Ristretto adds complexity over just using secp256k1, which also has very good Rust support, is quite fast and well-optimized, compiles to WASM, and supports ECDSA, ECDH, and Schnorr key aggregation, so it's quite full-featured.

Funny timing that this particular topic made it to HN. From the recently-released Season 4 of The Dragon Prince, this is one of the reasons Claudia is so infatuated with Terry, an Earthblood elf.

If the unit cost is higher than the maximum a manufacturer or retailer can charge, it won't be produced at all. This results in a market failure, similar to the one China's experiencing with their energy market, where the price of

These figures aren't adjusted for Delta-V, or inflation, but here are some dollar figures for asteroid and lunar sample return missions: Hayabusa, 2005 - $100 billion dollars per kg Hayabusa 2, 2019 - $33.3 billion dollars per kg OSIRI

Agreed, I wish we'd have gone down that road. How is it more efficient for my signals to go a thousand miles away and back just to talk to my neighbor across the street? I've often thought, the web isn't designed for efficien

The argument those points are supporting, as the article explains, this is an ineffective way to fight CP, but it's being done anyway, and can be used for nefarious purposes. Could a government not have a different level of interest in

Proton is already pretty good. I expect it to get better. I've been daily-driving Arch on both a custom-built PC and a ThinkPad for 3 years and I haven't looked back, not even for games.

A powerful piece... For the privacy-minded Apple users among us (I mean, that's who they marketed to, yeah?), I'd recommend turning off automatic software updates... For as long as it makes sense to. I hope they reverse their deci

Can confirm, played an old Windows copy a year or so ago, it still holds up. Endless Sky doesn't quite have the same magic for me.

Bitcoin is deflationary, Ethereum is not. Even with the changes in EIP 1559, that just introduces instability in supply. ETH 2 introduces inflation, which is what made wealth inequality so bad to begin with. People holding assets that outpe

I've had 2/8 Seagate IronWolf drives fail on me slightly outside of the first year I had them. I'm using them in a Synology NAS. I've never had such problems with the WD Reds in my last Synology.

I guess I'm asking a question of crime priority, and whether some crimes are more likely to be punished because a disproportionate amount of policing is put in place towards that sort of crime. If the same resources that were dedicated

This. This right here. Every word. I would even go so far as to say, there shouldn't be specific immigration cops, or alcohol, tobacco and firearms cops, since if there were actual crimes committed by immigrants or gun owners, the crim

Wouldn't that just be interviewing a candidate based on their capability to prepare for interviews and not actually interviewing for candidates who would be effective at their jobs once hired? Could this be a false assumption that thes

Filecoin, for one. Long-term data storage is essentially a byproduct of its mining algorithm, much like waste heat from Bitcoin miners. Also, there's utility in a trustless, predictable, uncorruptible source of scarcity. Meanwhile, the

Wow, what a toxic person. I think counterculture is an important part of the tech community, and for this to be removed is... Saddening.

It not only ended the man's career, it tarnished his legacy. He worked 50 years, and this is what he'll be remembered for. It's really screwed up. The Times really mishandled this one. I hope those involved one day come to re

It's a reaction to fear. In this case, an overreaction. People are afraid to say the wrong thing. People are afraid of having once said a wrong thing, to potentially sully their legacy or impact their career like a ticking time bomb. O
