THREAD: I'm looking at a Huawei P20 from China, let see what can I found

The 1st app I reversed is an app called Decision

Look at the name of the files contains in the assets folder:
- airport_china.txt
- city_china.txt
- cityinfo.db
- parkinglot_china.txt
- railwayinfo.db
- trainInfo.db
- trainstation.db

Interesting, no?

For example, the trainstation database contains:
- address
- name
- latitude
- longitude
- city

In the manifest of this application, there is a GeoReceiver

Procrastination Hack:

When you procrastinate, you are focusing too much on the big tasks.

Stop.

Flip it.

Focus on the small tasks & build up.

Ex: instead of focusing on getting the entire blog done, do 1 paragraph.

You will strangely want to complete another paragraph...

Bonus Hack: Song

Have one song that gets you hyped up.

Promise yourself after playing the song 2-3 times, you will immediately begin.

No questions asked.

Begin.

The song amps up your emotions & you approach the task with energy.

Bonus Hack: Game

Turn mundane tasks into a game.

Use your creativity.

If you’re a gamer, break tasks into levels & kill each boss.

If you like music, reward yourself with a song after each completion.

Challenge: Aim to do some pushups or pullups after each crossed off goal.

My storytelling newsletter will give you practical tips to level up your mind & level up you life.

Now that Google+ has been shuttered, I should air my dirty laundry on how awful the project and exec team was.

I'm still pissed about the bait and switch they pulled by telling me I'd be working on Chrome, then putting me on this god forsaken piece of shit on day one.

This will be a super slow burn that goes back many years. I’ll continue to add to over the next couple of days. I’ll preface it with a bunch of backstory and explain what I had left behind, which made me more unhappy about the culture I had come into.

I spent most of my early career working for two radical sister non-profit orgs. I was the only designer working on
anywhere from 4-5 different products at the same time. All centered around activism and used by millions of people.

It’s how I cut my teeth. Learned to be the designer that I am today. Most importantly, the people I worked for are imho some of the greatest people on the planet. Highly intelligent, empathetic, caring, and true role models for a young me. I adore them.

You might not know who they are, but if you’re reading this then you have definitely seen their work. Maybe OpenCongress, or Miro, or maybe Amara which is Vimeo’s partner transcription service. Definitely Fight for the Future, our internet defenders, which was shortly after me.

My friends @robwalling and @einarvollset just launched TinySeed, an accelerator for software companies where a successful outcome is a healthy, sustainable business rather than attempting to ride the rocketship trajectory. https://t.co/LSHqZNcVid

I have some thoughts:

As somebody who bootstrapped ~4 companies, I feel like I had to make some clearly suboptimal decisions early in them for lack of what is, in hindsight, not all that much money. But there's a huge gap in the product space for investment options.

It's weird: you can get $25k from Amex trivially, and angels are very willing to write a check for that much, but you have to make representations about your goals/ambitions/market/etc which don't really apply to everyone.

And so you see the traditional angel/VC ecosystem fund companies where honestly the returns are probably not there, and this is knowable pretty early, but the chase of them will wreck what could have been a perfectly happy business.

(To make the math work for traditional VCs the company has to at least have a market-appropriate shot of $100 million a year. There are a lot more $10 million a year companies than $100 million a year companies. That is *not* a bad terminal outcome for founders/employees.)

1/ The #Tesla Model 3 is one of the most efficient #EV on a range/kWh basis, followed closely by the Bolt. Meanwhile the “Tesla Killers” lag significantly.

2/ “But they’re different types of cars so they aren’t comparable!” That’s why we put them into our physics based model that simulates EPA range to separate out form factor from battery/drivetrain efficiency.

3/ Even accounting for the fact that the Jaguar iPace is an SUV, it’s far less efficient than the Model 3.

4/ Which means Tesla should be able produce a car of a given range (or at least the drivetrain) for cheaper than its competitors. (This doesn't even take into account that Tesla is likely making batteries for less than its competitors).

5/ Why is the Bolt so efficient? Perhaps it sacrifices performance to achieve it. Either way the “Tesla Killers” look like they’re throwing everything out the window to try & match Tesla performance.

\1 Are you ever afraid of investing at market peaks?

Of course you are. So am I.

But…you shouldn’t be.

This is a tweetstorm on why not to worry about investing at market peaks, as told from the world’s worst market timer.

\2 The world’s worst market timer in our story goes by the name of Bob and he started his career in 1970 at the age of 22. Bob saved $2,000 a year for 3 years before making his first stock purchase in December 1972.

\3 Shortly after his purchase, Bob experienced the brutal bear market of 1973-74 where stocks declined by 50%. Bob didn’t sell his stocks, but he decided to wait before investing any more of his savings going forward.

\4 After nearly a decade and a half of saving money, Bob felt comfortable again to buy stocks. So, in August 1987, he invested $46,000 (his additional savings since 1972) in the market.


However, in October 1987 the market crashed, down ~30% from its high.

\5 Once again, Bob didn’t sell, but was scared to put anymore money in the market for a while. He focused on saving money until the coast was clear.

My new column is up: More Evidence for the Real Collusion in the 2016 Election Comes

Don't miss the key revelation of @jsolomonReports article at @thehill: DOJ/FBI officials involved in #CrossfireHurricane #SpyGate deliberately lied & claimed national security in order to HIDE the fact they got #SteeleDossier info from Hillary's lawyers at Perkins Coie.

OK this means either the rumors that they were looking to cast a non-white girl as Ciri were wrong, or the fan pushback steered them away from pursuing that idea:

In the common imagination, the deep cultural divide in the United States pits Team Woke (young, female, POC) against Team Resentful (old, male, white).

This is almost entirely

As a great new study by More in Common shows, Americans actually divide into seven tribes:

* Progressive activists
* Traditional liberals
* Passive liberals
* Politically disengaged
* Moderates
* Traditional conservatives
* Devoted

Traditional and devoted conservatives are far outside the American mainstream. The views of progressive activists are even further away from the views of average Americans.

The rest has a lot in common. They form an “exhausted majority.”

One of the most surprising areas on which Americans agree much more than might seem obvious on Twitter, Facebook, and cable news? Political correctness.

80% of Americans—four in five!—now believe that “political correctness is a problem in our country.”

Age barely predicts how Americans feel about political correctness.

Even among 24 - 29 year olds, the group most receptive to political correctness, 74% think it’s a problem.

And among the youngest, those below 24, the number goes back up to 79%!

It’s Sunday

You invite everyone over for football

Your boys start getting a load on and....[Glass shatters]

Your buddy just dropped a beer bottle on the ground and it shattered

Beer is everywhere

What’s your response?

👇🏼

You would most likely say something like...

“It’s all good bro, it’s just a beer. Grab a few paper towels, no biggie!”

But if you droppped the glass, what would your response be like?

You be PISSED as yourself

You’d call yourself names and get mad

Why?

👇🏼

Because when your friend dropped the glass, you objectively viewed the situation

“Ok...it’s just a glass and some beer, no biggie”

You seen the situation for what it IS

But when you do it, you see the situation differently

👇🏼

As of today, it’s virtually impossible for someone to explore all career opportunities (and offers).

Most people find new jobs by proactively reaching out to companies OR getting poached.

Unless you quit your current job, you never get the opportunity to broadcast that you are looking for new jobs.

It feels like there is an interesting opportunity for a company to be built around ‘free agents’ in the business world.

This company would essentially give you 1-3 months of salary/benefits, in exchange for a percentage of compensation increase.
