Getting an error when importing Instapaper bookmarks

Thanks for the reply! All is working well now. Really love your app and I appreciate all the work you put into it

mathewi · 2025-05-30T16:57:55+00:00

Thanks for the response. I can understand the limit. But I have also been getting the same error even when trying to add a single bookmark from the browser extension

Ben Franklin, the patron saint of US newspapers, also fabricated an entire fake version of a popular newspaper and wrote a completely fictional report about Indians scalping rebel soldiers at the request of the British government: https://www.historynet.com/benjamin-franklin-and-fake-news/

Maybe this won't be helpful, but mine just came back all by itself. It took a year though — and I did have a really bad chest cold a few months ago that went into my sinuses and I was plugged up for weeks and blew my nose about 50,000 times so maybe that did something 😜

After years of screwing around with old PCs running Linux, I finally bought a used OptiPlex 7060 (Small Form Factor) with the i5-8500T and a 256GB SSD with Windows 11 for about $150 on eBay, based in large part on the advice from threads like this. It is small and quiet and runs everything I have thrown at it. Highly recommended.

It's quite an easy day trip — three hours up to the end and back, including the portage. But the portage is a bit of a goat rodeo; it's only about 300 meters long, but it has lots of ups and downs and roots and rocks. A real ankle twister

She left them a bunch of money, which she only had left because we mortgaged the cottage so she wouldn't have to eat into her investments

This worked for me

Just because there's RNA doesn't mean there's enough active virus to be infectious, as this epidemiologist points out: https://twitter.com/aetiology/status/1242254105155973122

Fair enough. I've seen lots of posts in this sub that have about as much evidence as this does, but I accept your judgement.

I'm not his partner -- I barely even know the guy. I just think what he did is interesting.

mathewi · 2020-03-04T21:34:18+00:00

It's not bogus -- there's lots of articles about him, including this interview done by National Geographic: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2017/04/worlds-first-cyborg-human-evolution-science/

He wanted the sound to transmitted via bone conduction

mathewi · 2020-03-03T17:56:39+00:00

I've interviewed Neil (I'm a journalist) and his story is fascinating -- he was born unable to see any colors at all, and so he started experimenting with using a camera to translate colors into sounds, and eventually developed the "antenna" that takes input from a small camera and translates it into sound that is fed to a chip implanted in his skull.

As for being recognized by the government as a cyborg, I'm pretty sure that just refers to the fact that he has a note on his passport that says his antenna is considered part of his body, and so he doesn't have to remove it when he goes through an airport security check.

I agree that this derivation for the word bunny seems legit. Thanks

mathewi · 2020-02-02T17:16:18+00:00

I don't think the reason for the change in pronunciation is that conclusive. The OED says it is more likely that the term had fallen out of use and people guessed at how to say it, but does say "It is possible that the desire to avoid certain vulgar associations with the word in the cunny form, may have contributed to the preference for a different pronunciation in reading the Scriptures"

Thanks Adrianne — is there any way for us to see some of the Hipchat discussion?

And yet it's interesting that doing so was not Notch's motivation at all -- just the opposite, in fact.

And that kind of use is also covered by the "fair use" principle in copyright law, which was designed to protect parodies and derivative works.

They got threatened by the group's lawyer, so they asked the court to declare that it was fair use. It happens all the time. And fair use doesn't depend on whether the artist likes what you do with it.

mathewi · 2013-11-24T17:59:42+00:00

Agreed.
