Esri make tools for working with geographic information (gis) and have a hosting platform for your creations. It should be possible to self host but that might be more expensive.

But they are likely to be in a window seat with their path blocked by two on-carriers so the whole thing would descend into chaos.

I quoted the article. I'd love to see some evidence that it was wrong. That it was Martin's predecessor who commissioned the e:report, or, at the very least, that this wasn't "a friend of his".

Edit: if the article got those facts wrong, that sounds a lot like libel.

Sigh, so that's who you are. Whatever. The glimmer of hope you've been furiously peddling just got that bit dimmer.

Did you think this was a super important rare thing that is never done and a huge deal?

Or...

Are you aware (win or lose) a report like this is always done?

The problem is with who was tasked with making the report. If it had been commissioned before your Big Daddy took power, and he had to deal with a sub-standard report and what to do with it, yeah, bad day at the office. But he commissioned it from this friend of his and that is concerning.

That means he's not just someone having to clean up the mess, he's part of the reason there is a mess in the first place.

Like I said, not fatal, but concerning.

Wait, are you Martin? I have a hard time seeing why anyone else would simp for him quite this hard. And do so entirely alone.

Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion

Sorry what? I literally can't even. And that's not hyperbole.

I mean, low melanin is a thing. Having to slather on the factor 50 before even thinking about leaving the house is a thing. I used to think that was what white meant. Then I met The Americans and their really odd ideas.

I'm not upset. I'm not who down voted you. ~~Hell, I'll up vote you to restore balance to the force.~~

But since Martin commissioned the report from his buddy, that seems like a significant lapse in judgement. Not fatal, but concerning.

And your constant simping for the man is just a tiny bit grating. I hope you're right, but it's alway you, and only you, making those points. Again concerning.

It is. Multi party properly representative democracy is obviously desirable. There is just no clear path from here to there since FPTP makes it impossible and whoever wins in FPTP doesn't want to change it.

I guess you can try revolution. Good luck. I'll be cheering you on from an ocean away.

Ain't gonna work. That'll just split whichever side of the FPTP duopoly you hate less and the ones you hate more will win. Don't do it.

For any of that to be plausible you need to change the voting system first.

The sad truth is that the only viable option is to slowly turn the massive ship in primaries and local elections and eventually that'll bubble to the top.

Are people still pretending they don't understand it was written by a single freelancer?

That the people now running the DNC, didn't run it during 2024?

Perhaps, but the article does say

Martin’s first misstep was arguably appointing his consultant friend Paul Rivera to head the task

So it doesn't seem like your pal Martin is at all blameless here.

Or put that money in a fund and pay 300 teachers at 100K indefinitely from the returns.

It was established decades ago that

It’s harder to read code than to write it.

and

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Having lots of code appear out of thin air isn't really of any help in making functional systems.
