My experience with Calibre has been improving as of late. I'm really grateful for the snappiness of the software. I hope we can have a separate epub reader, so that I don't need to keep Calibre always open to skim through a book.

Why can't the top developers pool their money together and invest into an ecosystem that is more fair? They make enough profit. They could easily lead with a carrot (if you invest, you get preferential treatment). I understand the scal

Thanks for the feedback! I was going to edit it but looks like I can't. Regardless, the main idea is that I support greed as a motivator because financially sovereign teams don't exist nor scale enough to support a given cause (es

The font Verdana has been the best thing for me. None of the 'dyslexia fonts' have been desirable. You might need to increase the size a little (depending on how the UI renders it) but it's very enjoyable to me. I tend to eve

This could be a good analogy to what our brain experience. We do compartmentalize things, for efficiency reasons. (I.e. a book is a book. we have concrete models of the world to reference; like a PCB board has concrete functions it performs

I'm not sure why people are down voting. Adam Smith would agree with you BrainInAJar. Maybe HackerNews needs to read some Adam Smith.

Is no one going to talk about the hypocrisy? Eric Schmidt isn't a beacon of sensible innovation pushing America forward. Peter Thiel called him out eight years ago [1] and I strongly encourage you to watch the 4 min clip. [1] - https:

Make no mistake. These problems are solvable. There is an active political will (via the majority of people). Yet, the three States that are burning millions of acres are apathetic right now. This could be solved for many years going forwar
