Looked at their source code out of curiosity. They use Elasticsearch as a geo backend, tile server that renders PNG images server side for each map tile request.

- low zoom -> server aggregated grid

- high zoom -> switcher to point tiles

browser just displays images, there is no work to do on client side..

I generated a visual schematic how these kind of systems work: https://vectree.io/c/server-side-geo-tile-rendering-elastics...

yes, this part I find to be most interesting.. how many losses before the picture changes for the public?

maybe it keeps getting rediscovered, becaues a good tooling around it is still missing?

so the atmosphere acts as giant lamp lit from behind by Moon? never thought of it that way

I didn't know how old this actually is. I was surprised to learn Marcus Aurelius wrote his Meditations as a private journal... never meant to be published.

found this if anyone wants to explore: https://vectree.io/c/stoic-self-examination-marcus-aurelius-...

had the same question and after reading about it, I found there are multiple layers on each other.

Existing plans are built to run 40-60 years.. retiring creates "stranded assets". pension funds fight hard to avoid that. The renewable projects that wait for permits exceed total existing capacity.. the bottleneck is not tech, but locality.

I found this visual schematic helpful - https://vectree.io/c/why-energy-transitions-are-slow-grid-in...

That would be great

Isn't the point of mirrors to concentrate heat for mining, not to get more total power?

Not in orbit.

30 years and nobody (pharma, govts, etc.) have not found it worth to study this properly. If it worked, would not at least some researched pick this up?
