To be fair, at 300 points per square meter it's a lot higher res than the highest EA 25cm resolution data, with its very patchy coverage. But the EA's 1m data covers about half the country so you're right, this featured NYU d

Is there no scope to prosecute someone who illegally locks up public land under false imprisonment laws, i.e. I am being falsely imprisoned in the part of the world which doesn't include the locked up bit?

Good analysis. I was disgusted at myself for taking the Parisian celebrity interpretation, then somewhat consoled but at the same time disturbed that on Hacker News of all places so many people did the very same. But I think you've hit

Sorry, I'm completely lost. Daycares? i.e. schools do you mean? And what do you mean that they trust these services? I must be getting this completely wrong, but surely you're not saying there are schools which exclude children w
