Let AI be rather religious and virtuous than playing god to determine the fate of the mankind...

I would rather believe in God and the uncertainty than being my fate determined by machines designed by bunch of greedy, irrational clients of Mr Epstein.

I replaced the battery after using the kindle Paperwhite for 7+ years. And now its battery life is as good as the new one's.

Is ISBN database available for download?

What's the difference between an OS and an emulator in this scenario?

"The difference is the extensive legal framework protecting Western citizens and companies from state security overreach."

Unfortunately, China is winning in the rest of the world for the same reason. While western citizens and companies are well protected, the West has intentionally kept the rest of the world vulnerable for self dirty interest. We have seen the Western hypocrisy in policies and moral codes destroying societies for decades all over the world. If the Western code of conducts for the rest of the world were hypocrisy free, Chinese slithering would have been impossible, and the world would be a lot better than it is now.

We have been following Singapore math for our kid since he was a little over five years old. We've found the concepts in this book series practical and workbooks enjoyable for the kid.

So, entrepreneurs from technologically advance (and competitive) countries have even more opportunities to play bigger roles and create significant impact in a society.

From my history of long time loneliness, I have learned to cope with it by observing things that bring me out of my comfort zone in positive way. I found the following activities helping me- 1. Attending (and pushing myself to mingle) conference or workshop on topics of my interest and expertise. 2. Spend some time at the park or places where relaxed people are around you. 3. Learning wu shu or Tai chi from a good master. It not only helps to widen your physical capabilities, but also you get to interact with other people. 4.Challenge yourself with activities that you are able to fulfill, and enjoy. Volunteering for non-profit organization, hiking in the mountain, learning a new sports, even walking slowly, aimlessly in the market/mall helped me feel myself.

I wonder if the experience improves by using proxy browsers, such as- Opera (lite/mini).

I wonder why India with population 1.3bn has only 145MB zipped footprint when USA with population a quarter of that has almost 1 GB? AFAIK, FB is huge in India.

This is a remarkable device. The configuration looks good as well. It reminds me of the primary concept of Microsoft Courier.

While going through pros and cons for considering a buy, I found no email client, messenger or a browser. For the targeted audience, at that price point, and with that hardware config, those features are unavoidable.
