Only if you know something the public doesn't that could move the needle on the stock price. You don't need to be an officer in the company but generally those are the people who know those critical details.

However if you are told by people in the company about some secret new product, how much the company is loosing (and its not public), have access to financial reports or other such things it could be insider trading.

Generally you should receive training about this subject by the company.

John Carmack was already at a reduced role and it appears that much of his advice which was mostly about what they should optimize was not being made a priority. Optimization got VR to the point of usability but it is unclear if it's still the most critical path.

Although Carmack had a few ideas he always said he didn't know what the right direction to take was. So I don't think his value was that critical, particularly with his reduced role other then for hiring. Also they still have Michael Abrash.

Lol, have fun with that. As the war had shown, drones are really different to shoot out of the sky. Also if you get caught firing into the sky and it lands on someone else's property or you fire from outside your property you'll be arrested.

It's completely irresponsible to use a firearm like that particular at a drone that may be carrying life saving items.
