Hi, I'm Rauf Aliev.

I don’t quite get it. He was banned from holding executive positions for eight years, and that’s exactly how long they locked him up for. Now the court has scratched it out. Will he return to his cell with new ambitions and rights? Is there a chance he’ll rise in the prison hierarchy?

Today, hybris 6.7 was released. And I quickly did a review of the new features.

I’m so delighted by Amazon’s packaging of the product) the product – nice and white

End of the workday. Two HRs, an old one and a young one, are sitting. The old one says:

— Well, I’m done. Shall we go home?

The young one, looking at a stack of unprocessed resumes:

— I still have tons of work left.

The old one approaches, divides the stack in two, and throws one half into the trash bin. The young one exclaims:

— How could you?!

The old one replies:

— They weren’t lucky. Why do we need losers?

Buying dollars is always beneficial. It’s just that sometimes you need to muster more patience http://kreditorpro.ru/pochemu-dollar-vsegda-dorozhe-rublya/

In the long term, the dollar has never depreciated against the ruble. I mean, literally never — just grew. Over 100 years since the establishment of the Federal Reserve, the US dollar has devalued 20 times, whereas over 100 years since the beginning of World War I and the victory of the communists in the civil war, the ruble has devalued more than 1,000,000,000 times.

Hey, once upon a time I imagined myself as a designer and drew logos 😎 🙂 this one was for a project with a comrade, about 10 years after I stopped being a designer, because it wasn’t my thing. That was back when the game Wordrive was released.

I hate it when I can’t find something I learned about long ago and wrote about in my blog. Yesterday, while visiting @[100004459206643:2048:Vitalii Menshutin] and @[100004030638843:2048:Oksana Menshutina], I recalled a book, but only managed to find details about it just now. So, Life. A User Manual by the same author who wrote “A Void” without a single letter “e” (in the original French; the Russian translation has no letter “o”). Thus, about the book “Life, A User’s Manual”.

The entire book is a description of a residential building in Paris. 99 chapters, one for each apartment. 1467 characters. Theoretically, you can start reading from any point (the author suggests following the order). The composition of the novel follows a strict plan. For example, the sequence of descriptions corresponds to the moves of a knight in chess, and situations, objects, colors are arranged according to combinatorial rules. There is a character who goes through the entire novel.

By the way, about “A Void” – here are some interesting reminiscences of the translator: http://magazines.russ.ru/nlo/2010/106/ki26.html

Found some Jules Verne to read

Interesting, these are retractable bleachers in the gym. School

Just curious: are Russian public services like Mail.Ru or Yandex planning to support GDPR? From May 2018, the accountability for violating personal data processing rules will tighten for services that handle personal data of EU residents and citizens, regardless of location. Under GDPR, fines can reach 20 million euros (about 1.5 billion rubles) or 4% of the company’s annual global revenue. Essentially, large Russian services have two options: either tell EU citizens that they are no longer clients (which, probably, is painless, but must be done), or comply with the requirements. I think that public companies with ambitions should choose the latter. But somehow a search on the net shows no movements in this direction. Or am I searching poorly?

For example, under GDPR requirements, you must have the ability to download all the data that the service has accumulated about you. On Facebook, for instance, this has been possible for a long time (https://www.facebook.com/help/131112897028467). And on Google as well (https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout). And Microsoft (https://account.microsoft.com/privacy/activity-history)

Theoretically, Russian services might not comply with this at all, since they are not in the EU, but then existing and future EU customers must be left out. However, you can register on both Yandex and Mail with an American or European phone number from the US and Europe.

Many also make a show of compliance, which suits the EU. Like, they ask if I mind them using cookies, having already used them by that point 🙂 But what’s strange is I don’t see any effort from Russian services, from Telegram to Mail. Or am I searching poorly?
