It's a serious comment. Sure doing it this way would give the government access to all your knowledge(not really a new state of things). But that won't stop commerce - as long as security from theft is guaranteed, which i think ca

With the current system, if you're using an exploit(especially for gain), you're a criminal.Not so when using pinata. Also , pinata exposes all hacks in public, unlike today.

It's possible to solve this technically ,such that the encryption will happen on government mandated servers, in a fully secure manner that doesn't hurt most businesses - and hat's probably how they'll handle that.

I checked again , and there's a subset of MyHDL which does support synthesis, but it's at such a low level it's not very different from VHDL/Verilog. The whole MyHDL is mostly used for verification though.

While regular polygraphs are not reliable, I think usage for P300(i.e. brain fingerprinting) is more reliable, and even used in some courts. for some numbers ,see[1]- "With both P300 and P300-MERMER, error rate was 0 %: determinations

MYHDL isn't compile-able(synthesizable) to hardware. I know they teach Chisel, a higher level language , in berkley. Maybe it fits software engineers and would be fun to design cpu's with.
