    @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.

    @davidmead Great work! It sounds like you should send a pull request for your changes to the Known plugin! I bet many others would benefit from the changes too! #indieweb

    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.

    @oscargodson @aaronpk That’s demonstrably false and I move to strike.
    Aaron Parecki
    @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 I don’t think that’s true.
    Aaron Parecki
    @holman It's from a 1970 paper by a Japanese roboticist http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/humanoids/an-uncanny-mind-masahiro-mori-on-the-uncanny-valley http://web.archive.org/web/20110313073609/http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fl20110310jk.html

    @aaronpk It was initially disclosed in Ed Catmull’s “Creativity, Inc.”
    Aaron Parecki
    @holman but the concept of the uncanny valley is way older than that

    We’ve reached the Uncanny Valley, and everyone except these fucking computers knows what I’m talking about.

    @holman While I agree with your points, that's not really the meaning of "uncanny valley." And what's with the Pixar story??

    @aaronpk Agreed. Desktop apps that try to update on launch are the worst. I'm interested in finding gentler update notification styles.
    Aaron Parecki
    @maxticket Maybe an indicator that a new version is available or that a new feature was launched rather than actually interrupting the app

    @aaronpk Is there a more effective, less intrusive way you'd prefer? Do you know of any examples?
    Aaron Parecki
    @maxticket I think the problem is that I often don't open an app until I need it, so anything that gets in the way of me doing the thing is annoying.

    @tommorris Wow, sorry to hear about all your frustration! I've been using the Eye-Fi Pro for years, but only as a way to automatically upload JPGs to Flickr. I use a normal SD card for RAW shooting.

    @aaronpk Have you tried a different dentist? Not saying your dentist isn’t right, but a second opinion might help?
    Aaron Parecki
    @Wraithan Problem is I actually like these ones which is saying a lot because I normally hate dentists.

    @notenoughneon @kylewm I think because not many people are building readers right now. There isn't a lot of need for PuSH until you're consuming feeds! Superfeedr has a pretty simple walkthrough of setting it up: http://pubsubhubbub.superfeedr.com/

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
