That would require a lot more computational power than is currently available in an Echo device. It's possible that Amazon could sneak a custom ASIC into the device to do something like this, but it would add quite a bit to the device

Now that the feature is disabled, it's hard to know. Once the feature is enabled, it's pretty easy to tell by looking at the network traffic the device generates. Sending every sound to google is going to be obvious.

Yep. I work inside a lot, so I started taking 5000IU of D a day. After two weeks, I had my levels tested and it showed a level of 37. When fall comes around, and I'm outside even less, I'll probably up the dosage for a week or

There's a lot of weird setups in how the us flight attendant pay work, largely due to how the union negotiates them. FAs are paid only while the plane door is closed, so there's a huge incentive to fly long-hauls. Also, flights

I think the other important angle is that land is often the foundation of other property (structures, improvements, etc.) You own land, but care so little about that land that someone else builds some other property on it. Then 20 years la

Yeah, the parties are going to have things they agree on. The question is how much is that agreement out of line with what the citizenry want, or at least, what they think they want until the consequences of wanting that is rammed home by

This is also the case for server containers, and I do worry about the day that some critical low level library that is in thousands of containers has a security bug. Yes, many shops are using CI to push out new containers regularly. Other
