> When it mandates technology in hardware, manufacturers don’t build a New York-only version. They build one version and sell it everywhere. What passes in Albany won’t stay in New York. Once again, the USA is being a problem for the entire world. And, as usual, we don't get any say in the matter unless/until we completely isolate ourselves from them.

Trouble is, that's 300 million people and change with a lot of money to spend. Any company would be foolish to turn its back on that market completely.

    Just once I'd like to see the world's companies react to dumb local laws by refusing to sell their products where the laws apply. Problem is, other states and countries always introduce matching stupid laws soon enough. California, for example, is introducing a similar restriction on 3D printers.
