At the gas station, you can again buy alcohol, Sberbank and the Central Bank compete for the biometric data of Russians, and in “Russian norms!” - New hero

Why will alcohol be returned to gas stations? Details - in the mailing room The Bell

The government compensates the oil industry workers to freeze fuel prices: they will again be allowed to sell weak alcohol at gas stations and will give subsidies to further contain gas prices.

• In order to limit the increase in gas prices, the government is ready to allow oil workers to trade alcohol at gas stations again. Since 2011, it is forbidden to do this, but all relevant departments, except the Ministry of Health, believe that the sale of beer and wine at gas stations can be returned. The decision was already approved by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak, and recognized Vedomosti.
• This is a clear curtsy towards large oil companies, which in the spring had to freeze prices for their gas stations, after the gasoline has risen more than 7.3%in January -May. “45 rubles a liter of diesel fuel. How much can it be tolerated? It’s impossible, stop it somehow, ”the driver Alexei Karavaev from St. Petersburg was indignant in June on a straight line with Vladimir Putin. Since then, oil industry workers have been kept and do not increase prices, in return the government urgently reduced excise taxes on gasoline and diesel and abandoned their planned increase in July.
• The senator from the Astrakhan region Gennady orders offered to return the sale of alcohol with a fortress of up to 16.5% at the gas station. In his amendments, he wrote that the number of accidents involving drunk drivers after the introduction of a ban on such trade did not decrease: in 2010 there were 11,800 such accidents, in 2015-16,000.
• Return to the sale of alcohol is good news for oil workers: in the world of gas stations they receive most of the profit from the sale of related goods, Lukoil from non -fuel products cover 33% of the operational expenses of gas stations, by 2027 the company wants to bring this share to 80%.
• But alcohol is not the only guarantee that there will be no sharp jumps in gas prices in the near future. The main thing is a scheme for subsidizing fuel prices, which next year will give oil workers about 600 billion rubles (though about 110 billion rubles, it seems that they will have to return to the budget in the form of additional taxes).

What am I to me?

The holding of gas prices (most of the incomes falling out of the oil industry is compensated for from the budget), including consumers, buying beer and coffee at gas stations. And in the moment, the gas stations independent of oil companies are most affected .

"Russian norms!"

What can be in common with the financier and dating service? Victor Remsha, whose fortune is approaching a billion dollars, could remain a boring investor in the action. But 12 years ago, he invested money in the Badoo startup, and now on his conscience tens of millions of dating per year. Now Victor lives in New York and invests in financial startups. They must blow up the banking industry, which, in his opinion, works completely wrong. See the interview with remoshi in the new issue of the Russian Norms project!

Competition for biometrics

Sberbank Rastens with the Central Bank creates its own platform for the collection of biometric data of Russians. Bank customers this week began to receive offers to hand over a sample of voice-in order to “confirm the identity faster and safer” when calling the call center. Before taking the cast of the voice, the client signs the consent to the processing of other personal data - images of the face, drawings of the vessels of the palm, fingerprints, etc. For Sberbank, this is the beginning of the “grandiose plan”, Writes Vedomosti and Reuters with reference to its sources: it is going to create its own biometric platform, which will compete with the created Central Bank and Rostelecom of the Unified Biometric System (EBS). When registering his customers in the EBS, Sberbank, in fact, would have to share his huge customer base with competitors, but he clearly did not want to do this.

How a new Russian aircraft is being built

The most ambitious program of the Russian aircraft industry-the creation of the MS-21 average seamage aircraft-was an audit in the Accounts Chamber. The results are disappointing, Kommersant writes : the total project budget grew to a record 438 billion rubles, the duration of the creation of the aircraft increased by seven years (until 2025), and the start of sales was transferred by three years in advance - for 2019. In its importance, MS-21 “equated with the presidential project”, and even if he needs additional funds, they will find, says the source of the publication in the government apparatus.

PRACTICE

Friends through the bot

Employed Russians-residents of large cities-almost do not have time to communicate with old friends and there is absolutely no time to start new ones, the founders of Friendzone.bot in Telegram realized when they organized scientpop-lectures: like-minded people gather together, but many are even afraid to approach each other. So the idea of ​​joint games organized through a bot in Telegram appeared - so that adults can get acquainted and make friends. Participants pay for a ticket for a game that lasts several days or weeks, 3500-6000 rubles. During this time, participants, both in the team and personally, perform various tasks (some suggest personal meetings), after which the results are discussing in the chat. Such a model is favorably different from dating sites - this is not a search for sexual partners, but a combination of like -minded people who can subsequently become close friends. The idea “soared” : Friendzone.bot has several dozen games created after consultations with psychologists, and several million revenues for 2018, which allowed the founders to leave their main work and focus on the project.

Uber brought

“There were days when I walked along Nizhny Manhattan and thought that it would be better if I was knocked down by a car and I lay in the hospital for a week than I went to work,” Uber from Trevis Kalanik was, to put it mildly, not the most pleasant place to work. The author of the quote, the top manager Andrew Chaplin worked in the company from 2011 to 2016 and, despite the obvious increased anxiety and stress, refused psychological assistance-primarily because of the high cost and large number of concomitant troubles and time of time. After leaving Uber, he had the idea of ​​a startup “quick and cheap” psychological assistance to Basis. The project was launched a few days ago, at the start it attracted $ 3.5 million from investors led by Bedrock. This is a service that provides a 45-minute consultation for $ 35. The service employees have a specialized education, but there is no license - they do not make diagnoses and do not prescribe recipes, but they can provide psychological assistance in matters of work, communication, finance and education.
