#2What would be really useful would be to have this colour coded by day so we could see the evolution through time.

#3If they'd taken my advice and killed off all the poor people, none of this would ever have happened.
It's time to acknowledge that not all of mother nature's experiments in the combination of human DNA are worth keeping.

#5Apparently the rioters are organising using blackberry messenger. Seems like the police are about 2 hours behind what's happening.

I not only disagree, I genuinely believe this doesn't not belong here. I have downvoted and flagged because I believe that kind of comment to be inappropriate on HN.
Not all poor people are poor because they are somehow incapable, undeserving, or somehow unfit to live. Sometimes people are caught in circumstances beyond their control, and they are unable to get out of it. Not to understand that shows a breathtaking arrogance.
Who are you, who are we, to decide who has the right to live? Who are you, who are we to decide who should have rights and who should be deprived of them?
If my business collapsed there's every chance I'd find myself behind on the mortgage, and if I then was ill for a month or two there'd be the very real risk of being homeless.
Who knows how I would've turned out had I been in the situation these people endure?
I condemn the violence unreservedly and unhesitatingly, but that doesn't mean I don't have sympathy with the situations of people who are caught in the poverty trap.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but there aren’t that many people who will engage in an argument with someone who advocates murdering humans and wants to be taken seriously.
