Has anyone figured out how to play simple games with ZKPs? I’ve seen the sudoku paper but looking for other ones


There's lots of stuff in the literature about playing games with ZKPs. Shameless plug: I've been writing a framework for writing card games (or any game that could potentially be emulated with cards, e.g. flipping coins or rolling dice): https://github.com/rmartinho/pbmx


What do you mean by 'play'?

ZKP's let you prove some fact without disclosing the details. "I know an input that makes this program return true".

While you could construct an unusual game that made use of them, they don't generally map into the framework of "play".


Try one night ultimate werewolf... except that kind of breaks the game


When "Freedom of the Press" is under attack, newspapers/press/media have had their legal counsel file lawsuits against the government. But with the demise of revenue for many newspapers (and many going out of business), I wonder if they will take those expensive steps.


Are you aware of a foundation I can donate to that will explicitly use the money in these types of lawsuits against the government?



ACLU?


The ACLU has too many objectives, so I don't think defending journalism is their primary goal. This fund is probably better, dollar for dollar: https://www.spj.org/ldf.asp


If they don't respond in their reporters' interest, they won't have reporters risking arrest and hazard to report for them.


It's not that clear cut fortunately. There are people who do this because they really believe it should be done. Even without large org support, they'll be out there.

See for example https://unicornriot.ninja/ which was on the ground, live streaming from the early days of the protest in Minneapolis.


>Unfortunately not for me. Cloudflare + Google in the site. Have to make an account for "free" games.

Ya, and I clicked on a game and uBlock stopped and warned me about a tracker


Is there a way to protest this?

Perhaps devs should upload every package with a readme that includes a reminder for developers, something like:

"This package is dedicated to Keivan Beigi. Read more about what Microsoft did to Kevin here: thankyoukevin.com"

Any better ideas?


Submitting PR to WinGet's repo for changing the name to AppGet, also crediting original author.


Yes. Stop using Windows. Contribute to FOSS alternatives. License your code GPL3. Don't ask someone else to change. Be the change.


Economy of scale means freeloaders are too expensive a burden, preventing keeping up with closed source, for projects of unbounded complexity, like OS ecosystems. Sad but true.


Are you able to use bluetooth trackpads, like Apple's Magic Trackpad, with it? Asking for myself before I buy..


I use a Wacom Intuos (USB) as as a trackpad which works out of the box. It is nice and big and you can always pick up the pen when it is convenient.


Probably, the Magic Trackpad works quite well with a Linux mainline kernel.


> How would you find their identity afterwards?

Only responding to this part. I've seen enough people get dox'd on the internet from static photos that I continue to be impressed each time by the skill of volunteer/angry people on <internet forum>


Could you or the @mods change this title to "cryptocurrency". Crypto is not the correct term for this.


Good point. Done.


Cool! Thanks for sharing here. What's the license?


Most students I’ve met have no idea how their loans work or what APR is, so I’m sure they’ll keep paying. It’s sad but true


I got a graduate degree online from a well ranked uni because I didn’t want to commute or move.
