Definitely the most detailed analysis about map readability and features selection over time and in different areas.

We might disagree on some points but his work is truly amazing and always interesting.

I agree with you over his previous blog and about his position at Apple Maps, great to see him doing what he does best.

It's mainly part of a campaign against EV, so here, even wording is carefully chosen to bring this sentiment.

Not really surprised by some recent news on those subject.

But he is consistent since 2010 in his point of view and analysis process. Getting even more precise, so or course it might have trolled a little bit but his arguments make a truly interesting whole.

Justin O'Beirne's articles are extremely detailed as always. It's definitely a must-see for mappers whatever the company or products you're working with.

If you look at cars as a capsule with 'out-of-network' capabilities, it is pretty interesting. You can whether bring local transportation on both side (start or end) of the railway-like network, where walking would not be possible (long distance, no other alternatives...).

In the video you have both experiences, public shared capsule (glassed bus) and private capsule (cars) and in that way, you can address both needs without providing too much stations/lifs and still able to bring access to big cities for people living in peripheral areas.

It's one solution that can make it, not the only one though, but it's a good point of view of future cities.

I go for you $100, see you in 6 months ;)

Especially when they buy a digging machine (still small compared to the ones I've seen near where I work), you can see it there: https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/theboringcompany/

As reusable rockets were impossible... I don't think it would be easy, but completely doable and one way to go to reduce problems in big cities, especially the capsule-esque bus... Both public and private transport with the same network, it can be good! Especially if combined with autonomous drive from/to the spot and tunnels' lifts.

I would definitely be glad to work on a project like this!

Kimono shut down on February 29th, 2016 and the cloud service has been discontinued. It only exists as a desktop app now.

Bought by Palantir, they retired in a good way, keeping people's data available for a moment and communicating well.

It was a great product still complicated to get a practical business model.

This WrapAPI v2 is an alternative I think, but I would use them with care as the economical model is unsure and it seems to be really new, still promising! :)

Mobile view using F12 dev-tools shows a not-so-well-done design. That's a first for Google but I guess it will be improved even on various devices without having to install/try the apps.

But it's a good first shot, keep going guys!

By the way, Jean Michel Jarre just played a concert in Israël at the Dead Sea against difficult weather conditions.

It was done to promote an ecological message as effect of global warming can be seen in this specific area, see more info about his show on the official website.

Well done and well explained. Great thing to share your thoughts in open-source as well. I wish you the best with your job research, companies like Advance or Octo would be great places for you in France, based on the skills you showed.

The article has its points and it is always interesting to analyze those specific readibility and rendering analysis. It helps to understand the choice made by interactive map platforms through static image and dynamic controls.

Justin O'Beirne knows what he is talking about. He has worked for Apple Maps and he also created other interesting and really precise analysis in the past.

It's working greatly. I stress-tested it with a few of my custom geo reference data for administrative or socio-demographic statistics. Feel free to reach me by mail if you want to test it further (FR-IRIS)

Eminem's songs can be used to stress-test the visualization
