I guess the chinese content is disappointing because lack of freedom of speech. but why don't you travel to china ? to have real conversations with real people

IMHO just weapon. War effort. Cannon fodder.


unless you are Facebook and tightly collaborating with police and intelligence in countries with no respect for human rights


it's not poor, it's clever. that marketing is what made agile the dominant paradigm nowadays. remember agile was adopted in entreprise despite IBM pushing RUP


there's no market for supersonic mass transportation. the market is the ultrawealthy who will spend whatever on the fastest private plane. the startup insight here is : the rich are getting richer


the name means sky in French


Give the seal wings then


How do we make the wings look French?


Give them pencil mustaches and a cigarette.


  Nothing more, nothing less
Telegram has been operating for years and did not change recently to justify such an action yesterday. There's something more certainly. Maybe they did not comply with requests related to recent war in Ukraine or genocide in Palestine ?


The initial investigation which triggered the arrest was made by the OFMIN ("Office spécialisé dans la lutte contre les violences faites aux mineurs" basically the government branch tracking and fighting CSAM).

Supposedly, Telegram (and by definition of the french law, the CEO) did not respond to requests for takedown of harmful content (or not enough or faster?) from the the OFMIN. This triggered another investigation looking globally at how Telegram handle content moderation on the public part of Telegram (Channel) which lead to all others charges of complicity.

This is basically the CEO taking the fall because the (unreachable by french law) Telegram company is not on french soil and he made the mistake on landing here.


is there a game where you're the indigenous people and you are trying to stop an empire colonizing you ?


I wondered this myself and found some. I've played: When Rivers Were Trails, Thunderbird Strike, Dialect, Zulu Dawn, This Land Is My Land. There are a lot of options in boardgames (maybe more than with video games?), such as Burn the Fort.


thank you


Most paradox games enable this to some degree. It's pretty limited in terms of imagining what this could look like outside of the european conceptualization of civilization progress but it's there.

A Fireproof Casing which REALLY Works!

Scared of battery fires? I know that we are!

This is why our Infinite Battery comes with a casing that we designed to resist the heat of a fire, thanks to it's thick aluminum casing, and a design which dissipates heat quickly.

And YES THIS WORKS! We have put a massive effort in making our casing sustain the battery fire, and extensively tested it (videos coming soon), so you can sleep safely (and us too!!). See our complete fireproof testing on our documentation/FAQ


Prevention is better than cure though. plus you've got to consider cell gassing/venting/explosion risk/toxic fumes as well as fire prevention.

If they were doing per-cell protection, fair enough (cheap 18650's don't have cell protection usually), but I think they are still connecting 4 cells in parallel, with only serial-bank MOSFET's like in usual sealed packs.


(if they're using PTC themistors between the parallel cells to prevent over-current, it's all good though I suppose)


> a casing that we designed to resist the heat of a fire, thanks to it's thick aluminum casing, and a design which dissipates heat quickly

Thus turning a difficult to deal with Li-Ion inferno into a slightly less difficult to deal with block of superheated aluminum, that will happily set on fire anything that looks at it funny?

This is always my concern about fire-proof metal casings for batteries: where do you put that so it doesn't set anything on fire?


Indeed it will get hot, but it is better than having one's house burn down! :)


>and extensively tested it

By themselves or independent 3rd parties with deep experience in battery safety testing?


X is under juridiction of a country intimately tied to genocide. No moral high ground in any "intimate ties" to any government involved.
