Have you seen this article? It describes the (supposed) method of making what were at the time very accurate maps by collecting and combining as much data from ship logs as possible. Perhaps an interesting analogue to our current situation cosmologically.
If you're looking just for 'send to kindle' type browser buttons then there are a few services - all better than the Amazon one:
Push-to-Kindle: http://fivefilters.org/kindle-it/ Instapaper: https://www.instapaper.com/save Send-to-Reader: http://sendtoreader.com/faq/
My favourite is Send-to-Reader - seems to work the best of all of them.
If you're looking for a news/rss aggregator + push service for Kindle... I'm currently evaluating a few free ones. Will post on this in a few days.
the code is written in a way that suggests it's to make sure you're always getting the most updated version (so you see edits or whatever?). In practice this pissed me off.
This will let you read in peace: https://www.instapaper.com/text?u=http://citypaper.net/uberdriver/
For a slightly more tolerable reading experience. Also that was one of the best written articles I've ever read.
Trello - Drop the lengthy email threads, out-of-date spreadsheets, no-longer-so-sticky notes, and clunky software for managing your projects. Trello lets you see everything about your project in a single glance.
Instapaper - Save all of the interesting articles, videos, cooking recipes, song lyrics, or whatever else you come across while browsing. With one click, Instapaper lets you save, read, and manage the things you find on the Internet.
Try Instapaper or equivalent service?
Edit: Added link, above. Also, can confirm Instapaper works great with D and C's website. It makes the articles much more readable (visually, at least).
I would like to recommend some of the tutorials which really help you in learning python >> Python Tutorials Learn Python Python From Basics Try these. Good Luck!
Sorry, it was TWO elders plus Steve Brown: link.
The only thing I've read is that they were "asked to resign."
I'd mark it NSFW just because it's the Daily Mail.
Here's a stripped-down text version, which still includes the blurred image but none of the sidebar crap.
I've yet to see such a candidate in real life. Libertarians in the GOP are far more passionate about economic conservatism than social.
> The libertarian philosopher always starts with property rights. Libertarianism arose in opposition to the New Deal, not to Prohibition. The libertarian voter is chiefly exercised over taxes, regulation, and social programs; the libertarian wing of the Republican party has, for forty years, gone along with the war on drugs, corporate welfare, establishment of dictatorships abroad, and an alliance with theocrats. Christian libertarians like Ron Paul want God in the public schools and are happy to have the government forbid abortion and gay marriage. I never saw the libertarians objecting to Bush Sr. mocking the protection of civil rights, or to Ken Starr's government inquiry into politicians' sex lives. On the Cato Institute's list of recent books, I count 1 of 19 dealing with an issue on which libertarians and liberals tend to agree, and that was on foreign policy (specifically, the Iraq war).

Instapaper - For reading blog content offline (create an account here): https://www.instapaper.com/
In Instapaper, in the settings, you can configure your Kindle account (under the Kindle section).
Then get an instapaper extension in your browser. This usually gives a right-click option to save a URL into instapaper. Just google it, or open your extensions in your browser & download one.
And if that turns out to be too small, the same bag comes in 25L. They also have a different 26L bag, the Smart Alec, that people like (I don't have one, so I can't vouch for it). You might enjoy reading this. FWIW, I'm skeptical of world travel out of a 20L bag, and think one of these 25-26L bags would be a better choice. YMMV.
Your heroes at ISIS honor your god's name by beheading children.
What's worse in your opinion?
You might find this very interesting.
Anyway, Deconstruction as other have said. I also really, really, really love Ziltoid.
Unfortunately, that's something EpubPress can't do automatically. It can remove most of the junk on the page but you have to manually remove the rest. I use Sigil to customize the epub to my liking like font, headings, footnotes, some fancy CSS so removing some junk is not too much trouble for me.
If you don't want to do it manually then you can try using the Instapaper service (it's free), which extracts only the content of the page for you, then you can download the Epub from the service and import to your phone. It's much quicker if you don't want to use Sigil. However, Instapaper, like Pocket or any other read-it-later service, you have to save the page manually. So, for example, if you want to make an epub from Nanodesu translation, you have to save all the parts to Instapaper first, then download each part as epub and then combine them together to make a full volume epub.
In short, there currently isn't any tool that can generate a good epub from any site for you, at least to my best knowledge. You either have to have a good source like the full-text page on Baka-Tsuki or have to edit out the junk later with Sigil.
I follow about 2,000 (yep right now 1952) accounts on twitter and most of those are actual news organizations that I trust, or journalists working for them.
I use Tweetbot for Mac and iOS and lots of private Twitter Lists.
What articles I can't read right now, I put into Instapaper
How about the Wayback Machine?
Alternatively, you could use something like Instapaper.
>I'm talking about the migrant crisis in particular: proof positive that's it's not only the "greedy Mr. Moneybags" that can cause problems for our economy in the long run.
The migrant crisis is not the fault of European social norms. It's the latest impact of decades of Middle East conflict, and more recently, the destabilization of the region kicked off by the US war in Iraq.
>I would argue that if we had a truly disciplined libertarian government the collapse would never have happened in the first place but I guess that's a bit indulgent.
A truly libertarian government would likely create problems that would make the 2008 recession seem mild in comparison. The world has numerous successful examples of social democracy in action. Yet there has never been a successful society built around libertarian principles. We have numerous examples of failed libertarian systems, including pre-New Deal America, post-communist Russia, and Pinochet's Chile.
Here's a good take on my view of libertarianism:
I hacked a self-hosted wallabag to e-mail bookmarked articles right away to my @kindle.com address. Edit: Before that I was a great fan of the already mentionend instapaper service.
It's not built in as well as Reading List, but the Instapaper site is clean and legible just like Reading List. Also, you have options for text and background color. The iOS apps are great, and I'm sure android too. You can also just test out the mechanism it uses to grab the text using a bookmarklet, you can find that here on the bottom of the page!
Instapaper!
https://www.instapaper.com/save/browser
(It will only show you the extension appropriate to your browser but it's available for all of them).
I save articles to Instapaper all the time from my twitter client (iOS Tweetbot) and then actually never read a lot of them … but it's great on an airplane or underground subway train! Or a coffee shop without wifi!
Instapaper has a feature that automatically sends digests to Kindle. Therefore you just choose send-to-instapaper on your mobile device and it all happens automatically in the background:
https://www.instapaper.com/user
I don't like to get flooded with digests so I have it set to send after there are 5 new articles. Each digest has the latest 10 articles. If you want it once per day no matter how many articles, you can set it up that way if you want.
Sometimes I use my severely bandwidth-limited iPad LTE connection*.
The most bandwidth efficient usage is saving links from a Twitter client like TweetBot to Instapaper.
* I set up a free 200MB/month plan on T-Mobile about a year and a half ago but when I tried to bump it to 2GB at one point I ran into a lot of trouble and just gave up and used my AT&T cell phone instead …
Tweetbot on iPhone
Also maybe Instapaper since I dump so many articles over there but am grateful to read them when I'm on a plane.

For chrome users: Add as a search engine then afterwards when you start typing in the omnibar for whatever keyword you set for instapaper, hit tab and paste the url you want and voila!
Aside from regular smartphone stuff, most of what I do on my iPhone is read twitter and save links to longer articles to read later offline (like on an airplane).
For that I use TweetBot and Instapaper (both are iOS although maybe there's Instapaper for Android now?)
http://tapbots.com/software/tweetbot/
and
There's also the tap-a-lot-and-make-buildings games for The Simpsons and Family Guy. The Family Guy game has a ComicCon event going on right now. (these are for both iOS and Android).
I use Instapaper constantly, and really appreciate it on a trip without internet access. I follow a lot of news sites on twitter (via TweetBot) and save links to Instapaper for reading offline later.
I think you can do sort of the same thing nowadays with iOS or Mac Safari Reading List but meh who knows.
Beyond that, load up books and movies. I find it hard to read in a regular passenger car (get nauseous), but I can read on a bus or a train or a plane. And a good novel or engaging nonfiction book can melt off the hours like no movie can.
Read Later/Now bookmarklets can be a handy workaround for weak paywalls.
Both Instapaper Text and Readability Read Now work on the page in OP's screeshot, regardless of whether you're logged in to either service.
FYI: Every article he has ever written for <em>The New Yorker</em> is archived on his site. There are about 100 of them and they're long form, so they will take you a while to go through them all.
You can use a site like Instapaper or Readability to send them all to your Kindle, if you have one.
I did this last year. I tried to read one a day. I finished in 4 months. :]
I used Instaread but it doesn't work on Chrome anymore so I just saved this link as a bookmark and then copy the page link to it for ad free browsing. Is there a simpler way? It does not work on many websites though.
