At around 5m/px, the imagery from planet labs doesn't currently have high enough resolution for it to be useful for tracing in OSM. It looks good only down to around z14ish. But what they're doing is still really interesting

$150k salary + $150k stock does not equal $300k salary. Not even in SV. And that 30% bonus sounds like made up nonsense.

Hey, great to see Matias's tag analytics work linked! It is really interesting to see how the tags on OpenStreetMap evolve. For some context, read his blog post here about the analysis and tools used: http://matiasdahl.iki.

You can keep your urls sharable and avoid breaking the back button by storing the map state in the url hash. something like: `location.hash = '#map/' + mapLat + '/' + mapLng + '/'+ mapZoom;` Here

My guess is that the local police eventually shut down that brothel and she later was able to interview someone involved - one of the prostitute, family member, police, etc? It is very reasonable in cases like this for her to leave out some
