Politico claims to have (exclusively) seen a French administrative document that narrows the focus to a single case where Telegram did not respond to legal request for user information. Copied from the article, here are a few key points:
> The arrest warrants were issued after the messaging platform gave "no answer" to an earlier judicial request to identify a Telegram user, according to the document, which was shared with POLITICO by a person directly involved in the case.
> Warrants for Pavel and his brother Nikolai, the platform’s co-founder, were issued on March 25 over charges including “complicity in possessing, distributing, offering or making available pornographic images of minors, in an organized group.”
> The warrants were issued after an undercover investigation into Telegram led by the cybercrime branch of the Paris prosecutor's office, during which a suspect discussed luring underaged girls into sending "self-produced child pornography," and then threatening to release it on social media.
> The suspect also told the investigators he had raped a young child, according to the document. Telegram did not respond to the French authorities’ request to identify the suspect.
> There’s no suggestion either of the Durov brothers were directly involved in any of the illegal activities identified by the investigation.
The claim that oils rich in linoleic acid (e.g. seed oils) increase inflammation was looked at in, "a systematic review of randomized controlled trials that permitted the assessment of dietary LA (linoleic acid) on biologic markers of chronic inflammation among healthy noninfant populations was conducted to examine this concern."...
"We conclude that virtually no evidence is available from randomized, controlled intervention studies among healthy, noninfant human beings to show that addition of LA to the diet increases the concentration of inflammatory markers"

A consultant who did some work with a company contracted by OPM to manage personnel records for a number of agencies told Ars that he found the Unix systems administrator for the project "was in Argentina and his co-worker was physically located in the [People's Republic of China]. Both had direct access to every row of data in every database: they were root. Another team that worked with these databases had at its head two team members with PRC passports. I know that because I challenged them personally and revoked their privileges. From my perspective, OPM compromised this information more than three years ago and my take on the current breach is 'so what's new?'"
These coupons expire (if not used) in less than ~6 hours and there are still a few un-used ones:
1 .XYZ
1 .EU
The following were claimed but as of yet not used. If they are not used in the next 2-3 hours, I will pass them on to the anyone else who will make sure to use them before the deadline later today.
I've been Duolingo for a week (so far) to learn basic German and I like the site. The initial lessons I am doing are in nice small bite-sized pieces, so you can do a section in like 15 minutes. It keeps track of your position and you can go back there later. It also sends you daily reminder emails. Useful, overall.
As someone of the "Facebook generation", I have to say my mind was blown by this video. Thanks for sharing.
I feel there is clearly a trend line one could draw here in the evolution of social networking and social media. Since the initial era of social networking, friction was reduced (e.g. Instagram / Twitter) and now it's moving to be both frictionless and ephemeral (Snapchat).
It's interesting because the trend almost leads you something like life broadcasting (e.g. Justin.tv) - but we've already been there. I wonder what the next phase will be.
WHOOOAAA.... I didn't know about the story feature. I thought it was still just a glorified MMS with an alleged unrecoverable-delete-in-10-secs feature.
As someone who really respects and likes Snapchat, I had no idea the impact it was having on modern culture. I could not have come up with this experience.
