Zero-knowledge proofs are a recent innovation in cryptography that has gained significant notoriety in the past few years via its applications in fintech. But how should investors think about the potential of this technology? Let's talk and try to answer some important questions, such as:

- what are ZKPs (a recap for non-technical audiences)

- current and future use cases (especially in finance, regulation and legal markets)

- monetization approaches, business models, competitive moat issues

- applications to AI/ML, especially in the area of AI safety

ZKPs enable an unprecedented combination of privacy and transparency and disrupt the very architecture of computer networks. However, investors must be able to see the truth behind the hype. This talk offers the opportunity to do so.

The event will consist of a 30-40 minute presentation followed by an interactive Q&A. We are running two sessions to cover global time zones.

frizzyon Show HN: Nginx Common Useful Configuration

Hey, thank you for suggestion, I'll think about it)

frizzyon Selfhosted tech starter pack for development of new project or startup

Yeah, I understand you) I'm not sure that I'll do it but thank you for idea. For now there are few alternatives like helm charts for k8s or juju from ubuntu, or providers like heroku, but nothing that I know which have level of heroku in open source - and I understand why xD I saw coolify.io on HN yesterday - mayby they will do...

frizzyon Show HN: Nginx Common Useful Configuration

Hi guys, I agree with you that today there are a lot of better web servers like traefik, caddy and so one, but nginx is still popular and so one people use it wrong... So I decided to open source my own variant of configs for it)

the fourth line, https://free-for.dev :)

I wish to but it's almost impossible: all services in this pack has a paas version that I never win, and a lot of people do the same things as devops engineers today, as I do as contractor and sometimes freelancer, for example))

I should say, that I'm from Belarus - yes, the country near Russia and Ukraine whos territory russia used to attack Ukraine. Small remark: we - belarusians - fight against Putin and Lukashenko at leaset since 2020 and asked world to help us, but we lost and today we have that we have. Personally I emigrated with my girl... So, in Ukrain, Belarus and Russia we have a good technical level and access to all clouds like aws. Hovewer, Russia and Belarus doesn't have currently and I rather support it. So my pack could help teams from Russia, even when I don't support the action of Russia and hates them. But this is a good example why sometimes you want to selfhost some services xD

TLDR: I personally think that free paas is better than selfhosted in multiple ways, but sometime its great to have some alternaty and I hope that my pack give it for someone :)

Defacto docker swarm lose race with k8s and one time almost die, and it has much less features than k8s (or even hashicorp nomad)... But in other hand, personally I don't like k8s because of it complexity, and I really don't like when it used for running only few microservices on 3 hosts xD So my opinion: if you don't have resources to learn k8s and you don't run 100 apps with autoscaling - you can adopt docker swarm. Otherwise, you have to buy k8s from you cloud provider and learn it =\ In case of selfhosted k8s I recommend deckhouse.io or rancher.com

Even more important thing, than chose your docker orchestrator, - this is chose of distributed file system that you need for running stateful apps: I strongly recommend you buy efs or ceph from cloud provider, otherwise you should test next products yourself in your setup: https://vitobotta.com/2019/08/06/kubernetes-storage-openebs-...

Maybe services with upfront payment... I saw only alert options in big clouds, but not a quotas. However, I admit that I don't know everything)

frizzyon Selfhosted tech starter pack for development of new project or startup

Yeah, I saw similar platforms but don't have time to check and adopt all of them =\

I didn't tested it on arm arch, so I think that you should check dockerhub for every image that you want to run - or just run it and see the result)

frizzyon Selfhosted tech starter pack for development of new project or startup

Hey, autor here) I agree with you: when you only start, you should pay 100% attention to custdev and use as much ready to go cloud services as you can. Thats why I included "Free for Dev" link. However, I think that when you started development, especially with a team up to 10 people, or if you work with private information - you should hosting some of services and databases yourself. In my experience, at least private hosting of gitlab with CI&CD, databases and sometime monitoring system is a normal case. Also, startup is not always start from zero, sometime it's just a new project in a tech company. So this pack can help to start just a usual new project) And finally, this pack can be useful for developers who want to test new services locally. And I hope that it will be helpful for someone :)

I'm in love with Python and Ansible and I worked with AWS, Docker and Jenkins for CI on my last project for the US startup. And I'm little lazy so I use Ansible for automating almost everything: setup of aws instances and other stuff and configure services like ElasticSearch and Mongo databases and many others.
