This actually happened to me after connecting to wi-fi but there is a workaround that I found: Convert your book to .azw3 in Calibre Instead of sending it to the device in Calibre,…

Could you elaborate on Canada's approach? Are you referring to adjustable rate mortgages?

I'm guessing the GP means that there will hopefully be an increased interest for alternatives to planes that one can take when there are air travel crises like this.

The article uses "new field" as a relative term -- a field that the researcher is not an expert in. > A question [BD14] had to address in this connection is: what constitutes a bra…

I also suffered from this issue for a while but then discovered "Unhook" browser extension, which in addition to many other amazing features (e.g. hide recommended videos/comments)…

There is an official browser extension from Amazon for this[0] that allows you to send any web page from browser to your Kindle in 2 clicks. [0] - https://www.amazon.com/sendtokind…

That’s great idea but might be much more difficult in practice than a common Slavic language. Turkic languages are way more diverse where you have some languages that are extremely…

Not the poster, but I concur that things weren't all that different in 2017. I would say that OP's reaction is caused by selectively remembering the state of the world. Living in t…

How would the problem of huge (dozens of GB) graphics assets be solved? Is there a current/planned way to have the large WASM binaries and assets stored on the computer?

Could you explain why overpopulation will not be a problem?

One business process that is generally carved out well is customer support. Many large corps have offshore support centers. A sector that comes to mind is mobile-comm companies (e.…

> the idea of knowing everything I don't think that's what defines a polymath, for if it does, then none existed. My view of what makes one a polymath is deep --likely cutting-edge…

Thanks for the explanation! I guess I was looking at it more from the perspective of merely making requests (without creds). My understanding is that if an extension has a wildcard…

Maybe I'm naive but what if pushbullet.com was just running a server-side fetch and returning the result? That would bypass CORS, essentially acting as a proxy server.

Not sure if that's outdated but the home page says: I have a goal I'm working towards. Mine is to achieve financial independence in 2020. ... I've reached $800 MRR so far. My goal …

I wonder how they will (did?) work around the keyboard shortcuts that Chrome reserves (and doesn't propagate to the page). For example, Cmd+T in VSCode opens up the quick search pa…

Yeah, there's something on the site that's being blocked by my ublock. Turning it off revived the page for me. Update: it's not ublock. Tried refreshing a few times with ublock ena…

Actually, Solzhenitsyn was still residing in the USSR at the time of completion of the book.

Just any a-tag containing the listed phrases.
