“We don’t need to be searching for viruses that may never interact with man. And it’s worse than that.

Quote III

But we knew we were the best, not because of officers mouthing endless clichés about “lethality” and “readiness” but because we knew what we could do. We need that winning attitude back. We need our military to earn once again the respect of the American people such that young Americans are ready to serve in adequate numbers. Kurt Schlichter

I might be "old fashioned". But my house works, even if it isn't Smart.

Earlier this month, Amazon locked a man out of his account, disrupting his extensive smart home system. The suspension was driven by a delivery driver who claimed the man used a racial slur through his automated doorbell system. The only problem is that the man captured the entire interaction on his security system — the communication to the worker was an automated greeting of, “Excuse me, can I help you?”
