But... why? I am not a criminal and no one but me should ever be able to access my device.

Not even necessary. You could do keyword recognition on the device itself, pushing a list of keyword<->waveform maps, and sending an indicator when they're recognized.

Google seems to halfass a lot of their products. I really had expected it would at least be live in the Bay Area right now. It's not like Google doesn't have the money.

From a certain perspective I agree, and though I am a free market capitalist to my core, the free market doesn't preclude an organization behaving in a communist fashion; the free market simply doesn't require it. I very much encourage things like this.

If startups were making progress this slow on things like self-driving cars, we'd be very underwhelmed. At this rate, we'll all be dead before the majority of cancer treatments are successful.

Well, it's because our government published official diet recommendations (look up the Food Pyramid) and told us we should be eating more grains than absolutely anything else. Science on sugar has been repressed in our country, and the corn industry has exerted pressure in various ways to put corn syrup into absolutely everything. When I grew up, everything I had ever learned told me it was normal and healthy. I have more recently learned to avoid it.

It sounds like something I'd name my dog. I don't like Jenkins, either. Clearly it's just personal taste, but I prefer either completely made up names, or names of inanimate objects. I think Rust is great, for example. I don't like "Travis". This is all just my own, subjective, personal opinion though. I apologize if my comment came off harshly.

What you just said is far more creepy than "S3XY".
