My life got better when I switched from worrying if I was acting in a nonconformist way to worrying that I might be perceived as a conformist.

So would they have been fine if they extracted MEV but didn't try to hide the income from the government? Seems like this is less about MEV and more about hiding their actions?

Ah, memories...

Does this do anything beyond an API call? ChatGPT is already pretty good at regexes.

Knee jerk reaction, see Brewster's reply:

Of course, it's not cheap.

Nice, a few years ago I tried making a game engine for maps made using Tiled that has a very similar look, slightly different controls though.

I don't believe that is as fixed as we think it is.

The desire for privacy is a reflection of a society failing to provide.

I wrote this about if the situation was reversed: https://gist.github.com/numtel/28ffb7181ad1a296a077db76c474b...

I like that term. I always called this "divide and conquer."

I feel like we've got the technological capability to steward wildlife populations to the point that we can all eat animals that live wild. It would be a big transition but it would be great for the environment.

I used this for a few hackathon projects. It's great for simple layouts

We used to use fibers before promises to do this. But don't do this.

In Spain, Gamba is a slang term for the male reproductive organ.

The atmosphere is already 78% nitrogen.

It would have probably taken off if there was a way to have wrapped text in the early days.

I'm sure it'll make it to Firefox for Android soon. I would imagine these "in page" toggles will fade away as the OS makes the switcher more prominent. In Gnome, it's right in the main menu next to the volume.

For comparison 320km2 is about 2.5 San Franciscos

Yes, there's definitely many scenarios to consider that I've been wondering too about now that I've got it built this way. That's why it's in testnet only.

In my zk group scheme, you do get one token for each epoch. (could be 30 days) It's simply suggested that you wait as long as possible between joining the group on your main account before minting your token on the anon account.

Finding applications for ZK tech is complicated because it only works for such narrow circumstances. Although in your case of "give every user the same token" makes the users anonymous to everyone except the issuer. The issuer is still able to know to whom they're giving them. With a ZK proof, the bearer instead mints the token by proving that they are one from the set of people the issuer has verified. The issuer cannot then break the privacy.

As for mitigating people sharing their tokens, of course that's always a fear but I think mitigation strategies would be unique to each application's use case.

Yes, the government should provide digital ID services. On my Coinpassport site in the documentation, [0] I make this plea to governments.

I've made a testnet version that uses a basic ZK circuit to provide anonymity. [1]

There's so many holes to my approach though with overlapping renewals, dual citizenship, etc. If governments simply provided this service it would be great.

Passport NFC chips get close. [2] They contain the passport data signed and there's a project to extract those details into a ZKSNARK proof which is awesome but this doesn't prove that the person holding the passport is the person verifying like Stripe Identity does with the photo check. And it requires the nfc reader hardware, but that's not too bad for a requirement.

Maybe something like risczero could prove that a phone photo matches the passport photo using ZK but it seems like a big project.

Interesting to know that's the reason. I make a website called Coinpassport.net that uses Stripe Identity to do just like you describe: verify once and reuse it on other sites.

I would have loved if Stripe signed the results so that it could be more decentralized and anybody could verify with their own stripe account and have it be comparable to others.

The plant derived medicines come from plants known to indigenous people to have activity. If there's no indigenous knowledge available there's no way to study the plants and make modern medicines.

We literally do not know what we lost.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putumayo_genocide

When rubber industrialists wiped out the people living in the area, those that remained lost generational knowledge. Ethnobotanists like Shultes explored the Amazon afterwards.

There's even a movie made on the subject of exploring the Amazon for medicines with Sean Connery, Medicine Man. Also, the more recent Embrace of the Serpent.

As a teen with Windows 2000, when I learned about this, I had fun having the Advanced Server boot screen for a while.

Global trade killed all uniqueness of culture? We don't even know what we're missing.

> Biodiversity does not directly benefit everyone

Jfc. Plants aren't just for food. Lots of medicines are derived from plants. As indigenous people dwindle from the planet, their knowledge of useful plants disappears and their potential becomes lost on us.

Thanks, fixed

Yes, Genesis is a great example of this. The Old Testament is a religious text embedded in an agricultural society and reflects the need to come to terms with that.

I like to connect it with Douglas Adams' answer to the meaning of life from Hitchhiker's Guide: 42. The number itself is shaped like a human bent on their knees toiling in a field.

This is a great book about how our capitalist economy was very much designed. It's cited heavily in Graeber's Toward an Anthropological Theory of Value and supports his general push revealed by the quote in Adam Curtis' docuseries Can't Get You Out of My Head: "The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something we make. And could just as easily make differently."
