But consider that Google Home missed the part about it being a question. I can see other situations where such a sentence might be used where I didn't want a SWAT response or any response at all.
Yes, I understand the 911 people listened in and made the decision to respond based on what they heard, and again in THIS case they were correct.
But there are all sorts of permutations of this where Google Home and whoever they called might be bad.
I certainly don't want to be sitting around bad-mouthing my employer / parents / next door neighbor who owns guns / [insert someone else here] and have Google Home call them so they can here it all...
It isn't that there are not smart people at the DOD. It is the average is well average. And that doesn't fill me with confidence. I work with smart people. People who have used computers for 20 years. And I still have to explain basic file handling and email concepts to them. it is even more baffling when OCD organized people , people who organize parts and clothes by size color and shape. have 100 files and folders on their "desktop" computer and can never find what they are looking for.
I understand your point.
I work exclusively with pilots, most of whom are Academy grads as well as having advanced degrees, mostly science but it varies, from well known schools.
So my exposure is probably skewed. The "rank and file" actually have to do fairly regular computer security and safety training to maintain network access, but absorbing the essentials is a variable.
I can not speak for the Army or other DoD departments, only mine, which in general is made up of educated people.
So every single military transaction is prone to human error and or complacency.
Why? You're making a huge ASS umption that most if not all people who send sensative email are not like me. Of course I work for the Air Force where people are intellegent, but the idea that the DoD is populated by morons is a stereotype prepetuated by people who have never had meaningful interestion with very many people who work for the DoD.
None of this, of course, is to say that encryption of email itself has been un available. Indeed I use the credentials on my CAC (Common Access Card) to encrypt most if not all of my email before sending it.
It is possible that the reason is unrelated to Thr Trump Ban. many times people from these particular type of shit-hole countries get a visa of one type or another and then just dissapear into an expat community.
Sure, I know this is a serious issue because, well, it has to be: Children and Sex are in the same headline... But I want to bring your attention to another, more despicable, more disgusting, more heartbreaking, and damn right more obscene perversion that is just out of control in our society: Robotic Sex Horses. When will these stallions be unchained and set free? God almighty, I need to go take a shower
Maybe if the american AV companies didn't make such a horrible bloated POS that kills half of your PCs performance. It's probably not written in america anyways. Probably from India
Windows Defender works great and gets good reviews even from Windows haters. But you're right, it was probably written in India, or at least by H1B Indians in Redmond...
Beyond the paranoia, shouldn't American strive to buy American if there is an available competing product? I'm not "flag waving", but it does seem like at least one way to contribute to the American economy in some way.
Agenda 21 is a non-binding, voluntarily implemented action plan of the United Nations with regard to sustainable development. It is a product of the Earth Summit (UN Conference on Environment and Development) held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992. It is an action agenda for the UN, other multilateral organizations, and individual governments around the world that can be executed at local, national, and global levels.
So, I'm really not seeing the connection unless you are saying that regulating drones is some "evil" United Nations secret plan for World Domination...
I suspect that Russia's growing use of "cyber war" tactics against its enemies will eventually backfire in the political arena. They really can't expect that governments, both friend and foe, will not start to lean on them in a more forceful way. I think and all-out âoecyber warâ between a growing number of countries would be very very very bad for everyone.

In the end, perhaps it was a good thing.

Is this purely an educational thing at this point, or is there any other uses?

Harping on spelling erors is the sign of an unsecure moron...

the audio cable, .05 of a meter is the same price as 3 meters!!!
Add the connector to update price.
Who? Wait, let me ask ky 13 year old daughter....

Hell, you can even read your Best Buy spam from 1996 if you are so inclined.
Pine has an export command?
It should be noted that the judgement Elsvier won was a default judgement because SciHub didn't appear... because they aren't a US entity.
Neither Elsevier nor SciHub are US entities.
It's annoying that non-US entities are trolling each other in the US legal system.
Perhaps they know that only in the US courts will they get a favorable ruling in the tens of millions of dollars.
Is this really the kind of stuff research grants are spent on? Can I get a grant to study the correlation between picking one's nose and eating it?
Just as I understand China not wanting to take MS at it's word ...
Hah! I get it, MS Word!

The same argument then applied to every country who buys anything FROM the USA.
I'm talking about sales to the Federal Government. Private entities can buy from whoever they like within the law.
OK, this story in not about pornography, is it... Slightly disappointed.

Agenda 21 mumble mumble.
OK... From The Wikipedia:
Agenda 21 is a non-binding, voluntarily implemented action plan of the United Nations with regard to sustainable development. It is a product of the Earth Summit (UN Conference on Environment and Development) held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992. It is an action agenda for the UN, other multilateral organizations, and individual governments around the world that can be executed at local, national, and global levels.

This is in the manual. There MUST be a certain number of Dips to maintain Slashdot's street cred.
What is the respomse from commercial xert businesses about Let's Encrypt?
I'm not sure that one of these certs is any better than a self-signed cert...
You can still buy the Dead Tree format at Amazon.
Only my opinion, but I really dislike this ter, "cyberweapon". Actually, anything with "cyber" other than "cybersex" sets me off a bit...
