This is a bit offtopic, but Berlin is really beautifully mapped in OSM. In places the details are more than what I would have ever thought of, for example the individual pillars of the Holocaust Memorial: http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/arriving-in-berlin-a-map...

For that one there should be altitude mapping.

Nice! Was this done during the Berline refugee hackathon?

I don't think so, at least it seems to be completely managed by the two organisations running it & I didn't see it mentioned in context of the hackathon. It also doesn't use a custom-made interface, but is using the uMap service: http://umap.openstreetmap.fr (So the biggest need probably is data, not code)

I'm living in one of poor EU countries. I earn less money than they pay for refugees. Our pensioners get less money than these 'refugees' with Armani clothing...

Come on, don't be a dick. You're exactly like a child that cries because the others get "more" and it's so unfair. Boohoo.

I hold governments to higher standards than parents.

Don't be a dick indeed, work more, so you can earn more and pay more taxes for the immigrants (if they were refugees they would stay whereever help was offered instead of storming to Germany), because those loans won't pay by itself and USA, IMF and the banks surely won't write that off.

Right now my country is stormed by them and can barely keep up. Schengen is a joke, same as the EU.

This will probably be down voted since Hacker News turned into a "safe space" (which is ironic considering all the whiplash about free speech on the internet around here), so let me just quote a character called Reality on the popular show "South Park": "You're sad that people are mean ? Well I'm sorry, the world isn't one big liberal arts college campus."

Just remember to keep paying your taxes, which will increase, and dont complain if your standard of living goes down, your hospitals and schools are overcrowded, or your children cannot afford a tiny apartment.

All this statement means is that your pensioners should be getting more money, not that refugees should be getting less. Likewise, you should be making more money than you do, if your income is lower than refugee support money. I see this argument repeated ad nauseam and it's really upsetting, because it's basically saying that other people should have it worse for the sake of having it worse.

The government should start planting more money trees so they can pay for it all.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's hardly "being a dick" to expect his government to provide better for its own citizens than it does for foreigners.

But it's not his government, it's the German government. How Germany chooses to spend its money is a matter for the German people, and not anyone else.

The only good thing about this "refugees crisis" is that it could finally cause the implosion and the end of the EU. This corrupted blob in which representatives are barely elected has to go away.

And replaced by what? A more divided Europe? I know UE is not the United Federation of Planets, but at least it is a step towards it.
