>For one, the computational work for checking everyone's transactions on everyone's computer (i.e. blockchain) is consuming the computing power of the people interested.

With ZKP there won't be a need to run every transaction on everyone's computer


That is the main purpose. But check SNARKs and STARKs, they have a great future outside of blockchain too.


We have done some simulations and explorations on Peters and Adamou's work:

Hihi, me too: https://github.com/trishankkarthik/notebooks/blob/master/Eva...


Hi Trish!


Hi Stan!


Thanks to dirty schedulers that is not a big issue: https://medium.com/@jlouis666/erlang-dirty-scheduler-overhea...


Thanks for the link. It's a very deep and interesting technical post.


Hi, I am the interviewer. I think I saw numba once but forgot about it. I will check it and probably ask to interview them too. We are preparing interviews about RAPIDS and other similar projects too.


Numba is the option used in Lectures in Quantitative Economics with Python, posted and highly upvoted here yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21022620.


Hello somebodyelse1. We had our commercial reasons to change the lineup. After living this, I think their reaction speaks for itself.


That is not correct. I have no interest in damaging anybody. That is why I did not write names and other things that happened in the article. He has already been banned from other conferences.

I am trying to protect myself based on what happened and other people told me, I assure you the last few weeks have been a hell for me. My only objective is to be able to run my conference as I want and not to be harrassed.


But you did identify the woman on Twitter. I won't link to it because I don't think we should share it further, but someone posted it in this discussion.

I sympathize but I think the court of public opinion is unlikely to do anything other than further escalate things.


I watched this unfold on Twitter, and it was a third-party related to the woman that decided to "out" themselves.

It's not an easy position for a conference organizer to be in.


Some simple things (logistics, catering, etc) in countries like Argentina are more difficult. However, your are right. We had a LOT of fun last year. I think I am pessimistic because of everything that happened these last few weeks.


Good luck in the courts. Unfortunately that route is very slow.

(You're probably looking at 1.5 to 3 years before you obtain any final orders - and then there's the issue of enforcing any orders you might obtain!)


I agree. It is really important to have practical experience. It is like programming. You can read a lot of books but if you don't code, you don't really learn.


Hi rubyn00bie. I am the author. I agree with what you wrote. It is really important to understand the history of economic political thought. Nowadays most economic careers, specially in the developed world, are way too focused on mathematics. That is why I wrote: "Not only do we not fully understand how the economy works but also there is an endless debate on how it should function. Everyone has values and an ideology even if they don’t tell you. You should keep that in mind while studying economics. In this roadmap I try to recommend the tools easily available and that are a part of the current economic thought."
