No, you can’t EASILY do that. You could spend a ton of research to design a machine, but you’d never get anyone to sign off that the design was proper

You would also need a SKILLED technician to operate such a machine, and that would require someone with medical training to do so. The vast majority of people who spend significant time and money getting that training wouldn’t use it to kill people.

So now you’re left with someone who wants to kill people, designing a machine with no oversight, run by someone who wants to kill people, with little or no training. That’s literally what’s happening now, and is the reason that people are looking for alternatives.

It’s not just a linear “happy -> dead”

If you get it up too high, too fast, there’s all sorts of other effects on the body. Seizures, vomiting, panic. If you get it too low, you’re running into problems where you might cause brain damage, or organ failure without death.

They usually use a cocktail of drugs that put the victim unconscious, paralyzed, and then dead.

The details matter. If it was simple, it wouldn’t be a problem. People ASSUMING that it’s easy is why we have failed executions and victims struggling, panicking, and not actually dying. It’s bad for everyone.

State sanctioned murder is nearly always wrong, and shouldn’t be done. Not JUST because it’s difficult to do correctly, but also because it’s just not the best way to accomplish the task of stopping major crimes.

Because it takes skill to do that. You have to properly dose and inject, monitor their vitals, and keep everything safe for the witnesses.

Anyone who has the skills to do it correctly doesn’t want to be involved in murder.

Doing it without the proper skills is what causes the issues with “humane execution”

I bought my first TiVo back in… 2002?

I had to use my work landline to do the initial setup, but then I used a USB Ethernet jack for the rest. You had to do some fancy remote secret code, but it worked just fine.

Also was able to use disc mirroring to make a new, much larger, hard drive, so we could record essentially unlimited TV.

There’s always going to be vulnerabilities, that’s why they’re ending support. They don’t want to spend time updating an OS they don’t want people using.

Windows 10 is probably fairly secure… today. In 2 years, someone might discover a new vulnerability, and you won’t get the update. If there’s a new way to do web security and the browsers need OS support to implement it, you’ll be stuck on legacy security settings.

I need the cable company (or similar) due to the fact that infrastructure is hard to deploy, and we need Internet to participate in society.

Nobody needs Microsoft cause every single one of their products has an alternative that’s at least as good.

They survive by courting enterprises, but many of them can also switch away if they want.

Most likely blue are the input nodes and green are the output nodes.

You can also manually add or remove search engines (at least in current Mozilla releases)

Every time trump dodges a question, the very next reporter should ask that same question. If he ends the interview, then the next interview should start with that question. Nobody asks a different question until trump answers that one.

It’s a political award. It’s always been a political award. It means nothing aside from the fact that whoever is in power can get applause for awarding it to someone their supporters like.

Well, for one, some YouTubers made a cheap, open source VR headset. That was pretty neat.

Yeah, that’s what we want, political parties just punishing opposite groups every 4 years.

If he won the peace prize, he’d say he finished peace and would have done the same thing.

He’s a loser who only does things for the prize at the end. Once he has the prize (or not), there’s no incentive for him to continue.

Right, but you don’t want him to make a bad deal just to put food on his own table.

It’s kind of a bad situation either way, but I’d prefer they keep getting paid and don’t have to take bribes or a shit deal for me for his own personal gain.

He still did nothing about it until he was kicked out of the inner circle.

He didn’t just learn about it, then exposed it. He learned about it, sat on the info, then released it when it felt like it would gain him something.
