I'd imagine the incentive is more points for the speech recognition model. The race is for who can handle completely unstructured speech best, and the field is vast at this stage.

True and I totally agree that the simplest solution is generally the best and that not ever "problem" needs a technologically complex solution. Nothing worse than entering a "smart home" and being told not to use the lig

Yeah, that's one quirk I wish didn't exist. If I could make the Echo work as a speakerphone of sorts, that'd be amazing. That's one of my two asks (ability to get access to the microphone), the other being server-side in

Those are the two biggest differences, for sure. All the big players have done a good job of speech to text (at least for USA English—saw an Englishman have to break into his best John Wayne impression for an on-stage demonstration about a

In this case, the fixed location plus the far field mic are great. When she's alone, she spends all of her time in her home. She lives in a pretty small place which means she can basically ask to start a phone call from anywhere and sh

It's currently unpublished because there is an associated cost (Twilio for making the call) and it's not OSS because 1) needs cleaning, 2) was thinking of building a public service out of it. That said, that's enough of a kic

Writing a bit about the Echo has been on my todo list but this article touches on a lot of points I was thinking about. I got it thinking it would be a bit of a gimmick—and to an extent, it still is at times. But, as the author found, it ha

This is extremely misleading. The (beta) Venmo API is no longer accepting new user sign ups. It will continue to work for existing users. This is because Pay with Venmo is already available through Braintree (who acquired Venmo): https:&#x

Precisely. Anecdotal, I know, however I have a family member that shows up on the site. His number is low—less than a couple of hundred dollars—but I asked him about it when I first heard of the site from Last Week Tonight. His response was

For what it's worth, they already have something similar (for 3D-touch enabled models). Surprisingly, few 6S owners I know are aware of this feature. http://9to5mac.com/2015/09/23/best-iphone-6s-feature-3

Hey Joe. Would love to better understand the problems you've been having. Mind firing off an issue to discuss?

You're not necessarily wrong (that a ton of modules will be downloaded) but there are two points worth mentioning. 1) you can install from cache with something like: npm install --cache-min 9999999 2) npm's infrastructure h

Fair point. To be clear, I take nothing away from what you've done here: More tooling options are rarely—if ever—a bad thing and your presentation of riot is beautiful and clear, very well executed.

Having the confidence to release your projects as open-source is excellent and something I wish more people had. However—by your own description—HN is a place where you solicit feedback but can't be bothered to extend the same courtesy

An aside but I became curious when riot was mentioned two days in a row, first thing in the east-coast morning, submitted by the same author. While self-promotion is a skill, the submitter's comment and submission history is painfully

That would make tokens valid across different applications that share a session. A compromise of one application would then jeopardize all your applications. Just reduces the risk surface a bit.

Not necessarily. CSRF tokens don't have to be unique per request. That's useful for things like preventing double submissions, ensuring order, or invalidating requests that are still in an active session but have timed out. Howeve
