I once visited Moscow for a AI coding jam sponsored by the Russian state, and while I was there, there was a Telegram group for all of the students to use to communicate during the…

We even had a speaker advertise a telegram channel for everyone I was there with to talk to each other, and the Russian audience laughed to his amusement. I didn't get the joke; ki…

Yup, and it's a tragedy. A boss cares about the work being delivered, and wants the end product as a valuable piece of the business. It's not like school where if one is late, one …

It is also not true across Android -> iOS, as I just made the switch and experienced the same thing.

> To my knowledge, that's not true. But even if true, that doesn't mean e2e encryption isn't in effect. It's not true. I just recently switched phones. If you activate your phone o…

"Telegram is banned in Russia" Really? I just went there recently, and nearly everyone used Telegram as their primary messaging application (other than Instagram)

Unfortunate name too

My speculation is that it maybe tries to crack the hashed value and input that to the phone instead, rather than interfacing with the password screen. in other words: the encryptio…

From what I can tell, it simply tries to brute force the password (perhaps with some informed suggestion). It does appear to have access to an exploit that bypasses/disables the en…

This. I recently worked with a company that produces drones among other things, and spoke with the head of research there. More or less, they said they had given up on putting mone…

All the French bakeries I went to actually had a huge amount of fresh baguettes, absolutely delicious and 35 cents each. Maybe they were bad compared to gourmet baguettes, of cours…

As well, is this really something that harmful to the environment? I get that people driving > people not driving when it comes to climate harm, but I don't want to live in a city …

Yup, it's certainly a punchline in seemingly every office job I've ever worked. I've worked a lot of retail and cooking jobs though too, and I think a lot of people come from these…

I think it's rougher for people to understand that aren't in this industry, and there are so many jobs that _do_ benefit from this in a numerical way, i.e. more parts per hour, mor…

Any update on the whole adblock thing that was popular here a little bit ago, with them deprecating the ability to drop web requests? Seems kinda paramount to this initiative.

It probably bends, but I think most of the issue is with the actual finish of the card which seems to be flaking off or discoloring.

I do agree that comparing the US culture of gun ownership + the second amendment (which, although may have been written as though to apply to all people regardless of national iden…

1. Because they are cool aesthetically 2. Because they appear to be more durable (see thread, unfortunately).

Why has the US military machine failed to wipe out a few thousand foreign insurgents (generally less well equipped than American civilians) using drones then? Why did many of my pe…

Yeah, agreed. Even places I've worked with wonderful internal IT still have problem users who can't figure videoconferencing, or have damaged/misconfigured their device in a way th…

You sound like you might have some solid points in here. Next time try adding a few citations, and less rants about your perception of young adult women.

Pretty sure the average citizen doesn't carry the Daishō any longer these days. Unless they're all actually ninjas with concealed weapons.

Pretty sure a lightning link is more "elect-fire", not select-fire. Not to mention much more dangerous than the relatively well documented and simple (highly illegal without an SOT…

Have you tried Elite Dangerous? It's totally playable from the chair.

This approach, for us, proved fastest when we scaled it using Kubernetes compared to the others we tried.
