I think it’s hinting at an updated galactic map interface.
I’m kinda surprised the download hasn’t moved along faster. Vote vote vote…
It might be possible as well! The password for one of the myriad-70 account was “star chart”, so it makes sense.
Also, if we are getting a new map, it means that they made something up that needs of this possible new interface. I’m crossing my fingers for it to be a new procedural engine!
EDIT: Also, activating portals that allows us to move between great distances or even dimensions is pretty much a reason for a new galactic map interface.
I agree and although it appears we are able to vote endlessly, I am not sure how the backend treats additional votes. Assuming many are voting and re-voting, I would indeed expect the percentages to increase faster.
Hi guys!
I just discovered this whole Waking Titan thing, so I’m not sure how it works.
But couldn’t the download percentage increase over time, instead of how many votes they are?
The data set poll is ending in 3 hours I believe, explaining the slow rate of downloading.
Maybe if the poll is closed, we will see if the votes are in anyway important.
Almost there, 94% !
However, the percentages for voting have not changed at all.
Seems to be speeding up. 94% on my end!
just wondering while we wait, any idea if Shield 3 running Diagnostics means anything? Seems to be the only other process running on the Status page
it also says ‘rescheduling’ of 30 days in the current satellite launch windows, maybe the one is connected to the other?
It could be based on how many have voted, rather than the percentages. Once you get a large enough number of votes, it gets much harder to change any of the percents. There may be a certain number of votes we have to reach, like 100k or a million. In other words, completing the “data set”; reaching the number of votes they wanted to complete the statistical sample size.
I checked the source code, and these values are basic html pre values. So they are hard coded, not changing in automatic relevance to something else. ![]()
I just don’t know!
In other news, I found this: Bernard Bolzano - Wikipedia
EDIT: also, this: Bolzano–Weierstrass theorem - Wikipedia
the connections are pretty obvious when you start digging deeper
A discrepancy in the about page in where they are located
It says they take advantage of NASA’s cosmonaut program, Russian space program uses cosmonauts, USA it’s astronauts
Side-note: There are 5 so-called Lagrange points around the earth, which are special for placing satellites due to symmetry between sun-earth-moon and their mutual gravitational influence. These are labelled L1 to L5.
So, package L6 could refer to a secret Lagrange point not yet discovered or something.

I was just wondering if anyone thought there might be some significance to calling our submarine cables and OC-1920, and then below that it says that it is loved by 89044 developers?
OC-1920 is a an optical carrier standard. It’s also known as STM-640. It’s transmission rate is 99,532.8 Mbit/s. Don’t know where to go with that. Maybe it’s nothing.
89044 is the zipcode for Henderson, NV. If you look at it in Zillow it shows a “development” style neighborhood with streets named Garnett Star and Penumbra Dr. So, maybe “developer” was a play on words.
just found the link from base64 as well. Any ideas after that?
Couldn’t fiond reference to him on this page. But :

Johannes Hevelius wrote the Mercurius in Sole visus Gedani (1662), principally on the transit of Mercury, but containing chapters on many other observations.
Not sure if it has to do with anything, it just stood out to me.

Just a technicality:
Something being hardcoded in HTML doesn’t mean it’s not dynamically created by PHP/ASP/whatever is driving wordpress on the server side. All it tells you is that it won’t change unless you manually refresh the page.
And even that isn’t the full story, since javascript could still change anything created by HTML, even if the javascript is put in a completely different part of the same page.
