This. It's relentless. Both email and SMS spam.

10k is absolutely something in an authoritarian country when there is no free speech at all or freedom of assembly. And serious repercussions for those seen as against Putin.

This is an amazing twisting of facts and rewriting of history. Propaganda at its best.

Here's video of a test launch from their website, if you're curious:

Any Google search on this shows your stats are wildly incorrect.

Maybe different countries have different laws or regulations on this sort of thing? I don't know.

Yes, it's news.

Original title: Microsoft says Windows 11 File Explorer ads were ‘not intended to be published externally’

I tried to fit the original title in this submission but HN restricted the length

There's pros and cons to every living situation. The frustration you're experiencing is entirely of your own creation. I'm glad the post office has not spent time optimizing their program on the edgiest of edge cases here, like your housing decision to live in a house with no mailbox. Maybe they eventually get around to it, but in no way should they have waited to roll this out to address your use case.

I struggled with this to start, because if you begin with words that have vowels AEIOU then the real word will have only Y's in it. Like SHYLY, which I just got. So start off with a word with a Y and you'll avoid that fate :)

I think you're looking at this all wrong. If Telegram did this officially with Google, would they have had to craft this klunky workaround for breaking up RPC strings and randomizing the user agent? I don't think so.

Also the Google Pay analogy seems off. Telegram backdooring free access to Google Translate is not at all the same as Google partnering with 4 banks for transaction processing. One is totally unofficial, the other is an actual partnership.

This, and since you both have the Facebook app installed, it saw that you two occupied the same exact GPS coordinates for a while IRL. Various signals of connection.

Honest question: who is this person and why is it on HN?

> "Sometime in 2014 or early 2015, China's State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping told members of the Apple Maps team to make the Diaoyu Islands, the objects of a long-running territorial dispute between China and Japan, appear large even when users zoomed out from them. Chinese regulators also threatened to withhold approval of the first Apple Watch, scheduled for release in 2015, if Apple didn't comply with the unusual request, according to internal documents."

> "Some members of the team back at Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., initially balked at the demand. But the Maps app had become a priority for Apple, so eventually the company complied. The Diaoyu Islands, when viewed in Apple Maps in mainland China, continue to appear on a larger scale than surrounding territories."

Total subservience to Chinese government.

This is interesting, but not exactly news. Has been known for decades.

Welcome to the new Microsoft. Same as the old Microsoft.

You're confusing annual and quarterly revenue. YT made $7B in revenue this quarter. Implies a > $28B annual rev stream.

My default intuition is that on a nation-state level, everyone is constantly hacking everyone else. Wonder what the reality is.

The Cerebras chip really stands out in terms of the chip industry's relationship to Moore's law. Look at the graphs in this article for reference:

Oracle's cloud is an also-ran. Just follow the investment the cloud giants are making. Oracle is not even in the same league. From:

"Google’s incremental CAPEX spend in 2018 is about what cloud pretender Oracle has spent on CAPEX throughout their entire history."

Don't paint all academics negatively with a broad brush due to the failings of a few.

State university professors are technically "government employees." There are, of course, some absolutely brilliant academics out there.
