usually when politicians use Signal it's because they don't want their messages FOIA'd or audited. I can't really imagine Vance or Hegseth worrying about that, though, which makes me wonder if it's just horrible opsec, if they can't be bothered to use a SCIF or what?
fun fact: Windows uses 9p for bridging the Windows and Linux filesystems with WSL2. the devs had excellent taste in protocols.
you're right, apparently. from Wikipedia:
The U.S. Army defines assault rifles as "short, compact, selective-fire weapons that fire a cartridge intermediate in power between submachine gun and rifle cartridges."
AR-15 is semi-auto rather than selective fire, so it's not an assault rifle. I had mistakenly conflated assault rifles with "assault weapons," which is a separate (and more vague and contested) term.
you can still buy an M-16 or AK-47, but it has to be transferrable (grandfathered in before FOPA) and you need extra paperwork.
you can buy an AR-15 in any gun store. they even make a "JR-15," for kids. no, I'm not kidding.

My passport got "corrected" to M after being stuck in weeks of bureaucratic limbo and waiting hours at the passport agency. One of the agents even told me I should just accept it so that way I'd be able to leave the country.
Yeah, I dreamed of EZIC.
and I was just looking at a 100Tbps backhaul the other day.. that's what, a billion times more bandwidth?
I don't see anything about SBA in the articles above.
