For me, anything based mostly on story or suspense is out, because I know what's going to happen. Even if they are some of my favorites. So usually it's for the visuals, music, or action.

Hardcore Henry I've probably watched the most. Such an absolutely wild action movie.

For visuals, I've watched What Dreams May Come(despite it being pretty heavy) and Tarsem Singh's "The Fall" probably five times each. The latter is hard to find, but definitely worth a watch if you come across it.
It is true that Musk endorsed a post which said that Jewish communities have been endorsing anti-white hatred.

There is no doubt that one can easily find many individual Jews, and even groups of Jews, who have endorsed anti-white hatred. However, Jews are prominent in all parts of the political spectrum due probably mainly to their high average level of intellectual ability, so basically anyone could find prominent Jews among their political opponents no matter what sort of politics one has. Some of the most prominent figures who are generally considered far-right in today's Western Overton window, and most definitely are not anti-white, are Jewish. For example, David Horowitz, Curtis Yarvin, Costin Alamariu, and many others. Then there is Israel, which in some ways is far-right by modern US standards, and is a place where I imagine the majority of the population both consider themselves white and are not anti-white in the slightest, rather the opposite. The idea that entire broad communities of Jews promote anti-white hatred is not supportable by reality as far as I can tell.

I forgot about that endorsement of his. You make a good point. I am not sure that his endorsement was just a case of misunderstanding on his part rather than revealing a deeper racist sentiment. It could go either way. It is possible that he was just sloppy and interpreted "Jewish communities" to mean "certain groups of Jews", which is what he tried to say when he backtracked from his endorsement later, and it is also possible that he actually dislikes Jewish people in general. But I agree that it is not unlikely that he has at least some underlying anti-Jewish sentiment.

Funnily, I notice that many people who have anti-Jewish sentiment misunderstand what is typically happening when individual Jews express anti-white sentiment. Usually what is happening in such cases is that the person considers himself both white and Jewish, so when he expresses anti-white sentiment it is not as a Jewish person hating on whites, it is actually as a self-hating white hating on whites. I would not be surprised if Jewish whites in the US are more likely to express anti-white sentiment than non-Jewish whites are, since Jewish people in the US tend to be leftist and being a self-hating white person is a very common characteristic of leftist whites, but that does not mean that communities of Jews are anti-white unless you use the word "communities" in a rather non-standard way.

As far as transphobia goes, I am not so sure. Musk seems to be a bad father to his trans child, but I cannot think off the top of my head of any transphobic things that he has said, unless you think that it is transphobic to not consider a trans woman a woman. Which I do not consider transphobic at all. But I might not be aware of some of his statements.

Telegram Boss Pavel Durov Detained in France – French Media
Isn't it constrained to minutely timestamps or something like that.

What keeps amazing me is that this is supposed to make children's lives better, by helping social services.

Of course, such legislation only has any chance in hell of improving lives if the standard of living for children, the education, the ... IN social services is good. It is very easy to see this WILL put more children into such a situation, and that's about the only thing such legislation will definitely do. It is completely absurd to think this is going to end drugs, abuse or whatever else they're looking for.

Is that the case? Is it the case that the standard of living, education, ... in social services is good?

No. Not at all. There's constant scandals and if a child that gets into a social services institution makes it into university, just one, any given year, that's national news. Prostitution in social services is common, drugs and crime are everywhere.

It seems there is A LOT more work to be done on the other side of social services first. They seem to perform VERY badly once they actually catch someone. So why do this? Because it isn't to help children. At the very best they see this as a cheap way to look like they're improving social services.
Telegram allows to report illegal posts; I suggest that France arrests those who saw the posts but didn't report them instead.
A bunch of people in comments here seem to misunderstand what telegram is. It is not just a messaging app, it is essentially a platform like twitter, with channels, hundreds of thousands of subscribers to those.
While I fully support E2EE communication with no back-doors, I think it is perfectly fair for governments to have some control to take down large channels that are clearly against the law. I do not know the true cause for the arrest, but I hope it is because of the latter not the former.
One detail that's missing from the English article is why he got arrested.

The French article mentions:

Why was he under threat of a search warrant?

The Justice considers that the absence of moderation, cooperation with law enforcement and the tools offered by Telegram (disposable numbers, cryptocurrencies...) makes him an accomplice to drug trafficking, child-crime offenses and swindling.
Signal and WhatsApp do have that. You can easily use group chats that way, you just have to get invited. You can't look for them and join them.

It's really easy for e.g. a drugdealer to post QR codes or something on lamp posts with their contact and then they can invite people. Making Telegram go away is just going to hide the problem, not solve it.
But people live there already. Couldn’t they be prosperous without a big software company building its headquarters there?
From what I've seen, it's the opposite. Nobody wants an outsider coming into their territory and committing a crime. And it also makes you a flight risk, so that's going to factor badly into any pre-trial detention.

I said it in that comment. But specifically, if more responsibility comes with the same or less reward than less responsibility, nobody rational will be motivated to do it. The degree of responsibility is somewhat subjective, but again you need to consider what else the qualified person might be doing that is more rewarding than working for you.

I said it in another reply but I should mention it here too. Not paying people well for their level of responsibility encourages corruption.
The Telegram fanatics for some reason are unwilling to hear it but we'll say it again: the reason why we still have an Internet in 2024 is that all those services at least attempt some form of moderation.

With more or less success, sure, but they can at least say there is an attempt and they do take down stuff. Durov pretty much brags about not doing the bare minimum.

It's that simple.
As someone who deals in both the administration of email servers and lives in a country where the postal service was privatized and later shuttered, I can't imagine a more hellish suggestion than this.

The amount of privilege it takes to describe the USPS as an "antiquated annoyance" is incomprehensible. USPS is a literal gift from the gods as far as I'm concerned.

I've been a consumer of the PAF for many years through work.

In the bad old days (10 years ago), when we got it from a well known credit check company, it came on CDs. We then moved to "automatic" updates via their rubbish, buggy software to our on-premise install. That wasn't such a huge upgrade, because as soon as you looked away from that software it would stop working.

Now we pay a different, altogether better company to access it via a web service. I would expect that the speed of updates through to websites is now mostly as good as the frequency of PAF releases. Unless this has changed recently, the PAF isn't created by Royal Mail itself, it's outsourced to a company called AFD based on the Isle of Man.

My only complaint with the service we get now is that the value is quite poor - our total cost is somewhere around 30p per lookup on average for addresses which I suspect are rarely even used in our line of work.

Telegram is also one of the very few places where ordinary Russians can read alt-news and not only Kremlin-approved propaganda. And Russia's stringent internet censorship is only tightening as years go by.

No. The parallelism is an upper bound, higher reduces security. If you're running a server for multiple clients each client should only get one thread for argon2 anyway, more won't help your overall throughput.
Why stop there? By your logic, the owners of every ISP that provides a pathway for those criminal bits also should be in jail. Every single organization in that pathway would be liable from the registrars to the developers of web libraries or other app services. The governments themselves would be liable in many cases where the government has nationalized internet services.

There is a principle in the free world that one is not criminally liable for the speech of others. This is the principle that allows ISP's, newspapers, web forums, Google, etc. etc. to exist. You demand that the principle be violated and the Internet be destroyed. I disagree.
Is that directive the reason why website operators do not want to implement ECH (Encrypted Client Hello) which allows to encrypt server name in TLS connection? I tried googling this, but Cloudflare blog only says that they disabled ECH without disclosing the reasons: [1]

I'm in the same boat, about to get stuck in to Cursor. But I'm wondering if it might be better to go with a VS Code extension like Continue.

With Continue you can use your own local copy of an LLM, and also query LLM API endpoints, so therefore better for a pay as you go solution and cheaper if you are a heavy user. Also you can carry on using VS Code as your editor of course.

This is my understanding of the trade offs. I assume that Cursor has better functionality and is better at coding for it to be a serious option compared with the VSCode extensions. I'm going to try out both and see what I like best.
There needs to be an open standard for cards of all types utilizing some sort of challenge-response authentication, maybe over the NFC chip. Especially since Apple is now allowing developers open access to the NFC hardware. We are allowing dangerous levels of privatization over our digital infrastructure.

I should be able to add my debit card to ANY phone, using ANY app, with or without any particular core services. Anything short of this is antitrust.

> But a malicious app could take your money!

So could a malicious website. Or a malicious 7/11. Or a malicious passenger sitting next to me on the train. This is no different. If something weird happens, my bank will send me a text, like they already do.
Use-cases like "implementing a garbage-collected language."
The fun fact is that while Telegram won't make use of something akin to PicDNA to automatically detect CSAM, it will very happily take down your channel or group if you distribute copyrighted material.

They do know how to respond to copyright complaints. Not so much about other, far more serious sort of illegal activities. Just on that point, they should have expected something to be done against them.
> we keep escalating and they still haven't hit the big red button

You... have things completely backwards.
That’s insanely irresponsible. Even if everything goes perfectly you’re going to have volcano tier dust plumes altering the local climate and in the worst case you could kill millions of people by wiping out entire cities.
Since perchlorate's comment is now dead, and yours is similar, going to reply here.

I do agree to some extent. Having tools to challenge a dictatorship that cannot be silenced can indeed become invaluable. However, there is a significant difference between responsible moderation, which aims to protect individuals' safety, and full-blown censorship. While it can be a slippery slope, the absence of moderation shouldn't leave users defenseless against doxxing and threats, which can have real, harmful, and even deadly consequences. There must be some form of balance. From my experience, it feels like Telegram lacks any moderation whatsoever, which represents another extreme. I assume, though, that they must be enforcing some level of moderation for things like CP, since governments typically, really do not tolerate a no moderation policy in such areas.

I would say that being on this extreme end, Telegram has actually opened itself up to government scrutiny. If there had been some form of responsible moderation, governments might not have found enough grounds to justify their actions. The absence of any moderation means that governments can use full force and indeed justify it, potentially damaging the very area of free speech that Telegram aims to protect.
In case you didn't know: Coherence is almost entirely improv - there was no script, and it was shot in just 5 days. I don't tell people before they watch it, because you can't tell. The cast each got a notecard each day of shooting, but they had no idea what was coming, and even were fed lies about the others.

> "We shot over five days, and instead of a script I had my own 12-page treatment that I spent about a year working on. It outlined all of the twists, and reveals, and character arcs and pieces of the puzzle that needed to happen scene-by-scene. But each day, instead of getting a script, the actors would get a page of notes for their individual character, whether it was a backstory or information about their motivations. They would come prepared for their character only. They had no idea what the other characters received, so each night there were completely real reactions, and surprises and responses. This was all in the pursuit of naturalistic performances. The goal was to get them listening to each other, and engaged in the mystery of it all.

> ...They were completely in the dark. All the surprises you see are real... You’re improvising along with the actors as a director, and cameraman. My DP, Nic Sadler, and I told them, 'You can go anywhere you want in the house and we’ll follow you. We’re not going to rehearse it or block it.' We just treated it almost like a documentary unfolding in front of us."

>and get some polonium

Why would he get some polonium? There are endless official Russian state telegram channels. Putin clearly has no issue with it or he would have banned it.
Is the west the one escalating? Looks like the west is responding in very careful measured ways, possibly even under reacting sometimes.

Russia does seem to be the one agitating and pushing boundaries, especially when former Soviet states elect more independently minded governments.
The vast majority of iMessages (99%+), including normal/unreported ones, are readable by Apple because either the iMessages themselves or the iMessage cross-device sync keys are escrowed to Apple in the non-e2ee iCloud Backup. In the latter case the messages are readable in realtime.

This is documented (not the 99% figure, but the situation) by Apple in knowledge base articles on the apple.com website.

The e2ee in iMessage is effectively irrelevant, as for most people, most of the time, it functions just like Telegram (which is not e2ee).
I remember reading an article from back when Blue Origin was a space mining concern that the first thing to grab is water just to supply the space station. Because it’s so expensive to take water into orbit and retrieving a comet or something else was fairly cheap and could yield billions of water for use by anyone in orbit.
The article would be more convincing if it used more examples of dates in the future.

For timestamps (i.e. recording things that happened), I still believe all you need is UTC and a location.

The bank example is just a matter of poor UX, not lost information (surely the bank could map transactions to a local time zone if they wanted).

> staying in a French prison is safer for him than being out in the open

This is probably the most ridiculous theory I’ve read all year.
1-in-270 is overall probability threshold for a 210 day notional ISS stay.

For the journey home from ISS to Earth, the probability threshold is 1-in-1000. Likewise, it is 1-in-1000 for the journey from Earth to ISS.

The riskiest part, which increases the probability from 1-in-500 to 1-in-270, is the ISS stay – the extended stay in space is faced with a continuous risk of micrometeoroid damage.

To be fair, anyone that has used Telegram for a while know that this is just a mock option to fool regulators. You can report all you want; zero action is taken. There are dozens of accounts that joined groups I'm in to spam CSAM. We've reported them, kicked/banned them from the group. Months later you can look them up and they're still there and still active. They even post CSAM in their public (visible for everyone on their profile) stories.
> TF1 and BFM both said the investigation was focused on a lack of moderators on Telegram, and that police considered that this situation allowed criminal activity to go on undeterred on the messaging app.

(From the reuters link)
People in general would rather have less responsibility if there is no value added by taking more. This is extra important when the person is highly qualified, because in theory they could do their own thing. So you have to pay more than that.

There aren't many people for whom status alone is enough. Why should anyone take on more problems to end up with less money than if they had assumed less problems?

There is another problem with not paying people. It encourages corruption. When people feel they aren't paid fairly, they will do all kinds of awful things.
People comparing to WhatsApp/Signal etc. are missing the point.

The lack of E2EE is actually what has got Telegram in trouble.

The same stuff that happens on Telegram also happens on WhatsApp and Signal - but because it's E2EE, it's harder for the police to find it, and when they do find it, WhatsApp and Signal have no way to comply - they can't see the chats! That said, they will provide details to LE that they do have access to (e.g. metadata) - of which WhatsApp holds a lot more.

In Telegrams case with public groups sharing illegal content out in the open - this is viewable to LE and they request logs from Telegram for their investigations. This stuff is publicly viewable on and to Telegram. Telegram can remove it. Telegram can provide chat logs to LE - but they refuse to. This is why they're in trouble.

Moral of the story - if you want to start an internet service - you either go E2EE no knowledge, or you moderate your shit and cooperate with LE, you can't avoid doing the latter unless you're doing the former.
There are experts working at the commission.
About the custody thing, he's an extremely high flight risk. If the French authorities are serious about his arrest and it's not just a dumb PR move, there is absolutely no chance he's going to be released. Not without 24/7 police surveillance and giving up on all this passports.
Indeed. I wouldn't travel to France, the UK, or any other oppressive regime in these times.

Yeah there's definitely a gap between functionally fluent and being mistaken for a native that requires some intentionality and effective study that is unlikely to be crossed accidentally/passively or by focusing on the wrong things/methods.

Some combination of learning the phonetics of the target language, 1000s of hours of comprehensible input, singing to music in the target language, and doing impressions of native speakers are all things that can help.
