Yikes. I wonder if I got throttled due to Hacker News traffic. Can you share more details?

Hello,

Yes, there are a few options available already. This was a passion project of mine, and I am reviewing all the use cases I can add. My primary aim was to have a website that works on both desktop and mobile. Did not prioritize mobile apps/CarPlay/Android Auto support yet.

That's embarrassing... will fix the title and favicon.

Thanks for the feedback regarding addresses, on my TODO list to add support for dynamic search.

Not very accurate if it's short distances. What challenges did you face with the patent application?

Thanks for the feedback. When you say wildly different, was the weather different? Or did the application behave differently? I will definitely consider sticky URLs!

Show HN: I built a navigation app that displays weather along the route

Hello HN,

I live in northern part of USA where winters are snowy. Whenever I took long trips, I always wondered what the weather along the route is going to be. For those who live in northern USA, you know weather can change frequently, so when you're traveling matters a lot, not just the route.

To solve this problem for myself, I built https://navimodo.com/. NaviModo calculates the route, and then checks weather along the route based on your start time, and displays weather along the route. Change start time, and the whole thing is recalculated.

I am not expecting any commercialization for this, just wanted to scratch an itch, and just did it. I have ideas for adding additional features (suggestions for when to take breaks based on bad weather, auto-suggestion of start time to avoid bad weather, etc.,) but will add more as time goes by.

Any feedback is welcome!

I don't think you can equate me leaving an employer "early", for some definition of early, to theft. As long as the contract is "at will employment", which majority of American job offers are (sorry for my America centric view), then the contract is AT WILL, in both directions. In my mind there is no ethical, moral or legal lapse.

Just curious, commit for how long? I have been in situations before, where I have accepted an offer, started a job and was informed 3 months later that the company mis-calculated the budgets/revenues and have to let go a bunch of people. Guess who gets let go first? The people who started the latest.

Doesn't this go both ways? In this day and age in America, there's no loyalty going in either direction, employer or employee.

In Sanskrit, there's a poem about hand gestures:

"Yato hasta stato drishti"..."Where the hand is, the eyes follow"

"Yato drishti stato manaha"..."Where the eyes go, the mind follows"

"Yato manaha stato bhava"..."Where the mind is, there is the feeling"

"Yato bhava stato rasa"..."Where the feeling is, there is mood"

What? Why do you say this isn't possible? This is a series hybrid vehicle, not a pure electric vehicle. Series hybrid has been done for a long time now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel-electric_transmission

This is nothing new technology-wise.

This seems like a whole lot less effort and simpler design (of course without the Bluetooth control). If some one is looking for a cheaper entry point, this is great: http://www.instructables.com/id/Sous-vide-cooker-for-less-th...

As a color blind person, I could not tell any difference between trusted proxies and un-trusted proxies.

I guess we are getting closer and closer to the Pizza delivery technologies described in Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash. Entire industries dedicated to getting things into consumer's hands faster and faster. The "now" in "I want it now" keeps getting shorter and shorter.
