, it'll take a bit of fiddling to get the right balance.

I always find it amazing when you hear these insights into the downfall of once huge companies. It's incredible how terrible some people's judgement can be and a lot of these successful people are riding on luck rather than intelligence it seems

It's the Daily Mail, it's most likely total fiction as they do this all the time.

Ahhhh yes I think you're right - pretty sure Cell is another high impact journal so yeah, by publishing in Nat Cell Sci it's as if you're publishing in three higher impact ones at once

It'll be paraphrased from something a Tory said and I suspect the quotes cover the "paper" from libel since they can then claim it was opinion rather than fact

Thanks, you've saved me a potentially harrowing deep dive - do not want to see any Reagan-related rule 34 stuff

I had a Lumia with Win Phone (I forget the exact model & sw version) and thought it was great - it was super fast, lightweight and the battery life was decent but there weren't many apps out there, at least not in comparison to Android

BBC apologises after Robert Jenrick accused of xenophobia
Absolutely pathetic that they apologised. People like Jenrick need to be called out when they come out with disgusting nonsense like this.

Aw that's a shame and sorry for messing up, saw it and thought it'd be worth sharing here because it tickled me. What does it actually say?

China is hoarding the world's gold

I think the fact that it's very chemically stable is likely a factor as well so it can be stored for effectively an infinite amount of time & it won't degrade/react, it'll still be gold.
