If they saw the person's username, then they can keep tracking that username. Same with any type of cookies. Https obviously makes it harder to do on sites they don't own, but it still works on http sites and https sites they own.

The article says they fairly quickly tried to reduce speed once they noticed something was wrong. But due to a (UI?) mistake they only reduced speed for 1 engine. It wasn't until 3 minutes later they finally fixed that mistake but by t

Except he probably sees hundreds of ads for things he's never talked about for 20 years. It's not scientific at all, because he has no way of distinguishing a listening ad from luck. My statistical method would distinguish that. B

That could easily have been a random ad, combined with something like the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon. To be a scientific test it needs a list of products, and then randomly assign half into a study group and half in to a control group. Then

I know. But you shouldn't lump the dangerousness of HPKP on HSTS. Also with HPKP you shouldn't just pin one key. You should pin several keys you own as well as several root and intermediate keys. But I agree it's very difficu

Are you talking only about EV certs? Because DV certs don't really display your enterprise name, at least not in an easily accessible location for users to see.

Is there any evidence that badBIOS actually exists? From what I heard, the researcher never found any real evidence.

Another potential problem for people who pinned certs. There should be a standard to pin EV-ness. That way you know all certificates for your site have been issued by an audited process and not by dns hijacking.

Reminds me of badBIOS[1]. A security researcher became sure he was infected by a very advanced piece of malware that could hide itself completely. Many people think it was just his imagination. [1] https://arstechnica.com/in

How is there an argument that it would take too much code? He gives the example of how inserting an off-by-one error can lead to complete compromise of your machine. Inserting an off-by-one error shouldn't be too much code.

Does the government deny passports or driver licenses/IDs to people on those lists? Because that would be the equivalent here. I'm not saying the government wouldn't do it. I'm saying you would have constitutional basis

With the government you have free speech rights, so you can sue them if they close your account. With private companies you have no free speech rights and they can close your account whenever they want. So account closure seems like a posit

It would heat the outside air only temporarily. Eventually the heat would seep back into your house and it would be back like it started. Of course 100% efficiency isn't actually possible.

Where do you get the 5ms from? Why is 192 more likely to have lower latency? I would think the higher bandwidth required by 192 has the possibility to slow your computer down and cause more latency.

More of a former opponent. I don't think he's running for anything anymore. There's plenty of nasty stuff in US politics as well. This article is refreshing.

Yes, absolutely we should try to eliminate racism and society would be better off in every way. But there are many methods to eliminate racism. Do we want to persecute them and turn them into martyrs? Or do we want to educate them and chang
