Pecha-kuchor, the smell of rain falling on dry 2000s era startup founders.

Happy to chat!

Zooming in on these, they seem to be 3d mapping some planes, possibly with lidar? Not sure if they use that data to try to detect a plane shape and scrub it. Might explain the inconsistency if lidar coverage or accuracy varies. No idea.

They’re onto you… also, I do see a fair few planes at Gatwick in my imagery, just not at the gates.

Never mind, it’s inconsistent everywhere. Curious. I did find one Heathrow plane on Google though :)

The Apple Maps satellite provider does this for roads too, but their attempts at airports are a bit… ghostly.

Or they’ve just removed temporary/mobile features by averaging over multiple satellite passes. Avoids having weird artifacts like planes cut in half at tile/frame boundaries. You’ll notice there’s no cars on motorways either.

Looks like that’s been deliberately scrubbed as a clean base for the 3d building renders.

Did he ever make it to Homerton hospital?

I put a silly amount of work into this, but it was a fun exploration in datavis and storytelling. I could keep tinkering on this forever but I gave myself till then end of the month to call it done. Time to move onto other projects. (PS: looking for work…)

Oh well done. I’m currently struggling to put together a hilariously over engineered visual review of just my own receiver’s 2024 data so I think I’ll pass.

Plans for the ship data?

Perhaps Mossmorran related? I wonder if it got worse in Aberdour. A92 probably not great for PM levels either. That said your previous levels are already low, especially PM2.5.

I’d love to see all the hallucinated attempts before they finally got something accurate.

At least you can turn it off and don’t ever get randomly switched over to it.
