It's a nice idea, but opening an app to record each single change in activity will be a hard sell, even with the reminders (eventually they will annoy you).

I think that if it is more effort to enter something than it is to close/ignore it - then eventually it will get ignored.

I love tracking and I find the idea of this app awesome (because I have had the same idea). A small example I have personally is "Day One" app for OSX. It pops up on my screen once every 2-3 hours asking me what to do. 75% of the times I press cancel - imagine if instead of cancel there were a number of pre-sets I could fill the date in with. I would 100% press one of those. Quite easy to implement, not sure about it on a smartphone though.
Good Work. I'd love to see a comeback for own gameservers instead of things like matchmaking etc. I'll keep an eye on you for sure.
I'd be interested to know what the US public opinion was on diesel engines before the scandal.

British opinion on diesel was really positive and I know lots of people that purchased diesel engined vehicles when (to my knowledge) they were unsuitable for the type of driving those people were undertaking.

In Germany, people will not buy a diesel if they are mostly driving short trips. It is common knowledge (here) that the air filters on diesel engines need time (~15 minutes) to properly warm up to be able to burn off the soot in the filter. Therefore, only the traditional fleet cars who are driven by salesmen driving long stretches on the Autobahn tend to buy diesels.

Was this also the same in the US, because many of my friends that own diesels in the UK had never heard of this?
Maybe they're leveraging the recent outrage over Heroku/CISA?

Well, many oppose government intervention because they don't agree that it makes the market system our slave - any more than the government itself is.
Meh. I've already decided my next car won't be a diesel. I bought a 1.6dCi Nissan Qashqai in 2013 and that engine has only one advantage - ridiculously low fuel consumption. Seriously, my usage is usually around 5L/100km or less(56 UK MPG/47 US MPG). But - the engine is very noisy and rumbly, plus it takes forever to warm up in winter. Seriously, I drive on the motorway on my way to work and it's still a solid 10 minutes before any warm air starts to enter the cabin. For the temperature indicator to get to the middle, operational position, it's 20 minutes of driving. It's unacceptable. My partner has a small petrol powered car, and she is warm within a minute of starting it. The emissions scandal has only cemented my decision to not buy a diesel in the future.

> And currently, individuals are being misled (a tad bit ironic) by the state in the sense that we all "assume" that bad market actors are being punished, when in fact they aren't always.

> Additionally, people bought VW cars under the assumption that they were thoroughly regulated and tested by the government.

There are, in fact, but not enough. All legally available cars are thoroughly regulated and tested - that's why they don't explode on the road or poison people to death as they drive by. Every product out there is regulated against direct health hazards, and that's the only reason you can safely shop.

Also, the government did the testing for emissions, it's VW that cheated on them. You could question the quality of those tests but then again, if you know you'll have to test fraudsters, why don't just go ahead and arrest them instead of investing tons of resources in more fraud-proof tests? The government probably saved a lot of money trusting the companies to act in good faith. VW has just abused this trust, and it's entirely their fault.

> Fine, but those are failings of the state, not of the free-market or competition.

If those are failings of state not being strict enough, then let's state the corollary - that free market / competition are not saviours, but savage beasts that need to be controlled in order to put their power to good use.

> Ironically, discussions like these are what eventually drove me to consider non-state solutions to the problems around us. I looked around and was presented with really countless scenarios/problems that are "bad" or "unwanted", and the state not fixing it despite claims by them that it is a problem. E.g. car accidents/fatalities, 100+ years later, and still happening even in civilized countries.

I also had a similar turn towards non-state solutions, mostly because it's becoming evident that you couldn't design a system less capable of dealing with actual, serious issues than modern democracy. I looked briefly at private businesses for solutions and while they seem to be a much more efficient instrument than politics, the private sector is filled with even more corrupt people than there are in public. Which makes me both depressed and cheering for those few individuals and companies who honestly try to do some good.
Currently, the files are stored as a flat file list on the file system using their randomly generated token to create a [token].json and [token].binary file. The JSON file contains meta information, the .binary file is the actual file.

Using the default settings, you would get something like "./uploads/0b692a00635682fabc78b6a50655242c.binary" in the application directory.

I've already has plans on making it possible to change the interface, for instance not allowing direct download from the homepage. I could ament this with the feature to send email notifications to the system administrator upon successful file transfer. The combination of both would allow you to use YouTransfer.io as a public drop box for files. Does this sound about right to you?

If you read the book mentioned in the article it is not quite so brainwashy. I expect it doesn't make sense for a majority of workplaces as is, but it didn't sound like teal workplaces where bad places to work. In fact, it sounded like the sort of place I would love to work, but at the same time I knew that the majority of my coworkers would not fit in. The basic tenet as I understood it is that you can replace the structure of management with a structure of decision-making processes where decisions are taken at the lowest possible rung (where lowest means as close as possible to the work the decision impacts). It's not democracy, but it is self organized. It's a book worth reading if you want to reset your expectations on what corporate hierarchy must look like.

What does VW being foreign have to do with it? Are US companies inherently more trustworthy? You should ask "Why did the US government fail to properly test a car made by any company?"
Very few diesel cars in the US but an unhealthy amount of diesel pick-up trucks used as commuter vehicles.

Isn't the low fuel consumption + low diesel price the biggest point to buy a diesel fueled car?
It's frustrating to see another technology possibly go the way of nuclear for the sake of politics and optics, when the tools to remediate emissions exist. Granted emissions expenses for diesel are at first blush several times that of petrol engines, but a full comparison would include a) at least 25% greater carbon tax on petrol and b) gasoline particulate filter cost for complying with forthcoming PM2.5 regs for petrol engines, esp. the GDI engines so beloved on Audis.
This is very nice to see another contender in the PaaS arena, one that also uses the mechanisms Heroku put in place. What really remains to be seen, however, is the reliability of the service. Our production app has been on Heroku for over a year now and we've had very little issue with things, and there is certainly a lot that can go wrong in a complex environment.

Our experience is with unfiltered, sooty heavy vehicles emitting large visible clouds, due largely to trucking industry lobbying. For decades, this has been normal here. Just recently, CA passed actual emissions standards that apply to heavy diesels but exempt emergency vehicles.

Note that (a) European NOx emissions standards for diesel cars were made more than twice as strict in 2014, and (b) VW and perhaps other manufacturers were cheating American diesel emissions standards.

It’s not an outrageous leap to suspect they may also have been cheating the new European emissions standards. If those are properly enforced, diesel cars could be in trouble.

Indeed. Moreover, the fundamental glue of the society - the thing that enables a peaceful governance, whether democratic or not, and flourishing free trade is trust. Trust people have toward each other, trust they have in their companies and officials. Lying is an existential threat to society itself.

Many people are surprised by anti-vaccination movements, or anti-GMO and anti-nuclear crowds. One will say: "surely they must be stupid, they reject the science, the well-tested and replicated results of countless of studies". But they aren't, in fact, any more or less stupid than you and I. They had their trust in the system broken. They've seen enough shit pharma does to stop trusting doctors. They've witnessed enough scandals and have been victims of enough frauds to stop trusting the government or the big bio/tech businesses.

Those "anti-science" movements are only a symptom of the greater problem, of society losing trust in the authority. The trust that has been eroded by constant and countless lies. So yes, if you're a journalist or an editor who writes and publishes lies to "spice up the story", you're responsible. If you're a marketer or a salesman or a businessman who lies to people to get them to buy your product, you're responsible. If you're a scientist who manipulates results to get publications, you too are responsible. As much and as little as the system may have made you to do it, but you are responsible. Responsible for the blood and the deaths, and the fall of the civilization if it happens.
The version was: Angular 1.2.4

The problems in no particular order and what improved:

* need to mess with gulp, and npm and their interaction vs. simply having to deal with lein
* Dependency injection is a freaking mess to debug, and it lead to an incredible spaghetti code, clojure is quite clear about where which functions come from
* The split between service, view, controller, scripts, styles, filters, directives is adding to the nice noodle feeling of it, Om/cljs does not force a layout so it's possible to arrange things as works for you
* The dependency tree from npm was HUGE and included a bunch of unnecessary dependences which made it impossible to build the UI on our build servers so we had to include the 'compiled'/distribution results of it in the git repository. Lein projects split between development deps and production deps, so everything complies nicely and only what is needed for a release is included in it.
* The split between HTML/JS/in-html-code/in-js-html is a mess. With CLJS/Om we have all code and layout in s-expressions.
* 'Everything is a callback' is in my opinion a bad programming model, still some callbacks in CLJS but a lot less and the functional model of clojure makes it easier to deal with.
* Mutable state is a pain to deal with. While not entirely gone this is a lot less of a issue to deal with since it's exceptionally clear of what is mutable and what not, in most cases you only have to worry about function parameters that's it.
Because when you have a disease or disorder or whatever, and you see research being done on the organ that contains said disease or disorder, and said research is both expensive and very awesome, yet does not look like it is leading to a cure or an effective treatment, science just slowly gets ruined for you, and you eventually lose hope.
They brought them because you get much better mileage from diesel and remember the EU has much higher fuel taxes than the USA.

Additionally the tax system was adjusted to make diesel engined cars more appealing.

That's throwing out the baby with the bath water. Advertising serves a modicum of a public good, in that it's informative. If, say, I buy some fabric conditioner and quite like its effects but think it smells too intense, I might change brand. If I see an ad for the old brand saying 'now with a new and improved fragrance', that's genuinely useful information. Perhaps the problem I had with an otherwise satisfactory product is gone.

There's plenty of truly bad advertising out there and it definitely needs stronger regulation, but lets not be overly enthusiastic about it.

The US conventional wisdom is that diesels are big, very dirty truck engines. The small turbodiesel is not a thing that made much headway here outside of a small segment of VW's itself smallish customer base. 18-wheel big rigs, trash trucks, school buses, and passenger busses, on the other hand, are ubiquitous - and emissions on them only minimally regulated until recently. Most people wouldn't know anything about air filters on diesel engines, much less adjust consumer behavior to compensate.

There's also this:

I've just seen the demo. What about security? Can anybody just "dump" files on your server?

Also, when people run this at home on their home computers there is limited upload speed (typically 1/10th of the download speed).
I'm not a car expert, but wouldn't the fact that the engine takes time to heat up mean that it is more efficient?
Now that VW is investigated, we should focus on the emission standard themselves - not the tactics to avoid or optimize for the tests.

In Europe, the standards are a joke (no one drives like we test the cars).
This isn't binary though,there are various choices. So i guess you're posting to hacker-news from your TI calculator running tails OS?

I'm still ambivalent on this form of stack but it's a move in the right direction. Component composition makes JS a lot less messy. Meteor is doing something real interesting with isomorphic JS, and whether or not it gets widespread adoption, I'm happy that avenue is being explored as well. Stefan Richter is doing some REAL interesting work with isomorphic Clojure [2] in his shop in Germany, that has some real interesting exercises. The talk is from 2010, so it was more novel when I first watched it than you'd think of today.

> Enough regions until it becomes efficient at measuring and responding to needs.

How do you respond to needs if it's all opaque? For example, for a city of 100,000 people how do you decide how many sheets of toilet paper you need? Or razor blades? Or tampons? I know it sounds all frivolous, but the lack of razor blades was mentioned even by Orwell in his "1984", and as for tampons, I first saw them after 1990, the central economy planners from my country had decided that cotton wool was good enough for women.
