@skyler Amazon limiting the vocabulary to a small set of things really helps cut down the error rate, but I still manage to have it mis-hear me quite a lot. Also many tasks are too complicated to do by voice, and are easier done with a good physical interface. I am excited to be able to try out living with a voice interface for a while though!

@davidmead Yeah the @ifttt channel is disappointingly limited and leads to hacks like that. I'm sure more apps will develop integrations for it soon tho. In the mean time, with the SDK it's possible to make arbitrary commands for it which is pretty neat!

@skyler @jburrows I am very skeptical of voice interfaces in general, but for the limited set of things I've used it for, it's quite nice.

@smwat get pre-check at the same time and everything is so much more pleasant

@smwat absolutely yes

@nxd4n.nixekinder.be Yeah that sounds like Known doesn't support `like-of` Micropub posts.

@nxD4n @withknown What's wrong? Feel free to open issues here https://github.com/aaronpk/Quill/issues

@diplix Sure enough! Works on my phone too! I wonder how they pulled that off.

@ericito ahhh this is great! Which hardware? It used to work in airplane mode on the iPhone 4 because it was a physically separate GPS chip. With the 4S they moved to a GPS chip that was part of the GSM chip, which is why airplane mode also disabled GPS. #iOS

@janl @WeldPond oh, *that* kind of privilege ;-)

@kylewmahan Sweet! You should try using JWT for generating the auth codes, so that you don't need to store anything! Basically you generate a signed string with all of the data you need (user, scope, expiration, etc), and that is the auth code. That way you can get the data from the auth code without needing to look anything up in the database. Check out how my token endpoint does it:

@maxogden Here's a web version with walking and driving times! http://arcg.is/1KzpHgz

@pmhobson @maxogden yes! so cool!

@akalsey nope, moved any state needed to the wire, encrypted strings passed around by the user so that any backend server can handle it
