40 must-see vídeos about data visualization and infographics Our selection of keynotes, TED Talks and interviews by some of the top names in the field (The Joy of Stats, by Hans Rolling, one of the must-see videos) After the success of our collection of data visualization presentations a few weeks ago, we decided to push even further our research of multimedia resources and take the risk of selecting some videos. And we say risk, because the abundance of data visualization videos on the Internet is simply mind-blowing. Just think about it: How many events are there about information visualization? That means that a lot of good stuff was left behind, so apologies for that – but feel free to leave your recommendations in the comments section. [Update: We are receiving some great suggestions of other videos worth watching, so we'll keep growing this list. Journalism in the Age of Data The famous video by Geoff McGhee. The Data Journalism Handbook Shan Carter | Geoff McGhee | Edward Segel at Data Vis Meetup Another classic. Jer Thorp: Make data more human
OneSwarm : du P2P au F2F pour une vie privée renforcée - PC INpa Une équipe de chercheurs de l’Université de Washington développe actuellement un client d’échange de fichier nommé OneSwarm. Il est rétrocompatible Bittorrent, mais possède surtout une panoplie d’outils F2F ou Friend to Friend (ami à ami) permettant d’échanger loin des yeux et du cœur de systèmes surveillés. « Bien que largement utilisées, les applications peer-to-peer (P2P) sont limitées par des risques d’atteinte au respect de la vie privée des utilisateurs. Par conception, les services comme BitTorrent, Gnutella partagent des données avec tous ceux qui en font la demande, permettant à une tierce partie de suivre systématiquement le comportement de l'utilisateur. « OneSwarm ne sait protéger la vie privée de l’utilisateur qu’avec l’option F2F » précisent les concepteurs de la solution qui prennent soin cependant de préciser à plusieurs reprises que l’anonymat absolu n’est jamais possible.
How many of your health supplements are actually snake oil? Kinja is in read-only mode. We are working to restore service. Calcium (Promising) needs Vit D (Strong) in order to work. Probably a lot of these are not based on combination but stand alone benefits. As someone who has a disease with nutrient absorption issues, taking extra vitamins is about the best I can do because I can't shove enough food through my system to get the nutrients out. Flagged Roambi - Beautiful Mobile Data Visualization Apps 37 Data-ish Blogs You might not know it, but there are actually a ton of data and visualization blogs out there. I'm a bit of a feed addict subscribing to just about anything with a chart or a mention of statistics on it (and naturally have to do some feed-cleaning every now and then). In a follow up to my short list last year, here are the data-ish blogs, some old and some new, that continue to post interesting stuff. Data and Statistics By the Numbers - Column from The New York Times visual Op-ed columnist, Charles Blow, who also used to be NYT's graphics director.Data Mining - Matthew Hurst, scientist at Microsoft's MSN, also the co-creator of BlogPulse.Statistical Modeling - We might disagree on certain things, but Andrew's blog is one of the few active pure statistics blogs.The Numbers Guy - Data-minded reporting from Carl Bialik of the Wall Street Journal.Basketball Geek - Like statistical analysis and basketball?
