Seconding location based lookups. I might not be looking for something specific, but if I know of businesses nearby worth patronizing, when I need that good/service, I'll visit the…

I also appreciate that Hn removes emojis from comments. :'(

Appreciate that it handles emoji as well. Can't distinguish between smileys though.

I'd counter with an anecdote; I had a colleague that boasted how he memorized a classmate's SSN in college and would greet him by SSN when seeing him years later. Is the goal of AI…

I can agree with that in principle, however it shouldn’t take months . If there are multiple levels of middle management here, issues that arise in a probationary/grace period shou…

Amen. If an organization is taking months to come to a hiring decision that’s a red flag, unless it’s a C-suite level position, where a misstep could have irreversible damage. A te…

This is mostly true in the US. The map is reflecting districts. I happen to be in a small town in New Jersey, so we're an elementary district with one school. Children after 6th gr…

Atlas (and Felt, as another commenter mentioned) are interesting, but seem to be targeting a market I feel is too small. If you're established in GIS, you likely have your own stac…

As the article states, WiFi monitoring is likely happening on a large scale. Why purchase outside data when you have better data (including authenticated users) already in house?

I don’t believe it falls under FERPA. Plus, the WiFi monitoring tracks everyone with a mobile device, regardless of matriculation status.

They’re all doing it, just at different levels of nanny-state oversight.

Exactly this. The metadata is flexible and OSM could readily support a quality assessment within a "slowways" namespace.

Reading through their Kickstarter, my BS detector was triggered. Run any app from Windows/Mac/Linux? Run this OS as a VM elsewhere, taking all off your stuff with it? Is this just …

Isn't this what Bimodal IT strategy all about? You'd want to keep current with cutting edge (through sites like this one) so you know which future looks promising and then incorpor…

> 1. How do you stop someone from finding the actual property location by querying that map a bunch of times and averaging the positions returned? Back when YikYak was a thing, I w…

For some interesting historical perspective, here's what Microsoft and partners had to come up with in 1998 to support Terraserver and it's 3TB of imagery. http://research.microsof…

The latitude is an analogue for habitability. The ocean currents do enable agriculture and thus historic patterns of stable habitation at higher degrees of latitude on the east sid…

Thanks! I welcome any feedback you might have on how I can make it even more useful.

I have added a neighborhood map to each property page, in addition to the Bing "Bird's Eye." I'm also working on a Leaflet-based map of the whole state with the parcel layer. Still…

The difficulty in "open sourcing" it is that each state manages its CAMA/assessment/cadastral data differently. I did open source some of the tools I used to work with New Jersey's…
