and that will be paid for, how? Its been said that Maps is likely Google's most expensive product to maintain. Just think about the scope of driving every road in the world as ofte…

I think what you want is something like Microsoft Access on the web, only less crappy. I think its been tried many times and never done quite right.

The problem is if you totally max out freogeoip it doesn't scale (or let you pay) for more requests.

Parsing isn't the hard part, its the source data, which if you do the math on what Google has done (drive around the world taking 360 video and LIDAR of streets) is literally billi…

TIGER (dataset that this is based on) has some giant holes in it, and is based on block faces not building footprints like Google Maps. Its also U.S. only... why not base on OSM, w…

Cherry picking one example does not make you more accurate than Google Maps. TIGER has some giant holes in it, and is based on block faces not building footprints like Google Maps.…

What about using Amazon's built-in database services (RDS, DynamoDB) instead?

Hmmm, security model is vaporware and VCs are deciding that we (developers) will really love this library before anyone is even using it.

I like Coda for the built in SSH support.. all my dev work is done on a dedicated dev server, I don't code anything locally. So everyday text editors don't really work for me. I ha…

Its a great idea but the product seems only half done... I signed up and could only share links but I couldn't (as a product vendor) tell referly how much I'd pay for signups or re…

Yes I used them... The contract is transferrable. I have fully paid off the panels already so I suspect that it will add a lot of value to our house if we decided to sell.

Its a lease to own, after 15 years you own it outright. For the 15 years the system is fully maintained and warranted under the contract.

This price would have sounded great a few years ago, but you can get whole house solar installs for ~$4k, enough to replace your power. We got a 4.6 kw system installed on our hous…

It'd be great if this is just the start of a trend where Google supports open source mapping tech that would make projects like OSM more viable (for reasons why its not currently v…

Definitely! Why can't I buy $100 worth of stock in a startup along with 1000's of other people? Some SEC rules or something? EDIT: Then imagine how motivated those 1000's of others…

I liked how the business model of LORD was to get you to pay so you could do it with Violet.

This comment will probably get buried and no-one cares, but... OSM, although a great force for good in the mapping world, is not in its current state a viable competitor to Google …

April fools jokes starting early this year?

Does anyone else find the whole process of engaging the tech "media" a giant distraction from developing their core product and trying to engage real customers? Chances are if you …

I'm sure there is a chance I am missing some bits here, but I setup a 3.0.18 / Ubuntu 11.10 / Apache 2.2 server and to compare against 2.6.39 Apache 2.2 server and in all tests the…
