Whether Siri actually stops listening or only stops responding remains an open question.

So would you say that is unjust, seeing the massive effects and repercussions of this on society as a whole? As a father of a young girl I’m very happy to see more attention on this by news media.

I thought we domesticated wolves (now dogs) after we had passed our nomad phase and were in our settlement phase (which we are still in now). I’m not certain, but I think the mammoth was already extinct at that time.
