Habr Weekly # 8 / Yandex Sorcerers, a book about Prince of Persia, YouTube against hackers, the Pentagon’s “heart” laser

We discussed the difficult topic of competition on the example of Yandex, talked about the games of our childhood, talked about the boundaries of what is permitted in the dissemination of information, and hardly believed in the Pentagon laser. Look for news topics and links to them inside the post.



Here is what we discussed in this release:

• Avito, Ivi.ru and 2GIS accuse Yandex of unfair competition . Yandex is responsible .
• The creator of the Prince of Persia announced the release of a book on its development.
• YouTube removes hacking instructions .
• The Pentagon has a laser that can identify people at a distance - by heartbeat .
