Ethereum wouldn't exist without validated cryptographic primitives. Now, EIP-7212 introduces a P-256 (secp256r1 EC) precompile. But, for P256, the seed is c49d360886e704936a6678e1139d26b7819f7e90 and we still don't know how it has been exactly calculated! We want to change that! Very proud to announce the seeds-bounty.eth. An initiative collecting donations to further incentivise the existing NIST Elliptic Curve Seeds Bounty (https://words.filippo.io/dispatches/seeds-bounty/). Let's show the world that Ethereum is a collective power of folks who truly care about what essentially powers the foundation of Ethereum: cryptography.

This is the first time in this space that a compiler is conducting a competitive audit contest! I strongly recommend reading my article as a preparation for the upcoming Vyper compiler audit contest: https://hackmd.io/@pcaversaccio/how-vyper-compiles-into-byte.... It will give you insights deep down the rabbit hole.

What is interesting is that instead of TCP, HTTP/3 uses a new protocol, QUIC, developed by Google in 2012. QUIC runs over UDP, the User Datagram Protocol.

Survive !== having a lot of money. UBI assures that all people are "survivable" w/o any effort. Therefore, there is no competition to survive in any case. Hence the contradiction.

I'm convinced this entire UBI idea is a fucking scam. It completely contradicts the survival of the fittest notion (here in the context of work). I'm a person who always embraces new ideas but this one that combines the cryptocurrency hype with UBI is really more a marketing gig rather a value-adding product/service. This idea won't fix any problems out there.

Amazon is opening up its Alexa AI technologies to third-party companies so they can build their own virtual assistants. Through Alexa Custom Assistant, companies like auto manufacturers can customize the voice, features, and wake word of their branded assistants, which will “co-exist” with Alexa, the company said.
