This looks really interesting! Where would you suggest a beginner go to learn more about ZKPs and their applications?

I’d love to play with simple ZKP algos.

I like this idea, but there has to be some mechanism to prevent everyone trolling.

It unfortunately seems to be a trend that websites start out ad free to lure people in and then hit them with increasing ads once they have loyal customers.

Someone should investigate this trend, give it a controversial name, and then dedicate a large chunk of their career to publicizing and criticizing it.

Being a "loyal customer" is increasingly a sucker's game. Need to be as mercenary about purchasing decisions as companies are about their ToS and business models.

If they have a service fee, I hope they at least count it as a tip.

I've never seen a place that does that, although maybe they exist. The restaurants where I have seen service fees usually even put in the fine print something like "service charges are not a tip"

I had really hoped the QR menu trend would go away post pandemic.

It's really nice holding a physical menu.

I don't blame the restaurants that found the QR menus to be a cost savings/time savings.

I do think that this many years into it many of them still should figure out how to stop using desktop publishing software designed for printing, stop printing them to PDFs and use websites or other media more appropriate to reading things on your phone.

> I don't blame the restaurants that found the QR menus to be a cost savings/time savings.

I sure do. That's a choice the restaurant is making, so they get the blame.

That's not what that sentence means? To be fair it might be a regional colloquialism?

To rephrase: I understand and appreciate that restaurants have found QR menus to save money and time, so I realize there's a larger context to why these things will likely remain and why I'm willing to put up with them. Restaurants are certainly making a choice in which style of menu they present; I just understand it is a harder choice now with a new local minima for menu preparation cost/time.

Your rephrasing makes me think that I understood what you were saying in the first place. But perhaps my response was misunderstood?

All I'm saying is that when a business decides to conduct their operation in a particular way, that's their decision and if I find it objectionable, I will correctly blame that business for making that decision, and will avoid doing business with them in the future.

That's different than what I had in mind, but that's also a nice use case for this!
