Overdosing isnt an unfortunate sideffect, its people making an error while dosing. An error that is easily preventable with a bit of care. The airback equivalent is very much fitting, its an emergency aid for once you made a mistake. If you

Had to read up a bit, but either way i seem to have mixed something up. I did not know the French tear gas grenades also had TNT in them. But I read about such flashbang/teargas mixups before their introduction in 2011. The non french

As no one else mentioned it, depending on which country you are in, you should never try to pick up a tear gas canister shot/thrown at you as you might confuse it with a flash bang in the heat of the moment. There is a long list of peo

The US started a trade conflict due to geopolitical interests, it has nothing to do with the topic at hand. The US is willing to act in their best interest, we are talking about countries acting against their best interest out of a humanita

You dont really need pellets. The pressure of a water canon is high enough to break rips and pop eyes. You dont achieve anything more by adding pellets. They do however mix in the different variants of pepper spray into the water. Some coun

No idea why this is downvoted, I think its a daring thesis that China cares what the rest of the world thinks. On top of that there are only a few countries that can afford and are willing to actually act on something like this, there is ju

Your kids being the only ones without an tablet/smartphone is social death. Great they are not stuck to a screen, instead they will be a miserable outcast. I agree with your initial post, but the implementation is far from easy and nee

We all are making choices in our life. Abusing pain medication is also a choice. If it was problem born only out of lack of information, we wouldnt have this discussion about the necessity of tighter restrictions. You only need restrictions

Like others have quoted, south of 20m means south of 3m. At that price tag grave digging makes complete sense if you can stem the running costs.

First of, thanks for sharing your experience and insight here. You do however see how that is a bit difficult to just accept without any backing up, considering a former engineer might naturally be a bit biased about the public perception o

Do you base that on anything but a suspicion on your part? You are claiming this to be a misconception, can you actually back that up? I have no idea who those new content creators are supposed to be, like everyone else i just saw people wi

I dont think there is anything problematic in simply encouraging people to vote, even if you tend to reach certain groups better. A higher voter turnout should be something to strive for, its a sign for a healthier democracy. The current ap

You can simply equip those people with a tracker. Then it also works if they leave the stadium. Put them in their shoes and you dont need their cooperation either. If they dont have any just put the persons picture on the stadium screens.

But one of the easiest to track everyone everywhere. What makes it so dangerous is its scaleability. The large error margin isnt a problem if your goal isnt finding single terrorists but create a surveillance state.

I missed the part of the article which mentions getting matched against deepMind is opt-in in the first go through. So everything should be fine.
