I think the most important part of this post was " it’s that not knowing where to start is incredibly intimidating"

I am seeing this today in my current job. I gave a young intern a task to do and 40 minutes later I asked him how was he doing. He responded with a bemused look - "I dont know where to start" My advice was was to think about the task and just start. Start regardless and don't think if its a bad start or not as it will be improved.

No doubt this is amazing. But a question strikes me... why is a military organisation funding this research? By their very nature, are they not in the business of disabling enemies (a.k.a people)?

Just strikes me as odd but I can see the potential of weaponizing this technology.

I should be crystal clear. To the point of informing you when it happens and for what purpose. After all it is yours apparently. Alas.. we do not live in a perfect world.

The bottom line is don't be stupid and assume private corporations with shareholders interests (money) at the heart of their activity, will not snoop.

If you do not want others looking at your stuff, put in a container which you actually own or can at least put a big lock on.
