Have you been running this for long? I've looked for something in this space for the last couple of years but only came across MapTiler /AGOL and a few others, that were either pre…

Wordpress is quite a big one? I think Blogger was the main alternative back then, but there were probably several commercial ones with reasonable market share.

Large amount of US popular is clustered around key areas (East Coast corridor, West Coast Corridor, Midwestern cities etc. No reason these couldn't be linked up and are more populo…

Well it's more like Google is victim of rent seeking. Pay me $26b or Bing will be the default. Google has clear first choice preference across a large swathe of the market.

Hey nice writeup. I saw you linked to Mapillary on there, have you used this and the API? The CV side can really add to mapping functionality.

I would love to agree but it's simply not correct. They are buying existing tunneling machines and there is nothing yet to suggest a step change. The radical proposals in terms of …

How would you go about this?

Hey I tried Felt and it looked good. However for me the marker / polygon moved significantly with different zoom levels which is a fairly big issue. This was in 54,-1 area (lat/lng…

Hello I watched your video with the Crusher. For most places having a subgrade of rock or good granular material as seen in the video would be a luxury for road construction. In ge…

I don't think that's obvious, e.g. an Apple or Facebook could take OSM and fork it privately and invest all their efforts into that, without releasing upstream for competitive adva…

Do you expect Starlink (or equivalent) to radically alter this space?

>Bunker fuel shouldn't be marketable for sale as a fuel at all. We (= OPEC, in this case) could still sell it to chemical companies, but the rest, we should just be sticking back i…

There has been a few if you monitor the news, mostly unsuccessful (e.g. Iraqi PM a couple of weeks ago)

This is generally because of heave effects (clay rising up after loads being removed for basement excavation), and results in significant raft slabs (as much as 3m thick) and tensi…

Developed country is developed Developing country is developing I would say your viewpoint there is overly simplistic.

>>traditional media just deals in half truths and artificially modifying information You know, this also could be a definition for Gonzo journalism which by its nature is 'truth in…

It is fair to say this is quite distorted by the impact of very low interest rates on expectations of future profits though, which is a key component in the share price.

They are designed for a number of air changes per hour/day which would be analogous I guess. I can't remember the number but a Google will tell you, it's different depending on the…

Also you can say you have other offers (or even go ahead with multiple applications) and therefore you want a competitive offer.

Is it? Spalling is usually noticed a lot more, you would probably see some yielding or signs of progressive collapse first. The pictures I have seen make foundational failure look …

(ignoring earthquakes) I guess the swimming pool would need to be on bearings and allowed some degree of rotation/translation from the buildings. This would be achievable as it doe…

Perhaps England had some form of free speech but it certainly was not the 'American standard'. There has always been limits - and fairly extensive when it comes to topics posing a …

I would guess the Faroe Islands would be in reasonably unfractured rock. This would be favourable to drill and blast which is cost effective as tunnelling techniques go. The spraye…
