24 alternatives to US Protest Map
Throwaway here from a long time lurker. I've been frustrated by the media coverage of the protests since February - first the lack of it, then the overemphasis on inevitable flashpoints. It all misses the point that it's a broad, organic, mostly peaceful, and increasingly growing movement. Recently I ran across a great data source from an individual backed by a hard working team of 20 volunteers, We (the People) Dissent. They've been building a Google Sheet, tracking event locations from multiple sources with source links. Which inspired this interactive map - it attempts to illustrate where…

For the past few months, I've been working on a website that answers two different questions: - Where in my city have the best travel times to all the things and people I care about? - Given a listing, how far is it from all the things and people I care about? Personally this was fueled by my own frustrations when I was apartment hunting in NYC. I was frustrating to have to juggle so many Google Maps tabs when I was evaluating a listing, and it was also annoying to not have full confidence that I was even searching in the right places. I wanted to be close to work, a Trader Joe's, and a…

Simulate anything on a map from a text prompt -- and conduct risk analysis against LiveUA map's global realtime data points from social media and news sources. I trained a GPT-2-size model on historical incident data used to predict things that will go wrong. As historian Benjamin Breen mentions, the leading language models are good historians, so the application will simulate historical events pretty well also. I include a Multi-Agent RL Urban Mobility model in progress displayed on the map as small white cubes representing traffic and pedestrians. Around SF, it uses real census data and…

When I read papers, I have to jump between multiple tabs to find the dataset, code, videos, peer reviews, and so on. I tried to fix this with this project. It started as a project just for papers on arXiv, but after its initial success on Twitter (got like 1.9k views: the most I have gotten for a post), I have now expanded it to include other openly available papers from PubMed Central, bioRxiv, medRxiv, and eLife. These papers have been linked with their genes, proteins, diseases, drugs, clinical trials, 3D protein structures, code, and cited and similar papers. This project now has four…

Hi HN! I built a map that shows cell coverage from the major US networks. It draws primarily on data from the FCC, but that's supplemented/calibrated with a bunch of crowdsourced data from the DIMO project (dimo.zone). My goal is to make comparisons between networks super easy--one click to toggle between networks or technologies. I'm never sure how much to trust networks' self-published maps. I'm still in the early days of incorporating the crowdsourced data, but I'm hoping all the on-the-ground data can lead to a map that's more reliable than network operators' maps (those are largely…

I've been building a bunch of US geography tools/games/visualizations and thought folks on HN might like this one. There are also drive-time and bike-time tools available on the same page. For folks interested, all of the data comes from OpenStreetMap and the US Census at the moment - OSM for routing and points interest and the US Census for population data. Anonymous users can use it 5x/day. I put up a waitlist page to gauge interest in a paid version but there's no way for the public to make an account - feel free to bypass the limits in an incognito tab. The site is US-only…

A web platform I've written to make it easy for people to share goespatial time series data and display it on animated heatmaps. There's also a social media component that allows you to write comments, follow, share and like data sets that you want to engage with. You can also download the CSV data and embed animations into your own websites. People uploading datasets can also choose to make money by accepting donations. Please check out the home page for more details: https://mapipedia.com Here are some samples of things created with the platform (press the play button to start…

Votizen is working to remove the influence of money in politics by making political decision-making more peer-to-peer. We're using Twitter and our API to pull tweets from only registered voters, and showing how the discussion breaks down among the parties. This has never been done before as far as I know, not even by the major media outlets. Please check it out and let me know what you think. If people are interested, we'll work to improve it for the further debates and campaigns.

Hey Everyone! We made a hacker news map so you can hang out with other readers in the cities you're in: https://summerplaybook.com/g/HN-Map/e2e3d3bc5699417b8c54bbb252bebbf1?in=v6&rn=hn We run this website, summer playbook, which helps college students meet others near them over the summer Thought we'd toss up a hacker news map while we're at it. Catch us around the birthplace of YC, Cambridge, MA, if you sign up :) It could use a little polish on some of the edges but it gets the job done. The goal here is just to help people meet others around them. Though we…
