Same, I got Alexa (the first one with a good speaker) when attended a sales event of another company. I set it up, but after seeing its network activity even when no one was home I shut it down and didn't use it again.

I don't understand why people don't feel weirded out by having an always on listening device.

Musk on the other hand already experiments on adding ideology and use such bots (makes as regular users) on social media.

But they do have shopping carts like Aldi.

Microsoft said this, but this likely applies to AWS and GCP too.

The thing is that you normally don't release details of pending investigation, but trump and Republicans were riding on this promise and now that they actually have the power they looking for excuses "files don't exist", "files were created by Democrats", "why you even talk about files?"

It is clear that trump doesn't care about integrity of the investigation (given that people involved in it were fired I think effectively it is stopped) but that he is in those files.

Because you don't publish details of investigation. You publish indictments once investigation is done. That's essentially weaponization of DOJ.

Republicans were promising to release (and suggesting Democrats are on it). Now as they have the power, they refuse. Claim the files don't exist then that they are fake, then they are boring.

At this point it is very clear that trump is in them.

I learned that somebody already did such thing: http://stopice.net/ and it existed before this app even.

stopice.net? Yeah that looks like much safer alternative to iceblock

I think it might be simpler.

All the app could do is to report location of the user to ICE.

While people might be interested to show up to ICE raids, immigrants might also want it to know places to say away from.

Since the app is on the phone the location can be tied to the phone number and since they are going after documented immigrants they might have phone numbers from their applications.

I think this should be a mobile website instead of an app is the goal was privacy.

The problem with phone apps is that they already have access to personally identifiable information.

I would much prefer this was a mobile friendly website.

Which is ironic, because another (less spoken) reason of NATO and building the army is to scare the opponent so it will think it is not worth to attack.

The mere fact of taco saying that the US won't help in case of attack from Russia increased chances of a war.

They might not even have that much time
