Course

The source of the Khroma is at the confluence of the Tamteken and the Nemalak-Arangas, flowing down from the Polousny Range.[2] It crosses the Yana-Indigirka Lowland, part of the greater East Siberian Lowland. It flows across the tundra roughly northeastwards and finally it has its mouth in Khromskaya Bay which is connected with the East Siberian Sea. Owing to its extreme northerly location the Khroma River freezes up in early October and remains icebound until June.

Wetlands

The Kytalyk Wetlands, located between the Khroma and the Sundrun (Khroma-Sundrun Interfluvial Area) is an ecologically important area, providing a favorable habitat for many rare animals. The region is practically uninhabited and full of lakes and marshes. Wild reindeer, Siberian cranes, Canadian cranes, marsh sandpipers and Ross's gulls are abundant in the Khroma River wetlands.[3]

The lesser white-fronted goose,[4] brent goose, Bewick's swan and the spectacled eider are also found in the Khroma-Sundrun Interfluvial Area.[5]

Gold and tin mining upriver are affecting the ecology of the region by destroying fish and bird habitat.[6]

gollark: > > App behavior changes slightly if they know you're trying to figure out what they're doing> this sentence makes no sense to me, "if they know"? he's dissecting the code as per his own statement, thus looking at rows of text in various format. the app isn't running - so how can it change? does the app have self-awareness? this sounds like something out of a bad sci-fi movie from the 90's.It's totally possible for applications to detect and resist being debugged a bit.
gollark: > this is standard programming dogma, detailed logging takes a lot of space and typically you enable logging on the fly on clients to catch errors. this is literally cookie cutter "how to build apps 101", and not scary. or, phrased differently, is it scary if all of that logging was always on? obviously not as it's agreed upon and detailed in TikTok's privacy policy (really), so why is it scary that there's an on and off switch?This is them saying that remotely configurable logging is fine and normal; I don't think them being able to arbitrarily gather more data is good.
gollark: > on the topic of setting up a proxy server - it's a very standard practice to transcode and buffer media via a server, they have simply reversed the roles here by having server and client on the client, which makes sense as transcoding is very intensive CPU-wise, which means they have distributed that power requirement to the end user's devices instead of having to have servers capable of transcoding millions of videos.Transcoding media locally is not the same as having some sort of locally running *server* to do it.
gollark: That doesn't mean it's actually always what happens.
gollark: Legally, yes.
