Interesting subject - but I found myself pretty quickly lost in the technica terms. I do not even know what an NTP server is.

These people are not particularly good at interpreting statistics.

This stuff mostly goes over my head, but I'd like to understand it. In the original method, why is op concatenating the two positions into one number, rather than just storing the lat/lon pair and using something like Euclidean distance?

I took a class with the Sanjoy (the author) this past fall. Awesome guy and a great teacher.
