Comment Impossible (Score 1) 45

This is obviously impossible unless almost any moving parts are prevented, or printing with some materials is prevented. That would make it impossible to 3D print lots of stuff that is not illegal.

The effect on open software and hardware is also disastrous.

As others pointed out, currently you can make better gun parts on some non-computerized equipment, so this also does not seem to prevent anything.

Correct, Google AI was mistaken by sticking that word "Domestic" in there along with "USDA". Only 94.2 million cattle In the USA, which the maximum number of Bison was somewhere around 30 million. This matches the 3x to 4x increase that I expected. I am surprised that the USA has such a small portion of the world total however, but the 1.5 billion number was backed by multiple sources.

I have also heard that both Bison and grass-fed cattle emit less greenhouse gasses than most farmed cattle, not sure what the factor is.

This is an interesting observation, but not entirely false. There are edits on Wikipedia that basically amount to "wiki link every word in the article". IMHO this could well be in violation of potential laws against algorithms. I'm not sure if Wikipedia should get a pass because it is "free" or whatever.
