I'm not sure it'll change much. We already know confessions, lineups, and nearly all "forensic sciences" are unreliable at best; frequently outright false. But they're all still used, and wrongfully ruin peoples lives.

All they need is an "expert" to testify that, "by their judgment" a video is real.

On Reddit I only ever down voted things that were actually bad advice. Things people shouldn't do.

I think its been almost a month, since I intentionally went to Reddit. More than 3 weeks anyway.

I wouldn't say so. But it seems a lot of people disagree with me.

I've done it. It does work.

Hold your fob a foot to the side of your head. Back away until it stops working. Take 2 more steps back to be sure. Then put the fob to your forehead. It'll work again.

Everyone should read the books. As annother said the show is only inspired by the books.

The very basic premise of the books is, the individual is unimportant in face of large systemic forces. The show clearly has the opposite viewpoint. Because those kinds of stories are easier to write, therefore more common, and what people are used to. So it's also easier to sell.

It's a freemium model.

There is a feature limited free version. Then a full featured version people pay for.

In this case, there's also a business version with per-user billing.

What it describes isn't a "Wealth Tax" at all!

I get the feeling people are using the term wealth tax for anything that makes the wealthy pay more taxes.

It bugs me when clear specific terms get turned into uselessly ambiguous terms.

Does the Italic work better for emphases?

That title needs a lot of editing. It does end in a question mark, but it's structured like a statement. Even if it is a question, it appears that your asking if it seems that way way to you. How is anyone else supposed to know how it seems to you?

Small pause. That's all
