part of it is already being done: judges in France just ask companies like FAANG for location data, including live location. E2E encryption is the only way for companies to be able to refuse (and this is why there’s been a strong governmental push against it).

The scary new part is the turning on the camera/mic.

anyone knows how Russia limited the access?

(lived in Russia until 2021, not authorative source of info)

All ISP providers are required to have black boxes installed on-site. These boxes can do traffic shaping (e.g. Twitter is degraded) and basic filtering based on IP addresses. I think, deep packet inspection is also feasible.

Config updates are pushed centrally to these boxes.

Self-managed VPNs still work.

What about Tor?

Or if Twitter gets more IP addresses, they'll work for a short while, until black box config updated?

Tor provides degraded access without government intervention.

Tor is for nerds, they don't count. You can't expect regular people to run Tor on their phones.

If I ask if there's any place to buy rollerblades nearby, do you think that means I expect everyone to go by rollerblades?

These ISP blackboxes central command should be a prime target now.

I would really like to see photos/videos of this

Zenly | Mobile Engineers | Full Time | Paris, France | Onsite | https://zen.ly

Hey you! Zenly here. https://zen.ly/jobs

We wanted an easy way to know what our friends were doing. Naturally we created an app - a map that lets you see your friends and what they're up to.

We are creators, change makers, we love to learn together by doing and trying and we are looking for passionate people that we can learn from and learn with.

Let's chat if you are an engineer looking for real challenges and who would like building a product that brings millions closer to their friends and family.

We love:

* Engineers who like to code and don't take shortcuts creating features that have an immediate impact.

* Performing and delightful user experiences, Reactive Streams (RxSwift, RxJava), working on the edge of device's capabilities.

* Rust, Go, high-traffic architectures, realtime processing of insane amounts of data, distributed systems and their problematics.

If any of this is raising your excitement level, give it a go and apply. If not sure, e-mail me at franco@zen.ly and let's see together.

Some of these are wrong: Rappi used PHP exclusively for it's first year, for instance

If you can send me a source for that (on Twitter @charlieinthe6), I'm happy to make that change!

Can we also submit it via HN? If so, my understanding is that Pagerduty is running and long-term invested in Elixir (https://www.pagerduty.com/blog/elixir-at-pagerduty/) and Podium has migrated from Ruby to Elixir as the main stack (https://medium.com/podium-engineering/two-years-of-elixir-at...). Thanks!

Edit: oops, I see now it is the initial language. Indeed PagerDuty started using Elixir only later on. Although one could argue Elixir was part of Podium in its initial growth.

Exactly - trying to capture what language they started with.

It was by no means a perfect science - was a lot of digging around on the internet for the oldest reference I could find!

Great point! Will make the change now.

I agree, it would be awesome. Thinks like virzoom bike controller are pretty fun and unlock unexpected use cases (see https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/5y15vx/elit... for a fun take on that)

Great update! What's a recommended routine to start with?

Thanks! There are plenty of breathing exercises but the one I use the most is the 4-4-4-4 (it comes by default). I also enable progression, increasing each time interval by 0.1 seconds every two minutes for 20/30 times (you can tweak all of this in preferences).

I've tried it for a little bit and it was great!
