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, locate the azw3 file (Right click -> Open book folder).

Copy the file to your Kindle, but not to the "documents" folder (where Calibre usually puts it) but rather into Downloads->Items

This folder is where books go when you buy them from Amazon or receive them after using the Send to Kindle feature. I have only tried this with azw3 so far but it might also work with .mobi format.

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 brand-new direction? Again MathSciNet guides the answer. For each pair of the 73 Mathematics Subject Classification numbers, the authors worked out the likelihood that a paper in one area is referred to by a paper in another area. Thus, for instance, they see that 35 (Partial Differential Equations) is closest to 58 (Global Analysis)and 76 (Fluid Mechanics) but furthest from 08 (General Algebraic Systems) and 19 (K-theory). Borjas and Doran deem a topic brand-new if it is not among the 15 closest to the researcher’s original area. This is a conservative choice and probably underestimates the cognitive mobility

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) has a feature to hide irrelevant search results. With the feature on I get an endless list of matching results and no junk.

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.

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 similar and some that are not mutually intelligible with an exception of a small number of words (e.g. Turkish and Sakha). Maybe this means there can be several common languages with a smaller number of speakers in each.

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 the environment where mass media is ubiquitous, you don't quite realize just how bad things are or the negative effects it has on people. You only become aware of that after being removed from it for a period of time (e.g. being in prison) and then getting reintroduced to it.

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?

My interpretation was that they were already looking to quit but didn't do so because of uncertainty of the pandemic. Supposedly, when the uncertainty resolves people in the resignation backlog will actually quit.

Could you point me to some examples of such discussion? Very interested in checking them out.

Last I tried it, there was no way to sign in and get personalized recommendations. Is that still true (or did I just miss it)?

There is no CSS on the page. I have a feeling your comment was facetious though, hinting at the amount of bloat (e.g. Jekyll theme) we need today to do the simplest things.

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.g. T-Mobile).

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-- expertise in several disciplines.

That being said, I agree with the general sentiment that it is increasingly harder to become a polymath these days, especially in the disciplines with lots of active research. To have an expertise in just one discipline it takes years of education (to catch up with progress) and then a considerable recurrent investment of time to stay up-to-date.

If one is to be a polymath in a varied set of disciplines where overlap is minimal (see Leonardo), one would have to go through the mentioned process of acquiring and maintaining expertise for each discipline. This is different for a polymath in a set of closely-related disciplines, because there's only so much more (compared to being expert in one discipline) one needs to do to be a polymath because there's a lot of overlap. But it is debatable whether that even counts as a polymath, a point raised in:

Is Judith Butler’s supposed eminence in ‘philosophy, linguistics and politics’ enough to qualify her?

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 'https://*' origin listed in its manifest, then it can make cookie-populated requests to any domain that matches the wildcard. That's actually pretty scary from privacy and security perspectives. But I suppose that's part of the reason CWS has moderation in the first place.

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 is to reach $2k MRR.

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 panel, while in Chrome it opens a new tab.

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 enabled and it works. I think it was just an unstable cdn somewhere

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

Just any a-tag containing the listed phrases.

For those troubled by the paywall: it doesn't appear if you disable javascript. I used my uBlock origin to do so.

Here you go: https://b-ok.cc/book/5260524/55d50b . Z-lib (above) and Libgen are usually my go-to if I'm not sure I want to (or can't) purchase a book.

Considering that he says it "pushed him", I'd guess he means that there was a lot to learn and it didn't come easy.

In your case, I'd say ~95% in Math SAT II is still rather impressive because the group of people taking SAT II is already self-selected as few schools actually require the test.

Such service used to exist: FindFace. It was essentially for finding people's VK accounts having only their photo, but finding people who look like you was one of the popular use cases. It was since closed (kinda) due to privacy outrages.

A similar one called FindClone has recently appeared, though I haven't tried it.

As far as I know they do need a new sample of saliva because they don't store the ones they already analyzed.
