Last evening, Victor Romanovsky and I couldn’t just walk past the street band konnexion balkon. Those guys were really on fire. My phone died, here are the links from the web.

AC/DC came on between the 5th and 6th slide of the presentation at Hybris Summit 2015

Could you recommend a beer restaurant in downtown Munich with a _wide_ selection of beers and just overall excellence? Hofbräuhaus and the like are not necessary – we did that format yesterday 😉

Well, Aeroflot has lost my luggage. I don’t know yet if it’s for good or not. Should I wait for compensation?

What do you do if you are interviewing a person, and within 3 minutes after starting the conversation you realize that they are 100% not the right fit?

option 1) I say “thank you and goodbye” right away,

do you explain the reason?

option 2) For decency or something else, I still ask various questions for about 15-30 minutes, after which I say “thank you and goodbye”.

For decency or something else?

Masha got into Rainbow Loom – making bracelets from colorful elastic bands. She recently got sick, and with the help of YouTube, she learned a ton of ways to weave these rubber bands. Now my house is full of these rubber bands, but they are running out. To buy more, you can purchase a set of 600 pieces in Russia for 1600 rubles, or you can order from China – attention – for 2 dollars. For six dollars, you can buy a set of 4200 rubber bands weighing one and a half kilograms. Including shipping, it comes to 38 dollars, i.e., 2500 rubles per box. For five boxes, the shipping cost is already 130 dollars. It turns out that in the retail cost of Chinese rubber bands, 90-95% is “eaten up” by transport. If someone learned how to make them in Russia, they would become a millionaire.

Playing with a metronome is much nicer if you call it a drum machine instead. I really liked this one, but it’s a pity there’s no recording. http://www.onemotion.com/flash/drum-machine/

And it would be cool if you could switch the tempo and pattern with just one key. Does anyone know of anything good for Mac or something similar online?

(Question closed) I’ve been unable to find an answer on the internet for half an hour now regarding a simple question: the services of a private plumber in the area (this is urgent) + services of a private electrician in the area (not so urgent anymore). Bibirevo or North-Eastern Administrative District. Maybe someone could recommend specific individuals, or some specialized site with reviews and phone numbers.

What’s important: 1) I would like to save money by reaching out to a private individual instead of a company. Most of the results on Google or Yandex are companies. 2) I would like the person to live nearby 3) I would prefer not just anyone off the street, and I hope economizing does not lead to incompetence. Recommendations or online reviews are better than none.

Thanks for the recommendations: profi.ru, masterdel.ru, Yandex.Master

Sitting at Almaty airport, reading the news. “…Due to the devaluation of the Russian ruble, Kazakhstan plans to impose an embargo on the import of some Russian goods and restrict the import of others from Russia. Specifically, this includes oil products, cars, chicken, flour, and confectionery products..”

More than one person in Almaty has told me that crowds of Kazakhs are traveling to Russia for cars, appliances, and other costly goods. They are even organizing shopping tours now.

Example: In Almaty exchange bureaus, rubles are sold for 2.85 tenge (source: valuta.kz). My LG G3 D856 phone here costs from 117500 tenge to 129000 tenge (source: Yandex.Market). The cost of the phone in Moscow – 29900 rubles (same source) or 85215 tenge. So, ordering the phone from Russia is cheaper by 32000 tenge, which is 37% of its price in Russia.
