I also have a couple of tangential ideas for weighting endorsements: - Expertise match: e.g. Elon Musk endorsing a rocket engines book vs history book - Strength of endorsement: e.…

Yes, it's by homomorphic encryption as @vintermann mentioned. That being said, scientists can implement their own protocols, and use whatever technique they want. For example: http…

You can do that by encrypting the names. You send encrypted names to the FHE-server, and then the server does necessary sorting computations on it. The point of FHE is it can opera…

You can reduce anything happening on the computer to arithmetic operations. If you can do additions and multiplications, then it's turing complete. All others can be constructed fr…

An FHE Google today would be incredible expensive and incredibly slow. No one would pay for it. The key question I think is how much computing speed will improve in the future. If …

Exactly. That's another point

Completely agree. It's one of the most important skills to know which dependency is good and which is bad. My two cents. If a dependency is paid, than it is usually bad. Because th…
