Sprint

You leave Condoleeza out of this!

This is super interesting, thanks!

It probably correlates really well with random research projects that are tracking those hidden services...

That was it, thanks! I had no idea there was any kind filter active.

Oh how I am not a fan of the "non-descript icon only" trend... I had no idea there was a filter. Thank you!

Show us / try it yourself! Take one of the bands (~125 Megabytes) and losslessly compress it as small as you can. Then share the results. Science is fun!

Also be aware that TIFF is super fast, which is important for some applications. And the scene compilation is already compressed with bzip2.

Any idea why temporal coverage is so spotty? According to http://landsat.usgs.gov/landsat8.php Landsat 8 repeats every 16 days, but for many of the spots there are only images that are several months old.

Opera Mobile (the "classic" one before they threw it all away) let you save pages for offline reading. Not perfect but better than nothing. Sadly it did not cache content through restarts which is annoying on mobile where apps get killed a lot. But if I recall correctly at least the navigation back and forward was instant, like on desktop, with no network traffic.

Your website is really bad for low screens. The static (WHY?!) header and footer take about 30% of mine. And there is no visual distinction between them and the content. Last but not least, the text is uncomfortably huge. I like to see more than 10 lines of text on my screen, I am neither a child nor sitting 10 feet away.

Krita is awesome. But, and I know this will sound weird to many people, I am now so familiar with GIMP's UI and workflow, that I find changing difficult.

As a user who sometimes has terrible coverage and 2G I would suggest not using AJAX so much. If you do, make sure it is cached by the browser. It is incredibly frustrating to have zero indication if there is some AJAX loading going on in the background or not. The browsers don't show and animated indicators that websites show, well, like to animate for eternity. And if loading stopped or you decide to reload the page in the hope that this time it will load better, sites usually fetch the whole shebang again.

So my recommendations: Make sure your site is split into nice, cachable chunks (css, images, js, etc). If you can, avoid JS. Avoid loading content invisibly to the user in the background.

Why not take the matter in your own hands, embrace your freedom and install some ad-blocking addon? Or use a tool like youtube-dl, mpv or VLC to simply watch Youtube (and other hosts) videos outside your browser.

Also check out http://colororacle.org/ , which is a FOSS tool for Windows, Linux and MacOS for CVD simulation.

Will do when the time has come. Thanks!

I would like to archive your photo collection for safe keeping at archive.org in the winter. Would you be up to work together on that or should I just write me some scripts and go at it (with reasonable rate limiting)?

Are original files available or is thumb-2048.jpg the maximum public quality?

Are there really no location tags in the files? If so, your CC license is pretty much worthless as the images itself are not useful to anyone. :(

So does the US, we know thanks to Snowden.

On the opposite, everyone should use it. I love using it for queries I feel embarassed about, like googling for illness symptoms or watching wildlife documentaries.

Emphasis on can. Of course it can, there is always outliers and there is nothing that can be done about that. However I would guess that in the majority of cases people beating do get handled. I am just guessing. Are you just guessing too or do you have some hard evidence or statistics to back your claim?

The problem is that people are different. Some people will like the diverse community at HN to scrutinise their work to potentially improve it. Otherwise just want positive reinforcement. You can't really put both sides into the same bucket and decide that everyone should sugarcoat all the time.

I love criticising and my projects being criticised as long as there clearly is knowledge or experience behind. What if you see someone making a huge mistake based on your knowledge, should you stay quiet? Making sure that feedback comes across as nice and well-intended can be hard and time consuming for people who speak English as a second or third language.

So maybe there should be a differentiation between "Proudly presenting" and "Looking for honest feedback" somehow?

Sure, I am always happy to give feedback. By default it will be unfiltered and not nice on purpose, so be warned or say "be nice". :)

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

They can start with using HTTPS for everything and hosting things like analytics (Piwik rocks!), javascript libraries etc. themselves.

Nice project!

5 minute grumpy feedback:

I don't like "flat design", maybe add some subtle color changes at least? For example highlight the text "Go" (I would suggest "Search" or "Locate" rather) to make clear it is clickable. The text in the search box first made me thing it was active, not sure how to solve that, a lighter color might be too light.

I am on a small screen, the map is limited to a rectangle in the middle: http://i.imgur.com/TJJ1zfx.png

There is a non-desript slider in the bottom left (opacity). The list of maps only appeared after I clicked on a different timeframe. I expected the timeframe to switch, but instead it was added to the previous one.

What does the eye mean? What does green mean? What does the + button do? If I hover it, it says "Visible". When I click it I get a (too transparent and subtle) popup saying it was added to my cart. I see no mention of a cart anywhere. If I click the eye, nothing happens.

Browser is Opera 12 something and I pretended to be need hand-holding. :)

Please upload it somewhere for us, for example at archive.org

Sure it is for a greater cause, but making people expose their websites' visitors to a third-party is not what I would have expected from a privacy movement. See http://resetthenet.tumblr.com/post/84330794665/the-reset-the...

Instead of having a local javascript, they want you to make sure all your visitors load it from members.internetdefenseleague.org or fightforthefuture.github.io

The main site is not privacy protecting either. Leaking to Optimizely, Amazon, YouTube, Heroku, Cloudflare, taskforce.is, Typekit.

Then HTTPSB is not the right extension for you.

Heh, Google is catching up. I want to highly recommend https://www.komoot.de/plan for hike or bike planning. It's fundamentally based on OSM and very very nice.

You mean "cloud" all by itself. Don't let the current focus on the NSA fool you into believing that other countries aren't taking low hanging fruit like "your data on a remote server" for their intelligence.

This creates empty pages to be filled with Javascript.

Cheers!
