I couldn't agree more with your final thought. I assumed there may only be one or two diverted flights in a day, and certainly a handful more during winter weather, etc. I clearly remember when I finally let my initial prototype run on

Good question. I haven't stumbled upon any, but it's possible they are out there. The FAA offers a sample client. Depending on your level of skill, the hardest part might be the onboarding with the FAA which includes establishing

I don't think I've seen FlightAware showing aircraft tracks on the ground. They do show taxi times for arriving/departing aircraft and I wonder if they are stitching that data together using the STDDS feed. To give you an exa

Pretty cool. For those wondering the source of the data, it is likely ASDE-X/ASSC streaming in from the FAA's STDDS SWIM feed[0]. The terminal and ground data is especially cool and not as common as the usual flight tracking you s

HN'ers might appreciate learning the FAA has a developer-friendly program called SWIM [0] to help facilitate getting realtime FAA data (flight plans, weather data, etc) in to the hands of coders. I recently attended the SWIM Developer

I agree that this is a tactic that preys on the less tech savvy folks, and share your continued astonishment that reputable companies would engage in these drive-by toolbars/extensions that are bundled in installers. YC has invested[0]

Yes, this is surprising. Twilio has a reputation of being awfully transparent -- they had a billing systems issue back in July and handled it quite well, IIRC. They also do a great job with their developer evangelist program. I wonder if so
