What a fantastic analysis. I've loved the Trusting Trust paper for decades now, it's so short and sweet and mind-blowing. But I honestly assumed it was a kind of thought experiment, not something Thompson actually created. Amazing to see the actual code and also learn how it sort of got into the wild but didn't quite pervade. (At least, we don't think so.)

Code already decides the future of nations. My country uses voting machines which run software. People keep asking for the source code even though it would prove nothing...
