🛤 Обычно от должности градоначальника все бегут, как от огня, но не в Южном Урале. Здесь на конкурс по выбору мэра Челябинска уже заявились аж 18 кандидатов.
Тут буквально ассортимент, как на региональных выборах депутатов: и менеджеры, и пенсионеры, и бизнесмены, и силовики, и бюджетники, и депутаты, и даже журналисты. Не хватает только инфоцыган и моделей. И что-то нам подсказывает: завтра, в последний день подачи заявлений, можно ждать еще некоторых кандидатов.
Сам конкурс пройдет символично — в День октябрьской революции: 7 ноября.

What distinguishes the app from competitors is its use of what's known as channels: Public or private feeds of photos and videos that can be set up by one person or an organization. The channels have become popular with on-the-ground journalists, aid workers and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who broadcasts on a Telegram channel. The channels can be followed by an unlimited number of people. Unlike Facebook, Twitter and other popular social networks, there is no advertising on Telegram and the flow of information is not driven by an algorithm.

The initial signals were promising, especially given Telegram’s user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash – worth more than a billion dollars – to help develop the coin before opening sales to the public. Unfortunately, third-party sales of coins bought in those initial fundraising rounds raised the ire of the SEC, which brought the hammer down on the whole operation. In 2020, officials ordered Telegram to pay a fine of $18.5 million and hand back much of the cash that it had raised.

This has proven to be both a blessing and a curse for Telegram and its users, since these channels can be used for both good and ill. Right now, as Wired reports, the app is a key way for Ukrainians to receive updates from the government during the invasion. "There are several million Russians who can lift their head up from propaganda and try to look for other sources, and I'd say that most look for it on Telegram," he said. READ MORE
