    Opportunity is invisible to the timid.

    Sometimes, you have to take the jump to succeed. Or as they say, 'You miss 100% of the shots you don't take'.

  2. There are critical safety implications involved in doing this though. The size of a laptop battery has the explosive force of a grenade. Tesla cars are designed to protect the battery. Converted cars, not so much. There's also the issue of training for EMS to prevent death resulting from electrical shock. Tesla's and Prius' are obvious. But this old car everyone is expecting to have an ICE powerplant? Sure, throw water on that fire...

    Op has valid points that have Zero to do with your BS collusion agenda.

    Here's what OP wrote again, since it's obviously not what you want people to read:

    The only way to really stop Russia from using social media for their state interests is to crack down on free speech. We don't need more censorship, even when it appears to further our interests. People need to stop being so naive and start to understand that the content they consume is biased and sometimes outright false. If people were more skeptical of propaganda and could start to think for themselves, this wouldn't be an issue. Until then, society will be vulnerable to manipulation by malicious actors. No, Facebook cannot be trusted, and that should also be readily apparent to anyone with a clue.

    Let's support free speech and focus on educating our citizens about propaganda and trolling by malicious actors rather than censoring free speech. Slashdot used to be a bastion of free speech, but it seems like that's being thrown out the window. Deletion of comments once amounted to sacrilege here, yet many threads have disappeared in recent days and have obviously been deleted. That's a damn shame.

    Perhaps, instead of worrying about the Russian trolls, content distributors should change their AI-curated news feeds. Instead of showing users they will agree with to maximize "engagement", show content that represents a variety of views. If users aren't in echo chambers and get to see a variety of views, they will probably be less susceptible to manipulation by propaganda.

    Or put ideas in their head while continually frustrating the victim of the NDAS program thereby providing motivation. If they piss the victim off just enough the system will have a 100% predictive rate by picking the most vulnerable to instigate.

  15. a boss is not entitled to even attempt to convince an employee to engage in a sex act or allowed to participate in a sex act with a willing and consensual employee in most businesses.

    The balance is tenuous indeed.

    Sometimes I think the new owners have a say in how much the requirements of the real world make it to the public. Trying to balance moderation between 'poor' but still believable support or FUD as regards their ideological interests.

    I suck at maths,

    5 ways times 5 ways == 25, bi-directional means 50 ways. At least. Then there's data stored someplace where it may or may not be or have been or is about to be, compromised by flaw or design, etc.
