Инвестиции. Задаешь неудобные вопросы — теряешь друзей

Задавать неудобные вопросы очень хороший способ понять, человек хочет занять твое время или действительно пришел за советом. Но надо помнить, что неудобные вопросы и самому себе нужно задавать, а то происходит замыливание.Однако, когда меня спрашивают, "ты же инвестор, че лучше?

[Перевод] 4 научных доказательства того, что люди реально высаживались на Луну

С запуском «Артемиды-2» в апреле 2026 года человечество возобновило историческую традицию, заложенную в конце 1960-х — начале 1970-х годов: мы снова возвращаемся к Луне. С прошлой высадки прошло больше полувека. В эпоху «Аполлона» лишь 24 человека летали в окрестности Луны, удаляясь от Земли на сотни тысяч километров. Двенадцать из них в ходе шести миссий действительно ступили на лунную поверхность. За это время на Луне осталось множество артефактов: флаги, фотографии, сейсмометры,... Read more
