В прошлом посте мы рассказали, почему при живых VPN-сервисах и AmneziaWG всё равно есть смысл строить отдельную децентрализованную сеть. Но у любого подобного инструмента - нашего или чужого - имеет смысл сразу проговаривать не только что он делает, но и чего он не гарантирует. Переоценивать инструмент обхода блокировок - плохая идея. Человек, уверенный, что инструмент решает за него все смежные проблемы, обычно перестаёт думать про эти проблемы вообще.

Users need discretionary income of nearly £100,000 a year to make savings on their grocery spend after paying £1,200 for GLP-1s, analysis finds

The high cost of weight-loss medication is a “regressive tax on being thin” because the outlay outweighs any saving on food costs for all but the highest earners.

Someone needs to have discretionary income of nearly £100,000 a year to actually save money after covering the £1,200 annual cost of GLP-1 medication, according to an analysis by the consultancy Baringa.

Australia’s first case of the deadly H5 bird flu in a little penguin has been confirmed on Victoria’s Phillip Island, only days after the state government announced it would begin vaccinating the species.

Confirmation of the virus in the little penguin will spark a race to vaccinate thousands of birds, with the government announcing on Saturday it would begin the rollout on Monday.

They rule the roads and, in their wake, even old-style saloons have been supersized. It’s an illusion of consumer choice

Recently, while traipsing from showroom to showroom in search of a used car for my growing clan, the iconic line from Christopher Nolan’s seminal Batman movie The Dark Knight came to mind: “You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” And by villain, of course, I mean an SUV driver.

Because, if you haven’t shopped for a secondhand family car recently, I’ll save you the shock: wherever you look, it’s SUVs.

Rescue services search for survivors and bodies after airstrikes hit homes in Ansar and Deir al-Zahrani

Eleven people have been killed, including three children, and 19 injured in two Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon, the worst toll since deals in June brought a lull in hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah.

Israeli warplanes bombed a home on the outskirts of the village of Ansar, killing seven people and flattening the building early on Saturday morning. Rescue services were working at the site to try to find survivors and locate bodies.

Привет, Хабр! На связи финалист ICPC и гроссмейстер codeforces MachineSolution. В прошлой своей статье я писал о том, как подготовиться к соревнованию. Но что делать, если время подготовки прошло, как писать саму олимпиаду? “Просто бери и решай задачи” - скажет кто-то, но будет прав лишь отчасти. У некоторых соревнований есть свои особенности и, как следствие, особые стратегии написания. И заключительный этап всероссийской олимпиады школьников по информатике не лишён своих отличительных черт.

Всероссийская олимпиада школьников по праву считается мерилом олимпиадных способностей школьников и, хотя взять диплом даже регионального этапа ВсОШ дано не каждому, всероссом называют именно заключительный этап и готовятся к нему. Мало кто из сильных олимпиадников не хочет “взять всеросс” - то есть выиграть диплом призёра заключительного этапа. Помимо поступления в любой ВУЗ без экзаменов он сам по себе является ценной наградой и подтверждением своих способностей и признания результата долгих тренировок. Более того, не так много людей стремятся к диплому победителя - настолько сложно и почётно в этой олимпиаде стать хотя бы призёром! Заветные дипломы по информатике каждый год получают всего 200-300 человек из миллионов школьников. Моя история с этой олимпиадой не самая сказочная - в свои школьные годы я пожертвовал подготовкой к информатике ради подготовки к математике. Да, в итоге я занял 7 место на финале математики и почти стал победителем, но на информатике выступил, мягко говоря, ужасно - даже не близко к призёрам. Поэтому мне стало интересно написать зеркало ВсОШ по информатике за 2026 год, чтобы проверить, как сильно я вырос в олимпиадах и на что способен.

Conservative authority says site is not safe for vulnerable people charity serves or general public

Westminster council is making it “impossible” for soup kitchens to operate by complaining about the “crowds of vulnerable people” who turn up to be fed, a charity has said.

Steven Stuart, who founded Friends of Essex & London Homeless (FOELH) with his wife, Cheryl, a decade ago, said constant complaints from the council could force the soup kitchen to shut down.

From a 500-year-old inn in the Italian Dolomites to a log cabin in Finland’s lake district, these boltholes offer a tranquil and restorative getaway

There is dignity and tenderness to this drama based on the real story of the Sixties Scoop – the scandal of First Nations children who were forcibly taken from their parents and adopted by white families

Here’s one you’ll like: a man comes home to find his wife handcuffed to the wall and his young children missing. They have been taken by child protection services due to the lack of a fridge in the house, which is treated as a sign of neglect. When he confronts law enforcement officials outside, they beat him to death. Decades later, one of the children, now adopted into a Jewish home in Montreal, goes looking for the family she lost, risking the collapse of her new life to do so. I never said it was a joke. Although it turns out there was a fridge, behind the house.

Watching Little Bird (18 August, 9pm, Sky Atlantic), I was reminded that TV is capable of more than mere entertainment, something we lose sight of when we think of it as a purely profit-or loss-making enterprise. I felt the visceral anger and sadness of this story of a First Nations woman caught between cultures, robbed by forces beyond her control and stonewalled by the authorities. Set in Canada, the attitude, if not the events, feel shamefully familiar.

The 21-year-old has seen Oasis for free; earned tickets to race days; made money from selling secondhand clothes (£200 in one weekend alone); and enjoyed cut-price treats with friends.

Yorkshire common was thought to be the only known site of dark bordered beauty moths in England – until now

• Vote here for your favourite invertebrate of the year

Dave Wainwright first surveyed Wallington in Northumberland for a rare custard-and-chocolate coloured moth in 2004. He parked two miles from the site, hauled a moth trap across, and was bitten by a million flies.

He did not find a single dark bordered beauty that night. The ground was heavily grazed by sheep, and the creeping willow the caterpillars depend on was “quite well plucked”.

Published for the first time this month, the Irish writer’s record of his months in pre-war Germany is a fascinating insight into his understanding of, and unease with, Nazism

War was not yet on the immediate horizon when Samuel Beckett visited the German city of Hamburg in October 1936, but after watching the apoplexy that Adolf Hitler’s braying induced in ordinary Germans, the Irish playwright was certain that peace could not last. “They’ll need to fight soon (or burst),” he noted in his diary on 6 October.

The six notebooks that Beckett compiled during his six-month journey across Germany between late September 1936 and April 1937, published for the first time by German publisher Suhrkamp on 20 August this year, put paid to a commonly held view of the author of Waiting for Godot as a poet of pure pessimism, interested in despair and stasis but unconcerned by real-life politics.

The stark figures show that since the hardliners seized power in 2021, women have been erased from public life, poverty is forcing hopeless families to marry off their daughters and healthcare is on the brink of failure

‘I married off my daughter so that none of us would die of hunger.” Malika hesitated before saying the words aloud. The 46-year-old lives with her husband and four youngest children (three girls and a boy) in Chihil Dukhtarān, one of Kabul’s poorest neighbourhoods.

Poverty pushed the family to the brink before Malika and her husband made what they describe as the hardest decision of their lives: marrying off their eldest daughter, Maryam, for 200,000 afghanis (£2,270). She was still a teenager.

Стратегическое управление правами на интеллектуальную собственность, направленное на защиту собственных R&D инвестиций компании и минимизацию рисков, связанных с нарушением интеллектуальных прав третьих лиц, требует несколько более комплексного подхода, чем реализация частных мер по анализу патентной чистоты. Так, Nippon Steel, неоднократно удостоенная награды Thomson Reuters Top 100 Global Innovator Award, присваиваемой по совокупной оценке ряда количественных и качественных характеристик патентного портфеля, рассматривает стратегию в отношении интеллектуальной собственности как одну из трех ключевых стратегий компании, на одном уровне с бизнес-стратегией и R&D стратегией.

Аналогичной позиции придерживаются многие японские корпорации, пережившие в 1980-х гг. тяжелый период борьбы с американскими компаниями в плоскости интеллектуальных прав. Многочисленные суды, многомиллионные компенсации и ограничения поставок на развитые рынки — цена отсутствия стратегии в области интеллектуальной собственности для компаний, претендующих на международную конкурентоспособность. Вслед за японцами и, как в случае с POSCO, наученные спорами уже с японскими корпорациями, учились развивать комплексное управление интеллектуальной собственностью компании из других азиатских стран.
