Yep and Google to a bigger extent.

Street View wifi data.

This is a great business move, the children probably have no option but to provide their personal information to Google.

It was doing an update check apparently, which a lot of software does. I bet anything in the same class as ZoneAlarm phones home.

What are the odds of memory errors causing hard disk corruption / boot failure?

The research isn't conclusive. The research about stress, blood pressure and circulation is much more so.

Here are some assumptions I've made that make me think being cold does increase the chance of illness:

• Feeling cold increases stress. ⇒ Stress weakens the immune system.

• Being cold expends energy. ⇒ Fighting a virus requires energy.

• Being cold increases blood pressure. ⇒ High blood pressure is not conductive to good health.

• The cold reduces circulation. ⇒ Reduced circulation is detrimental to health.

Can someone explain how the first chatbot was any better than an interactive form?

The power of the monopoly to crush competitors and remove user choice.

Conversations works fine without draining the battery so I don't see why Signal should.

More people should know about Yalp! Awesome.

I'm one of these lucky 10.

Thanks for sharing this. I've done a similar thing to help study for exams except with pattern matching instead of nltk. I'm looking forward to understanding the natural language part.

It's very buggy though... I get more invalid questions than good ones, haha

Fixed it for me too, thanks. How did you debug the issue?

I could switch to Chrome but I have Firefox set up already and know how it works.

I sincerely hate the Firefox developers for breaking addons constantly and now making it so I can't even edit addons without a painful signing process.

Addons in Firefox seemed more powerful in the past but I'm confident WebExtensions will remove this advantage.

Google can use its monopoly to accomplish almost anything!

Why don't you have the same results as Google? For example some searches will return nothing in Startpage but a few results in Google. Are they intentionally limiting the quality of the feed they provide?

It first detects its wake word using pocketsphinx on around the last two seconds of audio. Audio older than two seconds is discarded. After detecting its wakeword it begins recording until when it thinks the user has finished speaking.

I believe the Poketsphinx part is offline so only commands would be delivered to Google.

Like "chrome" in the browser space.

Don't fix what isn't broken.

I think it gets you views.

Don't give it to the people coming in?

> in order to produce something you'll need to pay someone a lot more

At some point it becomes worth automating the work and that means no rising pay and fewer humans having to do jobs they dislike.

I bet winning in a lottery feels a lot different to receiving your regular allowance the same as everyone else. I think this would affect behaviour.

Of course this "test" will fail, they're giving it to a group of people who already have a specific state of employment. It won't be seen as a safety net to follow their ambition because of its temporary, non-universal nature. It might make sense for them to hoard the cash until the test is over or spend it lavishly as a temporary reprieve from poverty.

I hope this won't create material to make a case against basic income in future.

It made me laugh the way the guide turns into an Amazon shopping list. I started finding it hard to trust at that point. I wish you'd quote more studies.

What's PH and DN?

I'm hopeful we'll abandon Python 3 instead.

Surely Google detects all the anomalies and refuses to pay? The referrers would probably be suspicious and the fact it's apparently coming from the official google.com site/results page and not from wherever the bot masters are pretending the traffic is coming from.

That was just the carrier, hiding the steganographic payload.
