Corollary...if you're experiencing >5% nastiness, you're in the wrong room or its you, not them
Shouldn't there be two minute hands if you add LA and India (PST and IST)? The minutes are offset by 30 mins in this scenario.

The requirement to re-verify the license if likely from the content owner and not Google. Cappy experience nonetheless.
I believe the coverage has been great however, it's not going to change your heating bill next month.

Plus everyone's too busy reading and writing about what Elon did today so you basically get the news that generates the most clicks these days...

Re:Ask HN: What should I use instead of Heroku? on Saturday May 07, 2022 @10:19AM (#31294690)
You may want to consider vanilla kubernetes and https://codezero.io for the development part of the SDLC. Also, here are some considerations when taking a platform based vs tools set based approach to the whole SDLC https://blog.codezero.io/5-myths-of-kubernetes/
Re:5 Myths of Kubernetes on Wednesday April 20, 2022 @01:59PM (#31100635)
Today, we share some of our learnings from having used Kubernetes for a few years now and how organizations can navigate some of the preconceived notions out there. Would appreciate your thoughts.
Re:The unsustainable growth of the container ship industry on Thursday February 03, 2022 @11:43AM (#30194740)
We can solve the challenges with modern development of containerized applications in Kubernetes at https://codezero.io, greatly eliminating the hidden cost. Alas, physical containers - that's a hardware problem....
Re:Ask HN: What do you do with your older hardware? on Monday January 03, 2022 @01:16PM (#29784102)
I generally take old Macs to the Apple Store. They remove the drive and recycle the rest of the hardware.
Agreed. Doesn't anyone go out in their neighbourhood anymore. What's with wanting everything to come to you. I like going out and know the names of the bar managers and store staff at the places I shop....

Re:Bye, MongoDB. Hello, Cloudant on Thursday December 06, 2012 @06:17PM (#4884437)
We looked at MongoDB for our back end at http://moj.io and preferred CouchDB. It's currently a toss up between Iriscouch and Cloudant. Both seem like great offerings. We are particularly interested in the ability to sync to CouchDB on iOS/Android/Windows Phone in the future.

Does anyone prefer one service over the other?

Hi charlesfracchia, Nobody wants their driving information openly available to the world - neither do we so yes, we have thought about security.

The OBD protocols do not address security and have been hacked but the moj.io does not expose the OBD protocols to the Internet. moj.io communicates to the moj.io cloud over an encrypted VPN.

When you receive a moj.io, you have to pair it to your moj.io account. To do this, you require the serial number of the device and a secret PIN (which you can change and never share). No one has access to your data unless you explicitly grant access (e.g. service garage, insurance company, family member etc.). You also see who is checking you out (once you grant them access)

Re:Moj.io: Connect your car to the world around you on Friday November 30, 2012 @12:31AM (#4852003)
Because of licensing and other issues, we aren't certain yet if we can make the firmware of the mojio open source. You can totally write your own apps against our cloud api. This is to abstract away vehicle idiosyncrasies from app developers. That said, we do want more savvy OBD experts to contribute to mojio.

As for your data, you can wipe your data from the mojio servers at any time. Only you can see the data and choose which apps get to see it.

We are indeed. We intend to offer multiple colors and will allow users to choose a color if we exceed 5000 units.
Re:Moj.io: Connect your car to the world around you on Friday November 30, 2012 @12:07AM (#4851946)
mojio monitors your vehicle battery level and ignition state. It will go into a deep sleep state with only critical functions on (e.g. theft monitoring) if the vehicle is not doing much. If the car battery hits some critical level, it will send you an alert and shut itself off.

Great comments everyone. We agonized about bluetooth. If we can get bluetooth into the mojio without affecting the delivery dates, we intend to include it in the current version - no promises right now though. That way, people have the option to go without a data plan as needed. Also, there's no data plan lock in to mojio so we are looking for ways where people can either add a device to their existing cellular plan or just pay for months where they need it. We are also exploring ways to offset data plan costs. If we can get a sufficient user base, we all get to enjoy the economies of scale.
