Regardless of whether or not sending deauth packets counts as jamming, the root problem can be solved by simply enabling and requiring protected management frames on your router/hotspot/phone. Once you have protected management fr

Aerogels aren't known for their structural strength or elasticity, but for their extreme insulative properties.

Not when normalized with read/write speeds. I can personally confirm this by scaling the PCIe bus speed of my own SM951 down to 2x lanes on 2.0 (which limits the r/w to about 550MB/s).

Instead of moving from their old NPAPI to the newer and safer PPAPI, which would work better for e10s, they simply chose to drop plugin support entirely (except for Flash). I think that's pretty lazy of them.

There is even an actual Unicode symbol for the left-pointing magnifying glass ([1]) that they are using, yet they use the PUA anyways. I use the [1] Unicode symbol semantically on my blog with a custom font at http://eligrey.com&

Not much, but every one of those came out years after mine and many of them are based on the same general flow as mine.

Don't you mean the other way around? Mine was out years before theirs. They should have googled the words "async.js" (which my lib was the top result for prior to caolan's repo) before naming their project.

Firefox has had this for over 6 years through my async.js[1] library that relied in JavaScript 1.7's pythonic iterators and generators. The syntax is similar, as you have to mark/encapsulate functions with async() to use the libra

Unfortunately, AG Bethge has not (and most likely will not) released the original code, so this is very nice to have! The results from karpathy's implementation definitely feel a little "off" but it is very good nonetheless.

Does this affect phones that can be used as hotspots? If so, you can say goodbye to any remaining Android phones that come with unlocked bootloaders, such as the Nexus series.

Oh sorry, I was thinking of shumway. Swiffy isn't open source, but it is free at least, so third party ad networks can still use it.

You don't need to be on Google's ad network to use swiffy (the conversion tool that they are using), it's open source.

Panopticlick doesn't use everything available. WebGL alone adds an additional 5.11 bits of entropy[1]. Other things such as your local network address from WebRTC, core count, etc. all can add a lot more entropy for fingerprinting. [1]

I agree that supercookies and header enrichment should be prevented whenever and however possible (e.g. header enrichment will be solved by requiring encryption à la Let's Encrypt), but fingerprinting is a lost battle that we should al

Oh, ok. Easy to mistake as Grant himself definitely did submit this a couple times in the past year, sometimes under his own ggalitz Hacker News account.

Grant Galitz, why do you keep submitting this on a new repository after Nintendo takes your old repository down (see https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2015-07-06-ninten... )? This is the 4th time
