This seems more reasonable. However, it's not obvious that this would not itself be a trackable signature, easily distinguished from actual human behavior.

Which probably makes them even more identifiable, since it is unlikely that more than a tiny minority of Chrome users will use such an extension. This is a fundamental problem with this sort of thing: if you really want to be hard to identify, you want to make yourself look as much like the rest of the clueless rabble as possible. If only one user in ten thousand is loading themselves up with privacy extensions, it probably makes for an excellent fingerprint in and of itself.

I don't think that Thorsheim was using Tor in an attempt at any actual security, but simply to isolate the effect of keyboard timings from other potential means of identifying the user. He was using Tor to create a controlled experiment.
 

One of the things that has consistently mystified me about Americans' complacency with drone warfare is the underlying assumption that our current monopoly on drones is going to last forever. If it's ok for the U.S. to use drones to assassinate "terrorist" anti-American agitators in Yemen, what are we going to say when China starts using drones to assassinate "terrorist" Chinese dissidents on American soil, or Europe, or elsewhere? For all intents and purposes, we're already using killbots, and the really important point here is that airborne killbots can be used (for now) with impunity across borders.

"American Exceptionalism" basically means we allow ourselves to commit war crimes with impunity.

This one is going to generate a thoughtful, nuanced discussion.

I doubt she has an opinion one way or another on systemd.

This is an issue that I think is handled beautifully by Ubuntu's release system. LTS releases come out on a relatively steady schedule, with bleeding-edge releases in between. I personally stick with LTS releases, which come out often enough to keep me up to date with features, etc., but without lots of things breaking all the time.

And, yes, I like Unity very much.

Here come the SJWs again, oppressing male gamers! Feminazis get offended by anything.

So a bunch of heavily armed people knocked down all the doors in your house, shot your dog, and handcuffed you and your family; quit being such a PC whiner.

If I encrypt something and lose my key, I should lose my data. But this policy is about authentication (i.e. proving your identity) and not encryption. They're different things, except for some reason they are almost always conflated.

Whereupon you'll transmit it to another patient. Selection bias much?

I submit Parent as Poster Child for the problem.

Sadly, this is one of the least delusional posts on this story so far.

I don't know about you, but I personally would like to see science applied to policy much more often than it is.

Man, they're putting everything in the cloud these days!

Very sorry. I forgot to include the links too! I meant conservatives and liberals.
