That video is classic LTT; interesting idea terribly executed which leads to incorrect conclusions. The latency difference doesn’t matter to humans, but wired is faster.

If you’re thinking about it with the mindset of what the minimum is, you’re not a prospective customer.

So cars=bad∴cars->ASD? Is that your argument?

How did you calibrate the meter for the changing temperature and pressure? Most CO2 meter designs are extremely sensitive to pressure changes.

It's a cheap portable, with no calibration possible. I have no idea what effect pressure would have on it, unfortunately.

That would require us as a society to develop concrete solutions to determining who can be trusted. That’s obviously impossible, so we’re stuck with the process we have.

It's actually the individual's responsibility to develop an understanding of how one determines what is trustworthy and what isn't trustworthy, and they they do their best to develop that. For example, if someone lies, they are caught lying, the evidence is presented but a person doesn't care or put any weight on that someone lied - well, they are going to rank that person or an organization they are running or still party to.

I'd argue it's bad actors who don't want such a highly organized system that helps people discern easier, a sort of societal wide "fog of war" to make knowing closer towards the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth - harder; with AI generated images and video coming, I don't know how society will cope with such a thing - where "video evidence" could exist painting a horrific reputation of someone to destroy them perhaps not only economically but perhaps also weaponizing a mob to kill someone.

you mean like the "science" and "experts" paid off by the sugar industry to promote sugar for 50 years while demonizing fat?

Who was promoting sugar, exactly? This is an extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary proof.

Sometimes, and sometimes it’s a name.

And very occasionally it's a serendipitous name!

Nominative Determinism is a hell of a thing.

...and so is Selection Bias.

That’s not what’s being suggested at all though. The problem with sarcasm is it’s boring but feels oh so clever to the person who writes it.

Which really underscores that all of the MFA stuff is actually about security. Because of course it is.

What are you basing this on? The US government gets told no about things it really wants literally all the time.

Edit: this is also not the federal government, state and local government has even less juice than the little the Feds possess.

Sounds like you meant fairly explicit goal, not fairly explicit plan.
