I do think it has uses beyond sewing; enlarging art, for example, or perhaps painting stage backgrounds, or maybe laying out patterns for building something out of wood.
France is arresting people for providing end-to-end encrypted communications?

What could possibly go wrong!
Why did he enter a country with an arrest warrant on his name? I don't understand it
Telegram doesn't have much to do with E2EE.
> Cooling the collected material would be expensive

Can't you just throw it in the shade and wait? Space is an excellent insulator, but radiation cooling still happens. Just let it sit there for a few weeks/months and you're all set, right?
Couldn't you do away with rubber and shoes since for legs you don't need flat, smooth roads either (so metal legs of a multi-ton vehicle won't have anything to damage too bad).

For comfort, you could have springs and air and hydraulic dampeners.
I don't know if you're outside of US that's done differently but in US, it's not called "deaf relay", it's just relay services.

The relay service is not for deaf people, it's also for people with speech issues, deafblind, blind, and so on.

> transcriptionists.

Also, not as such in US. It's interpreter (usually for ASL/video call) or operator. Relay service relays messages in two ways; voice the message from the end user and then type from voice to the end user.

AI has to be absolutely perfect to replace humans for these relay calls because as you said, when it comes to medical situations, or legal issues; who would be at fault for miscommunication that led to some issues?

In US, you must also verify your identity to the relay service as federal regulations has step up the identity requirements recently. I had to do a video call with VRS to show my state ID that I'm in the state and registered with the state's relay services.

A huge sports LED ticker screen. It’s been an interesting experience. Hardware is hard. But people love it when they see it and seem to be really excited for it.
Are we saying anything different?
Telegram is genuinely the best general communication platform I have ever used, by far. I really hope he has a good lawyer and this doesn't end up getting essentially murdered for creating it. When you create something that is objectively great, everyone will use it - including bad actors.

Yes, `&*foo` is meaningful. For example, `Vec<T>` becomes `[T]` and then `&[T]`.

Yes, a `Box<dyn Error>` is about the most rudimentary way of returning an arbitrary error, but it’s better than a panic or a sentinel value.
I recently deemed my last project - qtile-bonsai (https://github.com/aravinda0/qtile-bonsai) as 'complete software', with a final release.

It is a layer on top of the qtile window manager that allows for more advanced window arrangements - especially subtabs. It was an itch to scratch and I use it myself.

I am now diddling about with Rust and thinking of trying my hand at a PDF parser library. It's sort of nice when there's an established specs document - like all the requirements are clearly laid out and you don't have to spend time thinking about the scope and product design.

I can implement as much as I want to, have tests, and come back another time when I feel like it.
Was it public knowledge prior to it's execution?
I really hope this doesn't become an "encryption bad" cudgel.

> The main accusation by EU authorities concerns Telegram’s encrypted messaging services, which were allegedly used to facilitate organised crime. One investigator stated that ‘Telegram has become the number one platform for organised crime over the years’, underlining the perceived link between the platform’s privacy features and criminal activities.

It's unclear to me how much this "perceived link" is on behalf of the author of the article, as opposed to the prosecutors themselves.
I don’t know how much this founder is personally complicit in any of the charges brought against him, but if he’s just being held accountable for running a service where others did nefarious things, then this should be a chilling effect for all founders.

Why would anyone want to innovate and develop privacy technologies if this is what happens? So, your best bet is to work with government agencies if you want to work on this tech? What if the government isn’t one you agree with? No one has good answers for these, but criminals aren’t the only ones who need to use privacy-preserving tech.

These services are indeed great for those that need them. I received one or two years ago when I worked at a computer shop. Unfortunately they were always scammers, abusing the system.
What is the difference between telegram and cell phone providers other than encryption in relation to these charges?
Do you mean some public communities that you join with a public invitation, or do you mean more private communities (like your company Slack)?
Originally this was a privacy angle - the data is primarily stored on your device, with backend storage that’s treated like backup and sync only. I had plans for e2ee that built on this but it didn’t turn out to be a big differentiating factor.

Working in local-first turns out to be really nice for making the app feel super snappy. The responsiveness you see in the demo is the performance you can expect in day to day usage.
hmm -- could you speak to the meaning of explanation here?

It seems youre talking about the ability of a researcher to diagnose the structure of the model?
He did not. He stopped his jet to refuel in France, and they issued it in the mean time

> French authorities believe that Telegram, under Durov’s leadership, became a major platform for organised crime due to its encrypted messaging services, which allegedly facilitated illegal activities

Sounds like it was because of E2EE.
Yes, but the world doesn't work better if everyone maximally leverages their way into every weakly EV-positive (or EV-negative) high volatility play. If everyone is maximally leveraged, any tiny negative disturbance wipes out all wealth.

At some point, you're just hoping to get lucky, and to leave other people (debtors, governments) holding the bill if you don't. This is what people talk about when they criticize others for "privatizing profits, socializing risk."

Economists have a word for it, too: "moral hazard." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_hazard

Back to Boeing: Boeing put up really good numbers by gutting engineering and manufacturing organizations, hoping it would all turn out okay. For awhile it did, but then it didn't.

And it's questionable how much of these costs Boeing is going to bear, because there's a whole lot of talk in policymaking circles about how to keep an important defense manufacturer and top manufacturer alive (through contracts, tariffs, and supportive policy).
It’s great to be on a pedestal and say violence is bad and peace is great. You are sure are relying on trillions of dollars and nuclear and conventional military capability to let you be at peace though.
I think OP meant something like “you agreed to give them control over everything when you installed Windows”
I had a similar setup that i used while driving cross country ~2002. I used to pull into trucker rest areas to borrow wifi. I had more than a couple ask me about the magnetic antenna.
Some comparisons:

4k Aztec High GFX

* AMD 890M: 39.1fps

* M3: 51.8fps

3DMark Wild Life Extreme

* AMD 890M: 7623

* M3: 8286

Power:

* AMD 890M: 46w

* M3: 8286: 17w

M3 about ~253% more efficient.

But of course, if your goal is gaming, AMD's GPU will still be better because of Vulkan, DirectX, and Windows support. In pure architecture, AMD is quite a bit behind Apple.
Your cell phone provider will cooperate with the authorities immediately and without question.
Do you have any reference for this?
AI assisted throwaway email service
Can you, please, elaborate? Wasn't it their main feature and the selling point?
Telegram not being fully encrypted and seeing the content of most messages on its servers but not cooperating with the police?
The cell phone providers aren't likely refusing to cooperate with the authorities in whose jurisdiction they operate.
I'm genuinely curious to what would happen with Signal if the same bad actors moved to their platform. Would France also be arresting its creators for not properly moderating and giving backdoors?
> Even slightly above average kids are going to feel like 2 standard deviation genius doing basic school work because compared to the curriculum they are.

They'll be treated like geniuses too. I used to get treated like one because of my incredible ability to plug numbers into formulas and write down the answers that came out in a piece of paper. I simply did not understand how people could possibly have any problem with it. I found it so dull I ended up in a computers course where I learned to automate that kind of human computer nonsense away forever.

They treated me like a genius for working out some basic math, and the truth is I suck at math. I actually like math, but I suck at it. I used to get away with never needing to do homework as a kid. As a result I never developed the discipline necessary to hone math skills. Now I want to learn something interesting like queueing theory but I barely understand the papers and articles because I'm missing numerous prerequisites.

If anything a candidate caring too much about that is a warning flag. Competitive programming is a very different thing from writing software which is actually intended to be useful, and the approaches used for winning competitions are very bad for code that isn't going to be thrown away immediately afterwards.
There have been efforts to use a similar concept to clear out mine fields.

Cell phones are encrypted over the air, but they aren't end to end encrypted, and it's safe to assume that a provider will wiretap the plaintext passing through their backend if the authorities ask for it.
Encrypted doesn't necessarily mean e2ee.
Would love it to synchronously scroll through a web page with a transcript, two-way linked so when you scroll the transcript, the video scrubs too. Maybe you could embed timecode anchors in the text so it could calculate where to scroll. Extra credit: Clicking on a word seeks to just before that word in the video.
Yea, FCC needs to do something about the scammers. They're causing a lot of shops to not accept relay calls because of this.
It’s some kind of Mandela/Berenstain effect because the old one is also slightly green but I don’t remember Ruby’s documentation ever being green and apparently nobody else did either.
What were the potential alternatives to nuclear electricity 20-30 years, let alone 40 years ago (not counting fossil fuels, of course)? Today, wind produces about as much and probably a bit more electricity as nuclear (~12% less last year and growing quickly), next year, solar will produce more.

There are no nimbys in non-free countries, and nuclear has been pretty much stuck there, too.
E2EE is optional. Telegram does have it, but you don't need to use it.
i gotta agree, i basically live out of telegram.

even with the recent trend towards adding incremental bloat to the client, it’s managed to stay a simple, straightforward tool for communicating with minimal advertising and enough of the features that i need front and center.
The article is very poor mixing the actual charges with unrelated European Union concerns. The charges are not linked to encryption. Most of Telegram is unencrypted anyway.

The issue is with Telegram non cooperation and lack of moderation of publicly available content.
This is what happens when you refuse to hand over the keys.
Thanks for accepting that.

A lot of stores don't accept them anymore because of scumbag scammers abusing the system, leaving us dependent on a friend or family member to make our calls.

Probably an unrelated coincidence.
If Rust had an equivalent to tuples but for sum types I believe the error ergonomics would be better. This would result in more exact error handling instead of a crate wide error enum that has error states that would never happen. Not to mention the chore of constructing enum wrappers for all error cases.

FB actively takes down groups and blocks users that (1) break FB’s community standards or (2) do really bad stuff (share child porn, recruit terrorists, etc.). There are manual and automated ways to do this. Users have a way to report bad stuff to FB and to group admins, and FB has a way to send really bad stuff to authorities when complying with a warrant. IIRC the majority of Meta’s employees (tens of thousands of people) work on these safety systems.

So yeah, Meta takes it really seriously. It doesn’t work perfectly because the scale is mind-boggling, but it’s probably the best system of this kind at this scale, and it is constantly being evaluated, red teamed, and improved.

Source: I used to work on FB Groups.
They are certainly already on Signal, but Signal has end-to-end encryption so cannot supply information other than meta information to authorities.

> After all, what does it mean when 90% of people spend their time on Instagram and Tiktok?

I tend to think that the 10% remaining still represents more users than what USENET ever had. It's okay to not include everybody in a web community; I actually think it's a mistake to try to include everybody. Some people just don't fit (and would fit better somewhere else). Many times I read people saying "in order to attract more people you should do this and that", but I disagree: maybe you don't want to attract the people you wouldn't attract in the current state.
I’m not sure I understand. Doesn’t the fact that the prosecutors had him arrested directly imply they perceive a link?

Just because we reap the benefits of a system built on war and terror (one which many did not choose, I may add) does not mean that we are not allowed to criticize that system
This seems like the Kim Dotcom situation again.

Why are these service providers being punished for what their users do? Specifically, these service providers? Because Google, Discord, Reddit, etc. all contain some amount of CSAM (and other illegal content), yet I don't see Pichai, Citron, or Huffman getting indicted for anything.

Hell, then there's the actual infrastructure providers too. This seems like a slippery slope with no defined boundaries where the government can just arbitrary use to pin the blame on the people they don't like. Because ultimately, almost every platform with user-provided content will have some quantity of illegal material.

But maybe I'm just being naive?
True.

Actually, one thing he does not get - but it's difficult to criticize him on this, because his questions are not wrong... they feel... foreign in a way, so one thing is that the changes he's calling for... they take time ! A lot of time !

It's almost as if this text is about political epistemology in a way.

It’s a question of basic statistics; your original link does not compare apples to oranges.

When you measure something to compare, it’s helpful if it is the same.

This trick of conflating PHEV numbers is something most manufacturers don’t do, and BYD have been called out on in the past.

So many key players in EV (Tesla, rivian, lucid…) will never make a gas car - so of course BYD including over half a million gas cars in their “EV” stats makes for an unfair comparison across the industry.
Telegram also only supports E2EE in one-to-one chats, so any bad guys operating out of group chats / channels are definitely doing so in the clear.
That's a great list of friendlier sql in DuckDB. For most of that list I either run into it regularly or have wanted the exact fix they have.
You like it better than Signal? The only thing I know Telegram for is several of my girlfriend’s relatives being exposed to crazy scams and right-wing conspiracy theories and misinformation on it.

Due to the choices and tradeoffs they made, Go doesn't require most of these 'advanced optimizations.' The way allocation works in Go, along with its use of value types etc, eliminates the need to move objects around or use generations. You can read more about this here [2][3].

I'm not sure that's true for me personally; I find that it has good enough diagnostics to quickly locate all GC problems using the profiler and GC tracer. You can read more about this here [1].

Video and Audio calls are hit and miss. The history and search are not reliable. The interface is not really suited for big group chats... I could go on and on.
Signal always sounded like they have better lawyers and are not as antagonistic. Police work is not only about encryption. But a lot of it involves metadata. And you know, just booting bad actors from the platform.

They also don't have public groups with questionable material, as far as I know
Nope. It's because of the large telegram group chats for the most part and those aren't E2EE. The only chats that can be E2EE on telegram are one to one DMs and that's only if you manually enable it.

i.e. They refused to turn over chat records that they have server side access to.

It's worth noting that they could do E2EE here for group chats but they don't. Signal does it but telegram wholesale refused to.
And tactics exist outside of control of communications, to capture these bad actors, to infiltrate their ranks; why are these alternatives to fighting the production of child exploitation and abuse content not brought up in conversation ever?
I operate a combination of mobile and fixed point Pwnagotchis across NYC and Brooklyn, I push all the pcaps back to my home lab, which operates in a cluster of distributed hash crackers.

99% of passwords a junk, lol. At this point I can probably guess them faster, but the project has its moments.

Flipper is ok. HackRF and M5 much much better.
It doesn't do E2EE by default, you need to select it when messaging someone.
Java 9 and the Jarkarta transition unfortunately introduced a lot of compatibility issues, not the least with regard to frameworks and other dependencies used by an application. For large projects it can take months to upgrade from JDK 8 to JDK 11/17/21. For one enterprise project I’m familiar with it took over half a year.
I don't why you were downvoted. Because that is exactly what is going on. EU is generally on a open-encryption-by-warrant path and this is a great example of applying some pressuring.

Should we enable the Iranian polotical refugee to communicate in secret with her family ?

Nasty questions.
First, I want to apologize. The last statement came out a lot more combatant than I realized. So I removed it.

I was a Tile wallet user until I stopped carrying a wallet completely. There are 2 types of thieves: the professional and the opportunistic. Opportunistic, the majority, aren't doing more than they have to and if the bike has a tracker they know about it makes it less appealing. And if you can get the casual thief to give up immediately then the device has already payed for itself.

The professional will chop it immediately. I see kids in my neighborhood with $2000+ Trek Marlins, with all the expensive mountain bike parts removed. They simply wanted a bike to freestyle on. And doing all that probably took hours if not days. The professional is not going to spend anymore time than they have to disable a tracker when there are better options all around.
Oops thanks for pointing that out
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 exists to serve the public interest and is of no inherent value.

This would imply that just E2EEing everything would give you a free pass not to moderate anything, which seems very naive. I doubt the judges would care about their self-imposed technological limitations.
