Nous vivons depuis longtemps sur la Terre, une accueillante petite planète d'un système stellaire parmi des milliards de milliards d'autres. Dans un univers qui vient de rien (on parle de fluctuation du vide) et qui a explosé il y a 13,7 milliards d'années, d'après notre dernière datation. Nous en avons conscience et nous nous posons des questions essentielles. Qu'est-ce que la vie ?
La fin programmée de la civilisation du gâchis. Réflection faite. De quoi est fait notre avenir? Quel avenir pour notre civilisation? Dates d'puisement des ressources naturelles de notre planète.
Corruption Perceptions Index
Overview of the index of perception of corruption, 2012. Since 1995, Transparency International (TI) publishes the Corruption Perceptions Index ( CPI ) annually ranking countries "by their perceived levels of corruption, as determined by expert assessments and opinion surveys." [ 1 ] The CPI generally defines corruption as "the misuse of public power for private benefit." [ 2 ] As of 2012 [update] , the CPI ranks 176 countries "on a scale from 100 (very clean) to 0 (highly corrupt)." [ 3 ] In prior years, the scale ran from 10 to 0.
Indice de Pareto
Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Nommé en l'honneur de l'économiste et sociologue italien Vilfredo Pareto , l'indice de Pareto est historiquement en économie une mesure de la distribution des revenus au sein d'une population. D'une manière plus générale et plus formelle, c'est un des paramètres de la loi de Pareto . Définition [ modifier ]Distribution of wealth
World Distribution of Wealth and Population in the Year 2000 The distribution of wealth is a comparison of the wealth of various members or groups in a society . It differs from the distribution of income in that it looks at the distribution of ownership of the assets in a society, rather than the current income of members of that society. [ edit ] Definition of wealth
Pay matters. How much you earn can determine your lifestyle, where you can afford to live, and your aspirations and status. But to what extent does what we get paid confer ‘worth’? Beyond a narrow notion of productivity, what impact does our work have on the rest of society, and do the financial rewards we receive correspond to this? Do those that get more contribute more to society?

Which African city tweets the most? Researchers at the Floating Sheep recently mapped geocoded tweets from eleven major African cities. They used tweets published in Accra, Cairo, Dar es Salaam, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Lagos, Tunis, Nairobi, Kigali, Mogadishu, and Addis Ababa throughout November 2012. The maps below display geocoded tweets in Nairobi and Cairo. Click here to see tweet maps of the other cities listed above. Note: These maps were also recently featured in The Guardian .

World population is estimated to be 6.9 billion people, and while that is a lot of people, it suddenly doesn't seem like that much in these maps by Tim De Chant of Per Square Mile . Simply imagine that the world lived with the same density of a real city, and see how much area they take up. If we all lived like they do in San Francisco (space-wise), we'd take up just under 398k square miles, or rather, only four states. Same density as New York? We'd all fit in Texas.

If the world lived in a single city
Depuis plus d’une dizaine d’années, la sociologue Dominique Méda critique les insuffisances du PIB . L’une des premières, elle a souligné l’incapacité de cet indicateur de richesse à tenir compte des inégalités, de la santé sociale et de la dégradation environnementale. La Vie des Idées a recueilli son analyse après la publication du rapport coordonné par Joseph Stiglitz, Amartya Sen et Jean-Paul Fitoussi.

5 Statistics Problems That Will Change The Way You See The World - Walter Hickey
Once the population of an office hits 366 people, it's a certainty that two people in your office have the same birthday, since there are only 365 possible days of birth. Still, assuming that each birth date (except February 29) is equally likely, it turns out that once your office has 57 people in it there is a 99% chance that two of them share a birthday. When there is 23 people, that probability is 50%. Here's why. Instead of calculating the probability that two people share a birthday, instead calculate the converse, probability that two people don't share a birthday.Economie : Stiglitz met l'individu au centre de l'économie
Le Figaro s'est procuré le rapport Stiglitz, qui doit être remis lundi au gouvernement. Dans ce document, la mission prône un changement complet de méthode de calcul des richesses des pays. C'était en février 2008.Forum pour d'autres indicateurs de richesse (FAIR) Suite à la constitution du Comité pour la mesure des performances économiques et du progrès social, dit Commission Stiglitz , les réseaux de la société civile qui ont déjà travaillé sur la question des nouveaux indicateurs de progrès « au-delà du PIB », dans une vision renouvelée de la richesse ou du développement humain durable, ont créé le collectif FAIR : forum pour d’autres indicateurs de richesse. L’Idies, qui s’est donné pour objectif de débattre de la qualité des sources et indicateurs statistiques, soutient bien entendu ce travail de réflexion. Il a donc proposé de mettre cet espace à la libre disposition de FAIR. | Initiative • FAIR, de quoi s'agit-il ?
