- “Does anyone know how to withdraw money from payoneer more than $ 400 at a time?”

Hello!
I read that ATMs give a maximum of $ 400, is there a way to immediately withdraw $ 1000-2000? In order not to bother removing $ 400 large sums and not to pay $ 3.15 each time

Alfa Bank ATMs at branches allow you to withdraw up to $ 4000. Taking into account the fact that the limit payoneer $ 2500 is the most.

- “How to safely save bank card data in the Android application?”
Good day. I accept payment using bank cards in my application. It works by displaying the html page of the acquiring bank.

Unfortunately, this page is buggy on some devices + there is no possibility to save map data (many users ask for it). And in general, I would like the data entry to go through the native elements of the application, and not from someone else’s html page.

The competitors simply made a form of data entry of the card in the application, and they themselves send the data to the acquiring bank. I think to do the same, but, as far as I know, for the legal implementation of this, it is necessary for the application to have a PCI DSS certificate - I do not have the opportunity to do it (expensively). But perhaps I am mistaken.

Can someone do something like this and know how to do it right?

Maybe what libraries / services already exist, which allow us to do this, and already have certification?

Thank you in advance.

You can go through PCI DSS yourself and write what you qualify for but not certified.
It also describes how to properly store cards.

Interest Ask:

- “Payments to users of the game, how to organize from the point of view of the law and what service for this to choose?”

Greetings

I am an LLC and I have a free online game. I want to enter there some kind of currency, it can be bought for real money, win in tournaments and get for quests. It will be used to participate in these tournaments. Users will be able to display this currency in real (say at the rate of 1 to 1) or buy in-game buns. The question is whether such a withdrawal is legal from the point of view of Russian legislation (I mean that the user entered the money, contributed to the tournament, won it and withdrawn the money), what taxes will I have to pay? Which payment service is better to use (card withdrawal, paypal, webmoney, etc.)?

UPD1.
I have come to the following work options:
1. If I buy his game currency from the user, then the person will be engaged in business activities, which may entail a criminal investigation or administrative procedure for them. The names of individuals FTS learns when checking my LLC.
2. If I just transfer money to an individual, then I have to pay 13% for it + contributions to the funds.
3. To work in black, just keeping money in payment systems and transferring it to users. I don’t know yet how payment systems and the Federal Tax Service relate to this. But either the LLC or the responsible person will have to shine, because The Central Bank limited the size of anonymous payments and the turnover of an anonymous wallet.
4. If the payments are scored, then the individual should pay a tax of 35%.

As a preliminary result: to fight abroad and from there to conduct activities. I will study how offshore firms such as forex, poker, etc. conduct their business. bullshit

Thanks to all!

Is illegal. Problems will be terrible how much.
Forget Russia, do service for foreigners. Be warned that the Russians can not provide the service and ask to leave the page. If suddenly someone does not listen - you can not and should not check everyone, right?

"Copyright" section

Interest Ask:

- "Can I use someone else's code?"

If a developer puts his program on the Internet along with open source, does this mean that I can use this code for my own business purposes?

Two options:
License to use the code is not specified . Then you need to contact the author of the code and settle the question of using his code for his own purposes. Otherwise, you can meet in court.
The type of license is indicated . Then you act strictly according to the points of the license, otherwise you also risk. If the type of license is not satisfactory, then this can also be settled with the author of the code by agreeing on a license that is suitable for both of you. Some developers release code under dual licenses. If you have open source code (even if it is commercial), then just use and open your own code too. And if you want to close the code, then pay the author royalties for using the code.

There are many different licenses for open source.
Read the license that comes with the code. In some cases it is freely distributed, in some it is forbidden to use in commercial products without the consent of the author.

Section "Internet advertising"

Interest Ask:

- “Auto promotion seopult or seowizard, is there a difference?”

And where do you buy links?
I know seopule for a long time, I learned about seowizard not so long ago.
Where better to promote?
As for me the main thing is the availability of high-quality sites and placing links manually.

Indeed, the principle of operation of all such services is not very different among themselves. Some have some buns, others have others. But again, all the salt is a quality site. And if we are talking about quality, then relying on automation is quite risky. If this is your project and you want to play, you can test both services for comparison (the seowwizard really wants to leave the interface better, but if you have been using sap for a long time, you will understand), but I would recommend playing with pens on the customer's website.

I have been using seopult for over a year, before that I tried a couple of other services. I am satisfied, the links are eternal, the platforms pick up the rules, the interface is clear, the process is automated, the audit is the best I've seen. My advice is to choose a seopult, of these two for sure.

Seopult has a new feature right now - links from social networks, this fire is easy! I advise)

I used the wizard for 2 months, and this is a short time to judge the results. The interface had difficulties coped.

Interest Ask:

- “How to determine the cause of traffic drop?”

Starting from October 28, the site saw a drop in traffic to the minimum figures for 4 months, no external actions were taken on the site over the last month, gradually updated the design during the month, during the update (and after, up to October 28) it didn’t go on traffic not reflected. How to find out the reason?

There are no warnings in Google Webmaster Tools.

The procedure for determining the causes of the fall:
build reports on traffic sources, it is better to superimpose them on each other through the extended segments, determine which source falls (or all) analyze if this segment is found to fall, if all segments fall, look at the seasonal fluctuations, correct meter installation, display problems pages.

Interest Ask:

- “How to choose a 1C product for development from scratch?”

The management finally and irrevocably for management of suppliers decided to use 1C.

Tell me, as a programmer to a programmer, which 1C license can be purchased to start developing your 1C product? We need the very minimum, without accounting entries and reports, without additional miracle modules.

Is there a license for “naked” 1C and what is it called?

A library of standard subsystems may be useful for development from scratch.

That's right - buy «1C: Enterprise 8.3. Technological supply. Definitely now it’s worth starting with a library of standard subsystems. And before you start, read the demo version of this configuration in comparison with the empty one.

I would say - it is not rational to start with something else. The configuration contains the basics of subsystems of work with users, routine and background tasks, work with mail, and much, much more (which by the way is not yet in current releases, even the latest configurations)

Section "Internet"

Interest Ask:

- “How to bypass the blocking of Roskomnadzor for desktop programs (not browsers)?”

My provider blocks access to pastebin.com at the request of the Justice Ministry (they have their own registry). I know bypassing blocking using standard methods. But I have a program whose configs contain direct links to the paste (models from a blender), they are naturally not picked up.
How to make it work (without reloading the model)?

Thanks for the help!

I think Betternet should help you.

The easiest way is to wrap all traffic in a VPN and sometimes with handles to turn it off when you need full channel width.

But you can be confused. Write a script that will regularly check pastebin.com's IP addresses and write them somewhere in the hosts, and then create routing rules at these addresses so that traffic to them goes through VPN, and everything else through the main channel.

- “How to start developing 'big' projects?”

Hello guys. As you know the future is behind the robots, I was interested in this topic. I have a question: which book should I read according to the algorithms (preferably with tasks) and what else would you recommend to read?

must have: https: //ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithms: _construct ...

And big projects are now corporate systems. Robotics has not yet gained such momentum.

Section "Project Management"

Interest Ask:

- “What KPIs are there for project managers?”

We want to take the new project manager to the office and the management wants KPI for it. Nothing comes to mind except the deadline. What else is there?

Form him measurable goals and evaluate the achievement of these goals. Short-term objective indicators for project managers are rarely adequate, only long-term or subjective short-term ones.
You can also get another SLA, but considering this: “We want to take the manager of a new project into the office” - SLA will not work for you. Here is an example of the matrix of our IT managers:

Interest Ask:

- “How do websvodka.ru services work?”

I read about them an article on Habré:
habrahabr.ru/company/embc/blog/249075

How to make a simple textual comparison is understandable, but how does the graphical display of everything that has changed while maintaining the page design as in the screenshot here:
How can this be implemented?

Page design depends on css.
Css depends on html.
To save the page design you need to save html.
To save the html you need to build the AST of both versions and show the changes at the deepest level possible.

And that's not at all clear, because HTML text comparison is not there. The page is first parsed completely, then there is an in-element comparison of all text elements. If the distance is less than a constant, the elements are assigned a single uid (that is, they are recognized as a pair of variants of one element). For other tags that contain text, the relative volume of matching child text elements is estimated, based on this, they are identified, and this is the way from bottom to top until a common tree is assembled. And the coloring of diff-differences for matched text elements is a trivial task.

I know this topic well, because once I wrote like that. The topic is complex, there are no ready-made solutions, there are no universal approaches either (my description is simplified by an order of magnitude), a bunch of different boundary cases, the brain is boiling away from the task decomposition alone. In general, I didn’t finish the decision at that time, the sponsor lost faith in the project, and without funding on the bare enthusiasm of this magnitude, the projects do not end alone. I still dream to continue, albeit on other technologies, but with great experience in this topic.

- “UML and design patterns are the same?”

What follows from what? In what sequence to use? What is primary, what is secondary? When should they be applied?

You confuse warm with soft.

UML is a schematic drawing language used to draw classes and their interrelationships. With programming patterns nothing to do.

Programming patterns are an architectural solution to popular problems in order not to reinvent the wheel, which is not related to a programming language. You just have a certain task, you come up with an algorithm that solves it. Patterns allow you not to invent an algorithm, but to look - all of a sudden such problems have been solved before you, and there are suitable patterns. Then in the right language you implement this pattern. And if the team is large, then communicating with colleagues you will not tell them the idea for an hour and a half, but simply call the name of the pattern and everyone who knows them will understand you perfectly well.

Career section

Interest Ask:

- “What part of the total cost of the project, as a rule, goes to the designer?”

And how can you understand that you are simply deprived?

There are several things for this. I will say in advance - they are very logical, but they never worked for me.

The idea is something like this:

Price depends on your personal abmii
You just do not work if the price tag is less, for example 2 thousand dollars. Well, that is, this price tag is usually determined by authority, if you have a line - you drop a huge price and say that you don’t even take it less, let them look for students. If they leave, convince yourself that they say, it's just not your customers.

Price depends on the cost of the product.
This is the minimum for the market, it is established so that, in principle, for work you can at least eat

Price depends on customer status
If it is a director of a holding of 5 corporations, the price starts to add zeros (on the right). If this is Vasya's neighbor, the zeros are removed. The question is whether you are ready to work in principle without zeros, and whether Vasya can give you something to replace these zeros for you. We simply take the director of a corporation for the fact that he will EXACTLY give you nothing. If the director of a corporation is your good friend, and you really believe (by the way, in vain) that he can be useful to you in life more than tac-toe, you can remove tac-toe for him.

Some people have a very reasonable approach - they work for free, but they use connections instead of money. Say wanted to eat? There is a familiar cook, whom I helped in the 41st at the front. Wanted a car? There is a familiar autoinvestor who, for ridiculous money, will sell the car to you, because he owes you. Do not forget one thing - you still need the money, so you will not work for everyone for free. With all this, a friend will not give much. Therefore, to be a friend and to think that you will have a lot of money will not work. Money is earned from ___ friends, and respect from friends.

The price depends on the emotional state of the client.
A tired and joyful person more easily perceives the burden of life, and therefore a higher price. If tired then “was not”, if very well, then “is it so little?”. Therefore, in business, by the way, it is not recommended to show emotions. Not so simple. Additionally, I will say that if you are aware of this, you will be able to turn on these states at the right moments and knock the solution in your favor by using them.

Price depends on customer knowledge
If you do something that he hasn’t even heard of, he will probably not give you any extra money. But if you can tell him what benefits it brings and why you are doing it - the price rises. But do not step on my personal rake. You work for free and you drive what you are doing a very important thing. Your client will smile and support you, but as you have worked for free, you will continue to work for free. Nothing personal. Business.

The price depends on the level of your expertise, of course, in his eyes, and not “in the whole village”
If you have established yourself as a reliable person, in our world, where everyone wants to crush the other, you can, attention, try to crush the other and set the price higher.

===
The thing is:
Pricing is a game of responsibility. The client tries his best to keep the initiative in conversation and at the same time throw difficult questions to you. They say you work, and say the price, while I want to earn everyone and do nothing. And you try to knock the ground out from under his feet, take the initiative and prove that it costs so much, because he himself cannot do this without you. While not offending him, not humiliating, and not being rude, that is, very polite.

===
That is, the order of the price is:
- cost price
- customer desire
- your ambitions
- trust level
- client status

If you walked through all the points and you agreed on a price, then you should already consider that you agreed and turn off any thoughts on price. So you thought that you had enough? Well, that's it, now do it.

The usual situation in the world is an attempt to put the work below cost and in the end get a disgruntled client, but ... get it! The client is not a curiosity. The client is an ordinary man who is very rarely intelligent, more often he is with some kind of psychos, jokes and no money at all.

You need a feeling of the time that you spent on your training and on what you help him. If he comes to you and declares from the doorway “and there the work is, ugh, move the column, that's why 10 dollars” ...

Your answer is almost on the machine - "if ugh - so why did you come to me?"

But again, for him, ugh, maybe $ 10, or maybe $ 2,000. And for you, ugh, how much?

Answer him "Take it yourself." Aah, he is lazy and not enough time? So it’s not ugh anymore, let's talk about the normal price - how much you don’t feel sorry for leaving you one day, not two or ten days for this job (or maybe 10 years).

You know, usually, on this phrase, almost all clients tell you that you are a psychologist and where they fuck somewhere. Well, what to do, you have revealed their insidious intent. And customers with such a plan more than 90%.

- “How to deploy Big Data in your business?”

Hello!

Immediately, I apologize if someone misled my question, it’s just that maybe it’s not entirely correct, but I’ll try to formulate what I want.

As I understand it, Big Data is the collection of structured and unstructured data from various sources, their processing and analysis.

How to organize it? There is a task to constantly monitor a certain market (prices, taxes, cost of services - in a certain segment). There are a huge number of sources of information, and manually it’s not really possible to cover it.

As I understand it, there is a special equipment for storage and analysis, special software.

I also understand that I am far from all of this, since now the data are mainly collected by hand, but I understand that our business needs this technology.

Where to begin? Who to contact?

Thank!

Determine to begin with, you really have BIG Data or just Data.
BIG is characterized by:
1. Huge amounts of data (in TB + -)
2. The tremendous speed of their generation (in GB / s + -)
3. High required processing speed (up to real-time)
4. Unstructured (voice, text, numbers, binary data) and many sources of their income (sensors, previously saved data, etc.)

Judging by your question, you are only satisfied with item 4 - please correct it if I am mistaken.
Another important point is why do you plan to use the results of the analysis of this data? I ask the question because there are already ready-made solutions for many tasks - such as the RetailRocket product recommendations service (not advertising, just citing as an example) for online stores, whose task is to increase the average purchase check.
So, depending on your tasks, it is quite possible that some self-written or ready-made software will be enough for you, incl. and without label Big Data))
Again, as an example, we once made a simple sales forecasting system for a large distributor on the Terrasoft BPM'online + 1C + Deductor bundle. In the project, we operated on approximately 27,000 items of the nomenclature and 250,000 items in shipments per year. The breakdown was done in 3 branches and 20 product categories. From 1C they took the fact by implementations, pushed all this into the Deductor to build a forecast (while in the BPM'online manually indicated the seasonality coefficients - the project was quite simple), from the Deductor-a weighed the data into BPM for visual analytics and linking the sales forecasts to plans the work of managers (apart from the forecast, we still carried out analytics on the total needs of clients in BPM'online, and compared the sales forecast to this client and the client’s known need and, if the forecast was too far behind the requirements, “set off” managers on this class ienta).

How do you begin to advance on some kind of request?

The site stood for a whole year on Jumla. He somehow got into the second third page of the region.

I redid the site, made a layout competent, mobile phones, etc., uploaded 5-6 more articles to the site, more than 700 standard projects, all that a programmer can do for his brainchild.

In my region in Google, the site came out in the top-1, in Yandex, as usual, 5-6 places in the region, in Yandex, the first place is occupied by some kind of a bother robot article on a blog (where it is only one), of course, shit-Yandex can search
