Next step reviewing (rewriting) those summaries. Currently using Anki for this, anyone has success using other tools?


I love Readwise.


I love Readwise Reader, and subscribed within a few days of trying out Reader Beta.

Despite my best intentions, though, I've not started to turn my highlights into flashcards, or started a daily review habit.

To GP: AIUI the workflow in Reader is meant to be (i) add to library, (ii) read and highlight, (iii) review highlights and create flashcards, (iv) review flashcards.


Prof Haile-Selassie? Is Haile-Selassie a common last name or has he anything to do with the other Haile Selassie?


The naming conventions in Ethiopia are different than the western world. My Ethiopian friend explained it to me that the first name is their name, second is father's name, third grandfather's. I'm not sure about the hyphen though. See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_conventions_in_Ethiopia...


The parts of the name seem relatively common. There's a distance runner Haile Gebrselassie [1], and a soccer player Theodor Gebre Selassie [2], and others with no obvious connection to Haile Selassie.

Haile Selassie means 'Power of the trinity' in Ethiopic. Given Ethiopia is quite religious (Orthodox Christian), it seems like it'd be common enough.
