I don’t think there is an easy way to DeDRM the latest kindle format used by the Mac/pc and iOS reader, and there is no easy way to download all kindle books in your account for “transfer to device via usb” for e-ink devices all at onc

Did they give you a confirmed offer letter and then revoke it, or was it just a failure to give you an offer letter? In the current rapidly-worsening economy, I probably wouldn't consider it obviously improper (just unfortunate) for a

My priorities in your case would be: 1) Find a job/career 2) Relocate to a place you want to be The relationship/lifestyle goals are secondary to those (maybe ultimately more important, but would require and be consequences of im

I am in shock. I don't really care that much about anything on Twitter, but this implies either 1) we're not going to get to Mars from SpaceX or 2) the level of capriciousness is in excess of my tolerance for life support/o

Much larger cross section when you expand "person" to companies. I probably wouldn't bother with chat, but absolutely would/have with smart contracts and wallet software. (Was a multi-human effort within an organization

This is nice for protecting against compelled legal disclosure in the US, but Google could just serve js in the future (targeted to specific users only, if they want) to capture password/key. This is the problem with repeatedly downloa

Turning off all notifications except for direct-to-you seems reasonable, unless you're being paid to be on-call or something and it's truly critical that you be responsive to the team notifications? Batch checking it every few ho

I really like Duolingo as a way to practice (Spanish) every day, on top of a foundation of via-zoom language classes for 2h/day over a couple months from Baselang, and living in a Spanish speaking place (Puerto Rico), traveling to Span

I wish we could fix whatever prevents this from happening at scale in Mexico, too (with some high value production in the US and potentially Canada as well, and maybe some other supplies coming from the elsewhere in the Americas.). I wonder

My experience is that even one wrap of PTFE tape on threaded PVC causes it to loosen and then leak, and it's recommended by youtube/google to not use it. (Some say sealant is ok).

Ugh, I applied it to PVC pipe, which made it leak, sigh.
