I will say, not too long ago there was some question if I had setup a WhatsApp account with my number due to some emails I was receiving. Not wanting to install the app and unwittingly create an account just by checking if I had one, my wife created a group chat with just her and my number, sent a message, and then we saw it get marked as read by all. Which in an E2EE system should not have been possible without me having the app setup. so I did go ahead and wiped an old and setup the app to make sure I was in control of any account for my number, and I did then receive that group chat. But still, very sketchy.

An e2ee group chat would need every member to have every other member’s public key. So for 5 people, your client would sign with your private key and send 4 unique messages encrypted each with 1 other person’s public key. Each of them would decrypt their copy of the message with their private key and verify the signature with your public key. So I think what arcterus was saying was that employee who requests access to a user’s messages then becomes just another member of a group chat, but the UI just doesn’t show it as such. Every message you send is then secretly encrypted, on your client, with their special public key and sent to them to be decrypted. That would still be E2EE.

depends on the person.

Please cite the legal mechanism that Obama and the Democratic Senate minority had available to them to force the confirmation of Supreme Court a nominee in 2016. Please be aware that Obama did nominate someone for that vacancy. In fact he nominated someone the Republicans themselves name-dropped as a good option. They methodically and purposefully prevented over 100 judicial nominees from receiving a vote, because they held the majority and there was no legal way to get around it.

he’d have some 'splaining to do.

God damnit

do you get some kind of financial kick-back for linking with these janky-ass URLs or something?

I enjoyed it, but the planned sequel with Sam and Quora would have been more satisfying.

Impeachment is the House voting to put the President on trial in the Senate. The Senate is then to hear the evidence and vote whether or not to remove the President from office. Trump was impeached twice but the Senate voted partisanly to keep him in office both times.

Hillary won the popular vote in 2016.

In this context ‘hung’ could also be an adjective indicating he has a gigantic dong. So I really think we should be sticklers about hanged vs hung here.

This post made me think “if there’s lesbian porn for the male gaze, is there gay porn for the female gaze?”

for straight women it’s just the regular dude on dude gay porn. for some gay women, too.

4th, really: Popular Digg, the version that drove people to Reddit (which they labeled as v4), whatever it languished as after that and before now where I think users could only comment, and the new site that just went live.
