This is not a trivial problem to solve. Some would say that one of the entire points of software engineering is to assure that the code meets the design spec. A more rigorous approach would be to encode your design as a bunch of linting rul

So you want to make banking dramatically more expensive for everyone? All that'd do is make credit hilariously more expensive for everyone, which will push up the price of everything. I'm not sure that's a good idea.

If you want taxpayer-funded protection of your savings, that comes in return for your money being used to fund economic activity that generates those taxes. Thems the breaks. Take it up with your government if you don't like it.

The thing where it gets murky though is that the theft argument needs someone to be stolen from, or defrauded. In classical insider trading, the victims are the investors in the M&A target. I'm misappropriating MNPI about the targe

A device that doesn't understand your newly invented addressing scheme would need to rely on some other intermediate device in order to get traffic to an endpoint that does support your new scheme. You're using different words, bu

You're inventing a new addressing scheme, and proposing that we put a bunch of middleboxen in to mediate connecting the old world to hosts on this new addressing scheme. You're re-inventing IPv6.

How does a host that thinks there are only 4 billion addresses send a packet to a host with an address that falls outside of the 32 bit v4 space? This is a fundamental problem. Backwards compatibility (without introducing translation sche
