that looks like it could double time as a check list for installing a president.. it really does make logical sense, that a VP should be eligible for presidency on some basis, as the position would potentially require stepping up to a presidency.

depending on system, there should be an option to sync to an earlier image before the offenses occured, however you cant really be sure there isnt some enablement still hidden in the device so its faster and more convenient, to just wipe everything. i cant say i have a lot of sympathy, but thats what happens when you make your daily carry phone into a crime phone.

if you occupy the office of vice president and something happens to the unfortunate president elect, i heard the VP is acting prez. imnot sure of the particulars, but im thinking about a case where someone having been elected for two terms, becomes a VP, and supersedes the elected president, due to terrible circumstances.

when you get right down to it, any satellite, can be an anti-satellite if there is a disparity of value with respect to investment, and risk.

that means, a game of demo derby with a satellite near its deorbiting window anyway, is efficient, vs launching a weapons platform to start taking potshots, or spraying tetsubishi in orbit.

oh, ok if you include gangsters as professionals, i was limiting myself to government contractors, i suppose that doesnt preclude government, tendering from some of the more discreet sub contractors from that organisation, that are able to pull it off on a crowded street, with no reliable witness testimony.

take note, both styles require a team, this is not a solo venture if your in business you need cover and extraction, and supports, like a stage magician.

according to the PDF,

this affects federal law, not municipal or state law, so you could get in trouble for shorties, or suppressors from local LEO.

this is primarily about what amounts to abdication of NFA, and effort likewise for GCA.

this doesnt apply for machine guns [automatic] or destructive devices.

so FEDERALLY no taxes on short barrel or suppressor, non-prohibited persons can possess these things, manufacture for own personal use. gunsmiths may transfer these items[sell+paperwork] to any non-prohibited person, and perhaps maybe in a while you may be able to cut down a rifle to pistol size.

LOCALLY make sure you are extremely clear, on what your state or muni, will allow. this is only a step back by the feds, not others.

it may be do-able, to include this in a ToS clause as an encumberance on internal or external statements of disparagement, no disagreement or head to head exchanges publicly,or in chamber, at table, etc.

cruelty doesnt exist as a monopole,it also requires suffering, thus anthropic gives the appearance it is positing that its machines can suffer. this is preposterous. i think what is somewhat more plausible is swinging at low hanging fruit, by eliminating users that experience problematic operation, rather than, dealing with the deficiencies of thier machines.

even vending operators understand the idea that a machine left in service while in deficient state, is a lose lose scenario. if you let it go empty of change, or product, or dispense substitutions whithout prior warnings, the user looses a buck or two, the operator loses substantially more, thus the service maintenance model of extract and replace, rather than continue to vend in a default, saves money and preserves chattels.

there was a time long ago when the computer virus was unrefined, primarily existing as a demonstration of reach, used to break things, this is a similar state, and as the methods are refined, this will move beyond causing death, and toward driving people into behavioural reflexes, and performing physical actions, and integration of opinion, or misinformation, to such precision as to become a munition that performs at scale.

some one broke into my office and stole my RTX!

never mind that some one broke into the retailers location and stole a truck load!
