  • Anki. End of discussion. If you don't know what Anki is, it's a flashcard app that automatically schedules cards for you based on how hard or easy you say the cards are. So if you tell Anki a card is easy, it might, say, schedule the next review for 30 days later, whereas if you say it's hard, it might schedule the next review for 2 days later. Anki:

    • Is free and open source
    • Has a huge community, and with it, tons of plugins, premade flashcard decks, tutorials, and integration with other programs
    • Just has tons of features and customizability in general.
    • Just recently got a new scheduling algorithm called FSRS, which is scientifically proven to be one of the most accurate flashcard scheduling algorithms in the world at predicting when you're on the verge of forgetting a card (but make sure you enable it in the settings)
    • Has synchronization between mobile and PC

    Anki can be a bit intimidating, as there's a bit of a learning curve to using the app in the first place, but I promise you that all the other options like Quizlet or whatever aren't even close to as good as Anki.

  • My understanding of it:

    Surplus value = value workers produce in excess of what they need to live. So if I work 8 hours but only needed to work 3 in order to maintain my current standard of living, my surplus value is 5 hours of labor-time.

    Profit = the net earnings of the capitalist through the act of production. The capitalist earns the surplus value produced by workers through exploitation, of course, but not only do they have to pay the workers' wages, they also have to pay for constant capital, which is machinery, equipment, and other things needed for production besides labor.

    So profit = surplus value generated - the cost of constant capital.
