Is it even legal to use this in any developed country? Any sort of problem (a delay in the mechanism, failure or bystanders) and you got a terrorism charge.

Good question. IANAL, but my guess would be that the manufacturers are at fault if the mechanism fails and injures unintended victims.

As far as a would-be thief's injuries are concerned, a quick google search suggests that a booby-trap may be legal as long as it is not lethal.

https://www.google.com/search?...

That being said, there may be a liability problem for someone who uses such a device. A would-be thief may be able to sue, depending on the circumstances and local laws. A jurisdiction that follows the doctrine of contributory negligence will not allow a thief to sue, because they were at fault for their injury. A jurisdiction that follows the doctrine of comparative fault would allow the courts to decide to what extent the thief's actions contributed to their injury, and reduce any award accordingly.

Have you ever seen scientific study of the full schedule of vaccines in a double blind?

No and you haven't either. Conducting such a study would be hugely unethical because it would involve exposing large numbers of people to preventable diseases with known means of prevention. Double blind studies are ideal when possible but there are plenty of other valid means of studying diseases without resorting to double blind studies.

A vaccine may be safe, but the full schedule of vaccines has NEVER been studied.

Not true at all. It has been studied extensively. Furthermore there is substantial empirical evidence than any safety concerns about the full schedule of vaccines is a very small effect if it exists at all.

Now, tell me. where is the actual science on the full schedule of vaccines?

In the clinical studies for each and every vaccine and diseases that could conceivably be related to their administration. I suggest you go speak to an epidemiologist since you are in need of a clue about this. I'm sure they'll be happy to fill you in.

In other words, do you have scientific proof that a full vaccine schedule is safe. Until then, you're just sciency not scientific.

Yes we do have proof that a full vaccine schedule is safe. Scientific proof in the form of a measurably healthier populace and hugely reduced incidence of disease with barely any measurable side effects despite copious studies about the safety and effectiveness of vaccines.

Socialized medicine doesn't somehow equate to free and unlimited health care. We could spend 100% of GDP on health care and people would still eventually get to a point where there's nothing that can be done.

The most obvious are that taxpayers shouldn't be forced to subsidize the consequences if your unhealthy lifestyle.

People need to be more realistic about medical outcomes and doctors need to be more straight-forward with patents. According to many articles, a LOT of health care spending in on (usually) elderly people during their last year of life. From the articles mentioned below: (Google: end of life care costs:

Medicare, the health insurance program for the elderly, spends nearly 30 percent of its budget on beneficiaries in their final year of life. Slightly more than half of Medicare dollars are spent on patients who die within two months.

But the costs of patients in critical care with chronic disease and multi-organ failure — heavily the elderly and those for whom death is a common but not an immediate outcome — are exceedingly high. The top 5 percent of such patients account for nearly half of spending (more than $600 billion a year), ... Those patients are typically the ones whose doctors do not level with them or their families that their chances are not good, and who are put in hospice programs much later than they should be.

My wife Susan died, literally in my arms, on Jan 13, 2006 of brain tumor, just seven weeks after diagnosis. She had a Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), for which (basically) no one lives past two years and even that is with constantly declining quality of life, and it was right next to her brain stem. As a result, she declined surgery as it wouldn't have extended her life by much and would have left her severely impaired - she didn't want to live or be remembered like that.

This example is one of "malicious behavior", which is an issue for the courts. With any luck the "Just for laughs" comment would reach the judge.

It is not an example of malicious input. The car correctly sensed a risk to human life/health and correctly identified the best alternative to maintain its"prime directive". The vehicle's decision would have been exactly correct (presuming there were no better alternatives, such as stopping). An example of "malformed/malicious input" would be when the side of a truck gets confused for an overhead sign,

You can also report those apps if they're in the Google Play Store as the Google Developer Policy does not allow apps in notifications:

https://play.google.com/about/...

"Ads must not simulate or impersonate the user interface of any app, notification, or warning elements of an operating system. It must be clear to the user which app is serving each ad."

Feature was introduced in Marshmallow I believe. I had to do that when a utility app which had previously been silent got updated to spam me with ads disguised as a notification popup every few hours.

You can also control most app permissions (independent of the app requesting them) in the same place.
