Somewhat tangential: I often want to read PDF files and am never happy with my printing setup. Is there a service that will print any PDF at high quality, bind it for larger prints, and snail mail it to me?
Is there an RSS feed available for it?
Same here. Immediately wanted to add it to my reader for the future... and can't.
Good news tho! It's public, and you can get RSS feeds for google groups groups: https://groups.google.com/forum/feed/pagedout-notifications/... (click the "about" non-underlining-text link in the top-right to get rss/atom feed links)

RSS is the only way I follow stuff like this. I don't want emails. I don't notice emails.
Heck yes, I wish more people knew this. It's super easy. There's loads of interesting (and "interesting") stuff in apps. Even better: you can get your phone's framework code (usually in odex files) and decompile it! I've found and worked around some insane things that Samsung has done to their SMS providers on some phones....
Great! Will follow and subscribe. I miss magazines like this, in particular Algorithm Magazine, edited in the 1990s by A. K. Dewdney. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Dewdney Note: Dewdney's role in the Algorithms Magazine is not mentioned in the Wikipedia article.
> Note: Dewdney's role in the Algorithms Magazine is not mentioned in the Wikipedia article. Not yet, but it could be if someone edited the article. That's what's so great about Wikipedia!
But usually people forget to prefix that with "if you have third party sources about this...".
If you just put assertions in the article without backing then, it's likely that someone will come and dispute (or even just delete) them.
So make everyone (including yourself) a favor and always source what you add to Wikipedia.
Love the idea, reminds me of 2600 and I can't way to read it. Somewhat tangential: I often want to read PDF files and am never happy with my printing setup. Is there a service that will print any PDF at high quality, bind it for larger prints, and snail mail it to me?
Maybe you can even arrange shipping, after an initial meeting to make sure they're printing what you want, like you want it.
Edit: The problem is that PDFs are basically usability wise readable only on iPad and even then not that spectacular. Also my iPad usually stays at home so no reading from laptop or from phone either.

I know you said "mail it to me" but if it's a possibility and you find it acceptable to move a bit, why not look for a print shop near you? Where I live there's plenty. Maybe you can even arrange shipping, after an initial meeting to make sure they're printing what you want, like you want it.
My motive is that this content is interesting but not enough to get me to setup meetings with local print shops. More often than not people start businesses to save others time/money and offer convenience, I'm hoping someone did it for this particular need.
People could also print the top pages off The Economist every week and I'm sure some do but the overwhelming majority of those who read it on paper have it printed at high quality and mailed to them.
I was excited about the idea, but PDFs are a big issue. I want my content as RSS feed, please (although having a RSS feed announcing new PDF issue could work...).

This is probably because PDFs are supposed to be a format for printers. What's readable on paper is not necessarily readable on a screen.
