this is incredibly cool. Thanks for sharing!
The picture of Monte Fitz Roy is breath-taking. Is there any way to access more of the pictures?

Why cant I comment on the other thread abt construction workers' suicides.. this is what I attempted to post:
---
>Why do so many construction workers kill themselves?
They got tired of building the future.

On . serious note, construction is a thankless, shitty job.
My dad was a general contractor, and he had an employee, who just had a baby... He took the baby to the neighbors house and asked them to "watch her for an hour" -- he then went back to his house and shot his wife, then killed himself.
murder/suicide....
I think that baby was like 3-months old.

Construction workers earn shit, are treated like shit and have REALLY physically demanding jobs. so their stress levels are HIGH.
I think that the idea of Universal Basic Income shouls aplly TO ONLY CERTAIN INDUSTRIES.

If you work in a certain field, which is a service field (basically) -- then yes you should get UBI - but if youre not contributing to society in any form - then no UBI for you.

I know its against ethos on HN to bitch about down-votes.
BUT FUCK ANYONE WHO DOWNVOTED THIS COMMENT
Construction is a thanklessm low-paying, high stress job and I shared an intimate story of a person I knew personally as an employee of my dad's construction company fucking killing his wife after having a baby...
So FUCK you downvoters -- you fucking assholes that think that deep matters cant be discussed on HN.
Check my account age... ive been around the block.

#26Can’t see anything on the globe, just a circle.
On mobile it says to use desktop to see all the of the pictures which I can confirm there's way more. Edit: checking the source code it only shows "20% of the photos" on mobile The visual below shows the locations of 20% of the photos

#27"Omega tau" made a really nice podcast a while ago about how Planet Labs is approaching Earth observation. That podcast goes into the details how the company and the satellite constellation came to be and what novel approaches they're using. Definitely worth listening: http://omegataupodcast.net/204-earth-observation-at-planet-l...

#29I can't believe I've never wondered this before, but I wonder how possible it is to deliberately create a satellite-blocking cloud above one's own property. What height and size it would have to be, etc.

If you could track the satellite could you not shine a laser, or bright light (maybe a mirror reflecting the sun) directly at the camera to mess up the imaging while over your region?
