Poisoned burger? Luxury. We were served dingy water reclaimed from the train radiator and a pigeon what had flown against a window and died, and told to fend for ourselves. At night a drunken conductor would thrash us all to sleep with a br

I'm very curious why an anonymous site that doesn't even allow registered users gets 100k worth of cookies on a typical connection. Not saying you're doing anything wrong, just curious. I assume some of it is for ad tracking,

Neat! Did you play with using ffmpeg on audio at all? I saw you had mp4 and mpeg codecs - did you experiment with anything that would allow mp3 like libmp3lame? I have an audio processing tool that I'd love to move into the browser.

This ignores the context of the system, which is everything in this controversy. Apple did not say, "Here's iMessage, it is much more secure than SMS." Apple said (in essence), "Here's iMessage, we couldn't tap
