This is really interesting hellcow. You've done an impressive amount of work on this. I just wanted to ask about the intelligence built into the bot. I dug through the code a bit (great documentation btw) and it seems that this is usin

Thank you for the link. That's good to know, however, as you alluded to sometimes it's not possible to alert users. In that vein, end-to-end would protect those users even if you can not alert them. Your hands are tied with somet

We disagree in opinion. I'm advocating for what I feel to be important in security and privacy and you are advocating for ease of use and features. It's not stupid, just we have different priorities.

And you'll notice it's conveniently not in the Chrome Web Store (where the average user can easily install it). It's better than nothing, but it is a bit transparent to have this tool yet not release it into their Web Store (

You're right. Governments of any country could target any user. My point was, they make a point of saying "attackers" which is not synonymous with the data they release due to government requests (which is likely a more worri

I don't believe we are that close to running out though, are we? Using the number scheme, this person calculated^1 that (assuming Amex starts issuing 16 digit cards) there would be 3*10^14 + 10^11 or 4.001e+14 possible combinations.

No problem. I think everyone got out their pitchforks without reading Mozilla's announcement and looking at the repo. There are always issues to help out on. Here's a bit more info on contributing [0]. I imagine it won't chan

As I mentioned in another comment, Mozilla stopped developing updates back in 2012 and passed it to the community. I imagine the maintenance will move likewise. If you're upset about decisions that have been made with Thunderbird, subm

I think a lot of people are forgetting that there is still a community developing it since Mozilla stopped "updating" it, beyond maintenance, in 2012. The product isn't dying, just will no longer be Mozilla backed. I assume

Microsoft seems to be getting tired of startups nipping away at their enterprise customer. The biggest question in my mind is whether the New Microsoft™ or the Old Microsoft™ that built/released this. If it's the latter, I see thi

I don't agree with the cheap freelancer part, but I can understand the nervousness around bootcamps. They teach for the 80% of basic cases that a Jr. Dev will encounter. This may be good in theory, however, I get very nervous about the
