Firm calls charges, which include violating state gambling ban and profiting from illegal activity, ‘crazy overreach’

Utah on Wednesday filed criminal charges against prediction market operator Kalshi and two of its executives, months after a federal judge rejected Kalshi’s effort to prevent Utah from enforcing its strict anti-gambling laws against the activity.

The felony charges could represent a new tactic in how states try to assert regulatory authority over the fast-expanding activity, a clash that appears headed to a showdown at the US supreme court.

Архитектура 1С для новичков: Строим первую внешнюю обработку и клиент-серверный мост. Часть вторая

В первой части мы разобрались, почему сервер 1С «слеп» к файлам на вашем диске C: , и подготовили поле ввода для пути к файлу. Пользователь нажал на заветные три точки ... и выбрал документ. Путь к файлу мы научились делать за 3 шага. Что дальше? Теперь нам нужна большая, красивая кнопка, которая заставит этот файл оторваться от вашего компьютера, улететь на сервер, превратиться там в данные базы и вернуть нам красивое окошко с сообщением. Давайте по шагам разберем, как спроектировать это и запустить клиент-серверный мост.

Шаг 4. Создаем кнопку действия «Выполнить загрузку». Просто нарисовать кнопку на экране мало — нужно объяснить платформе, что должно произойти при клике.

В редакторе формы нашей внешней обработки переходим на вкладку Команды (она находится в правом верхнем окне, прямо рядом с «Реквизитами»). Нажимаем зелёный плюс «Добавить» и называем нашу команду просто и понятно: Загрузить. Берем эту команду мышкой и перетаскиваем в левое верхнее окно Элементы, прямо под наше поле с путем к файлу.

На форме появится кнопка. Выделите её, откройте свойства (Alt + Enter) и в поле Заголовок укажите текст, который увидит пользователь: Загрузить.

Шаг 5. Выбор типа обработчика события. Теперь необходимо связать созданную команду с программным кодом. В свойствах команды найдите строку Действие и нажмите на пиктограмму с лупой. Платформа откроет диалоговое окно выбора. Из предложенного списка необходимо выбрать пункт: «Создать на клиенте и процедуру на сервере без контекста».

Давайте разберем, почему платформа предлагает разделение и почему выбор директивы «без контекста» (&НаСервереБезКонтекста) является наиболее правильным.

After two years of protests, a student-led movement has defeated Serbia’s authoritarian leader, Aleksander Vučić, at the ballot box. But can a leaderless movement govern a country? Send your comments and questions to tif.questions@theguardian.com

Serbia’s political landscape has been upended. On Sunday, record numbers of people went to the polls and voted to end the 12-year rule of Aleksandar Vučić. And who did they back instead? A list of candidates, half of whom have PhDs, put forward by student activists whose protests have rocked the Balkan country for the past two years.

Helen Pidd speaks to the Serbian-American journalist Ana Milosavljevic, the student activist Tara Blagojević and the MP-to-be Milica Jovanović about how the Student List managed to defeat Vučić’s increasingly authoritarian regime.

Привет, Хабр. Меня зовут Любовь Вайгель. Я системный аналитик в СберЗдоровье — MedTech-компании №1 в России.

Во многих сценариях, сталкиваясь со снижением скорости ответа системы, компании приходят к необходимости внедрения кэша и довольно быстро реализуют кэширование на уровне технологий. Но правда в том, что кэширование, которое часто воспринимают как простой тактический приём для ускорения работы приложения, на практике может сильно изменить свойства системы: согласованность данных, поведение при сбоях, требования к актуальности и доступности информации. Поэтому для системного аналитика важно четко понимать, что мы кэшируем, зачем, на каких условиях и как это будет отражено в требованиях.

В этой статье я разберу пять неочевидных истин о кэшировании, которые часто остаются «за кадром», и покажу, как они влияют на работу системного аналитика.

Ukraine war briefing: Oleshky truce holding and demining under way to enable humanitarian corridor, Kyiv says
Published: 2026-10-29 01:48:26 | Created: 2026-10-29 01:52:59

No reported incidents in 30 hours in the occupied Ukrainian city. What we know on day 1,709

A local ceasefire in southern Ukraine was holding for a second day, both sides said on Wednesday, as hopes grew that vital aid would be able to reach stranded residents. An estimated 2,000 people remain in the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky in the Kherson region amid food and medical shortages and reports many people are now starving and eating weeds. The human rights ombudsmen of both Russia and Ukraine said on Wednesday the US-brokered truce – which came into effect early on Tuesday morning – was still holding. “30 hours of the ceasefire in Oleshky have passed without a single incident,” Ukraine’s Dmytro Lubinets said. “No incidents have been recorded in the 30 hours of the ceasefire in Oleshky,” Russia’s Yana Lantratova said in a similarly worded statement. The ceasefire would be guaranteed by “the physical presence of both ombudsmen: Ukrainian and Russian” on the ground, Lubinets’s office said. Route demining was “currently under way”, Lubinets said on social media, describing it as “crucial step toward ensuring the safe delivery of humanitarian aid and enabling civilians who wish to leave the city”.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that since the ceasefire came into force, there had been “no massive attacks” on the regional capital of Kherson, where about 280,000 people lived before Russia’s invasion. “We’re happy even when we have two, three days for these people. You know, some ceasefire is great, you can see them in the streets,” the Ukrainian president told reporters in The Hague. The truce would be a “huge success” if the evacuation of Oleshky’s citizens went ahead as planned, he said.

The timing of the next round of three-way ⁠talks on a settlement of the Ukraine conflict is linked to the conflict in the Middle East, a Kremlin foreign policy aide has said, casting doubt on whether the talks will take place next month as initially proposed. Yuri Ushakov, quoted by Russian news ⁠agencies, said Moscow had not yet proposed a specific date for the talks. “It will ​also depend on the situation ‌on the battlefield and the ‌situation in general. You can see the situation now in the Middle East. It ‌just doesn’t allow us to hold it in the near future. That’s my assumption,” he told journalists on Wednesday. Zelenskyy said on Wednesday he hoped a meeting would take place in Abu Dhabi between 6 and 10 November.

Vladimir Putin praised Elon Musk’s “genius” and said he was in touch with Starlink’s controlling shareholder as Russia develops its own satellite communications for its military to use against Ukraine, reports Dan Sabbagh. The Russian president, speaking at a summit with African leaders in Moscow, was comparing the Earth-orbiting network built by Musk’s SpaceX with Russia’s gradual efforts to build its own Rassvet constellation. “Elon Musk is a genius, a true genius,” the Tass news agency quoted the Russian leader as saying.

The Netherlands will supply Ukraine with €500m ($557m/£418m) ⁠in military support ⁠this ​winter, the Dutch prime minister said. The support ⁠would be used to supply drones and other material to ⁠strengthen Ukraine’s defence, Rob Jetten said ​after meeting Zelenskyy in The Hague. Earlier on ‌Wednesday, the Dutch government announced it would give Kyiv €1.2bn in non-military support in the next three years. Part of the money would be used for funds that supported ⁠Dutch companies willing to invest in the ​rebuilding ​of Ukraine.

Russian authorities have issued permits for ⁠vessels carrying grain for export to leave the Sea of Azov for the first time since 10 July, ⁠when they closed maritime ⁠traffic ​in the area due to Ukrainian drone attacks, Reuters quoted seven industry sources as saying. They said permits to pass ⁠through the Kerch Strait, which links the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea, would be issued for the period ⁠to 15 November.
