I finally upgraded to the latest paperwhite, and the orange lighting and consistency of the lighting is so good, it's a worthwhile upgrade. Pick one up during the next sale.

If you actually want epub on a kindle, they released a new jailbreak a bit ago. Shipping stock of kindles are probably vulnerable. You can then install koreader: https://koreader.rocks/ https://www.mobileread.com

The interesting part about this is that you'll also likely see a NP or physician's assistant, who, at best, "google" (uptodate) your symptoms if the case isn't obvious. Sometimes doctors will do the intake appointme

The government wouldn’t prevent you from going to college, it just wouldn’t voluntarily pay for you to go if you didn’t test well. You could pay your own way, seek external scholarships, etc. As of now we effectively underwrite anyone who w

Interesting, neoliberals seem to now support the authoritarian state, the various intelligence agencies, NATO going to war with Russia, censorship, etc. Has been a strange shift.

I think the only qualification for "security engineer" these days is changing your LinkedIn job description to "security engineer". Unlike SWEs, there isn't really any sort of standard leetcode bar for them, which i

University employees are, unfortunately or not, consistent one party voting blocs. Cuts to them are highly unlikely.

Hottest take on HN. Countries without actual free speech have better “free speech” than the only country with actual free speech.

You’re in for a bumpy ride. Normally the advice is to buy bonds if you’re risk averse, but the government got those into a nice bubble as well with QE.

I had a eero 5 before upgrading to the 6 -- found the traffic shaping pretty useless on both to be honest. "CAKE" or not, didn't do much for me on two connection types that absolutely need shaping -- local cable and local DSL

I switched my family from AmpliFi to Eero —- drastically more reliable. Few firmware update hiccups but they’ve been great so far. Better speeds. Only thing missing is good QoS —- the “SQM” they advertise doesn’t work nearly as well as true

Read some more this morning. I missed this gem the first time through. "Unlike Hatcher’s goals, I choose to privilege the view of a Nepantlerx—seeing the interconnectedness between Indignenous and Whitestream knowledge of mathematics.

Boulder is California-light. Colorado doesn’t yet have the endemic corruption you get with uniparty states like California, but with all the Californians moving there and doing the same thing, it’s coming. The rise in homelessness in Boulde

Same thing here friend! The trick is realizing that the federal salary and benefits package is absolutely astronomically generous for the amount of work that the average fed puts in per month. Then there’s the standard 10% of them that stru

At low incomes, your tax return is highly likely to be incredibly simple. If you’re doing something so wrong that it generates an audit, the IRS clearly knows they’re going to strike oil with the audit. They aren’t stupid. What’s your solut

The tax code isn’t enforced at the cash / low income level. Thus you can vote for increased taxes to fund increased social spending and not actually take part in the taxation. In fact, you’ll likely even get additional money back filin

Love the product as well. Great pricing, handles my complicated return fine. I do miss Turbotax auto importing everything, but doing it manually helps me understand what I'm doing better.

An i386 will use more power than a far cheaper server that’s still 100x as powerful. It would be more “sustainable” to upgrade.

If a heart and brain surgeon can’t afford a house in California, they need to look at their spending. Are they trying to qualify for a 20 million dollar mortgage or what? That’s an absurd anecdote.

I’m actually quite impressed they haven’t started that push yet —- guessing COVID still sort of being a thing but no longer spoken about due to it polling poorly makes this a non-ideal time. On the other hand, as there’s effectively no bord
