Wait, Apple is sending URLs to Tencent?! reclaimthenet.org/apple-safari-i…

Ashish Choudhury is running a MOOC on crypto next semester... swayam.gov.in/nd1_noc20_cs02… Check out the preview video here... youtube.com/watch?v=-8IYmk…

Oops, forgot to pack this extra piece. There’s no way that’s gonna...wait WHAT?

This is so funny 😂 #MathIsFun

Next time someone asks you to name a computable irrational number that has been proved *not* to be normal in any base (i.e. does *not* contain every finite sequence of digits with equal density) you can turn to this beautiful example from Greg Martin: arxiv.org/abs/math/00060…

This is the pic of this millennium! Much-maligned, world-famous Silk Board junction, on Hosur Road.

Here’s a lovely puzzle invented by John H Conway in the 1960s. Worth a ponder if you haven’t seen it before.

🎲 Today's weakly-weekly quiz: private vs. public randomness! And why do we care. You have a distributed task, w/ input data distributed among s users. Think of 2 users for starters, and call them Averne and Boagie. Averne holds x, Boagie holds y, each are n bits long... 1/??

I'm excited to announce that our paper on Multi-Agent Systems called "Ethics, Prosperity, and Society: Moral Evaluation Using Virtue Ethics and Utilitarianism" has been selected for IJCAI'20 conference. Joint work with Aditya Hegde and Prof. Shrisha Rao. IIIT-Bangalore

Differences in perceived speed If you move at speed 𝒗 and your field of view is 𝜃, the apparent speed of objects at the edge of the frame is 𝒗 sin(𝜃/2)

Not sure what I find the most appealing in TCS, but if I had to pick one thing the concept of reduction would be a strong contender.

IIIT-Bangalore in collaboration with Young Indians (Yi) of CII, have developed and launched a real-time application called ‘Bengaluru for Humanity’ (blrforhumanity.com) with the aim of providing verified data on COVID care services in the city.

SoK on private clustering algorithms with implementation and experimental comparison of today's most efficient fully private algorithms. This joint work with Aditya Hegde (IIIT-Bangalore), Helen Möllering & @HYalame (ENCRYPTO) will appear at PETS'21 (PETS).

the world if figures in LaTeX appeared where you put the \begin{figure} command in the source code

a real shame that 6 am is such a perfect time to wake up but 10 pm is a very stupid time to go to bed

Welcome to September! The month you'll finally get to all the stuff due on August 31st.

i'm mentoring a 2024 #REU project on practical steganography. if you are an undergrad (or you know one) who would like to (1) do some research this summer, (2) be in new york city, and (3) work on a security & privacy project… tell them to apply! csi.cuny.edu/academics-and-…

76 years ago this week Claude Shannon ushered in the field of information theory with his paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication", which has been cited over 100,000 times: bit.ly/2H0ZxvR (v/SIAM)
