@davidmead It looks like you're sending https for the target but your site links to my http URL. I should probably fix this to accept it regardless of the mismatch, but that's the reason.

Avoiding The Uncanny Valley of User Interface (blog.codinghorror.com)
one of the great strengths of web applications is that they aren't bound by the crusty old conventions of desktop applications. They're free to do things differently -- and hopefully better. Web applications should play to their strengths, instead of attempting to clone desktop applications.

Is it just me or is the author using the term "Uncanny Valley" completely wrong? Ignoring the silly Pixar story, I still don't understand how voice recognition (or more accurately, speech recognition) is currently in the uncanny valley.
You know when your GPS says "recalculating" in a condescending voice? That's the uncanny valley of text-to-speech. -

and she keeps saying “Recalculating” in this really judgey, condescending way

They started sending random pictures back! :-)

@oscargodson @aaronpk That’s demonstrably false and I move to strike.
@holman @oscargodson I haven't actually heard of the term being used like that. I've only heard it in this context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley -

@aaronpk @oscargodson You can’t trust things you read on the Internet, though.
