Good point. As someone who lived in Nanning (not Nanjing, Nanning is the province across is the one above the Vietnamese border, across from Guandong/Hong Kong), it is intriguing to me how few people know they border on almost complet

An interesting counter-example to your point is the DC Metro system. There are human train drivers, but the driver operates a single switch varying speed/brake. The system automatically starts and stops when operating normally, and t

I once studied in University of Utah Salt Lake City. I was from NJ, near NY. So were other students mostly, as it was a summer program. The nature was fantastic, but people laughably bad in the way you could imagine. It is called the Mo

I am well aware, but there is a dedicated group of very advanced OSM users using JOSM, QGIS, and manual vetting of data, so it is a semi-automated import. That being said, thank you for throwing this up for the uninitiated. Some of the ema

This is pretty cool. A lot of manual work on OSM, back when I was with some OSM nerds in DC, faced the problem of manual imports and a tool like this would have been very, very useful. Thank you NYPL!

How can you have any kind of system without false positives? Even medical tests have false positives, and there is a lot more review than this stuff. But, copy writing is art and science. Keep the fluff away from HN skeptics, and you shou

If bloat is a concern, I used to use gitweb (which is Perl) over CGI on a sharer server and performed very well for my uses. All I had to do was write a short shell script to create the repo on the server, and SSH was running for me anyway
