His brother Nikolai who is a co-founder of Telegram and who is said to have developed the encryption protocol in Telegram lives in Russia according to some sources. His LinkedIn page indicates California as residence, however. BTW, Nikolai&

Nah. They jumped on a rare opportunity to present themselves as the proponents of the free speech. And surely there is an ulterior motive to gain more control over Durov and Telegram. Telegram's premier feature are channels and there a

Lenin adored Beethoven's Appassionnata sonata calling it "astonishing, superhuman". I like it too and in no way like Lenin;).

> "If your culture brought you to this, of what use was the culture?" I think this is a temporary sentiment. In my mind Bach and Beethoven are in no way associated with the Nazi regime, for instance.

Complicity accusations seem to be a stretch. I am not sure if it is the same in French law but according to Wikipedia: > For two persons to be complicit in a crime that does not involve negligence, they must share the same criminal inten

I am null at cryptography but thie following does not sound too bad as a default tbh. And I think it is misleading to focus solely on e2ee and not mention the distributed aspect. https://telegram.org/faq#q-do-you-process-dat

I believe that privacy not inspectable by law enforcement is a fundamental right. I'm willing to accept that aids some crimes but also willing to change my mind if the latter becomes too much of a problem. It doesn't seem to be th

I think your subtle arguments are wasted on EU's decision to stop the spread of misinformation and manipulation. It's that simple for them. Black and white. Us vs them. Don't think too much, you are taken care of by your &quo

It's worse than this. The author argues that backdoors are necessary rather than simply being willing to share his/her data for inspection.

Whoa, it's absurd if true... I fail to see how being responsible for not cooperating with authorities can be turned into being accused of these crimes. And I don't care for the legal gymnastics which makes this possible - the law

I once attended a local one man show where the actor's private parts were exposed for a second or two (by accident). There were a lot of kids in the audience (including mine). I was a bit uncomfortable for a second but we laughed it of

3:2 is the perfect fifth. 2:1 is the octave. Hence if you climb (or descend) by perfect fifths you never align with the notes you get if you climb (descend) by octaves. Look up "just intonation" and "equal temperament" i

For me the first association with "out" is "outdoors".

Looks like not a particularly good one at that (I would hope for a higher than average ability to get along with people).

Seems like these folks are in academia or have been in academia until very recently? Academic lifestyle tends to take its toll, especially if you move every n years. But even then your sample seems a bit extreme... Its hard to see how peopl

There's no "EU as a whole". Europe is made of vastly different countries with their own politics and the people care much more about the national politics compared to EU level politics (at least based on what I have seen). It

Considering personal relationships as "investments" of sorts disgusts me to the core...

Fascinating, thank you. What staggers me is how the very well-off people who can afford the Ferraris put up with this nonsense. In my book the whole point of being rich is the increased freedom which surely includes not complying to idiotic

Memorization? I don't like it don't get me wrong. Especially in subjects like math or coding where it really makes no sense to purely memorize without understanding - but the practice is absolutely necessary for understanding and

Okay I'll bite. If there's one thing to be learned from economics is that incentives matter. The incentives of the ruling class are vastly different from these of the general public. Covid was just one very clear illustration.

Call it rote memorization or call it practice - one cannot skip the step of becoming intimately familiar with the material. If you externalize all the knowledge there's nothing left to be learned and to build upon.

Are you getting paid for broadening your horizons or for getting sh*t done? Stroustrup was spot on about two types of programming languages.

I use nix (flakes) almost religiously now for exactly that reason (both for Python and R).

Kazakhstan as well if I understand correctly. These languages are Turkic though so cyrillic script is not such a natural fit.
