Folks, who knows – what are the actual chances of getting a US visa for my mom (72 years old), living in Moscow region? I am worried that after paying the visa fee, one might wait for an interview for six months. Secondly, I’m not sure about how the situation is with visas for retirees. I have a green card, and mom owns an apartment (it seems like both points could be important for the process).

My new article on Hybrismart.com. Today about “merging carts,” beautifully translated into Russian as merging carts by someone. Essentially, this is when you enter an online store with a cart of products and log in under your account, which already has its own cart from the day before yesterday. What to do? There are five options, I dissect them, explain how it’s done in SAP Commerce, and how it could be done better. In general, for those who love proper e-commerce.

A very cool popular lecture on particle physics by Dmitry Kazakov. It’s fresh, literally from the day before yesterday. I highly recommend it to everyone interested in how the world works. Despite its excessive “popularity”, which is dictated by the format of the Arché lectern, it’s very sensible. Watched for two hours without taking my eyes off it. If I had such physics in my childhood, I would not be working in e-commerce now. The next one will be on the first of March, and another one at the end of March.
