Orbis: The Stanford Geospatial Network Model of the Roman World
- est31 7y ago"ORBIS is designed for modern browsers and uses technology that works best in Chrome or Safari." I'm using Firefox, which is a modern browser.
- rambojazz 7y agoThis is back to 90s. After decades of standardization I hoped we would never see "This site works with IE" ever again.
- pjmlp 7y agoThat is what happens when everyone jumps into the "Do no evil" propaganda just to show it to the man. Take care of the things one wishes for, they may come true.
- Craighead 7y agoSo Edge using Chromium supports your conspiracy?
- conceptpad 7y agoI believe ORBIS was created in 2011 and launched in 2012 - a time before many of today's browser capabilities had been made available. It's amazing how far web browsers have come since then.
- Santosh83 7y agoAre they actually using some non-standard extensions specific to Webkit/Blink or is it just lack of testing or plain disregard of Firefox?
- cagenut 7y agoThis is super cool. I'd love to see a version of it for the nyc-metro area, or i guess sf-bay area since this is standford. My personal opinion that I've never done anywhere near this much math and modeling to support is that real estate value is nearly perfectly correlated to energy cost like these routes.
- fhars 7y agoIn a careful rereading, that question is actually not as stupid as it sounds at first, the author does in fact not believe that Stanford (unlike New York) is a Roman city so that the creators of the linked site ignored NY due to cultural bias.
