Did Google show the phone number to contacts when 2FA was added?

You are correct. Authenticator is now available, I used to check every month and I didn't before writing this comment and resulting in stale information.

> prohibited from using telephone numbers obtained to enable a security feature (e.g., two-factor authentication) for advertising

Facebook is not alone in misuse or wrongful use of phone number given for 2FA. LinkedIn explicitly requires phone number to be added on the profile to enable 2FA and makes the phone number visible by default to all the contacts, if you don't want your phone number visible; you'll have to loose 2FA as LinkedIn doesn't support authenticator or other alternate 2FA means(FB does).

I came to know this as after I enabled 2FA on LinkedIn, I started receiving messages from random people on WhatsApp whom I later found to be my LinkedIn contacts.

>If you don't have soap

I don't think unavailability of soap posed higher risk than unavailability of the toilet by itself. I guess areas where soap/water is unavailable, they go 'Bear Grylls' of cleaning with leafs.

obviously yes, apparently general social consensus here seems it is hygienic than using paper to do the job.

At-least middle class families & above have water faucet to go along with western model toilets; though the concept of using tissue paper for cleaning shit is still alien for majority here.

> Carl Sagan once hypothesized that the cultural link between left-handedness and badness arose due to the left hand’s use for hygiene purposes in nonindustrialized countries

e.g In India, people eat with their right hand and clean shit with their left; both in bare hands along with water without any tools.

Password store is an excellent alternative to paid applications.

I have recently submitted a bug, be careful when saving a password with duplicate name (it replaces old password without warning); not sure if it has been fixed.[1]

I've already seen the bomb go off with an extension.

A top rated chrome extension was inserting porn Ads in Youtube's companion renderer element. Google removed it after I tweeted about it though.
