Made me think of this much less elaborate city road layout analysis: https://geoffboeing.com/2018/07/comparing-city-street-orient...

hmmm, wonder if some sort of embeddings, or even graph embeddings can yield some interesting insights into 'similar cities in road networks'

It's a great post and would be worth submitting again in (say) 2 or 3 months, but for now it's a follow-up to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42426284, which is currently at #1 on the front page.

The best place for follow-up links is in the comments of the existing thread; otherwise we end up with repetition on the front page, which we try to avoid. That's why we downweight follow-up links, which I've done here.

If you want to email hn@ycombinator.com in a few months and remind me about this, I'll send you a repost invite for it. Those get a random placement on HN's front page (similar to the SCP - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308).

What is the criteria for inclusion in the list? I ask because of interesting omissions, such as Ottawa, capital of Canada, population over 1M; Fredericton, capital of NB (NB's most populous city is included, but not the capital)....

Just curious.
