Dillon Marsh - Gold
▻http://dillonmarsh.comThe Witwatersrand Basin is a 300km long geological formation in South Africa that holds the world’s largest known gold reserves. Since its discovery in 1886, seven separate gold fields have been established along its arc. Using CGI I’ve represented the total amount extracted from a gold field in a single photograph. The rest of the photos provide context.

R Package for Analyzing John Snow’s 1854 Cholera Data

https://github.com/lindbrook/cholera/raw/master/man/figures/README-walk-1.png The second method, which actually follows Snow’s lead, computes neighborhoods based on the “actual” walking distance along the streets of Soho. While more accurate, it is computationally more demanding to compute than Voronoi tessellation.

Why Even the Hyperloop Probably Wouldn’t Change Your Commute Time - The New York Times
▻https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/10/upshot/why-even-the-hyperloop-probably-wouldnt-change-your-commute-time.html
https://static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics/2017/08/07/30minutesphillymap/ca624bd309f292ea7e4d5bbf8cf461278bfa9e32/30mincommute-600.png The general law of the 30-minute commute is known as Marchetti’s constant, named for the Italian physicist Cesare Marchetti, a mentor to Mr. Ausubel. Mr. Marchetti picked up the work of Yacov Zahavi, a transportation engineer who theorized in the 1970s and ’80s that people have a fixed travel-time budget. We allocate part of our day to getting around. And that amount, about an hour, Mr. Zahavi argued, holds steady no matter where we live or how we travel.
(…)
“What we’re going to see with some of these new proposals is not necessarily that cities will grow much bigger,” Mr. Ratti said. “But we’re going to see two cities become one, in terms of culture, in terms of the labor market, in terms of universities.”

Chez les hackeurs, l’arrestation du « héros » de WannaCry ravive la crainte des autorités

Beaucoup de hackeurs ont été inquiétés, par exemple après des plaintes d’entreprises dont ils avaient repéré des failles de sécurité.
En France, l’« affaire Kitetoa », puis Bluetouff, sont deux exemples de condamnations d’internautes pour « piratage » – le premier ayant été relaxé en appel – pour avoir pénétré dans des systèmes censés être protégés mais laissés grands ouverts.

When Silicon Valley Took Over the ’New Republic’ - The Atlantic
▻https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/09/when-silicon-valley-took-over-journalism/534195
https://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/media/img/2017/07/DIS_Tech_TNR_lead/facebook.jpg?1501096696 A memorable yet utterly forgettable example: A story about a Minnesota hunter killing a lion named Cecil generated some 3.2 million stories. Virtually every news organization—even The New York Times and The New Yorker—attempted to scrape some traffic from Cecil. This required finding a novel angle, or a just novel enough angle. Vox: “Eating Chicken Is Morally Worse Than Killing Cecil the Lion.” BuzzFeed: “A Psychic Says She Spoke With Cecil the Lion After His Death.” TheAtlantic.com: “From Cecil the Lion to Climate Change: A Perfect Storm of Outrage One-upmanship.”
In some ways, this is just a digitally enhanced version of an old-fashioned media pile-on. But social media amplify the financial incentive to join the herd.
(…) Trump began as Cecil the lion and ended up president of the United States.
