[23:23:38] <exec> 08└─No, really, it doesn't. I (and many others) have carefully watched the network traffic from the device. Until it hears (or thinks it hears) the trigger word (presently, user's preset choice of Alexa, Computer, Echo, or Amazon), it doesn't send along what it hears.

Yes, you should be able to retrieve an executable, also being required to complete a dialogue to run it. No one should have their machine executing arbitrary code from the net. Yet, modern browsers do just that until...

[23:24:59] <exec> 08└─This represents a market failure as people have to have some source of food and shelter. The US lacks a comprehensive set of programs to ensure that citizens have access to at least the bare necessities which puts many people in a position where they have to work for minimum wage if there aren't job...

If the tax rates for the richest were dependent upon the living conditions of the poorest, you'd see very quickly that there'd be no homeless or working poor left. They'd have all have comfo...
