Has there been a Kickstarter campaign to fund an album of folksy music for use in Kickstarter videos?

The result of conditioning from playing Portal?

Your college notes sound similar to something I did with the mandatory "notes from assigned reading" I did in an Electronics class. Instead of outlining what the text was saying, like a nested bullet point list, with figures only rarely. I would draw out the graphs and figures in the assigned reading section, nice and big. Then around the figure/graph (like in a spray diagram) I would put notes from the text where they were relevant (usually in a uml, folded corner, box). Sometimes I would combine a couple of the figure/graphs or redraw a section of them more than once, or expand some part out larger, but largely (after I noticed what I was doing and made it intentional) each figure/graph in the reading was a page of "illuminated" picture notes, and that is all the notes were or needed.

Are "autoimmune disorders" another label for a class of failures of this search and respond system?

Under this proposal, would the prediction be that someone who has a "peanut butter allergy" could eat peanut butter made under special conditions (cleanroomesque greenhouse environment, lots of TLC to the plants, and with screening to ensure that no molds were impacting the final product) without having the reaction?

Warning, dirty, dirty, quick hack idea ahead... to use it for voice interface alone with all thinking and actions done by some other computer or machine(s). Encode commands for the other computer as sound files which that computer can listen for. Using just a few, easy to bandpass-filter tones in the sound files, one can encode a great many commands that are easy for the actual automation machine(s) to distinguish. (One bit of beauty here to this hack is that, it doesn't even have to be a single automation computer hooked to everything, little embedded systems throughout the house can each listen for just the commands they need to worry about.)

Then one says "Echo, play 'Start my heating'". The Echo plays what it thinks is a short song named 'Start my heating' by that band "My Hacked Home Controls" which you seem to like so much, which goes "beep beep boop whisle click", and the other machine(s) hears that easy to interpret command and does what you want. If you need information back, have the(a) machine put that information into a "Results" sound file and add/overwrite it to the command/music library which the Echo can see and play from, then tell the Echo to play that file for you to hear. You say, "Echo play 'Backups Status'" and it plays the voice you assigned to your backup monitor telling you whatever.

Basically, the Echo becomes a translation droid between you and the computer(s) that you have deeper/more control of. And as a bonus, depending on how you encode the commands into sounds, you might be able to learn some of the more common whistle sequences from your translation droid, and just do them yourself.

Look, if your uncle's boss doesn't have anything to hide, you have nothing to fear.

Alternate version: If you aren't three or fewer connections away from anyone with something to hide, you have nothing to fear.

Indeed. In this era of jury pools being trained by forensic procedural shows to want nice animations reconstructing everything, it is very good for us all to hear how hard it can be to reconstruct the past. Even on things that seem like they should be easily knowable, like "was there a pay phone near the Best Buy or not?"

Targeting something stationary at a location known well in advance would be even easier; like say, a podium at an outdoor speaking event. I wonder what speed an inverted drone, accelerating toward the ground, can get up to while controlling its impact location to within a foot. Might be that adding an explosive is largely superfluous in that situation too.

What is the going CPM rate for an extremely low CTR user base these days? Between what little I know of that and my browsing rate, seems to me like I could set a purchasing limit of $100/year for bidding on my own eyes, probably win enough to almost never see anything but my own small/short "be a good person" reminder/ad on any of the Google ad networks that do CPM bidding, and still not hit the limit each year.

The first thing I usually think when I start a video call with someone is "is there some way I can automatically block the view of that person's eyes and half of their facial expression, that would make this communication experience go much smoother".

While it is scanning me, can it also go ahead send a copy of the skin coloring to a dermatologist so they can diff it against the last scan or whatever, so as to check for anything I should be worried about?

When will I be able to pay Google and other ad-sources to weight the targeting algorithms toward the virtues I want, not just the virtues and vices others can profit from? When are my ethics going to be allowed a seat at the negotiating table for purchases of my attention?

Some emotive content can get lost in the speed-up too, imho. A caring tone and cadence can turn into blunt sarcasm at x1.3 and above. I notice it interview shows like Fresh Air.
