@ElaineRShi I vividly remember looking around for a "pause" button in zoom at the start of the pandemic

after watching many videos at 1.75x speed, today in a zoom meeting, i looked around for the 1.75x speed button (only to realize that it's not a video)!

"On this day for 17 years, I spent it in Saporoshje, Ukraine. We got flowers for our mothers and female teachers. It was about celebrating women's achievements. This year, I honestly don't care as much. I just wish for everyone to celebrate all holidays in safety." — @masserova

Congratulations to all who got admitted to CMU PhD program! Feel free to contact me in case you have any questions - especially if you are interested in working in cryptography!

7 hour flight ahead of me, downloaded 4 papers to read - fingers crossed I'll end up reading one of them instead of watching The Lord of the Rings for the 100th time

I miss these

@ElaineRShi Can't wait!

@masserova I’ll make you something

My little paper zoo has been growing slowly but surely over the holidays

4. Last but not least: Yes, as a speaker you *do* have to register for the conference. Learned this the hard way and was actually using a slightly different badge for the larger part of the conference because of this

Last month I went to my first ever offline crypto conference, which happened to be TCC. I presented our work "Blockchains Enable Non-Interactive MPC" (you can find the long version of the talk here: youtu.be/eZyHUoQVaYk) Things I learned:
