  • Don’t know why you would jump to that conclusion straight away. Mín billable hours and time spent thinking on the problem is a thing. Taking regular 5m breaks (pomodoro technique) also helps with getting things done and so on and people should be paid for it.

    I mean, you should technically stop the clock if the wife calls to ask if there’s pasta at home but nobody really cares.

    Adding significant amount of hours to a report would not be ethical but adjusting 10% to get paid for time laying in bed thinking about problems is still ethical from my point of view. It’s way more value than most meetings.

    Your cultural context way vary.


  • SS7 protocol for 2G and 3G is vulnerable to man in the middle attack, easy to spy on people with. They use a walled garden approach al the primary defence mechanism and you can gain access through in for the low low price of couple of thousands of USD.

    Couple of exploits are intercepting or monitoring calls and texts and triangulating position by checking what cell towers are in range.












  • As a sidenote here I have a different issue where handing people your CC info is basically handing out the private keys to your bank account to a third party.

    I’d really like it if a credit card would use a public key system where you can verify that I have the funds and that the payment originates from the payment provider instead of getting my full CC details. I don’t really see why it’s necessary for a business to know who I am instead of just getting a green light from Mastercard or Visa to make the payment.


  • I feel like the show is pretty transparent about it not being realistic in it’s problem solving. It focus a lot on acceptance of another person’s traits as a solution to differences.

    Avatar is better and more fleshed out but Steven Universe is also really good. One of the best aspects of the show is that the world slowly becomes more complex and nuanced because Steven is actually growing up and as a viewer you’re being shown it from his eyes.

    This show was very relaxing and after watching it I just felt nice. It wasn’t as good, exciting or developed as avatar but I still felt that after I had enjoyed my time more.

    Lovely show
