I wonder why there aren’t places where there is one of every product with an open box and, if necessary, set up/ready for testing? From these places, you could order these products for delivery. It’s important that you could compare them on-site with similar products, hold them in your hands. On a laptop, listen to the sound quality and the brightness of the colors. Test different headphones. And online stores would pay these centers a pittance for customers. Why isn’t there such a thing?

Very sound advice and points. Social networks should really think about how to integrate this into their service. By the way, why haven’t social networks introduced something like a credit score for users yet? It would take around five years to fine-tune the mechanism and protect against manipulations, but isn’t it time to start?

An interesting lecture by Elena Sudarikova @[100001842553860:2048:Elena Sudarikova] on molecular biology – genes, the genome, cellular apoptosis, and how all this is connected with the aging process and, eventually, the death of an organism. Very interesting, well-explained, and easy to understand. Highly recommend.

For those who upgraded to iOS14, try pressing play at the top of https://firigames.com/phoenix2 These are so-called app clips – one-time use applications launched right from the browser on your phone. It’s interesting to see if various coffee shops and other non-game developers will pick this up.
Even with a locked phone, you just bring it close to an NFC tag or scan a QR code, and the application launches immediately. The applications can deliver push notifications to the phone for 8 hours after launching. Apple Pay is supported, so you can pay for your coffee with just one click.

Today at the Russian post office, my mom was turned away with dietary supplements – apparently, that’s not allowed. I found a complete list. Interestingly, here’s what you cannot send to the USA:
– printed materials on the topic of abortions
– cosmetics
– offensive shipments
– advertisements or circulars regarding lotteries
– postage stamps and vignettes of any value, as well as imitations of used and unused postage stamps
– diagnostic tools
– items of any kind violating U.S. copyright laws
– items made by prisoners
It’s forbidden to ship live and dead animals, but interestingly, there’s an exception for bees, leeches, and silkworms.
Complete list:
All alcoholic beverages and intoxicating substances; contraceptives or devices intended for abortion, as well as printed materials on this subject; fish, fruits, and vegetables that spoil quickly, as well as substances that emit foul smells; live or dead animals (except bees, leeches or silkworms); medicines, therapeutic and cosmetic products; animal products; plants and plant products; weapons, including knives with automatically opening blades; ammunition; explosives or flammable substances; matches; agricultural products (coffee, cotton, fresh fruits, vegetables, grain, seedlings, lentils, nuts, cones, acorns, chestnuts, seeds, silage, oils, sugar, cereals, tobacco and tobacco products); offensive shipments; narcotic substances (opium, morphine, cocaine, and other drugs); tickets, announcements or circulars regarding lotteries; lotteries; imitations of checks and stocks, used and unused postage stamps, coupons, bills, notes issued by the State Treasury, gold and silver certificates; postage stamps and vignettes of any value; furs and skins; bird feathers with skin; cosmetics; diagnostic tools; items of any kind violating U.S. copyright laws; items made by prisoners; radioactive substances.
