Congrats Snigdha!
PS - for anyone wondering why "Juggernaut", I'd guess it has something to do with being a sanskrit derived word. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juggernaut

The NSA leak is troubling, yes. It is NOT comparable to the horrors of communist authoritarianism - where 20 million people were killed, starved, or simply disappeared. To me, this seems like a cheap shock tactic more common on stations like Fox News where the labels "nazi" or "socialist" are thrown around without thought. These words have deep historical roots and deep meaning, and to use them in situations where it isn't appropriate is trivializing. A government can be intrusive and overstep its bounds without earning the label of 'Stasi'. We can have a conversation about the power and role of government in this country without drawing these hyperbolic and historically inaccurate parallels.

Nope - looks like it's back online, at least for me. I think the response is just timing out, perhaps a heavy traffic issue.

I'm now getting 404 errors for the web profiles:

...but I was building a crawler for fun and have been making tons of requests - the other pages seem to be working just fine. Anyone else having trouble? Did Snapchat do the right thing and shut down user profiles?

We use an established third party credit card processing platform, so no financial information is stored locally.
