I watched a demo of that sound technology and it worked on everyone they tried it on, except this one dude who was absolutely immune. It was wild. I’ll try to find the video, but it was a while back.

EDIT: Here is the video. youtu.be/J-SH18dtBlY

It kinda brothers me when I see something attributed to an entire country when it really only has to do with a small group or area within that county.

Like a single town in India could do some thing, with 95% of the population having no idea about it, and the headline would say “look at this thing India did!”. I use India as an example because I feel like this happens with non english speaking or non-western countries more. Like, if it were US researchers that made the silence gun the caption would say “researchers at Harvard” instead of “the US did this”.

I think its appropriate to use that phrasing when its something that was done as part of a national government project or policy, if its something that exists across a wide swath of the population/area of the country, or if you are comparing a thing across two countries (e.g. the Taiwanese semiconductor industry vs the South Korean one).
