- you can only sync using mobi and now you have a completely crippled book with horrible formatting;

Amazon does suck, but the Kindle hardware is the best in the business.

Kobo has some nice software features, but their hardware kinda stinks. The Forma and the Libra H20 both have terrible lighting with a giant dark band on one side.

If you're happy with a 100k salary, far be it from me to commiserate. But don't tell other people they can't attain higher compensation that puts them into the top 1% of earners. These jobs are real, they're not scarce, and they're absolutely not overly difficult to attain. You don't even need a college degree.

Don't tell people not to look. That's horrible.

Japan's ability to defend itself from air attacks was essentially over before the mass firebombing attacks even began. Before the first firebomb raid the US removed all but one machine gun from each B-29's in order to carry more bombs, judging correctly that the Japanese defenses were weak enough.

Eh, in the US if a doctor does like none of her peers and fails to cure you, yes, doctors do get sued.

The point of the video was police as a fraternity don't have any obligation to protect you, personally, absent special circumstances. Which, when you get down to it is sort of like doctors-- if I have a heart attack across the street from a hospital, you know, I'd appreciate them trying to save me but unless there is some special circumstance I'm not confident they're required to.

I had a gig doing this once in grad school. Here's my method. It worked great:

First, close the library (or library section) until your work is complete. It's critical that the books not go wandering or get rearranged during this process.

Next, grab an SLR (or equivalent mirrorless) camera with video mode. Set it to video mode. In good lighting, play it over the shelves, one by one, from left to right. Slowly.

Make sure the spines are all legible. This is your set-of-books.

Set yourself or someone else up transcribing the titles from the recording, in the order shelved. Check it a couple of times. If you missed a book, or couldn't read the spine from the recording, add it here.

Once you are certain your list is accurate and complete, print (or put on your phone) the list of books. (Still in the order shelved.)

Now, again, working top-down, left-to-right, take books out in sets of eight. (I like eight because it's a nice round number, it's near miller's magic number, and it's also a number of books I can typically carry.)

For each 'byte' of eight books, take your SLR and, in photo mode, take a pic of the frontmatter page of that book -- the one containing the date of publication, and, most critically, the ISBN.

Put the eight books back on the shelf and take another eight. Repeat until complete. Be sure not to miss a book.

Now you have a list of books and a set of pics. Guess what? They are the same length and in the same order. So, book 1 on your list is the first pic on your SLR. And so on.

Now, you can OCR those pics for the ISBN. As backup/redundancy you can grab other info as well, e.g. publisher, etc. to sanity-check the results of your ISBN lookup.

Congratulations, you now have enough information -- a title and and ISBN -- for e.g. Google Books to pull up the rest of the info, which you can sanity check against the other deets you OCRed out of the frontmatter page.

Final tip: Calibre has a book information lookup thingy; it wasn't what I used back in the day, but AFAIK it should work great. It may be possible for you to simply populate the Calibre book list with titles and ISBNs, and have it just magically whisk other details -- date of publication etc. -- into the appropriate fields. Again, you can cross-check these (either exhaustively or spot-check) against the OCRed contents of the frontmatter pages, which (again) you associated with a book title in the initial step.

Happy librarianing!

Impacts of this magnitude exploding near enough to the surface to cause significant damage on land are not common at all - perhaps on the order of once per century - given the recording of modern technology over the last ~150 years (obvious wide margin of error there).

Despite that, hitting the city in OPs article, even 35 centuries ago, still seems like an extremely low probability event happened.
Too much complexity now. This will make languages like Go more relevant.
Way to miss the point. Any niche between cars and bikes has to compete with both cars and bikes -- and you can aggregate things into cars to get utilization up, as you have discovered by paying for delivery.

Bike infrastructure is underdeveloped. Car infrastructure is not, and cars are good at cargo. Shifting cargo-hauling duty onto bike infrastructure is a great way to put bike infrastructure overcapacity, but not a great way to haul cargo. We should reserve bike infrastructure for people, because getting people out of cars and onto bikes is where the magic happens. Turning bikes into small cars -- which is where this idea is clearly headed -- is gross.

Yes, it's Libby going forward. It fairness, Kindle delivery is very easy if you are not a tech savvy person, which a lot of library users are not. They have a Kindle because they desire the accessibility tools (larger printer, lighter weight) or their kids bought it for them or whatever. Being able to do delivery just like they would buy a book is great. But Amazon requires prominent Kindle branding and locks the Libby app out of their app store, so it's also somewhat annoying if you are a librarian who doesn't want to promote a specific brand. But the Kindle is such a huge part of our user base, it's hard to go back now. Other methods work, there's just nothing as smooth as the Kindle.

If you're going to tell us that the Bible is not composed of historically accurate accounts by contemporary writers, that's really nothing new.

I'm a home Ubuntu and Debian desktop user. I've been using the free Ubuntu 14.04 ESM support since LTS support dropped. I've been fairly happy with it.

Using an old distro with it's old shared libs and old compilers is definitely not for the normal home user ubuntu demographic that wants things to work easily. But for curmedgeons that hate change and can deal with editing some cmake/etc and source header lines here and there it's liberating. I'd like to use Debian more but 5 years just isn't enough.
The FBI's intentions are getting more funds.

Seeming to be doing something useful is more important to that end than actually doing something useful, hence their colorful history of creating easy problems to fix and then solving them to great fanfare, particularly well-documented in the aftermath of 9/11.

It's much safer to find mentally unstable people, surround them by undercover agents and get them to incriminate themselves than it is to go after actual criminals.
They already announced they aren't making their next interest payment, so the value of the "9.5%" coupon is almost certainly less than that.

That advice only works if you're liquid (or can call in more capital very quickly). Most institutional investors are close to fully invested all the time because otherwise they miss out on all market gains. There are only a few specialized hedge funds which hold mostly cash and try to buy when there's blood in the streets.
It's worse than the analogy as in this case the "disease" clearly noticed it was being studied, which could have had catastrophic results and leave the disease better at hiding in the future.

A whole lot of city dwellers, especially outside the US, don't have a license.

On top of this they may be wishing to get stuff to/from places that aren't very accessible by car, and additionally rental car prices are heavily determined by the price of the vehicle, the operating costs, and maintenance. The numbers on something like this are much lower than on a van.

yup, i read that and thought, "yes, a reason to double-wide the bike lanes!" i mean, i get it, someone abusing the commons is annoying, but it means we need more human-oriented commons (vs. the car-oriented).

cars get too much of our shared space. we should consider repurposing most city streets, such as: one lane (each way) for cars, 1 lane for buses, and 1 protected lane for bikes. most lanes are about 10 feet wide, so we can take a foot away from the car lane and give it to the bus lane to promote traffic calming, while the protected (with curb or bollard) bike lane can be split in two to provide a passing lane.

There are ways around US labor laws too. Unions often get away with stealthy "work slowdowns" and "everyone call in sick" actions. Typically without any repercussions for the union or employees because it's illegal, but hard to prove.

I'm very skeptical about anything coming out of Freedom House when its chair was the co-author of the Patriot Act... like come on. There is quite an obvious conflict of interest in what this organization puts out.

More often than not, these types of organizations are used to justify support for western action in what they call "non-free" countries. It works.

Instead, I think we should focus more on improving the majority of lives of the people in the US than focusing on countries abroad.

50+ would have been a small raid. the firebombing of tokyo was like over 300 bombers. Same with those larger raids in europe that destroyed 50% or more of many major cities. WWII was about overwhelming air defenses with a sea of bombers. Japan couldn't do anything about a bomber fleet of that size by like 1943 when US had total air superiority in the pacific and could bomb anything anywhere at that point with their carriers.

I get correlation and causation, but if I was sitting in an ancient Jericho, and watching another Army walk round the walls - and after they did a sodding great meteorite fell from the gods and blew down half my city walls, I would certainly think about religious conversion. :0)

On the other hand we should not get too carried away matching up events like this. The team behind this article took pains to prove it must have been an airburst by finding molten glass that could only come from certain temperatures etc etc.

I always understood that walking round the walls of Jericho was supposed to be cover for the sounds of sappers, just as the wooden horse of Troy may well have been a animal shaped cover for a battering ram, as opposed to a rather easy to avoid foot-gun.

Linear independence doesn't guarantee that you can rotate, for that you need to know how to exchange one dimension for another.

Essentially you need to define a Pythagorean theorem for your space. You can do that for the car vector space, but there isn't a natural choice.

It sounds like the approach you will be taking will not involve fun. That's fine, but I think it needs to be acknowledged. Forcing them to study a subject will be work to them.

You claimed that "Bitcoin's Script Interpreter is an implementation of 2-PDA (two-stack pushdown automata)." But this is an unambiguously false claim. A two stack pushdown automata must be able to, for example, execute an infinite loop and Bitcoin's Script Interpreter cannot do this.

The lack of Ctrl is sadly a feature for web apps. You don't know which browser, and thus which set of shortcuts your user will be using your app from. However assuming that shortcuts will be prefixed is a pretty safe assumption, so the non-prefixed letters are really the only safe option for web app hotkeys as they form a relatively safe space of shortcuts.
