That's 26% of US states, but potentially much more than 26% of the US population (have not computed, but Texas, New York, Florida and, to a lesser extent, Washington all have large populations).
Hi, I experienced some auditory sensation for a few videos. The police sirens were particularly vivid - I imagined a series of rising tones quite involuntarily. The description of this sound as coming from "inside your head" is particularly apt - it is not an auditory hallucination, it's more like something I am imagining involuntarily. Interestingly, what I imagine is the same every time I watch the video.
In retrospect, I have experienced this phenomenon everyday, but never thought much about it.
> The most important concern is that Signal is a silo [...] you have to connect to OpenWhisperSystems servers to communicate with other users.
You can run your own private Signal service with OpenWhisperSystems' tools [1].
It's also worth noting that Signal - as a protocol - could easily be federated. (As others have mentioned, Moxie has chimed in on why the app is centralized [2]).
If confederated messaging is important, why not use the existing Signal protocol implementations, (including the X3DH key exchange, ratcheting protocol, etc), which is all F/LOSS, and has already been widely reviewed (as the article mentions)?
Reposting imglorp's comment on the root of the comment tree, as it's buried currently. This should restore service for those desperately needing to access Github etc ;)

how does the webtorrent team respond to criticisms of sequential downloading in torrents?
while i personally believe folks should mirror & seed torrents regardless of how others consume these torrents, i'm curious about the developers' perspectives on this issue
in any case, this desktop app looks very slick, thanks webtorrent team for all work pushing webrtc and torrenting forward
