Serious question: What’s wrong with NPR being labeled as “US-supported media”? Isn’t it funded by the US federal government?


This week, TON Foundation announced that it’s forged a partnership with Tencent Cloud, which has “already successfully supported TON validators and plans to expand its services further to help meet TON’s high compute intensity and network bandwidth needs.” Validators, in web3 lingo, are participants that help authenticate transactions in a blockchain network.
It looks like the partnership with Tencent only extends to their Web3 blockchain thing, and there doesn’t seem to be any partnership in the main app so it’s not the end of the world - at least, for now.
Also, what even is this TON blockchain? I never knew Telegram had anything to do with crypto :/


Hasn’t the founder been a vocal critic of Russia for years, including the Ukraine war? I don’t really see why that would be a concern, especially since Telegram is supposedly owned by a US LLC


Greenblatt also noted that 99.99% of the 18,000 accounts that staff cracked met the Department’s password complexity requirements — including “Password-1234.”
If a password as rudimentary as “password-1234” satisfies the complexity requirements, I think that some blame should be shared by the IT team in charge of account security…
Is that so? I thought it was a more significant source. But isn’t it technically correct, though? I’m not American, but Wikipedia says it was established by the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967.
