В 1835 году комета Галлея пролетела рядом с Землёй, и спустя две недели после её перигелия родился Марк Твен. В 1909 году он написал: «Я пришёл в 1835 году с Кометой Галлея, через год она снова прилетает, и я рассчитываю уйти вместе с ней».
Эти слова оказались пророческими: Марк Твен скончался 21 апреля 1910 года, на следующий день после очередного перигелия кометы. #фотоплёнка

The Bureau of Labor Statistics' February Consumer Price Index (CPI) this week showed another surge in prices even before Russia escalated its attacks in Ukraine.

Individual messages can be fully encrypted. But the user has to turn on that function. It's not automatic, as it is on Signal and WhatsApp. Pavel Durov, a billionaire who embraces an all-black wardrobe and is often compared to the character Neo from "the Matrix," funds Telegram through his personal wealth and debt financing. And despite being one of the world's most popular tech companies, Telegram reportedly has only about 30 employees who defer to Durov for most major decisions about the platform.
