Or it may mean, that they decided to stop budgeting effort that led to almost zero result. RossTelekomNadzor was banning IP-ranges from the main cloud providers, that resulted in major outages of other services (that were not multi-clod) except Telegram.

People, who used Telegram did not stop using it since the very first day of official ban.

This should be a top comment in each Telegram privacy-related post or thread. Everyone is ok, that Google may read their e-mails and has full access to search details, Facebook might read their messages, 3-rd party ad-companies profile them through pixels, but at the same time start complaining, that FSB may read their Telegram messages (not proven btw).

Another thing that I'm really surprised about is the salary range for the C++ developers with RTOS experience. In case we compare this with frontend React developers, then difference will be more than 50% (React guys will be paid more). According to my understanding C++ development for projects that require RTOS is much more demanding in terms of skill and corresponding experience. I would also assume that there are much less developers with VxWorks experience: within my region I may find around 40 people with VxWorks in their CV on the job board against 1000 developers with React experience. I really hardly get the economics of the modern IT job market.

Actually, posting here from a fresh account allows to reach a quite broad audience with over-generalized warnings for ALL small businesses to take care while dealing with Stripe. The story lacks details, names timing and etc., although most of the commenters immediately believe the OP and start blaming Stripe’s support line and support processes in IT industry in general (problems exist, sure). It may be rather considered as opportunity, that someone from Stripe offers help in such situation with description that looks like blaming and crying that Stripe is EEEVIL instead of searching for advice, how to solve the problem.

Out of curiosity: I’ve noticed a long-term sceptical attitude to telegram in HN audience and have seen multiple arguments against it. Something like that their crypto can’t be trusted, that it’s not time-proven. Don’t you know any good source with some sort of domain expert explanation, why shouldn’t it be used or trusted? No intention to start any flame against Signal, only curiosity regarding telegram flaws. Personal point of view is also appreciated.
