PAVEL DUROV - FOUNDER TELGEAM ON DIGITAL FREEDOM
"Our ship (Digital freedom) has already hit the iceberg. We have already started to sink without even realizing it."
"Elon Musk said that the European Commission offered him a secret deal where they demanded that he conducts censorship of certain political narratives on his platform. And in exchange, the European Commission promised him not to enforce certain fines and laws on his company. Elon Musk said that he refused that offer. But most other platforms accepted it. Then Elon's company was hit by a 120 million euro fine from the European Commission for seemingly unrelated issues."
"In the world of AI, if we give up our right to privacy, you can be certain that every message that you send will be monitored, will be analyzed. Every draft, every thought, every idea will be scored. Every relationship will be mapped. The future can become much darker and more dystopian than the Soviet Union of the '80s."
In a world drifting toward censorship and surveillance, X and Telegram may be the last major platforms still fighting for digital freedom.
Finally, so sick!
We all wanted to make this but the problem was Google owned the 3d data and charged a lot for it
You made a web game using Google's 3d tiles and quickly your bill would be $10,000
Microsoft Flight Simulator runs on Microsoft's Bing Maps 3d data so that's why they can do it
Now I hope Google gets more serious about this and adds real plane models and multiplayer with combat (Microsoft's Flight Simulator never allows that) which would be super fun
I'm pretty excited to move off of Wise Business permanently after realizing I can't just transfer my money out when I need to
They keep my money hostage for 10-14 days at least for a big transfer, like they literally won't transfer my money
I remember when dinosaur banks did this? Like they'd purposely delay transfers or not transfer at all in the weekend to then make money on the interest of it
But now fintechs like Wise have started doing it too?
Obviously you don't want to use fintechs to store lots of money, but sometimes you receive money and you wanna transfer it elsewhere (like your broker) but Wise just delays that entire process by 2 weeks, which is quite mad!
Excited to move to @Stripe Business banking ASAP!
