The name reminds me of Big Bismuth!

He writes: "Of course if that’s a major problem, then offering 2FA logins and password verification via cell phone wouldn’t make much sense either."
But this is not necessarily true, as spoofing a source phone number of an SMS is a lot easier than receiving an SMS that was sent to another number.

Firebase seems back up for us now.

If this is backed by Twilio cloud webRTC API, I believe that does not support more that 50 people at a time watching the video

Whittaker organized a walkout to protest the way that allegations of sexual assault were mishandled. Is there evidence that she also organized the petition related to the external AI ethics group in Google?

Not really.
The BBC is a pretty independent body, and criticizes the government often. RT is a propaganda arm of the government and is under its direct control, as all mass media in Russia now (with few exceptions).

Never regretted quitting. Every time regretted not quitting sooner.

Yep. This is precisely what Mayday.US is fighting.

More specifically, the experiment is about how to sway voters on the issue of money in politics. I particularly like this page for the big picture: https://mayday.us/the-plan/
Looking back, thinking about where we've come from against this plan from May 1st I'm pretty amazed. But of course, there is a lot more work ahead.
A lot of the media narrative around the election is "which party controls the senate" and so they would not necessarily cover non-partisan Mayday.
But we have gotten a LOT of media coverage.
This is a blog post I happen to really like: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-foster/the-impact-inves...
And here is an in-depth example of analysis of a race Mayday is involved in: http://www.nationaljournal.com/politics/is-michigan-s-most-p...

Overall, we have mostly positive feedback about Stripe, and have been happy with the usability for our users as well as on the back end. It's been especially great for mobile.
Our audience is heavily from the tech community, and people like seeing the latest technology used on a site. I remember at least one email coming in to that effect.

We were in two primaries, and our candidate won in one of them, in another he moved from 9% to 24 or so of the vote.
Today is the day we learn more. Hopefully some of our candidates will win. Another important factor to keep in mind is that this an experiment. The knowledge we generate about what it takes to move elections on this issue, and the attention we have brought to the issue of money in politics are an important part of our goals.
