Apologies is this is already made clear on the site -- struggling to load at the moment.
Does anyone know if this dataset has already been pre-filtered by some computer vision algorithm to weed out the uninteresting images? If not, is there any way to get hold of the data directly so we can process it offline?
Couldn't Google's Project Shield be a nice gesture here for sites that are doing 'the good thing' when they're succumbing under the (positive) attention? It's meant as a DDoS protection measure, but the actual outcome is pretty much the same, namely that the original server can't handle the load and can only offer spotty service or no service at all.
They've done other things after disaster struck, and it'd prove both their kindness, prowess and the sturdyness of their infrastructure. Additionally, the site in question would probably fare better, giving people more incentive to participate and (hopfeully) deliver faster results than they're getting now.
