   Great help to review books

   I imported my kindle highlights, as many others. Now I daily review some highlights (thanks to a dashboard, I am motivated). And where I didn't create highlights, as I only listened to the audiobooks, I get the highlights from others. It also allows to create beautiful quotes. It adds the book cover and matches quote and background with colours found on the book title! Really nice!

   👍 Pros:    Review books|Beautiful quotes|Dashboard motivates

• FEATURE REQUEST: Get notes without logging in

  I'm between apps at the moment! I would have used Notion except it wasn't possible to use the app on an e-ink screen. I need an app I can compose a synopsis on at the same time as export Kindle highlights to using https://readwise.io/, which narrows the options. I'm looking at Logseq at the moment.

• Pocket: It gets worse the more you use it

  Very much agree that Pocket has gotten worse as I've used it over the years. It's so bad I've mostly moved to the much better Readwise (https://readwise.io/). I'd be fully over if they actually supported a decent export (see below). It's sad because I'm probably in the 99th percentile of Pocket users in terms of usage and am happily paying them for Premium. I can't remember a significant improvement to Pocket in 2... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• What’s the best way to take notes while reading?

  I tend to read highlight and annotate using a Kindle, and subscribe to https://readwise.io/ to transfer my notes to the web. I would like to have the workflow to be able to write up summaries of books, if only for my own reference. At the moment reading my notes is like reading a book in itself. Source: 10 months ago

• How to take notes on technical books?

  Some of the things I am doing include highlighting using a Kindle, and with a subscription to https://readwise.io/ downloading those highlights to my laptop. It's possible to automatically orgnanise them into chapters and sections. Source: 10 months ago

• Looking for an app that will help me see my notes again.

  If it syncs with whatever notes app you're using Readwise might suit your needs. Source: 10 months ago

• How to trace twitter bots

  A good starting point is to use large-scale network analysis on the bots to establish to what extent they are connected (e.g by mentions, retweets or follows) and then see if there are any outliers in the resulting network that look more organic (applying something like the Botometer API).

• Help, I've gotten hooked on social media by trying to counter misinformation

  If in doubt about a user, ask them directly if they are being paid for their time online. Often the response is cagey, insulting, or redirecting, which should tell you everything you need to know. If they deny that they're being paid, check their post history to see how many hours a day they are posting, and which hours each day they are posting-- normal people do not have eight hours a day to post. Also check... Source: over 1 year ago

• The billionaire oligarch Elon Musk (probably trillionaire during your lifetime) throws some billions to buy Twitter - promotes himself as the messiah who will rescue Free Speech. If this doesn't make you realize that the system is completely broken, I don't know what else will.

  You can start here. Musk running Twitter bots - for a long time at that - is pretty much common knowledge. Like this is how he became so insanely rich and why Tesla is so insanely overvalued by historical market KPIs. Source: about 2 years ago

• Downtown Toronto today. Saw a bunch of Canadian flag, USA flags and “Trump won” flags. Not sure what the protest is all about.

  MediaSmarts has developed a custom fact-checker search engine, which you can use to Google something you saw. All the results will be from verified fact-checkers. There’s also a tool that will tell you the likelihood that an account is a bot. Source: about 2 years ago
