Special Report: Holy Mass of Black Friday
Raymond Wellesley-Falkenberg

Our Stand-In Religious Affairs Editor, Garlic Johnson, has released the following Special Report while Asphalt Suarez is away maintaining his innocence: The holiest of festivals celebrating the gods of Consumption, Impulsivity, and Treat-Yo-Self begins tomorrow. Black Friday, that counterbalance to Good Friday, is a time granted to us by the high priests during which we have the privilege and the pleasure of inflation-busting deals. The faithful gather in expectation to celebrate Consumption's vital leadership of our economy. We are ready to follow the example of Impulsivity and Treat-Yo-Self in demonstrating our loyalty. Those of us who are tempted to save will do well to remember that large pots of money will be taxed and be donated at the altar of Fair Share.

Hashatar
Paul Thaler-Williams

https://hashatar.io/ Hashatar is an experimental project to represent information, such as bank numbers and crypto addresses, as small, easily comparable images for quick visual validation. A hashatar could be printed on an invoice, displayed in a banking app, or integrated into a crypto wallet to represent critical information. Like a hash, it doesn't reveal the underlying information, which could be sensitive, but it changes radically when small changes are made to the input. This shows mistakes in circumstances when data must be reproduced faithfully either by copy-pasting, or by entering data manually. The inspiration came from a recent attack on an NPM package, which substituted any crypto addresses it found for visually similar ones, attempting to trick users into sending crypto to the attacker's address. I see Hashatar as a new standard for sensitive data entry.
