Speaking of mute/unmute I've not yet found a way to get Google Hangouts (same thing as Meet?) to play nice in situations where simultaneous interpretation is involved. Our company works in Japanese and English and we typically have a second meeting running in parallel for interpretation. This setup almost works, I say almost because I've yet to find a way of muting the audio in one meeting so I can properly listen to the other. I can't leave the first meeting either because often I'll also want to see the presentation slides. Currently I'm working around this by muting my MacBook and joining the second meeting on my phone.

Perhaps I'm missing something obvious (or a Chrome plugin that will allow me to mute based on the page URL rather than site). In the unlikely event that a Googler is reading this I'm not asking for yet another product or complicated new piece of functionality aimed at this specific use case. Just a mute button for audio. Thanks!

Right click on the tab -> "Mute site".

It works for me for Chromium on Ubuntu.

How about a service to take things OUT of the house. eg I have some metal waste - take that to a metal recycler. Used beverage cans (with deposit) to a charity.

In Brazil we have this http://www.cataki.org/ (pt-br) an app that connects waste pickers to people who want to dispose reusable or recyclable materials.

According to this site 800,000 waste pickers in the country and 300 registered on the service.

PostgreSQL, not Postgres.

FWIW: "The name Postgres is an accepted alias for the PostgreSQL project. However it is an alias or nickname and is not the official name of the project."

Are there any good resources you'd recommend on learning how to effectively work with/search graphs?

If you want some Graph Theory challenges to solve there is a track at HackeRank

This reminds me of Orwell's "Politics and the English Language"[1].

A timeless work about language misuse in Politics.

I live in a neighbor city of São Paulo city, Brazil.

I have a 2hrs+ commute , 4hrs+ a day. I take a train (~1hr), a subway(~30min) and another train(~30min), I work next to train station.

The train use to be crowded with no seats to take. I try to make the travel as pleasant and productive as I can, I read news and books - almost finishing Uncle Bob's "Clean Code" -, listen to podcasts and music, watch movies etc..

I am SW developer in a big electronics vendor, we are not allowed to work from home, I lived some time in São Paulo during graduation and working full time, but it was expensive and lonely for me, I live with my parents and near of all my relatives now, but I am thinking to move back soon.

We have no many jobs in my city, so even people that no have skilled jobs use to have long commutes.

Why do they need to use Google Analytics and hand information over to a third party instead of using something hosted?

I get that there may be money involved, but presumably self-hosting also gives them more of the information to build out what they need.
