It sounds trivial but if you do that enough times your brain goes "Oh, I guess we're working now" and you get that crucial momentum going.

When mainstream media has been pushing pernicious narratives and outright lies for many years, I see why people would be skeptic about their claims.

Unfortunately, most people don't have the means (technical knowledge, time) to appropriately asses the real danger of this situation, so they have two options:

- Believe the liars.

- Don't believe the liars.

It turns out, the liars weren't lying this time.

I couldn’t find a way that an admin could see any past Hangouts video meeting, but they do have access to all metadata. They can also enforce a setting to record Hangouts to Google Drive, which means those recordings would be accessible by an admin. It is unclear if recording can be enforced, but presumably, if so, Hangouts would give an indication that the meeting is being recorded. There’s also a setting to have chat logs on, which would then make them accessible by admins.

I feel like I'm using a different homedepot.com than everyone else on this thread. I'm not aware of an option to reserve things for pickup at the store, only to purchase them and pickup at the store. Every time I have done this they send an email when the order is ready to be picked up, and then I go there and pick up all the items. Not saying you didn't have the experience you did, just wondering if they actually do things differently in different parts of the country.

It's also based on the items you're ordering. Some stuff we've ordered arrives within a few days or less. Other items that I've ordered (tools) has taken about 3 weeks to arrive. Some items keep getting pushed back. I would cancel and buy elsewhere but I'd pay a lot in shipping since these aren't all items I can buy from one place online.

I have shopped online for other items though. I bought some insoles for really cheap from a UK based bicycle store, the items got here in less than a week... all the way from the UK! It's not like all shipping is broken down - just Amazon.

> I don't know it it was a placebo effect or not, but I knocked out a complicated physical simulation model

It's not a placebo effect. That's what Adderall does. While I never recommend abusing drugs, the fact that you're using caffeine for self treatment and you respond so well to Adderall may mean you have undiagnosed ADHD.

It's worth going to a psych and getting a prescription for it. The great thing about drugs like that is you can take them on days when you really need to knock projects out of the park, and be normal on other days.

The mathematician Erdos apparently did amphetamines for productivity and a friend bet him to quit for a month. He said:

My guess is that he used them for self-medication much like they're used formally now for ADHD treatments. I am NOT recommending you take drugs illegally, but it is fairly easy to get diagnosed for ADHD and get a prescription. It might be a big help.

I don't know the answer to that question, but if you are developing an embedded project (and especially if it's a raspberry PI) you can mmap() the hardware I2C registers to userspace memory and use them directly.
You will have to basically write the I2C driver in userspace and it won't be portable but it's not that hard and it will make for very low latency I2C communication. I had to do this once for latency.

My wife got SIM jacked just a few weeks ago and we got extremely lucky that it didn't turn into a bigger problem. They did get a hold of her Venmo account, but fortunately it's not actually linked to our bank account (Venmo restricts the # of users that can link to a single bank account).
Just seconding this by proxy. Thanks to some early steps, I'm about as unaffected by COVID-19 as a person can be. I live in a neighborhood with acres between houses, telework to an office across the country, and am not at all unused to not leaving the house for a week at a time. In addition, I was able to make a bigger-than-usual trip to Costco in addition to already having some disaster preparedness steps taken well before-hand (fresh batteries, fresh water containment, rice / flour / staple foods on hand, etc.) and yet I still find myself at numerous points throughout the day thinking about some things I need, or might need in the near future, trying to find ways to procure said thing without leaving the home, and it's draining me in very small doses.

"Universal Basic Income" is a very confusing title. Obviously they would have to increase tax revenue. Fortunately, they have a good place to draw it from, since their citizenry just received a large windfall! In reality, most people would be no richer from a UBI, and many people would be poorer. Since it would replace already existing benefits systems, many of the poorest people would be no better off either. You might instead call it "Universal Baseline Income", since it guarantees that everyone has at least a certain amount of income. Obviously those that already have more than enough won't get anything extra.

I imagine this is one of those things where everyone has different experiences. Or maybe it depends on location.

I sell on eBay and it's pretty easy to beat Amazon. Most first class and priority packages arrive in under 3 days depending on your location to an airport. I'm right next to PDX and almost all of my packages go through there and end up on the other side of the US overnight. Those packages typically take two days. Also helps I ship same day so they're on a flight that night or the next morning.

As for the fakes, they certainly exist on eBay but it's a lot easier to spot. If an item doesn't have good pictures, that's a huge red flag. I personally stay away from sellers that just use stock images. I want to know exactly what I'm getting.
I'm in the south: shipping for my item was 29 days.

There are plenty of sites and tools for watching for watching together

There are many more, andchill.tv for Youtube, Kast, and so on. Zoom is probably the last solution i'd use for this.

>> Just a question: don't you risk to get stuck in a perpetual refactoring/rewrite cycle?

Yes, definitely, it’s actually all I’ve been doing on one of these projects for the past two years. Guess I just like refactoring a lot it seems ;-)

Joking aside, refactoring is a broad term. Most of the time spent ‘refactoring’ this project was to incorporate interesting new ideas, increasing the capabilities of the game engine etc. Not just the typical technical debt cleanup. But even some of that was actually very educational, for example I found out that the whole idea to use object-oriented programming techniques to model the game was a bad idea, and have slowly refactored the whole thing to a hybrid between OOP and an entity-component system. Just the act of incrementally applying such a fundamental paradigm shift while keeping the engine mostly working was quite an interesting challenge!
> It's not irrelevant. ... the answer isn't to remove the only feature from a location-sharing app so you can run NOPs in peace. It's to stop using the app.

That's clearly not the case here. It's irrelevant in that in the context of this specific discussion, which this application, which is marketed towards enterprises as secure, an argument that a sharing of private information accidentally though bad UI is the problem of the user for putting private information in that private channel is irrelevant.

> Your misuse of a feature that performs exactly as advertised can't justify calling that feature a security problem.

That depends on how we classify "exactly as advertised". If the overall claims of the product as to being secure are easily and often circumvented on accident through poor UI, then that may be a security or privacy problem. If that place it's advertised is not something that most users will encounter during normal usage, then how it's advertised is of little consequence.

One extreme end of this would be something hidden deep in the EULA or privacy policy that advertised how this works, and the other extreme end would be an alert every time you use it that explains this. I think one is obviously a problem (to the point that it looks purposeful), and the other obviously isn't, but the only difference between them is where the information is placed or how assured you can be that the user has encountered and hopefully understood it. I think this clearly indicates that the problem is not whether certain behavior is advertised, but how aware users are made of how the application functions.

Maybe try to stone soup yourself. Start a project where the bare bones can be done in a couple of days but the possible features to add are unlimited. For me, there's this implicit calculation of opportunity cost. Like, if I work on this, I can't work on all these other interesting things. But if you switch your mindset to "working on this will help me work on all these other things," that opportunity cost disappears.

For example, just the blockchain data structure (not a full cryptocurrency, just the data structure) is relatively small and doable. Maybe a tiny perceptron or autoencoder. But there's a lot of opportunity to make something with even such small toys.

And don't be afraid of making something that isn't a "true" or "real" whatever. Yeah, it's not a "true" blockchain but it was toy to test your chops on.

Also, whatever you do end up doing, regardless of whether you finish it or not, write about it. Just a paragraph or two of what you were trying to do, how far you got, what made you lose interest. Informally as possible.
For me I think I just learned to stop being hard on myself for not finishing. They're side projects, you don't owe anything to anyone. I've also found that as time has gone on, certain side projects have remained compelling to me even after getting burned out on them the first time. Some of them I've eventually gotten back to, gave up on again, and then gotten back to. Before long it becomes clear that it's not that I'm perpetually undisciplined and lack follow-through, it's more that I've made slow and steady progress on those projects over the years.

Only other advice I can give is that when picking a side project, find something where the process is as enjoyable as the outcome.

Package managers and containers are fairly different things. For internal distribution of software, for example, apt can be better (less disk usage, less configuration issues, better integration with other programs...). Recommending one or the other in such a broad way is just misguided and will cause problems.
Be realistic with what "done" is when you start a project and force yourself to get to that point. It doesn't have to be published or making money or anything specific, but define what it is and do it.

The more often you get to "done" the easier it is. The same goes for quitting though - every time you quit something it gets easier to excuse yourself the next time and so on.

The last 5% of a project is always the hardest to slog through. Being able to finish things is a super important skill and something I'd say is worth cultivating.
