The difference is that you have a long time to observe clearly that the thing being done is very very wrong and is slowly killing the guy after it actually starts. No one is saying the guy should have recognized the possibility of danger when they started their patrol.
After it was clear to EVERYONE that they were killing the person, you would be expected to intervene.
If the guy in your example were slowly being electrocuted over the course of multiple minutes (I know that's really not a thing) and there were a "turn off the power" button right next to everyone and they didn't push it, THEN you talk about charging (ha!) the people with a crime. Even more if instead of a worker they forced a bystander onto the electrical lines and electrocuted him.
Also, and not really relevant:
> electrocuted to death
A bit redundant. "shocked" is the word for it that doesn't require dying.

Dunno. I've looked a few times for tools that would let me auto-hide all those posts... but I have never really had luck.
I use old reddit and apollo.

You left out the part where your boss was kneeling on someone’s neck while they struggled to breathe and then went unconscious and he didn’t stop.
This was not just some “mistake”. He killed him slowly and intentionally while people all around yelled that he was dying.

this would have been really nice.
Also, I'd love if we could get one for sundays.

Bigger or sooner. Either one is ok.
The earlier you change its course the less you need to change its course.

Reporting it as fact is a stretch right now even if it does somehow happen.
They lie way more than they tell the truth these days. "it's more than 0.00% possible" is not a meaningful claim to me.

Not really. Another winner when two winners were required isn't really competition. SpaceX was unable to compete for those launches.

spacex will launch anything for anyone. They know OneWeb isn't actually competition.
It's like playing basketball with your baby brother. The only one who thinks you're competing is the baby brother.

The only commercial demand is stuff that places explicitly don't want to support SpaceX for.

Yeah, I'm not going to choose to believe that.
Right now anything that starts with "russia says..." makes the paper it's printed on less valuable.

You only have to "encapsulate" it if there's something to separate it from.
In space, there's not.

Yeah and I’m saying that term makes no sense. So let’s not propagate it.

There’s nothing “micro” about the gravity. It’s nearly the same gravity as on the surface of earth.
It’s either zero g (no gravity) or free fall depending on your perspective.

This is not a “mistake”. This is callous disregard for human life.
I’m honestly baffled how you’re even able to come anywhere near equating these things.
