«…if you ask a traditional combinatorialists they would be happy to tell you they they like their area to be trend-resistant. They wouldn’t use these words, obviously, but rather say something about timeless, or beautiful art (…) If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, then you already know how I feel about such backward-looking views. When these win, the area becomes stale, isolated, and eventually ignored by both junior researchers and the “establishment” (…) Personally, I don’t see this happening in part due to the influence of Theoretical Computer Science (…)

As the war in Ukraine rages, the messaging app Telegram has emerged as the go-to place for unfiltered live war updates for both Ukrainian refugees and increasingly isolated Russians alike. After fleeing Russia, the brothers founded Telegram as a way to communicate outside the Kremlin's orbit. They now run it from Dubai, and Pavel Durov says it has more than 500 million monthly active users. Investors took profits on Friday while they could ahead of the weekend, explained Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research. Saturday and Sunday could easily bring unfortunate news on the war front—and traders would rather be able to sell any recent winnings at Friday’s earlier prices than wait for a potentially lower price at Monday’s open. But Telegram says people want to keep their chat history when they get a new phone, and they like having a data backup that will sync their chats across multiple devices. And that is why they let people choose whether they want their messages to be encrypted or not. When not turned on, though, chats are stored on Telegram's services, which are scattered throughout the world. But it has "disclosed 0 bytes of user data to third parties, including governments," Telegram states on its website. Although some channels have been removed, the curation process is considered opaque and insufficient by analysts.
