on: Ask HN: Any way to measure how much I speak?
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.

on: Connect from Square
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.

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

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.

on: BitBar: put the output from any script/program in your Mac OS X Menu Bar
Good call! I completely forgot the default units were in Kelvin, and not Celsius.

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'

on: Vue.js 1.0.0
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!

on: The word ‘robot’ is meaningless
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.

on: The word ‘robot’ is meaningless
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...
