In cryptography, a ring signature is a type of digital signature that can be performed by any member of a group of users that each have keys. Therefore, a message signed with a ring signature is endorsed by someone in a particular group of people. One of the security properties of a ring signature is that it should be computationally infeasible to determine which of the group members' keys was used to produce the signature. Ring signatures are similar to group signatures but differ in two key ways: first, there is no way to revoke the anonymity of an individual signature, and second, any group of users can be used as a group without additional setup. Ring signatures were invented by Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Yael Tauman, and introduced at ASIACRYPT in 2001.[1] The name, ring signature, comes from the ring-like structure of the signature algorithm.
Linkable ring signatures [4] The property of linkability allows one to determine whether any two signatures have been produced by the same member (under the same private key). The identity of the signer is nevertheless preserved. One of the possible applications can be an offline e-cash system. [link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_signature]

There is a cryptographic primitive that does just this allowing of plausible deniability whilst ensuring that only persons able to vote voted: Using Linked Ring Signatures.

Fluid simulation is hard, I found using a curl-noise based fluid simulation works quite well esp for mobile game development

Blockchain would definitely solve this: Traceability, verifiability (no double casting). If you dont trust the counters (which no1 in america should) you can also use a form of Secure Multiparty Computation to hide the outcome from the counters until the last ballot is cast. So ya.

The blog is trying to mask wifi probe requests. Active scan and connect modes are disabled on iOS and most modern smartphones from my knowledge. Back in the golden days, we use to track people around based on their wifi signals, we also developed a machine learning system to determine where a person was based on their RSSI over time (we used time warping networks).

I can understand why many would fail to see the value of this or classify the practice as morbid, most of the people here are from a capitalist upbringing. Here you are taught materialism is eveything. The idea to disconnect from the material and ultimately release yourself from your ultimate possession (your body) is an interesting spiritual practice undertaken by many ancient philosophies. In fact, in India, there is a law that prevents devoted monks from fasting to death for that very reason.

the Jain philosphy has been promoting annual 1 week water fasts for thousands of years.
