I would assume that dirty money (from dirty wallets) is placed on the "losing side" of the bet. And clean accounts take the "winning side" of the bets.

This represents only a small portion of the stolen funds. But my understanding was that the holder of the keys owns the crypto. How can the funds get frozen?

If this device uses a similar technology as your phone, then I don't see it being reliable.

But simply calling it "harmony" doesn't magically make those tradeoffs go away.

The same information as trying two bases that don't form a quadratic congruence at all

a^2 = b^2 (mod m)

Then:

a^2 - b^2 = 0 (mod m)

(a + b)(a - b) = 0 (mod m)

So, (a + b) must be a multiple of one of the factors of m. And (a - b) must be a multiple of the other factor of m.

> I've often wondered what each congruence in the quadratic seive reveals.

Each congruence reveals that the sum of the bases (a plus b) contains a factor of m. And the difference of the bases (a minus b) contains another factor of m.

The only thing you have to watch out for is the trivial case when one of the factors you find through this method is "1" and the other factor is "m". That case isn't very helpful.

It's not that each congruence gives you new information. You only have to find one single non-trivial congruence. But the other (trivial) congruences you find along the way only reveal that 1*m=m, which you already knew.

Exporting to svg may look completely different when opened elsewhere if your designs have any text elements.

Edit: Thinking about this some more: You could say you are saving 9x [of the new cost], and it would be a correct statement. I believe the error is assuming the reference frame is the previous cost vs the new cost, but since it is not specified, it could be either.

The name “Project Iliad” is almost certainly a reference to Homer’s Iliad, the ancient Greek epic poem about the Trojan War.

The connection works as a kind of corporate in-joke or metaphor:

The Iliad is long, complex, and arduous — much like the cancellation process Amazon designed. By naming the project after an epic full of prolonged struggle, the team was signaling (perhaps ironically) that customers would have to endure an "epic battle" just to cancel.

Conflict and attrition are central to the Iliad’s story. The war drags on, wearing down opponents. In Amazon’s context, Project Iliad’s design was to wear down users’ will to cancel through friction.
