FHE will probably take a while to become practical. Remember, the first schema was published only in 2009, which is very recent in cryptography standards. Secure multi-party computation can achieve similar objectives (compute on encrypted d

Yes, that is exactly the case. The idea is to let 3rd parties use the data without ever having direct access to it. They can't reconstruct it, and only get the result of the computation.

Hi, co-creator here. 1) More electricity it used, but it has some benefits. What is the social and financial cost of data breaches and identity theft? Hopefully at scale a system like Enigma can help with that. 2) At scale, you are correct.

Unfortunately every market is highly manipulated... And in any market you deal with people who have more information than you. The game is trying to understand the manipulation.

I lost some money there too, I've been their customer since 2011. But if the main reason for the April and November bubbles is Willy, than the current (amazing) state of bitcoin is thanks to him.

I don't think the bot is responsible for either bubble. But, if it was, the bitcoin world owes everything to Mark Karpeles. Because of the price surges it got all the media attention, VC investments, hundreds of companies popping up, m

Accuracy is so important in HN :) Fact - cycling creates short leg muscles, hamstrings in particular. For those of us who have tight hamstrings, which is most males (according to my subjective, biased observations), this is not good. Create

If you asked nicer I would have googled it for you, but you can do that yourself.

Right, but in other activities if you practice safely and under professional supervision you can usually minimize the risk. Here the movement is short and repetitive which in turn builds short muscles. It's a "feature", not a

Cycling is actually not that healthy. Repetitive short movements shorten your muscles, which causes all kinds of problems.

Uri wasn't full-time at Waze for a while now.. he co-founded Feex almost 2 years ago, and he's also not full time there. He does a lot of angel investments. I don't think that him joining Google was every a possibility.

They did a successful pilot in Israel this past year. A lot of people use them and saved significant amounts of money. They use the Waze founder for PR but he is not the real story, the service is.

I can't store the key myself and I wouldn't want to. I can create it myself but it's stored in a central key server.

If they hold your key, your privacy can be violated. By them, by someone who buys the company or by a secret government court order.

If I were them I would market more the online identity verification aspect and not mention one word about crypto or GPG. Also, I don't like the choice of a centralized solution for privacy problem. It could have been decentralized.

People "assumed" about that 200k wallet over a month ago. "Proven" is subjective and a rhetoric that has agenda on its own.
