There are only ~11 states that require all-party consent to record, and most of the states state that the law only applies to telephone/wire recordings. On top of that, the states who are all-party consent generally specify that public conversations are not protected under the law.


Not to mention he wouldn't necessarily be recording, just logging time where the amplitude of the signal was over a certain threshold.


I'm disappointed that they didn't include invoicing through the Connect API. This is my primary method of billing, and it would be great to be able to integrate this into other services.


Hi - I'm the engineering manager of the team and thanks for the suggestion and feedback. We appreciate it because feedback guides our roadmap (and hiring, p.s. we are hiring!) - keep it coming (-: - Jonathan Wolter, Engineering Manager Square Developer Platform


What are your plans to support other browsers? I would definitely jump ship from Pocket if I had either a bookmarklet or a Safari extension; the notion of dragging the link to a Dropbox folder feels a little too clunky.


We plan to create a Safari extension as soon as possible and a Firefox one just after that. The first release of Linkpack was just an MVP, so we will definitely add support for more browsers as we continue the development!


Fantastic, I'll keep an eye out for when that happens. Congratulations on shipping!


Thanks! :)


You could use OpenWeatherMap's API. Something like this is pure (remove the `&units=imperial` if you prefer Celsius):

    curl -s "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?zip=$(curl -s ipinfo.io/postal),us&appid=2de143494c0b295cca9337e1e96b00e0&units=imperial" \
      | sed -e 's/\(.*\)temp":\([0-9.]*\),\(.*\)/\2/'
or you could replace the `sed` pipe with a call to `jq`:

    curl really_long_url | jq '.main.temp'


> remove the `&units=imperial` if you prefer Celsius

That would get you Kelvin, use `&units=metric` for Celsius


Good call! I completely forgot the default units were in Kelvin, and not Celsius.


Happy New Year!


So glad to see this hit 1.0. VueJS has, by far, exceeded my expectations in a JS framework. Certainly faster, and lighter, than any other framework that I could find. Great job Evan!


I feel like trying to convince people to use the term 'automaton', when referring to devices that look similar to humans but are non-biological, is a feeble venture. The term 'robot' is just so ingrained in our society to describe a humanoid-like piece of hardware...


Isn't the word 'Android' already invented for that class or organism?


They could be used interchangeably, 'automaton' predates 'android' by a margin, primarily because an 'automaton' doesn't necessarily have to be an electronic device. It could be a water-powered wooden nutcracker. So yes, 'android' is probably the best candidate to describe the 'robots' that the author is referring to.


A roomba is an automaton, but not an android.

Automaton refers to acting on it's own. Android literally means humanlike. Electronics have no bearing on either.
