"The point of school and college is to teach students how to think. The knowledge itself is arguably less than half the value of school".
I have never heard this put so clearly.
Somewhere around 3rd grade I did not want to go to school anymore as it was so boring. I was told I had to go. When I asked why I had to go the answer was "because". That did not work for me. I rebelled and had problems my entire time in the education system. If someone had just given me the answer above it would have helped tremendously.
I liked the story, I don't think it even needed a name attached to it to have value.
There was a time in high school art class where I refused to do a project because I did not feel that the teacher had a right to grade it using her opinion of what was or was not art or good art. She gave me an F which was enough to prevent my graduating. I ended up having to stay after school and do an art project where it was preagreed that it was not to be graded. I did graduate. Stubborn little shit I was.
I know this is a new system and that the operators will learn a lot this time around. I would like to make a couple of suggestions from a completely uneducated position.
For me it would be easier if you started with a big image of where the updated photos were taken.
If the big image was divied into sections (indicated by dotted lines) which fit my screen at the colsest possible altitude then I could search vertically or horizontally in a straight line starting at the location of my choice.
Have a main page with each and every image listed. Each time someone searches an image it is marked. There is also an indication of how many times that area has been searched.
Show me where Steve took off from and let me choose an image which either has not been searched yet or has a low number of searches completed on it. I can then go over that area (at the closest resolution) in a vertical and or horizontal line to cover that area.
A color on the main map could also indicate areas searched and the number of times they have been searched.
If possible use colored lines to show where search aircraft have passed over.
If possible use different filters to take the image which would show things like heat, metal, etc.

Nice verification, gotta love that Internet.
