Did the author of the article submit his findings to the Tor Project?

I'm sure at least one developer of the Tor project reads hacker news.

EDIT:

Far more interesting is the author's most recent article.... wtf

Unless JavaScript is disabled, this arms race is going to continue forever.

Doesn't tor browser use No Script by default?

Yeah, but a lot of sites use javascript. Furthermore, I believe most tor users will disable noscript if they find a site that doesn't work.

Yes, but JavaScript is still enabled by default[1].
