Real-Time maps warn Hong Kong protesters of water cannons and riot police

HK protest is probably the most high-tech protest ever. I suspect many governments are studying it now to learn from it.

> In crowded situations where internet access may be near-nonexistent, Orca encourages protesters on the edge of a crowd—where data coverage is better—to download the map, then AirDrop it into the crowd so it can make its way deep into the middle. “We call it rippling out, or rather rippling in,” he said.

This is by far the most interesting part for me. My fear is always what happens when authorities "turn off the hose", but mesh networks like this are inspiring.

Is this what future war looks like?

...and with Machine Learning scraping and analysing social media posts, police knows the location of the protest ahead of time.
