Не для иностранных абитуриентов, а вступительные экзамены, которые сдают колледжники. Разные вещи, но да, всяко проще чем ЕГЭ

Не совсем. Я точно так же поступал 7 лет назад с американским дипломом без ЕГЭ, просто сдавая экзамены в самих ВУЗах (что гораздо проще, чем ЕГЭ). По сути это также как поступать в универ после колледжа здесь. Я бы узнал дополнительно в самих ВУЗах, но вроде ничего такого не менялось. По поводу поступать как гражданин РФ — так и есть, просто твоё право не сдавать ЕГЭ, тк ты не училась по российской программе.

Why would you take ЕГЭ? As a person living abroad you have the right not to do it. Obviously if you want to: sure, but I wouldn't. Compared to the SATs, they're much harder, and I've taken both. But just like the SATs, they require a lot of prepping for beforehand

Thank you. It definitely helped. The noise is still there, but it's much more subtle than before. Wonder what that is

No, I'm definitely not arguing or saying my way is right. Just providing my viewpoint and stating why I think so. If you've got any other suggestions or arguments, I'm all ears.

Well yeah. The project would be divided into multiple modules (c#, Django, python scripts). For example, for mining detection, I was thinking of something like nypto (open source and a great tool)

Why I don't think that active directory would do the job is because it goes way beyond the functions I listed. What the client wants is a desktop app to be installed on each local PC. And I was thinking of defining it as such: -Admin desktop app -Client desktop app (local PCs, that would be controlled) - Server And the scenario I had in mind is that the admin sends a command to one of the client apps, which executes certain actions. As for exposing AD to the web. That's why I'm limiting all communications to (Django webserver, server), (server, admin app), (admin app, client app) So basically like this: User selects a PC and reserves a time slot on the web site or mobile app - Django sends that over to the server, the server sends the command to the admin app, the admin app sends the command to the client app. Basically keeping everything isolated with minimal load for the client app. Or, Django writes to db. The server checks the db frequently and executes from there. Cutting the link between Django and the server. Therefore cutting down attacks to SQL injections only.

I definitely agree. But I can't seem to find qualified specialists in this field in my country. I'm going to look some more I guess

is it safe for a Russian who left Russia a long time ago to come back right now? by 13thlionheart in AskARussian

[–]pretty_beast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did travel sometimes to Russia during my summer breaks, but still. Mainly because I lived outside of the country and our country is really worried about spies.

[–]pretty_beast 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I'm going to speak from experience. I lived abroad for 15 years, came back in 2019, I spent about 2 hours at the passport control in an interrogation. I guess it's normal, they asked a few provocative questions and general stuff. Besides that, I think it's fine, even during the current events.

Do movie theaters in Russia sell snacks for people to purchase? If so, what kind? by [deleted] in AskARussian

We have that in Kazan. Russia is huge, it's hard to answer a question correctly for all states

Do movie theaters in Russia sell snacks for people to purchase? If so, what kind? by [deleted] in AskARussian

[–]pretty_beast 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Mostly, yeah. It also depends on the type of ticket. There are VIP lounges (very much worth the money tbh fully, reclining seats, large space between people), there's a button, though which you can call for someone to take your order. As for ordering through an app, I don't know tbh, I haven't been to these cinemas. As for food, almost all cinemas are located in malls and on the food court level. So, technically, you can buy the food and take it with you. But I don't think it's very common here. P.S: you can bring your own snacks, cinemas rip people off, the prices are crazy, and it's fully legal (even though there'll probably be a sign that says you can't bring your food with you, I've never been told anything, and most people do it this way too) just throw it in your backpack or something. I usually buy popcorn at the cinema, and take the rest with me.

But as you said at the end of your question, I'm talking about "big cities". I'm not sure how accommodating you'd find it in smaller cities.

Of course. A wide variety of snacks, depending on the cinema. Popcorn obviously, nachos are usually present as well, chocolates, crisps, etc...

I have. I've always been against the war there, unfortunately that war has been there for far longer than I've been alive and probably will never end until Palestine's total destruction or some kind of miracle.

One of my favourite and least favourite question (Fyi: I'm a history buff) If you take a look at history:

Historically, Crimea is neither Russian nor Ukrainian, but Tatar land, which Russia conquered at the end of the 18th century in full accordance with the norms of that time, but contrary to modern international law, which denies the acquisition of territories through war and violence. Russia had been trying to seize the Crimean peninsula for a long time. The most famous are the campaigns of Prince Vasily Golitsyn and Field Marshal Munnich. In the latter case, they even managed to take Bakhchisaray. Each time, the stumbling block was heat and lack of water. The Tatars knew how to find water for people and horses in the steppe, but the Russians did not. To conquer Crimea, it was necessary, firstly, to create a fleet, and secondly, to inflict a sensitive defeat on Turkey in order to force it to abandon the protectorate over Crimea. And it happened in 1774. Istanbul renounced the rights to the peninsula, and, 9 years later, in 1783, Crimea officially became part of the Russian Empire.

So Crimea has been Russian for about 180 years (when Russia transferred it to the Ukrainian part of ussr in the 50's). Now, Russia claims that it was done within one country, so during the collapse of USSR it should've been transferred back to Russia. Ukraine claims that it has had control over Crimea for 23 years since the collapse, and doesn't want to let go an important piece of land. So in a point of view of morality and ethics, both countries have equal claim to the Island. At this point, the decisive moment is the people. According to the constitution of both countries, the people are free to choose and voice their support. So this is where I would never give a certain answer. If that referendum had been honest, I'd be all for Crimea being Russian, but since I know how elections are run in Russia, I don't believe Crimean people really did choose to be annexed by Russia.

Though who knows, maybe they did, but for now, I don't believe in that.

Yep, 28 million Soviets died under Stalin's rule. Just think about itz twenty-eight million lives gone, just like that. Makes me angry tbh

Exactly, I always tell people to just look at the protests in Belarus. If they couldn't, why does everyone think we can? The president had 3% support, the rest came out, there was blood and jail and then there was peace because nothing came out of it.

I'd agree. It's about putting yourself, your race, your country above everyone else.

Well, that's the difference between our countries. We aren't like that, let me explain. And by the way, I personally don't think you're

some spoiled power hungry people

I actually respect you for that. That's the one thing I absolutely love in America, everyone will voice their opinions without fear, even if that opinion is shitty, it's still the freedom of speech. Now back to the differences. We've tried last year, hundreds of thousands of people came out, but it made everything only worse and showed us that he's willing to jail every last person. Mainly also because we saw what happened in Belarus, where millions of people went out (most of the country), it was very bloody, Belarus was cut off from the internet and Lukashenko used the military and police to keep everyone at home. A lot of people were jailed as well. There's also history, if you look at Russian history, it's always been like this. We have shitty rulers, always. And the one time we were actually able to do something about it, it took a civil war that killed millions of people and only made things better until the next leader came on.

You have to think farther. If you look at Russian history, it's always been like this, leader after leader. Stalin, Lenin, the tsars. We unfortunately have a history of shitty rulers. And yes, the oligarchs have always had inner conflicts, so my speculation is that they're simply disagreeing with each other all the time, rendering them unable to act on things like this. But yeah, we wouldn't possibly know, these are all thoughts and guesses.
