Didn't all of the "scandals" start in Q4 2016 in the first place?

This is basically saying, look we were on a good trajectory from Q3-Q4.

But the question is, what happened after that?

The vote count sure looked like it to me.

https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/115-2017/h202#admin_p...

Yea 215 (Republican 215, Democrat 0) Nay 205 (Republican 15, Democrat 190)

I just see an entirely blank white page. with `SecurityError: The operation is insecure.` in the console.

> "it's not something a general attacker can do but it would enable WhatsApp/Facebook to read conversations"

So it downgrades "end-to-end encryption" to "transport layer security".

Perhaps upvote/downvote could be replaced with ontopic/offtopic. Or goodpoint/badargument.

There are more than two decisions. Vote for a third party. Help them get federal funding and onto the debate stage.

No, you should not spend every evening absorbing politics. But you should spend a few hours one time looking at (all of) the options and their positions.

When I first downloaded the app, it was actually tracking my Firefox usage somehow (github.com, news.ycombinator.com).

Unfortunately I restarted soon afterwards, and now all of the Firefox usage just shows up as "Neutral" =/

But it was working nicely at first :)

Serious question: Why is this a bad thing, and how would you do it differently?

You need the password to be "plaintext" in the input field in the browser, so how do you get it there?

Give the extension access to your private keys and master password to do decryption there? Is the browser a safer environment than an app on your machine?

Or maybe they already are thumbnails, and the site is suffering from the Hacker News effect... =o

Should totally add thumbnails. The mouseover would be more convenient for users and bandwidth costs would be lower.
