Agreed. I am really struggling distinguishing one line from the next. And moving the flagged email icon to the end of the line means I no longer register the flags. This new UI is unusable for me.

Option 2: Post on Google Maps community forums. Yes, it will be a duplicate issue. The point is sending a message.

As an American with a less than American sounding last name, I refuse to make assumptions.

In America, we don’t pledge loyalty under threat of consequence.

Ooh.. that's encouraging. When I think of non-techies, I tend to think of my parents first, who are very wary of most of the web. (Probably because I gave them both stern lectures about internet security.)

Thank you! I appreciate that.

I know this is what torrents are for, but my goal is for the archives to be accessible to the average (non-techy) user.

Are there any sys admins or big data people who would like to help? I am a developer, but mostly focus on front-end to "middle". I need an expert partner if this is going to work.

Scraping has been an issue. I've been using the Wayback Machine Downloader tool (on several recommendations). It's been downloading for 20 hours and is only 11.74% complete.

Part of the issue is the Wayback Machine is relatively slow, so this can't be helped, but this method is not scalable.

On this project, for each site, we need to:

1. Scrape and download the content from the Wayback Machine from a "safe" date. I've been using January 29.
2. Store the data. I'm expecting terrabytes of data.
3. Serve the sites from a host that can handle this amount of data and potential traffic.

Yes. And scraping the massive amount of data on these sites is a slow process. I'm quickly realizing we need more than 1 person on this.

I think the biggest thing I need right now is a sys admin who can help me with the more technical aspects of this. I'm more of a front-end person. I'm going to need help with big data issues related to this. (CDC alone is *a lot* of content.)
