Like a taser, in theory it is great to have a LESS lethal option than a gun, but if it is used in cases where they never would have used a gun, you might argue it was a net loss. Arguably, police should probably not use a taser if they do not feel threatened. But on the flipside if they feel threatened, they absolutely should be shooting them with real bullets, so the taser certainty has cost police officers their lives when they thought it would be a good enough deterrent and it turned out not to be.
Also, you can only have so much gear.
What would the feds be willing to pay for her? Snowden got asylum so some minor power could piss off and show up a geo-political rival. She would just gift 1 million dollars to some king who would just claim that she was not in his county when America came asking for her extradition.
I did find this forbes article (https://www.forbes.com/sites/gusalexiou/2022/08/15/canadas-n...) that talked about a troubling case I had not heard or and included lots of details about the whole system.
But when all you need is a nurse practitioner and a signature from someone with dementia or other mentally crippling disease, of course things like this will happen. Agree or disagree with how some European countries do it, this is not that same thing. The people pushing this are the doctors and nurses you go to to get medial treatment from, and the oversight is non-existent.
The issue is far more systemic than this article claims. In Canada MAID is the 6th leading cause of death, and is rising so fast it is basically guaranteed to be the 3rd cause by 2025.
Doctors that will not back the MAID initiative are fired, every year they expand the criteria under which you can be euthanize, right now they want to expand it to include poverty.Their are reports of children and confused elderly being tricked into euthanasia without their families knowledge. And we get reports on how much all this is saving the government.
I am not really sure what you are trying to say here. Yes Doctors work with a lot of people on the edge of death, so their patients die all the time. Also Canadian doctors are not liable for the harm they cause in the same way as American Doctors. But poor care, freak accidents, or patients too close to death save are not the same thing as euthanasia.
That does not seem to be true. The standard is a lot more complicated than it used to be, but even back with micro amount of amps a charger can push varied wildly, I have seem chargers that could not even push more than what a device uses while on.
But like I said, it is even more complicated now. The rPI4 at launch with the brand new usbc power supply system only worked with specific chargers not because of amp limits but because the usbc spec.
Also this is ignoring the elephant in the room of the serious threat of cheap poorly made chargers that fry devices. Apple will not replace your device, or your house, if you buy some 10c charger from alibaba that catches fire the second you plug it in.
