In my 16-year career as a high school teacher, I have been through more lockdowns than I can count Image by Ulrike Mai from Pixabay There’s a bucket in my classroom. It’s bright yellow plastic with a sturdy black lid. It’s large. It looks like any one of the industrial sorts of buckets you might find in the aisles of Home Depot or in the dusty disarray of a construction site. It lives under my desk, just between a box of printer paper and a crate of student portfolios, and it has been there s...

I didn’t send any cards in 2020. A lot of people didn’t — I suppose no one felt like writing Christmas letters or picking a photo from that sad year. We did do a few small things. My main effort was to make a wreath; we didn’t have any pines at the old farmhouse property, so we wandered a nearby state forest to cut some inconspicuous branches. I tied them to a wreath form, wrapped it with a velvet bow, and put it on our front door. We didn’t do gifts for each other, and only bought a few for ...

随着 Rollup 在以太坊****生态中成为了扩容首选，人们对于 Optimisitic 和 zk 这两种安全模式都有所耳闻。V 神曾公开表示：「短期看好 Optimistic 模式，长期更关注 zk 的表现。」 律动研究院曾在**《这是那些互联网大厂不想让你知道的数据隐私保护方案》**一文中就零知识证明所解决的问题以及现存应用进行了介绍，然而对于零知识证明中细分的两种算法 zkSNARKs 及 zkSTARKs 并未进行细节介绍。\ 本文出自零知识证明领域加密研究者 Alex Beckett，本文详述了零知识证明的两种细分算法的不同之处。律动 BlockBeats 对全文进行了翻译：\ 在密码学领域中，零知识证明是最前沿的技术之一，它的出现丰富了区块链扩容以及隐私保护的方式。不仅如此，在其基础之上又衍生出了两个相似的技术，分别是 zkSNARKs 和 zkSTARKs。 通过零知识证明，一方能在不提供任何必要信息的情况下，向另一方证明某件事，从而达到保护隐私的效果。这其中，想要证明某事的一方被称为证明者，而确保信息正确的一方被称为验证者。 比如，如果你想证明自己已经年满 18...

Here’s my annual list of favorite books, music, and movies. Art always sustains and nourishes the soul. But for me, music and storytelling felt especially urgent during this pandemic year — a way to connect even when we were cooped up. Since these are works I have actually listened to, watched, or read, I’m sure I’ve missed some worthy stuff. So if you have your own recommendations to share, I’ll add them to the stack of books and movies I hope to catch up on over the holidays!Favorite Books ...

吴说作者** | **刘全凯 本期编辑** | **Colin Wu 随着元宇宙概念的火爆，Axie Infinity、Crypto Blades等链游相继兴起，play-to-earn模式吸引了大批圈外玩家，重燃了加密货币市场热潮。随着热度持续飙升，区块链游戏展现出一片繁荣迹象。无论是作为玩家还是投资者，都非常关注元宇宙的未来。那么站在投资机构VC的角度，Sky9 Captial（云九资本）合伙人、游戏行业老炮牛凤轩如何看待元宇宙的当前与未来，以及如何挖掘投资优秀的链游项目。 请您简单介绍下自己。 牛凤轩：我最早是做一个基于区块链的去中心化应用信息和分析平台：DappReview。在2019年底的时候，该平台被币安收购，于是我便参与到了币安生态建设中。2020年，年初币安收购了CoinMarketCap，年中我便去负责CoinMarketCap的产品，一直到今年五月份离开了币安生态。现在在一家VC机构：Sky9（云九资本），负责区块链项目的投资。 谈一下您对元宇宙的理解。 牛凤轩：这是一个比较大的话题。大家对于元宇宙的定义，不同的人有不同的理解，不同的语境下也不一样。 简单来分...

I would like to dismiss 2021 as a terrible, no-good, very bad year, a year to be sept away and forgotten as quickly as possible. After all, it was a year that began with the insurrection and was quickly followed by my ALS diagnosis. Dire on both the public and private fronts. Such a year can’t possibly have been anything other than bad. And yet — it was also the year that I not only had a new book published, I also sold two new books (on the same day!) to come out in 2022. More importantly, i...
