The purpose of hollow points is to reduce over penetration, so the bullet doesn’t go through the target and injure someone else behind it. Can you stop with the nonsense? You produce it faster than I can correct you.

Guns _are_ designed to kill, and yet they (rifles) still kill around the same number people as pools. I take this as further evidence that the "assault weapon problem" is blown completely out of proportion in the media.

You're throwing a lot of numbers around in an attempt to look like you know what you're talking about. Ballistics and wound cavities are much, much more complicated than just "more momentum == more deadly". Example: The

Do you know how many people are killed by rifles per year in the US? ... Around _400_[1]. That's ALL rifles. Hunting rifles, bolt action, "assault weapons", whatever, in a country with ~300M-1B guns and a population of 330M.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. My gut instinct is that opening these things can lead to a ton of malware and fake app stores, which will lead to a not-insignificant number of people being victimized. I'm also annoyed that the

That could be, or we're just more aware than ever of exactly how incapable/irresponsible/irrational the average person is (regardless of where they land on the political spectrum).

> the Second Amendment doesn’t preclude regulation that is consistent with being able to raise an armed militia from among citizens, like the Swiss have. You might be very disappointed to know that Swiss gun control is very very liberal.

Agreed. I also get a license from my employer, but continue to pay for the all products pack separately because they make such nice stuff, and I'm happy to support them in this small, mostly symbolic way.

How do you handle deploying the rust code that's embedded in your python code? Do you have multiple deployment targets for the code (mac, linux, windows)? This is the sticking point for me with embedding rust into my python projects.

Took an offer for an early stage startup, ~0.25% of the company vesting over 4 years (best I could get at the time). Company proceeded to dilute 40-50% per round (pre-seed, seed, and series A) while bringing on an endless stream of do-nothi
