#2At least in Firefox, this page doesn't scroll at all. No scrollbar, scroll wheel/cursor keys/PageDown all do nothing.

#4Github: https://github.com/zhu-xlab/GlobalBuildingAtlas
Viewer: https://tubvsig-so2sat-vm1.srv.mwn.de/ (might already be hugged to death? When it works you get a heatmap when zoomed out, and 3d models with flat roofs when you zoom in far enough)
Looks pretty cool. Obviously only covers above-ground buildings or above-ground portions of buildings. Also seems like it tends to view buildings built wall-to-wall next to each other as the same building, but not always. So if you calculate something like average building volume you are bound to be off quite a bit

You have uBlock Origin or another ad blocker installed, their cookie banner disables scrolling but your ad blocker is blocking the cookie banner (same thing happened to me)

#6For sure not all buildings. My first query was "Costa del Este, Juan Díaz, Distrito de Panamá, Panamá Province, Panama" and no coverage. This region is packed with high rises.

For me it was the cookie notice. Had to disable uBlock and reject them before the page could be responsive again.

#9All of the houses on my block are very weird shapes on this map, it doesn't reflect reality very well

#10So here is finally the data that I needed for my idea: walk directions from A to B while never leaving the shadows, suggesting bars and pubs where to wait while the shadows catch up and let you cross “safely” where before was sunny.
Useful for scorching weather places like south of Spain.
