GNOSIS. Principles of Chaos Engineering. Authoritarians Distract Rather than Debate - Marginal REVOLUTION. It’s long been known that the Chinese government hires people to support the government with fabricated posts on social media.

Authoritarians Distract Rather than Debate - Marginal REVOLUTION

In China these people are known as the “50c party”, so called because the posters were rumored to be paid 50 cents (5 jiao or about $.08) to write the posts. Site-deaths - IndieWeb. From IndieWeb Site deaths.

Guest Articles: Greening Digital Finance

With the help of digital finance, urbane consumers can glide gracefully and seamlessly through their shopping experiences, migrants far from home can move hard-earned money cheaply to their families, small businesses can access credit lines in minutes through big data-driven profiling, and savers can navigate their investment opportunities with pinpoint accuracy. Will digital finance, then, deliver an all-purpose public good, or do we first need to manage possible constraints or even downsides? A new generation of intermediaries are reinventing the financial system, breaking down the old value chains with its many profit-taking intermediaries.

New financial technologies have earned moral credentials by enabling low-cost financial inclusion. Now, they are in the early stages of being used to build bridges between financial and environmental benefits. The prize could be very large. Human Dimensions. Overview ARIES is a web-based technology offered to users worldwide to assist rapid ecosystem service assessment and valuation (ESAV).

Human Dimensions

Its purpose is to make environmental decisions easier and more effective. ARIES helps discover, understand, and quantify environmental assets and what factors influence their values, in a geographical area and according to needs and priorities set by its users. Deep Learning Nanodegree Foundation. What is a “Nanodegree Foundation program,” and how does it differ from your existing Nanodegree programs?

Deep Learning Nanodegree Foundation

A Nanodegree Foundation program is designed to facilitate your entry into a particular arena of study, with the goal of ensuring that you establish your “foundations” in the field. Depending on your longer-term goals, a Foundation program can enable you to enhance an existing skillset, move forward into deeper and/or more advanced academic studies, or prepare for a career move that requires a fuller understanding of certain technologies and concepts. How do I know if this program is right for me? This program offers an excellent introduction to the world of Deep Learning—a transformational technology that is going to reshape our future, and drive amazing new innovations in AI.

Santa's sleigh uses a very high-precision clock to guide its movements, and the clock's oscillator is regulated by stars.

Day 1 - Advent of Code 2016

Unfortunately, the stars have been stolen... by the Easter Bunny. To save Christmas, Santa needs you to retrieve all fifty stars by December 25th. Collect stars by solving puzzles. Two puzzles will be made available on each day in the advent calendar; the second puzzle is unlocked when you complete the first. Each puzzle grants one star. GeoJSON Path Finder - Serverless, offline routing in the browser. GeoJSON Path Finder is a standalone JavaScript library for routing/path finding using GeoJSON as input.

GeoJSON Path Finder - Serverless, offline routing in the browser

It can run offline in the browser without any server, or as a part of a Node.js application. It is ideal for simpler use cases where a more complete routing engine like OSRM or GraphHopper is overkill or not possible. Given a road network in the form of a GeoJSON FeatureCollection of LineString features, the library builds a routable graph which can perform fast shortest path searches.

Plugins - Leaflet - a JavaScript library for interactive maps. Leaflet Plugins While Leaflet is meant to be as lightweight as possible, and focuses on a core set of features, an easy way to extend its functionality is to use third-party plugins.

Plugins - Leaflet - a JavaScript library for interactive maps

Thanks to the awesome community behind Leaflet, there are literally hundreds of nice plugins to choose from. Tile & image layers The following plugins allow loading different maps and provide functionality to tile and image layers. Leaflet - a JavaScript library for interactive maps. GEOS. GEOS (Geometry Engine - Open Source) is a C++ port of the ​Java Topology Suite (JTS).

GEOS

As such, it aims to contain the complete functionality of JTS in C++. This includes all the ​OpenGIS Simple Features for SQL spatial predicate functions and spatial operators, as well as specific JTS enhanced topology functions. GEOS is available under the terms of ​GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL), and is a project of ​OSGeo. Capabilities Include ¶ Geometries: Point, LineString, Polygon, MultiPoint, MultiLineString, MultiPolygon, GeometryCollection Predicates: Intersects, Touches, Disjoint, Crosses, Within, Contains, Overlaps, Equals, Covers Operations: Union, Distance, Intersection, Symmetric Difference, Convex Hull, Envelope, Buffer, Simplify, Polygon Assembly, Valid, Area, Length, Prepared geometries (pre-spatially indexed) STR spatial index OGC Well Known Text (WKT) and Well Known Binary (WKB) encoders and decoders.

Download ¶ GEOFABRIK // Consulting. OpenStreetMap is a young and very dynamic project. The community is evolving, new software and services are introduced and lots of new data is collected. The Geofabrik staff are active members of the OpenStreetMap community. We work on the subject every day and are ideally suited to answer all your questions around OpenStreetMap. If you think about using OSM data in your own project, there is always the question whether the data is spatially complete enough and whether it contains the data and attributes in the right quality for your project.

Mapping the brain for neural activity controlling exploratory locomotion How does the brain control behavior when there is no guidance from the environment? Dunn et al., eLife, 2016 Left: path of a larval zebrafish spontaneously swimming in virtual reality. Middle: functionally identified neurons tuned to turning, overlaid with a map of spinal projection neurons. Right: activity of turning tuned neurons (green and magenta) and turning behavior (black). Extended depth of field light-sheet microscopy In collaboration with the Yuste lab we developed a system for random access light-sheet imaging: Quirin et al., Optics Letters, 2016.

Whole-brain imaging and virtual reality We developed a system for performing whole-brain, neuron-level recordings of the brains of larval zebrafish behaving in virtual reality: Vladimirov et al., Nature Methods, 2014.

Semantic annotation is the process of attaching additional information to various concepts (e.g. people, things, places, organizations etc) in a given text or any other content.

Unlike classic text annotations for reader’s reference, semantic annotations are used by machines to refer to. When a document (or another piece of content, e.g. video) is semantically annotated it becomes a source of information that is easy to interpret, combine and reuse by our computers. If you are looking to provide high-quality content at low costs you should read our white paper on Dynamic Semantic Publishing.
