   I have a four letter dormant Twitter account. I get about four mentions/replies per day that link to some nondescript crypto airdrop since several weeks. I manually mark each and every such tweet as spam and block the user, which nee

   https://overpass-turbo.eu/ is a complete search for OpenStreetMap. It’s a bit cumbersome to use, but the wizard is great and the search is super powerful. I particularly like “banks far away from police stations” example:

   There are also (desktoptop) microCT machines, which can work with much smaller samples and produce images with much higher resolution. I have the pleasure to work with three such machines, and we routinely scan samples with a size smaller

   Of course the are, but - if I'm correct - they don't produce an electromagnetic field. And are not shielded by a bit of mesh wire (I work with desktop microCT machines...).

   This really depends on the X-ray machine, a powerful x-ray source might easily penetrate a small appliance. A faraday cage/bag does not protect x-ray since it ‘only’ blocks electromagnetic fields. So I guess in the case you mention it’

    X-rays do penetrate bone, just not very good. Otherwise one would not be able to make an X-ray of a human body.

    I can only say that adding to OSM benefits anyone who's searching for 'common things' that are still missing. Often it's a long stretch until the map is 'fully usable', but that's the thing when you try to

    All the Apps I linked above (Organicmaps and Maps.me included) use/display OSM data ;) Organicmaps is a fork of Maps.me, without their new 'wallet' function and (I think) no ads.

    Can you tell us the region you're living in? I'm Europe-based and OSM is good enough for what I need/want, but I also take part in updating/adding to it a lot. I know that address data is hardly usable in large parts o

    There’s a large amount of different reconstruction algorithms, some geared for speed, some geared for noisy data, some geared for quality. Wikipedia has a quick overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomographic_recons

    I don’t think they glossed over the marching cubes algorithm, but more over the theoretical work of Allan Cormack [0], which is crucial for CT reconstruction. (I work with (benchtop) microCT machines) [0]: https://en.wikipedia.or

    OSM is the geographic database projects can build on. Graphhopper is a routing engine so it can offer rerouting and time estimation, the problem often is the (free) availability of live traffic data. I’m happily using https://w

    MapQuest uses OpenStreetMap data, or at least shows me stuff I added to OSM in my vicinity. On their mobile website they seem to be missing attribution, though!

    You can add the missing data yourself (with OrganicMaps), then everyone can profit from it!
