I think Google Now will do the last one for you already (location based reminders). I use it for reminding myself about things when I get to work or home. Just say "Okay google remind me to <thing>" and then there's a location option for when.
I don't own a watch, but I think they probably implement this feature.
I heard during AI Class (6.034 w/Patrick Winston) that the same experiment was repeated with adults but they had to say some pre-determined words the whole time, and they regressed back to the level of pre-6 year olds.
Speech uses the same part of the brain as thought apparently, so making someone say words prevents them from thinking during that time.

Only slightly related, but this is why I listen to audiobooks every night to fall to sleep. If I'm listening to someone else, I almost literally can't "think" so my brain chatter is basically eradicated and I fall asleep. I know it's not the same for everyone, but I basically turn into a mindless automaton if I'm actively listening to someone else as I'm an extremely verbal thinker.
This must be why I find it so difficult to talk to people about important things. If you explain something to me verbally, I will not get it. I will hear you, and I will listen intently, and I will have no idea what you just said.
Not that I wouldn't know what you said, but I won't have a deep understanding, I won't be able to use what you said to get work done. This is especially bad with phone conversations.
But if you write it down, then we're talking. I can digest written stuff extremely well.
I'm a current undergrad at MIT and I still see it (and use Emacs myself). Vim and Sublime are more popular though. Vim and Sublime are probably around equal, followed by Emacs.
The areas that have been searched are very close to where they lost contact though. I would have thought they'd be looking farther away with this information.
Unity isn't exactly "open," it's actually closed source which can be a big pain if something goes wrong. Compared to traditional game development where usually you have access to all the source it is a big pain (for me at least).
All of them? It's unheard of at a AAA development level to sell an engine without full source access; CryENGINE, Unreal, iD Tech, and Gamebryo all offer full source licenses, to name a few examples.
Any 3rd party engine used by a AAA game will have full source. Unreal Engine, Crytek, Source, etc. Sometimes those engines have cheap, no-source indie targeted licenses but the high end games paying the high price tag has source.
I'm guessing the number of people that can afford to buy a Tesla in NJ and can't make it to NY to get it is very small - for the current slate of Tesla cars.
Many of these are the sites sending users generated passwords which doesn't necessarily indicate that the passwords are stored in the database as plain text. It's reasonable that the passwords are generated, the email is sent with the password, then the password is hashed and stored in the database, and the plain text version deleted.
I can however see lots of application in various pattern analysis techniques based on machine learning. There's lots of places in those that a bit of fuzz won't really matter, at least for first pass filtering.
Similarly voice recognition would probably have to deal with far larger errors from the transmission and capture of sound anyway.
Just because it's not good for decryption, doesn't mean it isn't good for the overall set of NSA operations.
For floating point operations sure, but if I understand it correctly it could also provide a speed advantage to other operations. It means 1% of the operations will be wrong, but what does that matter when it allows you to search 10,000 more keys. Perhaps you could get even more speed up with specialized hardware for decryption, and then buy rooms full of them.
I still see a problem with his testing in that he might be connecting to a server in a different area which is less congested when he connects through his school's VPN.
A proper conclusive test would ensure connection to the same Netflix IP somehow over a VPN as his home connection.
I live in the same town as the author. Comcast is not my ISP but is the ISP for several of my friends, including friends whom I stayed with for about six weeks recently when I was (for the most part) incapacitated. I can't be 100% certain (I'm going from memory) but I'm almost positive that Netflix traffic did come from the same facility that the author is hitting when connected to the school's VPN. (If it wasn't 2:33 a.m. I'd go verify.)
As I mentioned in another comment, however, the .edu is almost certainly better connected to this facility than Comcast is.
They already paid back some people at 20%, so it's impossible for them to pay you back now. They are in 'debt,' even if they just gave coins back at 1:1 they can't repay.
