Everyone knows his number anyways.... 424242424242....

Marty was an early engineer at Pinterest and went on to become the CTO at Reddit, Inc.

Marty has had some amazing experiences building and scaling products that are household names, and he shares his journey in Why I Joined CodeZero's Advisory Board:

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...

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/

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.

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....

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....

Provisioners source code is available at https://github.com/c6o/provisioners. Our docs are at https://docs.codezero.io.

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?

At the Roundhouse Community Center? Yes that was me :)

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)

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.

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.
