I had to vent somewhere where people would understand.

The site is still driving me mad. I'm at McMurdo Station, Antarctica, and the satellite bandwidth is generally fairly adequate. I actually completed the application Nov 4th in just under 3 hours I believe. But I removed it thinking it was broken, and the past couple of days I've gotten just a couple of questions completed in the income section before getting an error. I believe it's due to an upload timeout. I opened Chrome's developer tools and watched the Network tab. Would you believe this...!?



That size is not what was sent to the server. For that I "Copied as curl" and saved it to disk.

Code:

mute@thedoctor:~$ wc < curl.txt
     0    240 829959
mute@thedoctor:~$ jshon < curl.txt | wc
  29078   56143 1056540

With every single click, my browser uploads 24,286 variables totaling 811KB!

Oh and I had a laugh at a typo in there:

Code:

      "telephonePlace": {
       "telephoneCountry": {
        "elephoneCountryName": null,
