Or what if some novel component of the nanotech triggers over-the-top immune responses in humans? When I worked in a composites lab, glass fibers itched, but carbon fiber dust caused hives in some. Who is to say that all nano-tech will be hypoallergenic? A self-replicating, so-light-it-gets-carried-by-wind particle, smaller than pollen and harder to control, could be a bad thing if it became widespread.
Really? How many people fear-mongered about the first nuclear bomb tests? Were there lots of protesters at Trinity? Maybe you should go reread that book.
So now there are parts of the Government that are not subject to redress by the people? Didn't someone start a war over that? Tried to start their own country, with a government that answers to the people? How did that turn out?
And being falsely persecuted by the government wouldn't make you bitter enough to consider the government your enemy. That would just be proof that they knew you were a threat before you did.
Now imagine using your shotgun to shoot the other player before he can launch the ping-pong ball at you. You might just take out his paddle, or even his hand. If he is lucky. When we are talking about a weapon that could be on the far side of the world in an hour, analogies must be abused.
You left out the part where the biggest player in that industry produces a product that doesn't technically meet the standards, but is accepted anyway for your choice of reasons.
I know programmers (retired now) who optimised to shave off the odd byte or machine cycle. They worked for the IRS. Apparently when you apply the same operation to to every tax return, those fractions of a second start to add up to real time, and the IRS didn't want to waste computer time.
I found at the Colorado School of Mines that homework smeared with beer was graded a full letter grade better than otherwise-identical non-beered homework.
In a quick study, (otherwise identical assignments, except one smeared with beer), beer-smeared Statics assignments got at least a full letter grade higher than non-beered homework. The smell of beer improved the graders' response. Once I figured that out, college was easy.
Later, I became a grader myself. And I figured out that according to the rules of partial credit, it is possible to get a degree in engineering without having ever gotten a correct answer (low C average, but possible.) Usually though, the people who can follow directions, identify the variables and formulae that use them, show their work, and get an answer with the right sign/units/order of magnitude/makes sense in the problem (basic sanity checks) tend to get the correct answers.
They apply to the US domain rojadirecta.com. (gTLDs with US registrars are arguably under US jurisdiction.)
Let's consider the telephone analogy. You're saying that if I live in Puerto Rico and I have a cell phone with AT&T, the fact that AT&T is a US company allows the US government to seize my phone number if I conduct business in Puerto Rico using my phone which is perfectly legal there but illegal in the US.
You do realize that Puerto Rico is a territory of the USA, right?
Or anyone who happens to check your FB page between the time FB makes a change to privacy settings and the time you log in, notice the new privacy options, and change them back to your preferred setting.
I know a woman who married a man with a very unusual name. He and his family have FB accounts, but FB will not let her change her name on the account because it trips as "made up." Even though it is her legal name. Even though FB shows her status as "married," to someone with that same name. She has been contacting FB for more than a year, but can't get hold of anyone who gives a shit to let her use her legal name on her FB account.
It sounds like they demonstrated really-high bandwidth to a single specific user, but how well does it provide high-bandwidth for multiple users? Wouldn't it get calculation-intensive, as each signal is modulating the others?

You mean the same way scientists working with hybrid africanized bees were being careful?
It doesn't need to be programmed to destroy the planet. That could be a side-effect.

There is ZERO work being done on trying to make self-aware machines, because nobody understands how that process works, even in humans.
So we don't know how the process works, but we can be absolutely sure we won't accidently build an analogous system?

I don't have to assume anything. I didn't write the article. Nice rant, though.

I saw them being built. The precision was insane. 3 days to cool the frame to a specific temperature so dimensions were exact.

Yeah, but how many people actually remember all the things they learned in school?
Don't the investigators have access to the computer he assembled his "Breivick's Big Book of Crazy - (With Pictures!)"?

Are we sure it was all done by just one organization?

I'm curious what you thought the relation was.
