IME lack of adoption is more due to lack of tooling and integration with popular languages and libraries.

Also, the domains that have the most to benefit from SGX (heavily regulated ones like healthcare) tend to be very slow adopters of new technology.

This type of tracking seems to assume the user is not bothering to send a fake Referer, e.g. she can just use the URL she is requesting, or just omit the header. One could argue such users are "low-hanging fruit".

Very few websites will vary the response if there is no Referer. Sending it really offers little benefit to the user.

Setting up a "headless" browser also seems like overkill. Firefox 57 and later has a -screenshot command line option which saves a PNG. No need to launch X11 for this to work.
Any user interface is simply a combination of smaller components.

For example, using your basic HTML/CSS skills, you can create a button. Then, create an input field. Then, put those together in a div and use a few lines of flexbox layout css to arrange the two pieces. Maybe you want something below it, which responds to what you input? Create another div below this input/button div, and then put this whole thing in another div to contain it all.

Try thinking of user interfaces in terms of rows and columns. More complex user interfaces are simply rows of columns of rows of columns! Start with small, basic pieces and put them together.

I tend to agree with your comment, any time I read about violence in general populations I immediately think about lead and it's effects on people who are exposed to it and wonder how many other things in our modern environment cause similar effects.

> Neither would Kong in most cases. Why would you assume that counterfeiting will be anymore common with Kong than it would for cash?

No, I assume that the risk of a counterfeit bill is much much lower than the risk of the IC on a kong bill failing taking the value of the bill with it forever. There's so many more failure modes for a Kong bill than the plastic it's embedded in.

The bills themselves, aside from being counterfeit, cannot fail. Kong bills can be counterfeit too, and also have tens of new failure modes.

A user accepting these "verifies" them by assuming that two properties hold if they connect over NFC or via pogo pins to the "gold elements", send a challenge over this connection, and receive in response the challenge signed with a public key associated with locked Kong tokens.

1. the relevant private key is known to only a Kong note's secure element. this is (hopefully) enforced by the secure element's, uh, security, and by the issuer.

2. the relevant private key is known to the secure element on the specific physical Kong note the user has been given.

2 is unenforced in your current design, from what I can see. A crafted note can relay all communication to the secure element of another note (e.g. over low-power RF from a single-use battery or small ultracapacitor).

better, a "dead" Kong note which performs no NFC communication can be given to a merchant; then, a high-power NFC transceiver can be used to pretend to be the note wirelessly (from a handful of meters away, but in a lot of situations that's more than enough). Of course, this one only works if the verifier is using NFC, but... This one is particularly nasty because it's relatively straightforwards to "weaponise" - imagine buying a "kit" off AliExpress which contains fifty dead notes, a ProxMark, and an amplified antenna. Then, in any situation where you're close enough to the person who'll be verifying your notes... just give them a dead one and relay communications. Verification passes, but what the merchant ends up putting in their cash drawer is worthless.
Sure, the most relatable problem is that a lot of college grads have debts they can't pay off.

That's not really the focus of the article though, which is an introduction to a potentially calamitous systemic problem.

The 2008 crash happened because there were about $1.7T of mortgage-backed securities (MBS) floating around in the financial system. These were essentially sliced up pieces of numerous mortgages that had been made to credit-unworthy home buyers. When these buyers started defaulting due to a weak economy, the MBS became worthless and financial institutions started going belly up.

So with that said, here are a few facts:

- There's about $1.6T of outstanding student loan debt today, and it's growing.

- Many of the borrowers who took out these loans are demonstrably credit-unworthy, as the .gov link demonstrates, they are already defaulting in growing numbers.

- Sure enough there's a thing called SLABS out on the market (Student Loan Asset Backed Securities). Very similar to a MBS but the collateral is student loans.

I don't know how widely SLABS are spread throughout the financial system at this point.

There are also differences vs 2008, biggest one is that most of the student loan debt is government guaranteed.

That last point gets used to promote SLABS but it seems to me that it just makes their value leveraged to political winds. Here is an example scenario: economy softens, leading many holders of student loan debt to vote for Bernie Sanders because he promises to forgive their debt. He gets elected and follows through on his promise. SLABS all over the system become worthless, banks end up much poorer than they thought they were, and the death spiral begins again.

I don't know what will happen, you can't simplify the workings of the economy into tweets and soundbites. But there is certainly cause for attention and concern.

Your frugality and dedication to eliminating debt is admirable. And it is true that many younger people (and older people too!) prefer spending over saving & reducing debt.

The risks for a cash bill are just counterfeiting. The risks for a Kong bill are both counterfeiting and failure of the secure element from any of a myriad ways, including thermal, mechanical stress, static, and so on. Those failure modes cannot be detected with the naked eye necessitating much more scrutiny.

It's far more likely your Kong bill just break taking its value with it into the aether than you receiving a counterfeit USD bill.

As explained above, the most efficient voice codecs still need orders of magnitude more than that.

This magical 39 bit codec doesn't exist and probably won't ever exist. Even if it did exist, it loses information like timing, identity of the speaker (how they sound), and their tone. By the time you encode all of that, you'll be right back around the range of dmr. And if you're willing to discard all that, then just use digital text in the first place.

> It was in 1976, not very recent.

The person to whom you are replying is referring to the poorly-named Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA) of 2005. That law expanded the exemption from discharge in bankruptcy of student loans to be any student loan, including privately-issued student loans, not just ones issued by the government through a federal or state program.

This is why you see companies like SoFi running around offering screamingly low rates on student loans. Because they are private, those companies need not offer any of the protections a government loan offers (income-based repayment, forbearance options in the event of loss of income or disability, and so on) but retain the power to garnish tax refunds and the loans cannot be discharged in bankruptcy.
> So refuse large Kong notes. Why would you assume the economy finds workarounds for cash but not this?

That makes this, at best not better, and at worst, well, worse, because it introduces a myriad new failure modes.
> Please use good ol' plaintext

I want to emphasize on that. Why do programmers like plaintext, often to the point of wanting ASCII instead of unicode despite its international awesomeness?

That's because we are called when things break down in the machinery. Monospace ASCII may look boring, but it has a precious characteristic: there is (almost) 1-to-1 mapping between the inner representation of a character and its screen representation.

Most programming fonts make sure 1 l | i I all look different.

We make sure we can spot the difference between `'"

We know of the few remaining pitfalls, like space and tabs, \n and \r, the various escape characters, the infamous \0.

Even on that limited representation, there are many things to be careful of. And thing is: this representation is just the start of our work! all the rest hinge on that!

Unicode is full of invisible character, potential diacritics, similar-looking glyps, control character that can break the display in a lot of annoying ways.

We made a whole ASCII-based ecosystem because this mapping is precious in many debugging cases. Whatever one does in the (and I say that non-sarcastically) really wonderful and awesome world of unicode, remember that we are going to often only see it as a bunch of 0xF0 0x9F 0x92 0xA9 (<- ASCII rendition of the "pile of poo"" emoji).

Emoji are great to make some apps prettier, some chat concise, to add non verbal communication to online chat. They are not a tool to help developers' life.
Let’s be very clear: Black Americans are poorer because of racist policies that kept them out of the huge post-WWII governmental benefit programs.

Also to supply some context for those numbers (this is probably way too simple and wrong in some way though)

The size of the US economy in 2008 (US GDP) was around $20T. There were $1.7T of MBS. That's about 8.5% of the economy which mostly didn't exist, it was all debt for which the collateral was a fiction because the borrowers didn't have the money to pay off their mortgages.

The size of the US economy today is around $25T. So student loans are around 6.4% of the economy at present (and growing) and that money may mostly not exist either, because we know these borrowers are having real problems paying and the economy isn't even doing all that poorly at the moment.

Food for thought.

I've done it, now I hate Lisp. I've read On Lisp and Let Over Lambda, I've used Clojure in production, and I still hate Lisp, any and all of them. What am I doing wrong? Perhaps it's that reading code is more important than being clever when writing it. Or maybe that Lisp syntax doesn't pass the squint test[0] because it makes the wrong tradeoff of catering to the machine instead of us good ole' humans?

When I make my own language, I'll make sure to make macro calls as clumsy and hideous as possible to discourage their unexpanded use. I'll also make the whole language available at compile time but without syntax manipulation (a la Zig) to make most macros unnecessary.

So no, Lisp is far from "the language to end all languages" or whatever it is you smug Lithp weenies imagine it to be.

I understand the concept of a tool that changes the schema to match some declared state dynamically.

I wrote the same functionality into a library.

What I cannot comprehend is the poster who claims that such an approach can simultaneously:

- be automatically applied

- be reviewed and even edited after generation to handle e.g. renames

- handle previously unknown changes in the DB schema (aka handling cowboy behaviour from other ops).

All three are simply not possible at once.

My favorite is the "knocker-up"!

A knocker-up, sometimes known as a knocker-upper, was a profession in Britain and Ireland that started during and lasted well into the Industrial Revolution, when alarm clocks were neither cheap nor reliable, and to as late as the beginning of the 1920s. A knocker-up's job was to rouse sleeping people so they could get to work on time.

> in the event a key was extracted it creates a race condition at the period of claim not during the lifetime of its use - still providing some utility.

So say the key was extracted, you would not be aware until the "maturity" or whatever time you can claim the real value?

How would one then know and trust that the note I'm holding on to won't be claimed by someone else at the period of claim? As far as I see it my best option would be to try and offload any Kong in my possession as soon as possible for real goods or other currency.
