Какой VPN работает в России — надоело искать ответ, собрал каталог с голосованием

Меня зацепила одна штука. Тот VPN, который у меня нормально работал ещё зимой, к марту перестал коннектиться вообще. У знакомого работает. У него МегаФон, у меня МТС.Это повторяется каждые пару недель: статус «работает или нет» зависит от оператора, от региона, от часа суток. У одного и того же сервиса. Я держу маленький Telegram-чат, где помогаю людям с настройкой ключей. Самый частый вопрос там уже почти год не «как настроить», а... Read more

Psychology says the people who come across as genuinely disciplined aren’t grinding through willpower or running on motivation, they’re the ones who quietly removed the decisions from their day a long time ago, and what looks like iron self-control from the outside is just a life designed so the hard choice rarely shows up

There’s a person in your life who seems to have it all figured out. They wake up early without drama, they exercise consistently, they eat well, they don’t seem to spiral when things get hard. You’ve probably wondered what their secret is. More willpower than you? Some rare genetic gift for self-control? Here’s what psychology ... Read more Read more

This “necking” process marks an advanced stage of rifting that could eventually lead to a new ocean forming millions of years from now.

Кибернетика: где сломалась наука об управлении

Так появилась кибернетика - наука, от которой сегодня остались лишь небольшие лингвистические артефакты. В этой статье мы исследует основную проблематику управления, проследим тот путь, которым кибернетика прошла от «новой наде Read more
