Proposal to encourage and incentivize privately financed energy efficiency im...
Buildings account for 40% of US energy consumption, and energy efficiency upgrades could save as much as 80% according to the Secretary of Energy. Restorative Financial Solutions proposes a financing mechanism using secured loans to fund energy efficiency upgrades. This would provide extremely secure private funding at scale to create green jobs, assist the economy and environment, while being self-sustaining. Education and feedback technologies can further increase conservation and returns on investments.

The Wireless Evolution
If you find a being in the modern world that doesn’t own a mobile phone, get your camera ready. You probably just found a unicorn, an extraterrestrial or maybe even Bigfoot.
We weren’t always so connected. There was a time when stuff could wait. Stuff can’t wait anymore.
Parents didn’t think their children needed tracking devices. In the event of an emergency, pay phones were a great solution. If we wanted to stay in touch with friends and family or check our answering machine, waiting until we got home made complete sense. So, what happened and how did we arrive at this convergence of human and technological evolution?

WWW and how it changed the world
On March 12, 1989, Sir Tim Berners-Lee proposed the World Wide Web, creating a system of nodes and links to share information over computers globally. Twenty-five years later, the development of the World Wide Web has changed the world, revolutionizing how people work, communicate, shop, find information, and learn. Before the internet, common technologies like smartphones, laptops, tablets, and digital tools did not exist in their current form. Life before digital technology and the World Wide Web involved limited television channels, public pay phones, weeks-long film development, cassette-based music, and pen pals for social connection.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

- 1. INFORMATION SHIFTING Friday, February 23, 2001 Jenny Levine levinej@sls.lib.il.us http://www.sls.lib.il.us/infotech/presentations/shifting/
- 2. Jenny’s Theory of Library Relevancy Generation Y is the first generation that has been “information shifted” from birth and expects it. Time-shifting = 1984 court term for recording shows on VCRs and watching want you want when you want Space-shifting = 1999 court term for making digital music files portable on MP3 players The Library is not portable. The Library will have to become portable. We’re getting there.
- 3. The Immovable Library How was the Library portable before 1998? Telephone (landlines only; limited services available) Homebound service (seniors only) Booktalks (only librarian-selected titles) Bookmobiles (ditto, maybe some different formats) Fax (maybe)
- 4. The More Portable Library How is the Library portable in 2001? E-mail Web site Remote databases for access from home or anywhere else Internet-accessible catalogs
- 5. The Even More Portable Library What else can we do? Chat Wireless access (cell phones, pagers, PDAs) MP3s PDA channels Webcams & videoconferencing Distance education (e.g., LibraryU) Common denominator is the digital format.
- 6. Technologies You May Already Know About E-books Wireless (cell phones/pagers) PDAs MP3s
- 7. The Next Level of Technologies Audio e-books http://www.audible.com/ E-ink http://www.eink.com/ http://www.parc.xerox.com/dhl/projects/gyricon/ Bluetooth Heavenly Jukebox Napster MP4
- 8. The Fun Part -- The Toys MP3 players Wireless Web PDAs (Palms vs. PocketPCs) Cybiko FRS (Family Radio Service) Chat Instant Messenger ICQ PVRs (Personal Video Recorders) ReplayTV Tivo
- 9. Tomorrow’s Toys GPS (Global Positioning System) Pervasive Internet, pervasive computing Bluetooth devices All-in-one devices Information will come to you, not the other way around.
- 10. Everyone Loves Portability “[In 2000], more cell phones were sold than computers, televisions, PDAs and pagers combined…. It has even been predicted that by 2004 more people will connect to the Web via cell phone than by computer.” -- Time Digital, January/February 2001
- 11. Other Countries Are More Portable than the U.S. 34% of the U.S. population uses mobile phones; 50% of the population of western Europe uses mobile phones; 50% of the population of Japan uses mobile phones (more than land-lines!); 71% of the population of Finland uses mobile phones! -- Scientific American, October 2000
- 12. Portable Examples Elsewhere Download new characters to their phones each day Get pictures of the “10 most wanted” criminals on your phone Get your child’s school schedule on your phone Pay for vending machines & parking meters Play “Street Fighter III” on their phones “Handy Dandy” from the Industry Standard
- 13. Generation Y Will Be Able to... PAN themselves Personal Area Networks Use wireless and geographic positioning to get customized information Use E-ink and GPS for continuously-changing maps Get new music or movies via their cell phone Play any game on their Java-enabled wireless devices
