With Glock handguns specifically it’s easy to shove something in the back to block the little catch that stops it from being fully automatic, and right now it’s slightly easier to 3d print the right size piece of plastic than do it with a dremel. Some activists wanted to ban Glocks, but Glock is a big corporation so NY politicians warped it into a 3d printer ban while acting like they this is what you asked for.

And it’s vice-signalling to billionaires because Luigi supposedly had a 3d printed gun.

Lockheed didn’t finish building the docking ports yet. Artemis III is supposed to be the first one with the docking port on it.

No because it’s designed with all the things AI can’t do. Breakout is a quick repetitive loop of pass/fail linear progression. AI melts down when it has to backtrack and keep track of multiple pieces of context and figure out how to do something but not do it yet.

They move the rockets on the highway and instead of a giant flatbed they bolt wheels on to the rocket. It would be really easy for a robot Tesla to merge into the side and total it.

If they can lobby they’ll just lobby to get all their competitors’ data after it passes.

US media fell for it again award. This is how Trump always negotiates he announces a “deal” that’s actually just his initial offer and then calls up whoever it is and begs them to play along and not embarrass him because he already announced it, which works on NYC construction contractors but Xi doesn’t give a shit.

Hydro Quebec invented BYD’s battery technology, the only reason they licensed it to BYD in the first place is nobody else was going to do anything with it.

People can be banned from airlines but they get banned for the same reasons they do in the US, like getting drunk on the plane and punching someone. Or like how the US bans people who owe child support from getting a passport, judges in China are allowed to ban people with unpaid child support or big enough unpaid fines from state owned airlines until they pay.

If you actually read the thing it’s fine. It just requires phone manufacturers include a parental control function that is CAPABLE of those limits built in without charging extra for it. The parents still have to turn it on and can exempt apps from it or not set it up at all.

The most “authoritarian” part is online services with recommendations are “encouraged” (not actually required) to set up separate age algorithms. Algo for 3 year olds they recommend to be mostly audio and not ADHD video, algo for 8 year olds educational only, 12 year olds “positive” entertainment, 16 year olds “age appropriate”. And they want app store recommendations to not advertise lootbox games at kids.
