I've used the microphone hardware that Echo uses and it doesn't stream audio until the wake word is received.

Kinda. The issue is the microphone. It's a specialized piece of hardware that uses a microphone array and also has wake word logic built in. There are only a couple companies that sell this and they don't sell one offs. But maybe

>> "always listen" This is somewhat correct but misleading. It's always listening for the "wake word" -- alexa or echo -- and then it processes your request. But it's not sending all conversations up to a

Also, being vegetarian doesn't mean eating healthy. I was vegetarian in college and ate tons of fries and quesadillas. I eat meat now but try to eat mostly vegetables.

Count me as a skeptic on this one. NSA employee/contractor takes home classified docs and I am assuming hacking tools, Kaspersky detects the hacking tools and uploads them to Kaspersky, Kaspersky determines it's NSA tools, notifie

My hotel had beer in the vending machine on my floor. This was Tokyo last year. This was not a public vending machine though.

If this was his intention this is a really dumb strategy. He went from having a valid lawsuit for his bonus to loosing his company and being at the loosing end of a lawsuit. I don't buy him being that dumb. He just didn't think he

This is a civil war funded by Saudi Arabia and Iran on opposite sides. Stepping in the middle won't solve the issue. edit: I'm not advocating doing nothing. But just that thinking getting boots on the ground will easily solve this

There are a bunch of reasons. I recently sat next to an Asian mom at the passport office and when the news came on about Syrian refugees she said to me "no Syrian refugees." She complained they cost us money. I asked her a couple

Good for him. I cancelled my subscription with the launch of 2.0. Just awful and buggy as hell.

What's your point? My great grandparents were Italian and Irish.

My point was basically about food breaking down in a system (our gut). We have some knowledge about this. But not much.

Agreed, research here is that supplements don't have an impact. Edit: For pregnant women and others for sure. But in the general population no

I apologize for using "chemicals" rather than using correct terms. I was just using it as a shorthand for something grown vs something made. Edit: This seems to be your argument, that engineered is the same as non-engineered. Beca

I'm not calling it vaporware. We don't understand clearly about our gut bio/digestion/food absorption. It'd be great to hear an expert on this chime in, but my guess they would say "we don't know yet"

Yes, I get that using the word "chemicals" is problematic. I understand that food is made up of the same proteins, fats, etc. When I hear hucksters marketing organic, GMO, or Soylent. I'm always cautious. Caveat emptor. Edit:

Yeah, meat/food substitutes are likely central to our population growth rate, but let's be intellectually honest. I'm not sure it'll work. I'm really hopeful the meat substitutes will pan out. We haven't figure

by deeth_starr_v 9y ago
Agreed, while the intentions of Soylent are probably sincere, when I first heard about it my response was "nope nope nope". My parents were hippies and we grew/raised most of our food when I was a kid. But my grandparents had

Yeah, when I look at their design it says "White hipster" to me. I can see why AA looking in the door would think it's not their kinda place. Still cool that they are trying.

She probably had an old DOCSIS 1 modem from a few years ago. You could only get 30MBPS with that. They usually tell you that on the phone when you try to upgrade, but they've been giving free upgrades without you asking in SF. I had to

My experience is not recent, but I ran hackintoshs for about 3 years in the early days (dates are fuzzy but 2008+). Recently, I looked into NUC's and mini-PC hacks and I don't think Broken BT/Wifi is correct as long as you pi

Age discrimination is hardcore in tech! Especially programming. I get it, when I was 23 and people told me they were 40 I was like, "damn that's my mom's age. This guy is old." I was really stupid.
