In my personal projects, I've used it to insert/delete transactions in a ledger. I wanted to be able to update/query the account balance fast. Like the article says, "fold operations".

Is there a standard mechanism for batch-downloading a public site? I'm not too familiar with crawlers these days.

Are we sure that the base reveals nothing about the factors if n is composite? I have never seen a proof of that.

Usually, zero knowledge proofs also require a prover who knows the answer (the factors in this case). This is just a primality test that can be performed locally.

This article is not about the API contract of the hash function, or the abstraction it provides. If you are just trying to hash things, you don't need any info here.

It's very much trying to go _under_ the abstraction layer to investigate its behavior. Because it's interesting.

This is very similar to how people investigate performance quirks or security issues.

I still don't see the settings. Can anyone help?

Kind of? Keep aside quantum mechanics for a second. In any classical experiment that has random outcomes, would you say that the probability distribution is a property of a single system or a bunch?

You can only deduce a distribution from repeated measurements. But most physicists would have no problem talking about a single experiment having many possible outcomes, governed by a probability distribution. It's almost a philosophical question about whether probability means anything in single systems.

It's the same way in quantum mechanics. The effects of entanglement can only be discerned if you take repeated samples. But we still feel okay talking about single systems governed by such entanglement.

Constant depth circuits can solve everything? I feel like I missed some important part of circuit complexity. Or this is BS.

This is like online reviews. If you selectively take positive or negative reviews and somehow censor the rest, the reviews are worthless. Yet, if you report on all the ones you find, it's still useful.

Yes, I'm more likely to leave reviews if I'm unsatisfied. Yes, people are more likely to leave CS if they were unhappy. Biased data, but still useful data.

I have been donating a few hundred dollars to Mozilla every year (or at least most years) for the last 7 years. It's not much, but I might stop that donation now.

I didn't get from the article: are they better than all traffic signals, or signals with unprotected left turns? And what's a good vs. bad turnabout like?

I have had to go through a few that feel extremely dangerous compared to having all cars stop for me. So I know I must be missing something.

Edit: Also, I see a lot of comments on yield. I'm probably confused too, but how do they work when traffic is non-stop? Is there a specific traffic rate beyond which roundabouts become less safe?

I just found this setting in mobile, but I don't know if it's the same feature: Settings > Data Collection > Marketing
