Nothing amazing about this... the national weather service has been doing this already for about 2 years on their website.

My oldest radar.weather.gov bookmark dates from 2006. They had a flash animation up for much of that time.

Where do you find something like this there?

I've been using this for quite some time... works very well. I only will fly one or two airlines, but I still use Google Flights to compare days, and departure airports because its so much easier!

I reached out to Emily Linnert, one of the real journalist who's photo is being used on one of the sites and shes replied. Her (or her station) is taking legal action.

I tried messenger and hated it, I don't want to see bubble's popping up ontop of everything. Might quit using facebook all together on mobile if this gets more intrusive. I already hate the pop up requests to download messenger.

Oddly enough Google is throwing an error on that file.... to many people downloading the file recently.

I've rehosted it here:

Companies recycle code all the time for other projects... in fact I've seen it written in a lot of contracts the the company that wrote the code owns the code and they just license it to the client.

I didn't expect any responses and a bunch of down votes... this made it worth the 30 seconds of doing a stupid Ask HN

thanks the paragraph tags showed up in my post when I had a title longer than 80 chars and had to edit the title.
