Just found that all my cryptocurrencies were converted to USDT on August 30. Without any confirmations and email notifications. One more reason not to trust Binance (or any other stock exchange platform).

For some reasons I really wanted to start full time work this year and then decided to wait a bit, check for free time. And here we are, the second year of university is starting to ****. And the main idea is that it's getting more interesting and complicated with every hour. Idk if it was a good or bad idea not to work this year, but I enjoy the things as they are now. C++, ASM, C and a lot of interesting stuff which I wouldn't have learned if I worked.

Came to conclusion, that I've been working last 3-4 days listening to lives of RHCP, Deftones etc. And Idk why, but I'm finding lives more "performy" if I can say it. It's like being in cafe or in any crowded place but you can control how involved you are by changing video or adjusting volume.

I have 3 Yandex stations at home and sometimes I even use their functions like: timer, weather, time. And today I asked: "Alice set the timer for 3 minutes." and everything was alright, she answered: "Okay" as usual BUT. She continued with this: "Bla-bla-bla Yandex bulb, you can buy only for 10 rubles". Are you okay? I'm buying the product, I'm buying the subscription for its usage, and you insert in PAID product advertisement. Imho It's not normal.

It's time to talk more about software and devices that uses it. I have Sony WH1000-xm4 for more than 2 years now and this headphones are awesome, the battery life is great, the sound is clear, I can listen to different genres and adjust equalizer settings to make rap songs more bumpy and rock more clear and vibrant.
But there is one things, that they can't fix, in the Headphones app they have this "WORLD CHANGING FEATURE" simultaneously connected devices and it work great until you connect your headphones to a Macbook. Since that mac takes the headphones and doesn't give the permission to listen from other devices. Even when I don't use mac(sleeping mode). That's all.

Today's the Netflix show.
I've just finished Sex Education and I'm finding the 4th season incredibly good. The first seasons were more about sex and teens relationships, so it was interesting and funny to watch, especially because of I was a teen when It happened. The third season was boring and told nothing, for me It was the worst season that almost killed the movie for me.
And now the reason, why I am writing this article now, the 4th season. Yes, they continued to talk about sex and how it is important to know your partner and your body, but the main theme, the main idea of every episode was shifted to a deep psychology and a child-parent relationship. If we pull out all sex related stuff and leave everything else, the show still will be about important thing that we don't see in every day life. The problem of acceptance of gay people in a tradition church, the problem of being a good parent even when your life is ruined and you have to do a lot, the problem with self-pushing, being more than you yesterday and not understanding that you are just a human being and you can cry when you want.
I highly recommend you to watch it, if you want to understand the problems of nowadays society more. Also have to mention that the dressing is so colorful and unique that with each frame you can see something interesting and not usual. Taking all of the above together, the piece is worth your time.

Good. Shows what you have to sacrifice while achieving your goals.

I've already wrote some about Yandex.Ads and how it pissed me off. But Today I want to add something. Imagine you want to go to the cinema? so you want to buy tickets via Yandex.Afisha but before purchasing the tickets you want to check out movie trailer and HERE WE GO. They're showing 15 seconds adv before 1 minute trailer. Wtf...

I’m currently looking for a way to read books and choosing between kindle and ipad. So, I’m in book-geeks a bit now and found this:

“Try listening to an audiobook at 2.5x speed while reading the physical book or epub. It's game-changing. Better comprehension, better attention span, and easy to take notes. The main thing is, you can sit and read for hours without getting distracted.”

Preface
As a part of my new year’s goals list I want to start this every week posts in both of my channels(@lifes_notes @loopynerd) where I share with you some of interesting articles and videos that I’ve watched. Firstly I do it to stimulate the habit of writing, I really like to write something but sometimes just too tired or lazy for it. Then this is really cool to have all this stuff that I once upon a time read, so I can fast check on it if needed. And the last but not the least is the idea of giving something really interesting and helpful to others.

CS50 Lecture by Mark Zuckerberg — cool lecture, real good mixed some social and CS stuff. A lot of about early Facebook design, privacy, social connections and etc. Also in the end there is a part about challenging yourself that I’ve found the most interesting.

Well being as a hobby — shows an idea of being in good condition requires a lot of time. Helped me realize that it's good when you have all meetings, hobbies and habits arranged but don't forget about your life's hobbies.

How to Speak — Wow, the only word(not exactly) that I could say when finished. How clear and obvious he shows how to speak. Really must to watch thing if you want to deal with audience and public speeches in the future.

Self-development in tiny steps(RU) — how you can start achieving your best condition in any sphere by tiny small steps, without "I'll be a millionaire in 2 days".

I’m trying to get away from all “zoomers” habits and this two guys tell about motivation, discipline and meditation, found it useful.

The first 20 hours — how to learn anything. Good talk about studying something from the beginning and not being afraid of it. Don’t be afraid of asking stupid questions, don’t be afraid of being a little bit fool in the beginning of your journey.

As long as I remember myself I was not that kind of guy who gives an extra motivation vibes, trying to sell you something etc. And I also did not swallow all this fancy motivational stuff. But there are a short list of japanese videos that helps me sometimes to piece my thoughts toogether and keep pushing.

This is one on them.

About being a good leader but not in general, not about speaking, more about doing.

I’ve been having a lot interviews during my employment process and came up with this question. When you are already finished with AA and design sections and having interviews with team-leaders to select the particular team, does hr have to tell you team’s feedback as soon as team had given it or have to wait untill you passed all interviews.

When I passed the first interview I was exhausted and tired and the day after hr came ans said “Unfortunately they didn’t want you” and after that I was demotivated even more. I had to piece all my feelings and thoughts together and pass the rest of the interviews. It was hard and I started thinking that It’s better to tell afterwards.

What do you think? *Comments are opened.

Productivity again — how to learn everything effectively. She says a lot of common things that I use everyday. The importance that this article helps us to list out this “tricks”. Disclaimer: she says a lot of things from the humanitarian point of view, keep that in mind.

✔ Losing a job at Google is even harder than getting there. Perhaps this is one of the reasons for the complicated hiring process. If an employee fails to do well, they are first interviewed, then offered help, including psychological help, and if that doesn't work either, an assistant is assigned, and only then, if all is not well, they are fired.

But the layoffs...

Another lecture about speaking: How to Start a Speech

Don't mess with this "fancy stuff"

I like to try my hand at anything that appeals to me in any way. I have tried many different hobbies in my life, from swimming to writing music. Some hobbies I've stayed with, some I've abandoned. But after many years, I realized one big mistake I've always made. When you start something, you just try and get to some minimal baseline where you can already do something. The next thing that happens is that I want better swim trunks, better equipment, more time, better people around me. This is the main mistake! It is clear that wanting something better is important and especially wanting a cooler environment is a good desire. But you should not dwell on this "desire". You should just do it, all the time. Recently I started to study music more seriously and I had a dialog with my old friend:
-- How's your music going?
-- Yeah, I'm writing a little bit, but I'd like to get a midi and speakers and .....
-- And what for?
-- Well, to make my writing cooler.
-- Pasha wrote all his great albums on a half-broken laptop, why do you need all that stuff?
And then I realized.

The point is, you should just do it. You like to write music, write music, not wait until you buy a cooler keyboard and a more expensive guitar. You like to swim, swim. You like to run, run. It's clear that everywhere you can equip yourself with something cool and fancy equipment. But real happiness and success comes from consistent and regular work.
