One of the worse offenders is North which is previously thalmic labs; Not a single product has reached the market with any revenue to show but remains a poster child for a successf…

Bitcoin is not anonymous and is subject to flow analysis. Zcash and monero have solved this in different ways with really intriguing primitives. ZCash uses zksnarks which are a pse…

To reach a ketogenic state, the term fast from a clinical sense required 24-36 hour period without any caloric intake; strictly water. I have done 3 day water fasts, the hunger wav…

For those who are price sensitive like me but want all our macros; my personal app also scrapes the flyer for local grocery stores for ingredient prices and runs a knapsack algo to…

Indexing is important for sure. The problem is to preserve privacy and not falling back to heavy weight general purpose Multi-party computation we have to give up a bit on the prec…

One step further that Ive prototyped is Encrypted and Distributed Search. The VPN relays willing to take the traffic can also double as Web crawlers. The vpn clients encrypt their …

I overcame TDMA problems associated with mesh broadcast networks by moving channel allocation logic into the application layer. For me it was more important for reliable delivery t…

This sounds like the quadrigacx exit scam

Probably for its homomorphic encryption properties. Used in the correct setting with the appropriate Generator ( ElGamal on Elliptic Curve Fields) it is very secure but limited in …

the rust nightly build has the ECC curve functionality. Most of the crypto related prototyping on rust requires the nightly atm. Heres hoping integration onto wide release for the …

they mandate access through a web portal... this in itself is centralization. One can simply tamper with the website. You need to distribute a client software or use an open source…

I built a prototype of a Private Set Intersetion using elliptic curve homomorphic encryption method for this very use case: The scenario goes 1) FBI indexes the dna using MASH algo…

Starlink I think can consider heavily leveraging a multicast or hypercast protocol considering most bandwidth usage is related to video streams. Many downlinks can accept a broadca…

I think ultimately the price will be determined through government subsidies. Current Meat and Dairy Industry receives massive subsidies (~38$Bn) and the lobbying groups won't appr…

The uptake will be great however, what doesnt sit well is the 2008 12Billion bailout. As the same actors will be the nodes that are privileged to write to and maintain the ledger, …

It is a computation platform first and foremost. You can pay gas in ETH. Every opcode has a set gas price, so executing a compiled contract on the network costs you some ETH. Why w…

Hi unfortunately not :( . I wholeheartedly recommend https://learnyousomeerlang.com/ as a starting point though if your interested.

from my experience, erlang actor model had some of the strongest queue mechanics and the most resilient systems I have deployed. As some background, I worked as a contractor for a …

1) Can you clarify which users? The government issuing the search query is unable to decrypt the messages. If they flag it, they can order a warrant against the individual to decry…

Im hoping to resolve this using a "searchable encryption" scheme leveraging homomorphic encryption and elliptic curve based el-gamal. This would allow law enforcement to search for…

I imagine a decentralized search service for a particular set of search queries that users want privacy against. it leverages Additive and Multiplicative Homomorphic Encryption wit…

I started working on fuzzy matching searchable encryption for this very reason; you can send an encrypted search term and match using jaccard similarity to an encrypted index of si…

How is adsense able to complete this? I assume Google is the broker and thus completes on the match on their servers.
