This is crazy cool. Nevertheless, if everyone used it, we would saturate whatever network we are using and I am curious what it would do to traffic costs since you are basically bouncing around a whole bunch of data back and forth. Sounds e

It reminds me of Map Algebra https://www.nrem.iastate.edu/files/w11-MapAlgebra_presentati... Very cool.

Since the title was edited somehow, this is the interesting part: "We’re requiring vendors to submit a working prototype based on a public dataset and show their work in a publicly available git repository. "

I am not going to say that I agree or disagree with this methodology, but let me give you some context. Traditionally, getting into the GSA schedule is a lot of work and it takes a lot of time. So much indeed, that it doesn't make

There is nothing that says "the standard is longitude,latitude". If you want to be picky, most implementations say "easting,northing" and in a geographic coordinate system (e.g. EPSG:4326) that means longitude,latitude.

I was going to reply but then I saw your comment history. Wow... On the bright side I guess HNs has a very diverse community -that includes racist hackers.

eh, any where query that hits an index where the 750M rows are not going to be scanned. The query can easily return in 100ms... fetching the records is a different story.

As somebody who has lived 18 years in this country and just _barely_ managed to get a green card 2 years ago, I completely understand what you are going through. I am sorry it has come to this - it sucks big time and most people will no

How about drinking 4oz of wine to complement a good meal? Not drinking to get drunk??? Shocking, I know, but many adults do this.

OK, jokes on the side, although I really don't know for sure the source, I would say that brown color is very typical in Peru. - You can see it in the Andes mountains: http://eoimages.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/imagerec

by rburhum 11y ago
As a peruvian, that brown color can only mean two things; the beautiful color of the Andes, or the shitty state of peruvian politics. Either way, I am cool with it.

I wish we would be leveraging more of the public RTK stations out there. at the very least, we would be able to get higher horizontal and vertical accuracy http://gpsworld.com/finally-a-list-of-public-rtk-base-statio...

I succeeded at pointing out how haughty, supercilious and disconnected your comments about democratic experiments... Even though you were quick to downvote my replies. Enough for me, too.

I guess, for me, I never associate the name Jamal with black - to me it is arabic like Gamal Abdel Nasser. Then again I was born and raised in South America, so Gamal was not a curious name. It was the name that my "white" brother

You dont think it is presumptious of you to think you can somehow dissect a situation in an entire region (South America) without clearly any historical knowledge that can give you meaningful context? I say this because your question "

I've heard this so many times from people that live in a place where one of this "little experiments" is not happening. It is easy to be an anarchist or communist when you dont have to live in such a place.

I always work with utf-8 strings that get passed around from native C code to python. So far I have never had an issue. The argument for me for unicode support seems weak. Is there anything else beyond string encode/decode/manipul
