...and no more "Hey Google - call an ambulance as this guy's having a heart attack" either.
We're really at version 0.9 of this sort of tech. First they need to distinguish between a few known voices per device. Then they need to distinguish *every* voice, and not sorry which device those voices were heard on. Then they need to be able to act intelligently for any unknown voices - of course, one man's 'intelligent response' is another's 'complete bollocks'. After all that, they need to actually be able to do something useful - really useful like "Hey Google, hold my calls unless they're important" - a human can do that quite easily, but it'll be a while before computers can. When they can though, we might be at v1.0. It's okay, I can wait;-)
Based on the product road map you've laid out, they would currently be closer to 0.1 than 0.9. Voice recognition has been around a long time. Cloud computing has just helped make it "smarter" by allowing multiple recognition engines to be run in parallel, with the most confident engine's interpretation being selected.
I think the ones with memories of being close to starvation don't really mind Trump's ideas. When your life sucks that much a risk of nuclear war is going to be far less scary if it offers the chance of a better future than for us. It's us and our comfortable lives for which Trump's ideas are truly scary.
Ah, that's an interesting take. I should have been more elaborated more in where my thinking was - that no amount of creativity or ideas have set free those oppressed by political regime there. Although, one could argue that this is in part due to all the propaganda, and that there is an active suppression of those ideas coming to light.
Here's what I did - works pretty well for making "dumb" appliances smart.
$50 Echo Dot (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015TJD0Y4?tag=googhydr-20&hvadid=178760267662&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16462602238754345856&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_1bxrunqc4w_e) for voice control.
$30 set of 5 RF power plugs (https://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Wireless-Electrical-Household-Appliances/dp/B00DQELHBS/ref=sr_1_2?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1491405099&sr=8-2&keywords=remote+power+control+city)
$50 Hook smart home universal RF bridge - allows the dot to control any RF devices on 315 or 433 mhz freqs: (http://www.hooksmarthome.com/)
IFTTT.com - easy online rules you can write that work with the Hook
One example of something I've done with this is program a sign to turn on in the morning if it will be clear that day, basically signalling to me to grab my fun car keys for the drive to work or wherever that day. IFTTT pulls a weather report to my gmail account, my gmail rules apply the appropriate tag based on the weather report, and another IFTTT rule turns the light on if the email has been tagged a certain way. Easy, and a fun way to avoid having to check the weather before leaving to work. Frivolous? Sure. Fun? Yeah!
Other than a method to allow a hacker unauthorized access to your home, why on god's green earth would you need a wifi powered garage door opener *for your phone*, when the tried and true RF based ones have been around for decades?
i'm 34; am i too old to understand why people would want clownshit crazy things like this?
Geolocation from your phone can automatically open and close the garage. No security risk of having a garage opener in your car (I HAVE had my opener stolen and my registration taken out of the glove box, and easy way to ransack a house while someone is at work).
yes - it allows for the selection of server by geolocation or performance (there is a utility to ping/bandwidth test all of their servers and compare). I'm near Seattle, picked the Seattle server, and have steam d/l server set to Seattle. Sometimes I trace back to New Jersey for some reason, but I'm getting ~150 ping times worst case for gaming.
I've moved from PrivateVPN (seem incompetent) to CyberGhost premium (slow, dodgy untrustworthy they essentially log), NordVPN next.
Valve/Steam f**ks over VPN users, downloads go at 40KB/s whilst using VPN, they seem to think it's up to them whether I use a VPN, like fuck you valve, that isn't your choice to make.
Over my 50mb/s connections I've seen 9-30 mb/s with steam using expressvpn
Yeah, that's why I think it has to have some sort of local/community/social connection. I'm not sure that would convince me, but it's more than they have going on right now.
I like those theaters, and I will continue to go to those more often until my child is old enough to start attending movies. Then my priorities would point towards a more family friendly experience. That's why I think there needs to be more thought in the attending audience at theaters, and the ability to cater to different segments that have similar things in common.
It's worth the price of admission just to give me ISP the middle finger. You're won't profit from pilfering all my data. Sure, others do, but I as an informed consumer opt in to those services, knowingly.
Instead of simply asserting there's some sort of magical experience that a only a theater can provide, how about theaters actually focus on differentiating themselves? It's clear they've lost the technology race, as good sound system, large and 3d televisions are relatively affordable, etc. You have a group of strangers in a room together, watching a film. Right now, I think many of us perceive this as a negative, as there are usually a few who are rude/noisy, using their phones, etc. Turn that negative into a positive. Turn that room full of strangers with a shared interest into a community. See Rocky Horror Picture Show for details.

"Stay out of your users' way and let them work the way they want to. If I'm daft enough to want to try to host a commercial website or want to do serious software development on a netbook, that's my problem."
MS probably agrees with you, you'll just have to pay the normal going rate. Remember, we're talking about a ~$40 version of Windows here. It's more OS options as far as I'm concerned... especially if they subtract that $40 from an upgrade to the real deal. Voila, people that don't care about the restriction pay less for legitimate software, and those who want all the features are pretty much unaffected.
The real weak link would be whenever and whereever he physically took possession of the money. That's where his real identity must interact with the "chain" the money has followed.

I'm tired of hearing the myth that loud exhaust save lives. Drawing all other drivers' attention to your vehicle is anything *but* safe for them. And if by "lives", you mean just of those who have loud exhaust... then consider this - you (and by extension those around you) are less able to hear *important* noises that signal danger (sirens, car horns). Driving defensively (and like you're invisible if you're a biker as I am) is a far safer and more practical solution for everyone.

Sounds like it should be a configurable option - defaulted to security over usability.

Noisy exhausts save lives - do your part.
