Some of these bullet points down at the bottom are a bit self explanatory. Thinking of cutting them down to the most crazy ones

To the scale of "wow, how the fuck did they do this?" or even bigger than that?

None of it is technically really mind boggling. It's not hard to see how any of it was done.


It's more the fact that no one ever took a breath and said 'whoa, maybe we shouldn't do this'

i am following your editing it is looking good

Well, yeah, what I read makes it sound technically not terribly difficult in theory

cue clip of Jeff Goldbloom in Jurassic Park

This is...chilling, irritating, creepy new level stalkerish

remember WB said this started as a method to track uniques then grew.

classic lets build it bigger

"what else can I get it to do?"

Speaking from personal experience, feature creep IS real.

(no experience with building scrapers, but I do have dev experience)

@rekkanoryo have you viewed the shrill sound TG yet

The what?

And that's putting it mildly..... Jesus

can anyone look at the picture at the very bottom and tell me if we should highlight any other functionality on it? I wanted to make sure to hit "locals abroad", but wasn't sure if there were any other highlightable things.

Chat with WB

I have not.

After that, I think we're close to uploading this last page

I don't know that I can absorb another telegram chat at the moment.

I'm close to my data processing limit for tonight

Understood. Not required but if you feel up to it some time...

the WB join link is in the pin it is eyeopening

just get some alcohol first

I already feel like I need a fifth of bourbon

and I don't friggin' drink

This isn't about scope creep, it's about don't be a fucking creep.

there's a pin. there's always a pin

pens down on riot copy?

there are too many cursors on that thing

yeah I think we're mostly done

well, we're close. I'm out of content. Rev is still tweaking and Lena is still redlining

but it's real close

im out

Yeah. There's so many devils in those details. Creeptastic.

Yeah I'm about there too

ok then

im getting a beer

be patient, there's more good stuff. This thing is a monster

WB undersold it

holy fartballs

I think we're doing a good job of capturing the awful without being emotional or hyperbolic

Yeah it really does creep for itself

we're at the part where we have to wrestle with the stuff WB revealed in the chat

like the spoofing, pay for hit stuff

nope

we have so much good stuff with hard evidence

yeah ok

get that

allegations are meaningless and only detract

ok, if people are satisfied that we haven't missed anything important, i'm out of content too. Once Lena is done, we can upload, format, and nitpick

Am I? I shouldn't be

Boy oh boy does that doc make me sick to my stomach

Boy oh boy does that doc make me sick to my stomach


it's so, so bad

I don't even have the thing open anymore

lol

my bad. hallucinating

well, then I'd say you're done

ok. I think you can go with it Erich

Yes. I'm out of words

My phone keyboard and the "suggest changes" thing had a fight. Sorry about that

oh it's ok love. I was just giving you a goofy hard time

your edits were spot on

agree - that can fly out at a later time if at all

@Semiotiq i used "polygon of an area" rather than "polygonic area" a few times. change for unity?

was there a screenshot that showed a tiered donation page or something like that? Would that serve any purpose? (it's quite possible this is a figment of my imagination because I'm tired)

um, yeah whatever you think is best. I think I need to stop thinking for a little bit.

Let Lena decide, she's still conscious and knows words gud.

There was.

The seer part kind of confirms something I've seen discussed about res down voting enl submissions.

k, pencils down. 😌

on the blog - "How it works" has only 2 links where there should beb 4

I don't even

ok

riot is at parity with copy

all 4 work for mee

LET THE WILD ROMPUS OF NITPICKING BEGIN

the page itself doesnt have 4 links

@theprevaricator change 'scraped' in first paragraph of homepage to 'extracted'

I think either way is fine?

refresrefresh

refresh

the amount of work poured into this effort is incredible in just a matter of hours....you all are amazing peeps. I'll have clearer focus in the morning to review everything again.


Has there been any further updates from WB - just curious

No nitpicking for me. I need sleep. Good work from everyone tonight.

As far as "polygonic area" vs "polygon of an area", I prefer the latter

it's easier to read.

basing that purely on chat here, though, as I can't see any of this yet

i refresrefreshed... and this is what i see

[[Photo]]

ahh ok

misunderstood

I will correct

ah main section not side bar links

No. Light conversation. Data dumps are done. She's happy with the way things are progressing.

if she gives throw away email I can send preview

Will access to the site be given to WB before it goes live as well? She deserves to see it before anyone

might also have corrections for how some things are worded

@erich normalize capitalization of "slack" in 4th paragraph of homepage. Not sure which is correct.
