that's interesting, but I think the problem is most people aren't going to know they're being tracked and so wont try to modify their gait

there are other interesting biometric signatures I've seen

I did a proof of concept keystroke biometric tool in school, this is the gist of the concept
mouse movement and clicks can be used as a signature as well
any input device could work
eye-tracking is another useful one, it pairs well with front-facing cameras on phones
there are all kinds of things to play with, just think of creative ways to signature people

Some psychologists & psychiatrists are currently looking into using phone keyboard data (eg type speed, word usage, etc) to predict mood swings of people with bipolar disorder.

Looking forward to Swype et al. selling that data to insurance companies.

tbh watching people playing online slots seems less bad/dumb than playing them yourself

Gambling stuff is big money in video games now (huge in sports games) so letting the biggest game streaming service promote straight up slot machines is some slippery slope stuff.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

That's completely loving insane but I don't doubt they'd do that for a second.

do you trust amazon-made electronics, such as the echo, to not relay every word you say back to Amazon corporate HQ to be picked apart by marketers?

like, if you do a Google search you'll probably get what you were looking for. the reason Google sucks is because their stance on privacy and data collection, not because of the quality of their services

About right. Not that beta, but a broader switch to just not sharing their technology and crushing unprofitable things

google's also gotten more and more sucky as targeted search gets a higher algorithmic weight

like, legit can't get second opinions on tech questions these days without the porn window dance because it decides the first one you click must be what you trust and want to see

also tons of "did you mean 'foo bar' i think you meant 'foo bar' gonna show you 'foo bar'" when you search 'foo not bar'

works in english, does not work at all in languages where "not" is a verb conjugation rather than a separate word

e: like, to be clearer, in japanese or something searching something like "controller disconnected" will get you results for "controller connected" half the time

that was always the intention of making things connected
