Do these voice assistants respond to any sound frequencies the microphone can pick up? You might be able to pull this off with something people can't hear well, too, if you can trick the algorithm into matching your out of human hearing band to speech.
Yes, that's why I described it as vestigial. The types of jobs that they map current jobs to in order to decide on exempt/non-exempt are all circa WWII, if I recall correctly. The ultimate origins of white vs blue collar probably go back to classism of some kind.
Yeah, sci fi and mixing ecosystems is kind of difficult speculation. Unlike War of the Worlds, the Tripod trilogy doesn't deal with their flora interacting. In the former, though, instead of making the aliens ill, our microbes would probably either be unable to affect them at all, or conversely rapidly coat them in a biofilm and dissolve them (likewise us reacting to any microbes they brought with them).
One good reason to have the lighting on a separate breaker from other crap is that the lights don't go out when your hair dryer trips a breaker, but yeah you can probably put the whole house's lighting on one breaker now...
With the companies all having goofy headquarters for tax reasons, what happens when MS Ireland tells MS US "No" when they ask for the email or whatever? Does the US just freeze MS Ireland CEO's assets until he complies or something?
Yeah when I was finishing my basement I drew out what lighting fixtures I wanted and went to add them up to see if I could get them all on one breaker... the single fixture that came with 3 incandescent bulbs used more power than the rest of the basement put together, since the others were all LED. I intend to use the 3 bulbs that came with the fixture until they burn out and then replace them with decorative LEDs, but maybe I should just get rid of them and let the LEDs pay for themselves... we bough the house just long enough ago that I'd replaced the rest of the lighting with CFLs, which themselves had a noticeable affect on the electric bill, and look forward to replacing them with LEDs as they burn out, too.
There's already plenty of stuff you can't really solder back together by hand... with integrated chips there are hardly any discrete components anyway, so the electronic gadget either works or doesn't. It'll be a hobby that used to be a trade like building furniture by hand or sewing clothes.
Oh I'm sure they're around, just like their counterparts that are sure the 2nd amendment guarantees them Predator drones. I just haven't seen it as a particularly vocal subset, but I suppose I haven't been checking television. From what I have seen, it looks like people willing to compromise are solidifying around age limits. It will be interesting to see if that takes shape given how few restrictions make it anywhere, given that Trump seems to support the idea.
Nah if we're going to go out on a limb with tin foil hats, draw some lines between killing book stores, calling the tablets Kindle and Fire, DRM books that can push updates to the contained text, and you get smokeless book burning!
I haven't seen many gun control advocates asking for AR15s to be banned. I enjoy shooting but would be fine with 21 age limit for purchasing most arms. Some of the gun control guys do seem to want them treated more like, say, a M249 or Thompson, which is arguably no more afoul of the 2nd then full autos' current status is. I wouldn't think restricting semi-autos that heavily would be necessary, but certainly restricting them more than they are now ought to be considered.
Only if they're trying to emulate our stuff abroad and trying to "win hearts and minds". I'd be shocked if an occupying force that managed to defeat our standing army is going to feel bad about droning entire towns until people stop shooting back.
That assumes you're good enough at what you enjoy, doesn't it? A stoner might really enjoy StarCraft but he's not going to "go pro." He could stop being a stoner and try harder but then maybe it isn't fun anymore and why wouldn't he just go be an accountant anyway then?
My old 2007 car had an aux in, I'd play stuff off my phone's storage rather than stream most of the time. The '96 I drove before that I had to use a FM adapter to play my MP3 player on the cars speakers. Worked better than a tape deck adapter anyhow. Newer cars have Bluetooth or USB ports, you can play a flash drive.
That's the whole point, they'll get paid off by EA Origin and tell Steam to get bent or whatever. If they were only mucking with stuff no one cared about there's nothing for them to gain from it.
Did it work, though? I can't remember the last time I heard someone listening to music on broadcast radio. Just sports games. For music everybody streams on their phones these days. I suppose the consolidation in broadcast television will be even worse, though...
Food micro would be a lot easier if that was all there was to it. Its like the guys upthread stating to eat only natural foods, and that poison is poison, ignoring that natural foods are full of (natural) poisons, and that many necessary nutrients are poisonous in some contexts.

It might useful to schools, but for consumers I think it already has been a non-starter.

Salary versus wages+overtime is probably the last vestige of the old system.

Funnily enough, the oxygenation of earth was a big disaster for the predominant life forms of the time, it's a toxic waste product to them.
It's still an interesting change, if they declared him Emperor with an heir and everything it would still be totalitarian yet notable.
But in this case, for tax purposes, the US entity is generally the subordinate one, yes?
Will it be required, like many of the mobile walled gardens, to be easily disabled with a parental password?

The flamethrowers and robot dogs should be enough, I'd think.

Only because we want to "play nice", if it came down to a Total War situation handheld firearms would be as useful as crossbows.

Apple (et al) doesn't want people to think their products are insecure, so they've been making themselves unable to unlock them, as well.
