Now, these beneficial and sinister uses can be teased apart. When the Palladium team first presented its research, my colleague #SethSchoen proposed an "#OwnerOverride": a modification of Trusted Computing that would let the computer's owner override the TPM:

This override would introduce its own risks, of course.

L1165: o kama sona e toki pona lon tenpo lili!
Teachers: Seth Schoen
"Learn Toki Pona Quickly!"
Toki Pona, which means "Good Language" or "Simple Language", is an invented language made up by a Canadian translator named Sonja Elen Kisa. She created Toki Pona to explore her philosophy of simplicity.
It has only about 120 words, but it's amazingly possible to talk about lots of things in Toki Pona, by combining words in inventive ways (for example, using the words for fight-person, love-male, cold-box. bird-parent-ball, air-travel-tool to mean 'soldier', 'boyfriend', 'refrigerator', 'egg', and 'airplane'). However, it's definitely less precise than other languages you might be used to.
Toki Pona is one of a huge number of usable spoken languages that have been made up by somebody (in fact, there's a whole class at Splash! about those languages and the process of inventing a language: L1126, From Sindarin to Klingon to Na'vi and beyond: the Art of Invented Languages).
Toki Pona is probably the second most widely spoken language made up from scratch by a single person who's still alive today. (The first is Klingon.)
Because Toki Pona is so simple and the vocabulary is so small, we can learn a lot of it in a short time and try to have some conversations or translate things.
