«Прошивка тесно интегрирована с сервисами «Яндекса». Так, «домашний экран» системы представлен оболочкой «Яндекс.Shell», а для переноса контактов с других устройств используется служба «Яндекс.Переезд». В прошивку «встроены» приложения «Яндекса» — в частности, браузер и карты. Источником приложений выступает магазин «Яндекс.Store»; доступа в Google Play — штатный магазин Android — Yandex.Kit не предусматривает». • #желтая_стрелка - × × ×

«Для пользователей прошивки в магазине «Яндекс.Store» будет открыт «бонусный счет». На него будут перечисляться 10 процентов от суммы каждой покупки. Накопленные средства можно тратить на новые приложения». - × × ×

«Симон Кордонский: На мой взгляд, Россия уже никуда не движется триста лет. Как триста лет назад было прорублено окно в Европу, так с тех пор и идет перманентная имитация модернизации. У России очень странная ситуация с историческим временем. Обычно есть прошлое, по поводу которого могут быть разногласия, есть настоящее и планируемое будущее. В России другая ситуация, у людей нет согласия и единой позиции относительного того, в каком историческом времени они живут». - × × ×

"Yesterday Sam Altman published a short post containing his thoughts on Secret, and also anonymity in general—namely that it breeds meanness, and that anonymous social networks are destined to decay and grow worse over time. I strongly disagree. What I’ve observed is the opposite—that anonymity facilitates honest discourse, creates a level playing field for ideas to be heard, and enables creativity like none other." • #cтайность - × × ×

"The results themselves were not surprising. The most effective nootropics were caffeine – which pretty much everyone in the world knows works – and modafinil (along with its fellow -afinils) which has been proven to work by countless studies and is a prescription drug much used by the medical establishment. Below these two, the most effective “exotic” nootropics were phenylpiracetam and coluracetam. I suspect that despite the nootropic community’s enthusiasm about phenylpiracetam it mostly just works as a mild stimulant not too different from other stimulants like amphetamines. Coluracetam, a very new and pretty unique substance currently being investigated as an Alzheimer’s treatment, is more exciting." • #схватил_за_мозг - #ноотропы - #занимательная_медицина - × × ×

“Overall I was not too impressed with the results of this survey. No unexpected substances jumped out as promising, there was a very wide distribution from “useless” to “life-changing” in nearly everything except the -afinils, and it was very hard to find much of a dose-response relationship anywhere. There is no “smoking gun” for most these substances being definitely-exciting, aside from the ones like modafinil that we were already aware of.” - × × ×

“Stewart Butterfield cofounded Flickr with his wife and then launched a nonviolent MMO that gained a cult following. Today, he’s releasing Slack, a team messaging unifier and archiving app for Mac OS X which got this resounding tweet of approval from Marc Andreessen yesterday. For all his feats, he should be Internet famous. But unlike his other famous Flickr cofounders, Butterfield has been innovating under the radar, attempting to solve one of the hardest problems in business. So how did he get from Flickr to gaming to here?” - × × ×

"At the beginning of 2013 Kendra Albert set herself a very ambitious goal of reading five books a week. After tracking her reading by using Goodreads and writing short book reviews she realized that what she was reading wasn’t matching up to what she wanted to read. Watch her short talk with and the Q&A that follows to see how she used her tracking data to help her break out of her typical consumption pattern and include a more diverse set of authors." - × × ×

"I use http://www.ereaderiq.com/pricewa... also. It is awesome. 1. Add the books you want to watch to your Amazon wishlist. 2. Import your wishlist into eReaderIQ (when you click on your wishlist on Amazon the numbers in the web address are your wish list id. Just copy it to the box on eReaderIQ) Then when ever there is a price change they send you a email. It is where I go now to see what books are currently free. They have a much larger list of free books than I see on other sites." • #прокниги - × × ×

“Amazon is a global superstore, like Walmart. It’s also a hardware manufacturer, like Apple, and a utility, like Con Edison, and a video distributor, like Netflix, and a book publisher, like Random House, and a production studio, like Paramount, and a literary magazine, like The Paris Review, and a grocery deliverer, like FreshDirect, and someday it might be a package service, like U.P.S. Its founder and chief executive, Jeff Bezos, also owns a major newspaper, the Washington Post. All these streams and tributaries make Amazon something radically new in the history of American business. Sam Walton wanted merely to be the world’s biggest retailer. After Apple launched the iPod, Steve Jobs didn’t sign up pop stars for recording contracts. A.T. & T. doesn’t build transmission towers and rent them to smaller phone companies, the way Amazon Web Services provides server infrastructure for startups (not to mention the C.I.A.). Amazon’s identity and goals are never clear and always fluid, which makes the company destabilizing and intimidating.” • #прокниги - × × ×

"By 10pm, I was starving and out of ideas. I rounded up people for dinner, hoping to get a break from thinking about the project, but all we could talk about was how hopeless it was. How were we supposed to finish when the only approach was to flawlessly assemble thousands of parts without a single misstep? It was a tedious version of a deranged Atari game with no lives and no continues. Any mistake was fatal.” - × × ×

“A number of people resolved to restart from scratch; they decided to work in pairs to check each other’s work. I was too stubborn to start over and too inexperienced to know what else to try. After getting back to the lab, now half empty because so many people had given up, I resumed staring at my design, as if thinking about it for a third hour would reveal some additional insight. It didn’t. Nor did the fourth hour.” - × × ×

“I proceeded to apply the only tool I had: thinking really hard. That method, previously infallible, now yielded nothing but confusion because the project was too complex to visualize in its entirety. I tried thinking about the parts of the design separately, but that only revealed that the problem was in some interaction between the parts; I could see nothing wrong with each individual component. Thinking about the relationship between pieces was an exercise in frustration, a continual feeling that the solution was just out of reach, as concentrating on one part would push some other critical piece of knowledge out of my head. The following semester I would acquire enough experience in managing complexity and thinking about collections of components as black-box abstractions that I could reason about a design another order of magnitude more complicated without problems – but that was three long winter months of practice away, and this night I was at a loss for how to proceed.” - × × ×

“The “solution,” so it seems to me, is to simply put yourself to the test every once in a while in order to avoid habituation. The real enemy here is complacency—you needn’t feel guilty engaging with supernormal stimuli, but you should feel guilty if you never push yourself, or allow yourself to become a victim of your habits, instead of the person in the driver’s seat. C.S. Lewis has some insightful thoughts on this: Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is. After all, you find out the strength of the German army by fighting it, not by giving in. You find out the strength of the wind by trying to walk against it, not by lying down. A man who gives into temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later.” • #схватил_за_мозг - × × ×

"The Double Helix deal may fuel to the recent rumors that Amazon is preparing to release its own gaming console in the coming months. Last week, the video game industry blog VG247.com reported that Amazon is planning to launch an Android-powered “dedicated games and entertainment device this year priced below $300… [that] will compete directly with Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo.” Buzz about an Amazon console has been around for a while: This past summer, the rumor was that the company was planning to debut a Qualcomm-based console system. Amazon declined to comment on the console speculation when reached today." • #проигры - × × ×

«В Dream Industries начался очередной виток акционерного конфликта, который тянется уже больше года. На этот раз претензии ко всем акционерам предъявляет сама команда компании, которая работает над сервисами "Теории и практики", Bookmate и Zvooq. Денег у компании осталось на месяц работы, но ни менеджмент, ни враждующие акционеры не видят решения, которое бы позволило им разрешить кризис за это время». - × × ×

Очень грустно выглядит, когда акционеры не могут договориться, несмотря на то, что уже и покупатели были, и команды работают, и продукты нормальные. Печаль. - × × ×
