This actually happened to me after connecting to wi-fi but there is a workaround that I found: Convert your book to .azw3 in Calibre Instead of sending it to the device in Calibre, locate the azw3 file (Right click -> Open book folder).

The article uses "new field" as a relative term -- a field that the researcher is not an expert in. > A question [BD14] had to address in this connection is: what constitutes a brand-new direction? Again MathSciNet guides the a

That’s great idea but might be much more difficult in practice than a common Slavic language. Turkic languages are way more diverse where you have some languages that are extremely similar and some that are not mutually intelligible with an

Not the poster, but I concur that things weren't all that different in 2017. I would say that OP's reaction is caused by selectively remembering the state of the world. Living in the environment where mass media is ubiquitous, you

How would the problem of huge (dozens of GB) graphics assets be solved? Is there a current/planned way to have the large WASM binaries and assets stored on the computer?

My interpretation was that they were already looking to quit but didn't do so because of uncertainty of the pandemic. Supposedly, when the uncertainty resolves people in the resignation backlog will actually quit.

Last I tried it, there was no way to sign in and get personalized recommendations. Is that still true (or did I just miss it)?

One business process that is generally carved out well is customer support. Many large corps have offshore support centers. A sector that comes to mind is mobile-comm companies (e.g. T-Mobile).

Thanks for the explanation! I guess I was looking at it more from the perspective of merely making requests (without creds). My understanding is that if an extension has a wildcard ' https://*' origin listed in its mani

Not sure if that's outdated but the home page says: I have a goal I'm working towards. Mine is to achieve financial independence in 2020. ... I've reached $800 MRR so far. My goal is to reach $2k MRR.

I wonder how they will (did?) work around the keyboard shortcuts that Chrome reserves (and doesn't propagate to the page). For example, Cmd+T in VSCode opens up the quick search panel, while in Chrome it opens a new tab.

Yeah, there's something on the site that's being blocked by my ublock. Turning it off revived the page for me. Update: it's not ublock. Tried refreshing a few times with ublock enabled and it works. I think it was just an uns

Here you go: https://b-ok.cc/book/5260524/55d50b . Z-lib (above) and Libgen are usually my go-to if I'm not sure I want to (or can't) purchase a book.

In your case, I'd say ~95% in Math SAT II is still rather impressive because the group of people taking SAT II is already self-selected as few schools actually require the test.
