with my appliances. That's for some of the people I know, not any machines.
I don't want it cracking jokes some marketer thinks I should hear - I have TV for that. I don't want it cooing soothing burbles if the "AI" figures I'm not feeling up to snuff. I have friends for that. I don't want it trying to carry on a faux conversation with me. I get enough of that crap in the real world.
In short, if I at all want a voice interactive machine, I want it to listen to what I command, interpret said command correctly, execute it correctly and then, if warranted, respond with the results.
I have had the opportunity a number of times and refused it. I have no desire whatsoever that an employer be able to consider that just because I work from home, my home is an extension of their environment. I worked 40/wk with the occasional on-call and that's as far as I wanted it to go. Every single workaholic that you interface with at the business now thinks that you're also available at all the hours they make themselves so. Nope, I am not. I have another life and it is sacrosanct.
Vice versa, by the way. When I work, I don't want friends and family interrupting me.
Carolingian minuscule - look it up. You're ideas of the "Dark Ages" aren't supported by history, it's a made up term by Petrarch, an Italian poet longing for the "glory" of Roman.
Both his and your examples are still a matter of "how you spell the instructions and registers". Just because the two machines you used don't have exactly the same machine instruction sets and so require different programmatic solutions doesn't change that.
Yes it is. So is binary or hex machine code if you want to write in it. I've coded in both assembly and hex. Been decades, but I've done it. Just because its use is uncommon today doesn't make it a non-language.
*Some* of us tried to tell people it was a terrible idea. A lot of/.ers thought it was just a peachy thing and volubly heckled us about it, laying out in great detail how beneficial it was to have your refrigerator keep your grocery list for you to check as you shopped, be able to automatically turn you lights on and off as you went to and from work, etc.
You want to go that way? Don't start series (ala Jessica Jones) and then abort them after one very successful season. Gives the false impression it wasn't well received.
Staggering production times would help as well. Why should viewers wait for all the shows to start new seasons at the same time?
And they are mean sons of bitches. The people championing them here seem to think they're like lab rats, docile. Sewer rats are anything but. They will attack human infants and adults. I've been bitten by one in my sleep and seen a rat kill a cat.
That depends entirely on what manner of person the kid is. I have a neighbor who has a daughter who is an absolute asshole to her; constantly wanting money for things, constantly berating her. The woman would definitely be better off without the daughter.
Yes it does, it's your stuff. If people abuse it, even in just your opinion, it's your prerogative simply stop making it available. Unless you're promoting that once offered the "community" can *force* you to keep making it available instead of ponying up the resources you were. Is that your position?
What virtue you have. You're opinion is based on just that, your personal opinion. Unless there are free kiosks that cannot display porn, you have nothing to substantiate your claim.

What makes anyone think it has a purpose?
Your assertion does not make it so.
Second sentence true, first sentence false.
Abrupt climate changes have occurred before civilization.

I think you mean [s]he. Trump spews ad hoc, Hillary runs on a script.
Oh please. DeM exists in all genres of literature. SciFi no more supports it than English literature or modern: Oliver Twist, Lord of the Flies,

The conditions *are* the reason, at every level.

It's those little bastards that taught us how to do this. The little anti-environmental vermin have been polluting the planet for millennia

Goldfish are carp. Carp are everywhere. We already *have* conquered their empire.

What a disingenuous way to say "everyone who sues you".
Ha! Bingo
How so knee-jerker? Are you under the delusion that European politicians don't make promises they can't keep?

Their being promised free wifi and their actually getting it are two very, very different things.
