I wonder if there is something more behind this operation than the indictment document shows:

- the indictment is valid only on the territory of France

- Durov, although he knew, flies straight to Paris from Azerbaidjan

- Durov was in Azerbaidjan at the same time as Putin


Possible he chose French courts over Russian tea.

I believe this has some correlation with timing of the UN cybercrime treaty.

I could be wrong but i thought the arrest warrants were made while midflight to france

Of course its politically motivated otherwise Zuckerberg would have been arrested already 100 times.

Appearing to try to comply, responding promptly to questions, etc means a lot to governments. While meta may not moderate well, they do obviously try, and they cooperate with requests (they reply, meet, etc)

Exactly and spending all that money on all that. As long as the extortion racket is paid you can operate under theatrics. Regulatory moat anyone?

Ah come on. Plenty examples of misbehavior of Meta. Especially outside of the US.

Governments get upset when you break the law

They get really upset when you also stonewall them


"the U.S. currently pays $3,000 for its most modern shells, according to an Army spokesperson. That price includes the charge, fuze, and shell body." [1]

Actually, I have a Samsung S20+ and "Do not disturb" works pretty well, even scheduled


Yes, unless you are under warranty or there is a critical patch release. This habit emerged since the 'strategic' merge with Micro Focus. I think they are, in fact, in charge with all software side of HPE.

Living on a sailboat, the cool water would not be a problem. Just some filters to avoid clogging the cooling ducts.


They grow faster but weaker, with lower density (cf. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foreco.2018.07.045)


I would suspect they would gradually evolve to grow stronger?


The fact that they blamed the French flight plan already accepted by Eurocontrol proves that they didn't really know how the software works. And here the Austrian company should take part of the blame for the lack of intensive testing.


They blamed the French because they are British, that's it. It's hard to get rid of bad habits.


But, but, but... ...the EU!


The same instinct led to something called Brexit ;)


The top tube seems to have a small removable part, few inches behind the head. Else, there is not much to access the inside because of the seat post and head ... The tension forces favor the model because at that point there is only compression, so the tube closes itself.


Ah, true of course! One indeed can't get to the top tube from the front. But from the rear, I assume you will have to remove the seat but then you do get access to the components deep in the top tube.


Sometimes it's easier to accept an "out-of-the-box" idea than to accept that your defence has failed.


I wonder how many UFO stories are just unintended consequences of internal ass covering and procedural hacks.

Imagine there was an incident involving one or more flying objects, perfectly mundane and of terrestrial origin, being seen where they shouldn't have been, or misidentified in an embarrassing way. The kind of incident that would, normally, get some of the people involved fired. Except in this case, recorded evidence is scant and inconclusive enough that the people in question can report it upstairs as UFO sighting, and thus get to keep their jobs. Protocol having been followed, nobody bothers them about it.

Fast forward some amount of years, and the report ends up being leaked, declassified, or just read by the wrong person - either way, the public gets wind of it. What then? It would be nice for the government to tell the public what really happened, but the only people in position to do so are the ones who would get fired or imprisoned the moment they admit it might have not been an UFO after all. So of course they'll stay out of the spotlight, and hum the "X-Files" theme when asked directly.

In such cases, there would be no aliens, no secret military hardware - nothing The Government tries to keep silent about. Just ordinary people covering an ordinary fuckup with an unusual story, and sticking to it over the years.
