I try to always have three books in progress that I cycle between—one fiction, one history, and one science. I think they’re complementary and mutually-enriching modes of engaging with the world.

Boycotts have one advantage over “consistently directing your money to companies in which you are confident”—they can work even if there aren’t any better alternatives. A coordinated campaign to target one company at a time can eventually force a whole industry to change, even if the industry offered no meaningful choices to start with.
Does $9,000 seem a bit low for the cost of adding windows to all the relevant restrooms in a school district?
He might hypothetically veto legislation (which would never get through Congress anyway), but he’ll appoint Supreme Court justices who will effectively do the same thing.
Deep-pan artichoke pesto feta.
A typical use case is to forward a single port to the proxy, then set the proxy to map different subdomains to different machines/ports on your internal network. Anything not explicitly mapped by the reverse proxy isn’t visible externally.
Contemporaneous news reports in Nebraska indicated that Mr. Walz was still in his home state during the spring and did not leave for China until August.
Any link to these contemporaneous news reports?
Maybe he worked a few years at a temp agency?
Like other states, California won’t financially penalize violators, but it will post the names of violators on the state Department of Justice’s website.
Sounds like the state is just giving the violators free advertising to potential donors who want to exploit the practice.
The theory you’re referring to sounds like the free energy principle (or a variation of it).
Yeah. In my case, though, a lot of my library consists of relatively expensive reference works that I use regularly and that would be prohibitive to replace if Amazon decided to play games with them.
Did they mean to say “overzealous”?
Because a “zealous” prosecutor is just one committed to doing their job.
Yeah—I finally got a physical Kindle in part to simplify the process of downloading and backing up my ebooks.
To be fair, though, their devices and apps have mutually-incompatible file formats, so if the only point of downloading a file were to put it on an offline Kindle via USB (which is the only use case they acknowledge), they’d need to know what device you’ve got so they can convert the file to an appropriate format.
I don’t know.
You can put unmanaged files (in a readable format) onto a Kindle via USB, though, so if you’d backed up the file somewhere you could presumably put it back again manually.
They compute the odds of a human ever getting hit by a PBH in the lifetime of the solar system, and it’s… considerably less than the odds of getting a stroke.
There are also Kindle books sold without DRM at the request of the author.
The article links to another article describing the effect of getting hit by a primordial black hole. At their typical assumed speed they’d pass through a planet without stopping, but the momentary distortion caused by their passage would be enough to kill a person in its path.
