On the weekend I looked through Alexander Grechik book for traders. As usual in non-fiction books, a lot of space is filled with success description and advertiments of his own course, altough there is a lot of interesting things in it.
Vaccine Trial
Last Friday I saw an advertisement in browser that the third phase anti-COVID vaccine is staring soon and they are looking for volunteers. I followed a link and found out that it’s a Chinese vaccine of CanSino Biologics company.
The Testaments
I’ve just finished the Testament book by Margaret Atwood and I liked it. I like anti-utopia books in general and that’s one of them. During the reading, I realized that it’s the second book in the series. However, you could enjoy it even without reading the first book (The Handmaid’s Tale).
COVID-19 in Russia
When I see statistics of COVID-19 spreading in Russia it’s really hard to say what’s going on. So, I decided to look at things differently and show infected people rate instead of absolute number.
Data Science and Market

The first part is about general rules for data visualization (like avoid pie charts and use the same axes for data comparison etc.). The second part is about ggplot2 package in R. I should say it’s […]
Horrible Google
I was a big fan of google for a long time. There was my first and currently is a primary mail address. I bought movies, music, and books in their Play store. But the way they are dealing with their services is horrible.
Data Science and Books

The only bad thing happened at the end of the course when they raised the certificate price from 49 to 149 dollars. At first, I was sure […]
+1
The most important thing that happened in my life in the last couple of weeks was Danil’s birth. He is nice and with bulky cheeks, appeared with a weight of 3.15 kilo and a height of 51 centimeters. Before our first child, I thought that kids are just noisy and very energetic creatures and I […]
Banks comparison
I was applying for mortgage loan and could share my experience with different banks. I applied to five banks: DOM.RF, Alfabank, Sberbank, VTB and Raiffaisen.
Ulyanovsk
Another business trip for An-124-100 resource extension started on Oct 14. Like a previous one, this time we arrived to Ulyanovsk. I should admit, that it’s much better here now than in winter. Sun is shining bright, streets are covered with colorful leaves and cheerful children are running along the wide streets.
