Interesting username combined with your point.

I agree, but I also can understand why he chose what he did.

I agree.

I just feel like I understand why navalny went back to Russia, despite the obvious threat to his life.

Sometimes there are things a person chooses to do that are bigger than themselves.

He chose to allow himself to be a martyr. Hopefully it makes a difference, but it very likely may not.

Who knows, maybe his sacrifice paves the way for his successor.

Sure, but that’s an environmental solution to what they see as an economical problem.

We need to rethink how economies work in a population shrink.

Sure, but the topic is “rf interference of your camera feeds”

You CAN interfere with Ethernet, but it’s much harder to do, as evidenced by your 100 watts

Sure, but still harder to do than wifi

Maybe, but guns are a very different problem.

A toddler won’t kill their sibling with this by accident.

Clearly criminals who steal cars will DEFINITELY listen to this new law banning their tools.

I can concede to that… there will be some grey area, but the idea that “there is no true photo” or “there is no truth” feels wrong.

I think the line (while the details may be certainly difficult) is along “are you making the existing image/story clearer or are you changing the narrative of the media?

When the story you get from the image changes, then you’ve crossed the line.

That’s a great example of what goes wrong, and it was amazing to get the news on it.

“By the way, you’re now an invading force, surprise!”

It has a very “zap Brannigan” feel to it

I think that’s disingenuous…

There’s a clear difference between a processing mistake and an intentional addition. That’s a fairly clear line. Grain on a photo is not the same as making you look like a human head on a shark’s body.

Yes, no photo is 100% accurate, just as no statement will ever capture an incident perfectly. That doesn’t mean there’s no such thing as lying.

There is definitely a line.

Is the tech trying to make the photo more accurate, or change the narrative?

Sure, there’s some tech that’s awkwardly in the middle, like skin smoothing, but we don’t NEED that, and it’s not directly changing the narrative of the story, unless you’re selling acne medication.

Agreed. You’ll have to prove that the person knows (or reasonably should have known) that his words were going to cause great harm to someone. Not unlike telling someone to “kill themselves” where we already have some established laws/rules etc…

The only sensible take.

Sadly I think that allowing people to spread lies is a necessity. Yelling “fire” in a crowded theatre clearly is over the line….

Perhaps the line is at misinformation that is intended to do direct harm?

So illegal to say “drink bleach” but not illegal to say “Covid is a hoax”

I’m not sure, but that’s the best line in the sand I can think of without giving too much power to governments, or allowing too much harm from a lie.

Yeah it did, they just weren’t upfront with you about it. They just billed you at a higher rate

Everyone is blaming Netflix, but it’s not their fault.

It’s the fault of the content owners. Disney, fox, paramount etc…..

Rather than make a little money off of Netflix, they decided they could scam more money by launching their own competing service

Sure, but no plane within about 2km is going to stay in the sky….

The em pulse, the shockwave, the heat….

Aim is for handguns, this thing might take yourself out if you’re not careful.

Mostly a “cost” basis, but it’s an assumption for the Google assistant for sure. Siri I’ve tested.

It varies some….

Most of it is remote, however “Siri” actually does a lot locally, and I assume Google assistant does too.

Those are likely the only two that do much locally, everyone else does it all remotely.

The problem is that they combined three different pieces of software into one cheaply.

So it’s big, clunky and doesn’t often work.

Apparently they are trying to fix it, but we will see
