Stinger/Vixen is such a cool design... it's one of the weird ones in the early era where it's not quite a normal AC, but rather (in this case) heavily customized GP-AC, which are sort of an intermediary step between your standard MT machines and ACs. 1 has a few designs that fit this, as does PP.

But he went to prison twice and is now dead, so then who would have done that?…

In those emails he is at the center of a social network in which everyone is paying him homage & going through him as intermediary for seemingly little reason, but would a figure holding power die the way he did?

It does not make sense how many bankers I speak to that do not understand what an intermediary bank is. This is pretty basic banking terminology!

The SOJ CEO, Hayao Nakayama, insisted on launching the 32X over the SOA CEO's protests that releasing intermediary hardware didn't make any sense, then shuffled the global marketing responsibity onto SOA. Nakayama also insisted on launching the Saturn in the US at E3, before enough units were ready.

[February 11th, 1926] The Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) acquired a 5th-century sculpture of the Hindu river goddess Ganga, which is from Besnagar, India, for $788. The object was sold by G. N. Rao through Stella Kramrisch, who acted as the intermediary for the sale.

But there’s no “behind the scenes” on surgical guidance, as we’re seeing now. If the output is janky, the surgeon is given bad information. Full stop. No intermediary layer.
Legal work is a little less rigid but not by much, ultimately the output text is going to be reviewed *directly* by a human.

Oh, absolutely. And if a text is going between Finnish and Icelandic (which I translate between) it almost certainly goes through an English intermediary state. Also, some machine translation tools have been getting a lot worse. Google Translate was much better a few years ago, for instance.

The U.S. is seizing Venezuelan oil through intermediary companies & taking sales outside of Venezuelan control.
Now, they are hijacking shipments headed to Cuba & redirecting them to fuel genocide in Gaza against the will of the Venezuelan people.
