You Can Now Buy Shotgun Shells Designed Specifically For Shooting Down Drones
The packaging says, “Prepare for the drone apocalypse!” which is either a joke or a really alarmist thing to make people feel paranoid. The shells are full of #2 steel shot, which is rather big, meaning that hitting a drone from a reasonable range with one of these would likely reduce it to a pile of smashed electronics.
For the uninformed, these rounds are useful for dual purpose: #1 or #2 shot shells are also the best for anti-personnel vice the popular opinion 00 shells. Lighter weights are not as good for penetration at increasing distances, and 00 is too heavy and thus patterns with too much gap at the 25 to 50 yard ranges. #1 and #2 are a sweet spot for both close and far on shot weight, pattern, and pattern gap.

Soon they'll be replacing the CEO's, should be interesting purchasing stock in a fully automated company with absolutely no human executives or employees of any kind. If it break the laws who can the government arrest?
Middle management, not the board of directors and CEO. Not until they can get a computer that understands the vagaries of human whim in selling product.

The fun part is that corporations are treated like persons under the law, so a fully automated company indirectly would bestow Personhood on an AI program. If the program cheats on taxes or illegally sells weapons to banned countries it could go to prison. There could be a tax dodge where you set up this fully automated company, resign and collect stock dividends, remaining immune to all circumvented law prosecutions.
Interesting thought there, but I am thinking it would be treated legally as a parent / child relationship until such time as an (the) AI could prove itself as an adult.
Not that many adults I know could do that either. Maybe it would become an aging milestone, like for humans and be irrelevant to the actual biological or cognitive maturity.

I've heard some comment that stock trading algorithms can negative short sell and market manipulate just like humans, only in milliseconds, so in some respects we may be already there.
The app uses an increasingly powerful form of artificial intelligence called deep learning. By analyzing thousands of photos of gravestones, this AI technology can learn to identify a gravestone it has never seen before. The same goes for cats and dogs, trees and clouds, flowers and food.
