Почему российский бизнес проигрывает битву за информацию и как это исправить. Часть 3

Классическая картина для многих крупных российских компаний: рабочая группа из методологов, ИТ-архитекторов и приглашённых консультантов на несколько месяцев запирается в переговорных, чтобы создать «идеальный» регламент по управлению данными. На выходе появляется документ на 300–400 страниц: словарь из тысяч терминов, матрица ролей с десятками стюардов, пошаговые правила валидации и график заседаний совета по качеству данных на годы вперёд. Документ торжественно принимается, иногда даже переплетается в кож Read more

A new study suggests Earth may have been sending tiny hitchhikers to Venus for billions of years. Researchers found that asteroid impacts could launch microbes into space, where some might survive the journey and end up suspended in Venus' clouds. If future missions detect life there, there's a surprising chance it didn't originate on Venus at all—it may have come from Earth. Read more

A new study found that fructose and glucose may look the same on a nutrition label, but the brain treats them very differently. In mice, glucose strongly reduced activity in hunger-promoting brain cells, while fructose had a much weaker effect. High-fructose corn syrup triggered a stronger response and was preferred by the animals. The findings suggest that the type of sugar—not just the calories—can influence appetite and food preferences.

Scientists exploring ancient seafloor rocks in Morocco discovered mysterious wrinkle patterns where they were never expected to occur. These structures are normally linked to microbial mats in shallow, sunlit waters, yet the rocks formed hundreds of feet below the surface in darkness. Evidence indicates that chemosynthetic microbes created the wrinkles, revealing that deep-ocean microbial ecosystems may have been more widespread than previously thought. Read more
