Re:230, or not 230? That is the EARN IT question on Wednesday April 08, 2020 @03:57PM (#22816436)
The Signal App, which is open source, periodically sends truncated cryptographically hashed phone numbers to the Signal server, which is also open source. The server does not store the truncated hashes that the app sends to the server. So, they only temporarily have partial hashes which they do not store or share with anyone.
Re:Kolonya: Turkey's unique hand-sanitizing method on Wednesday April 08, 2020 @01:52PM (#22815273)
Is that right? I haven't seen things other than spirits use proof as a measurement rather than ABV. I don't know about Turkish kolnya but colognes are typically 70-90% ABV.

Yahoo was the default from around 2014-2017 in the United States.
The Uniform Commercial Code [1] in the United States says that:

> A signature may be made (i) manually or by means of a device or machine, and (ii) by the use of any name, including a trade or assumed name, or by a word, mark, or symbol executed or adopted by a person with present intention to authenticate a writing.

IANAL but I would think that this program would fall under "by means of a device" and thus be considered valid.
