The language grew out of a personal project by Mozilla employee Graydon Hoare, who stated that the project was possibly named after the rust family of fungi.[11] Mozilla began sponsoring the project in 2009[10] and announced it in 2010.[12] The same year, work shifted from the initial compiler (written in OCaml) to the self-hosting compiler written in Rust.[13] Known as rustc, it successfully compiled itself in 2011.[14] rustc uses LLVM as its back end.
It should be a voice command that it's always listening for, like the "Alexa" or "Siri" words on those devices. It could be, oh, I dunno, "Freeze motor functions!"
Although on second thoughts, that might not work out so well...

Two telephone books (do they even print those anymore?) will (just) stop a 9mm. That's FMJ -- and a reasonably large metropolitan area telephone book. Even a.22 LR will penetrate a couple of inches.
Military rifle ammo won't stop for much short of a couple of railroad ties. (The old standard for 7.62mm NATO and similar was that it had to penetrate a steel helmet at 1000 yards. Modern 5.56mm (.223) stuff is a little wimpier -- but will still easily go through a car door at close range.)
You might want to read up on how aircraft navigated before GPS (and still do, to some extent). In addition to ATC beacons, RDF (radio direction finding) off of commercial AM broadcasting stations was and is a thing. Triangulating from two isn't that hard for a human, it's a trivial task for a computer. Good luck overriding the signals from a few multi-kilowatt commercial broadcast towers.
I was wondering whether somebody would comment on the Mars connection. Musk doesn't seem to do anything without there being a Mars connection.
Well observed. (Although radiation isn't that extreme, it is a concern... as are meteorites that the thin atmosphere also doesn't shield too well from. This may be as much about mining (digging for ice deposits?) as about tunnels to live in.)
Oh, not looking the enemy in the eyes started long, long before Dresden, or even The Blitz. Hell, it was old when the English at Crecy and Agincourt rained death on the French with longbow and cannon. It was probably old when Xerxes attempted to do the same (well, sans cannon) to the Greeks at Thermopylae.
War isn't a contact sport, it's a continuation of politics by other means.
I think in the US, Hershey licensed some brand names from Cadbury. Look at the fine print on the back of a Cadbury bar. Still tastes better than straight Hershey chocolate, though.
Cash is just a medium of exchange. If there's no officially printed/minted currency, the criminals will find something else. It's not as if there was no crime before money was invented.

"Xhe" looks like you're trying to write Chinese. Or perhaps Mayan.
"We're approaching a cliff. If you don't want to die horribly, fasten your seatbelt."
Fortunately, "their" is now both singular and plural too, so "everyone fasten their seat belts" works.
That is, so long as each person has multiple seat belts. ;)
They were waving flags?
Just watch out for the escarpment at the bottom. At as much as 8km high, that first step is a doozy.
True, but these guys are in Colorado. We get maybe a dozen cloudy or hazy days a year. And it's a semi-desert, no muggy days.
Yeah, it might not work so well in the Mississippi valley region.
OTOH, if they're shifting to a frequency of infrared not absorbed by H2O, it might not care about puny water vapour.
A warehouse full of dead monitors will not just sit there "forever".
In related news, a recent excavation in an Egyptian pyramid has turned up a trove of what appear to be ancient CRTs.
Uh, nope.

However, I'll grant that LLVM is written in C++.
Or, "that's between me and the IRS".
But, does shit float in cream?
Enquiring minds want to know.
What if you can't reach the kill switch?

But I'm still holding out for scrith.
If that's all you're doing, blanks with a BFA work fine (mostly).
Although you still leave a ton of brass lying around.

Yeah, those. Of which original poster cites several examples of prior art.
I also recall a fictional article in Galaxy SF magazine back in the 1968, "The Warbots", written and illustrated by Larry Todd.
Here are some of the pix: https://2warpstoneptune.com/20...
He can't. Not of the US anyway, not without a Constitutional Amendment. He's African-American. ;-)
He's doing fine right where he is, anyway.

Good place for one, given the weather. I left Canada over 25 years ago, so I'm not up on the details. (And I lived in Southern Ontario and Quebec.)

You said subway. That limits it to (IIRC) three cities, and if you were in Montreal you'd have called it the metro.
Toss-up between Toronto and Vancouver.
No idea how the above poster arrived at his conclusion.
Hershey's is something almost but not completely unlike chocolate.
(Hey, I grew up on Nestles and Cadbury, both in England and Canada.)
