So with this technology will Google be able to scan anything in the room, including the gestures? If this technology is used the same way microphones are used in IOT devices like Alexa I have some concerns.

Well, on the infantry side of the house thing like forced marches, ground fighting (MCMAP), field training, and live fire exercises all take a toll on the body. Most of the training requires brute force and most of the Marines because they

Clearly you have never been in the USMC. In hind sight it was pretty stupid but I have taken up to 1600mg per day for several days/ weeks in a row. We pretty much call the 800mg tablets grunt candy.

Two things that come to mind when I read articles like this. The first one is what do you expect when the Federal Reserve target inflation rate is 2%. Over a 20, 30, or 40 year time span everything at least doubles in price. The second thi

Oh, I know that there is porn on Twitter. But I wasn't really referring to porn. It's all of the other stuff that Twitter censors/ shadow bans.

I am kind of wondering what is in it for Microsoft. No public company does anything against their own self interest. Is this just a play to regulate smaller companies out of the market? What are the strategies and tactics that MS is usin

You could look at websites that advertise telescopes. If I remember correctly Celestron also sells microscopes.

I'm sure they have some smart people working on that and what the people would tolerate. It's kind of like boiling a frog. If the temperature increases too much the frog jumps out. If you do it slowly the frog stays in and even

Honestly I think that Apple will keep increasing the price until it hurts their bottom line. And why wouldn't they want to do that. They are accountable to their shareholders not the consumer.

I don't know. The Marine Corps seemed to figure a lot of that out in its Small Wars Manual from the 1940's. Here is the FMFRP 12-15. https://www.marines.mil/Portals/59/Publications/FMFRP%2012-1...

Except for in this case all vehicles, aircraft, and equipment can communicate with each other. For an adversary that would make it pretty convenient to exploit. One ransomware attack and the battle is finished. I'm just joking...sort

I think it would be more accurate to say that users are fatigued and worn out. Password fatigue is a thing. The updated password guidelines from NIST are a good start. Or the users are negligent rather than clueless. Look at the DNC hack

I agree. It may not be a perfect example but look at professional sports. Even boxing or MMA. A young fighter is hungry and doing everything they can to be on top. The older experienced fighter can fight just as hard but they could burn

I doubt that Brian Krebs hasn't considered that. He works in information security and I would assume he is not on any corporate boards. I would however agree that even though I am not normally in favor a regulations this would be a go

It's sad that the internet went from a place you could say what ever you wanted to a place you could say what ever you wanted so long as your tech overlords approve of it. Free speech has gone the way of privacy. It doesn't exist

I think that it is mostly about what the person values and what they are willing to sacrifice. If having children is a priority they will usually make the sacrifice. If not they will choose accordingly. As far as how a culture values thei

I think that this is a false argument. Just look at the poorer nations or even poorer populations. They tend to have plenty of children. Kids are expensive, that is true, but I think that most people arguing that it is too expensive to

And here is when everyone's insurance premiums go up. It will work kind of like shadow banning on Twitter. The rates will go up based on your past purchases. Especially now that most credit cards provide level 3 transaction details.

No, they get to keep any left over money...if there is any. One way owners can somewhat control who can rent property is by raising the rent to the point that it is unaffordable to junior enlisted servicemen.

You should see how the rent goes up in military towns every time our BAH goes up. If everyone knows the tenants are receiving more money the general price for rents will tend to go up. This might be the unintended consequences of a wage&#x
