So many words yet so little content. Is there some sort of word minimum for posting? This article is 95% bloat.

Honesty you having that mind set will make it impossible to get the 4 minute mile, but it is possible for someone with the motivation.

Agreed. Git int is awesome. I would just like them to support more advanced git functions.

There is, it just isn't free. Lawfirms pay mountains of money for up to date 'google for laws'. At least in the U.S.

Really!? Source on this?

Yes, and Monaco is alive in VSTS(Team Services) and Azure's web app IDE. :) Well, VSO(VS Online) was used internally by MS way before VSCode was an idea.

I'm in the same situation! It seems to be triggered by temperature change, but not sure.

Btw Amazon has refused to give a clear answer about how much is actually being recorded. Look at the top comment in this thread.

That's exactly what Amazon would like there users to think. How do you think he wake work is detected? It MUST be listening to some sort of ambient audio, wether that is recorded or kept in anyway, only Amazon would know.

Amazon doesn't use telepathy. You can inspect the network traffic on your router and the contents of its local storage.

But that won't give you the whole story. They could batch up the network traffic to send later, or push an update that changes how much they listen after your traffic monitoring is done.

>They could batch up the network traffic to send later,

I was thinking that too, but realistically, someone would eventually discover this (consider how much outbound traffic would have to go at once in order to store that much audio).

>push an update that changes how much they listen after your traffic monitoring is done.

Again, someone would eventually discover this. It wouldn't be hard to constantly monitor network traffic for noticeable discrepancies in outbound activity.

Furthermore, a discovery like this would not go overlooked by the general public. Amazon would be doing a serious disservice to their reputation by going about extracting the audio in such a mischievous manner.

I can't say I agree. How long did it take for us to figure out that certain camera's were sending photos back to china? or that other apps do things that seem malicious. Many people watch those kinds of stats, but the vast majority of them don't.

Additionally, just because they have it always recorind for one person, doesn't mean they have the same software running for everyone else.

The wake word is detected by the hardware. There's a reason why there are just 3 (Alexa, Amazon, Echo).

PS I'd love to call mine 'Computer' or 'Hal'.

If you professors could actaully solve that problem efficiently they'd be billionaires.
