Наверное, это не совсем завтрак, поскольку 1 января семья собирается к столу довольно поздно, но, тем не менее, у нас есть традиции и их надо соблюдать. Поскольку семья происходит из Баку (я так вообще там родился), у нас родилась традиция есть 1 января хаш — это фактически густой бульон из говяжьих ножек, которые варятся в течение нескольких часов, пока мясо не вываривается до состояния желе и не сваливается практически с костей. Настоящие армяне обижаются, когда хаш называешь настоящим бакинским блюдом, н... →

Вот уже более 20 лет я каждый год пишу завершающий старый год пост — и с каждым годом всё меньше желания что-то подводить и что-то предсказывать. Хорошо, что уходящий год не оправдал одни страшные ожидания, плохо, что некоторые страхи оправдались с лихвой. С годами всё больше понимаешь мудрость Екклезиаста и спокойнее относишься ко всякой суете (вот только эти олени на дорогах сильно раздражают). Пожелаю всем, кто это прочтёт, методично и последовательно делать своё дело, понимать и видеть эффект своих дейс... →

Not every startup collapse is an FTX or Theranos. They don’t all burn so brightly and explode so spectacularly. More often than not, there won’t be some high-profile court case and prison time. Amanda Seyfried isn’t going to play you in the made for Hulu movie. The story of most startup failures is far less […] © 2023 TechCrunch. All rights reserved. For personal use only.... →
