Artwork: Tamar Cohen, Happy Motoring, 2010, silk screen on vintage road map, 26" x 18" “You can’t manage what you don’t measure.” There’s much wisdom in that saying, which has been attributed to both W. Edwards Deming and Peter Drucker, and it explains why the recent explosion of digital data is so important.
Simply put, because of big data, managers can measure, and hence know, radically more about their businesses, and directly translate that knowledge into improved decision making and performance. Consider retailing. Booksellers in physical stores could always track which books sold and which did not. If they had a loyalty program, they could tie some of those purchases to individual customers. The familiarity of the Amazon story almost masks its power. As the tools and philosophies of big data spread, they will change long-standing ideas about the value of experience, the nature of expertise, and the practice of management.
What’s New Here? Volume. Velocity. SciPy - Arbor.js. Node-Link Tree. The tree layout implements the Reingold-Tilford algorithm for efficient, tidy arrangement of layered nodes. The depth of nodes is computed by distance from the root, leading to a ragged appearance. Cartesian orientations are also supported. Implementation based on work by Jeff Heer and Jason Davies using Buchheim et al. ’s linear-time variant of the Reingold-Tilford algorithm.

Sharism is a term for the motivation and philosophy behind the collaborative building of value that results from sharing content and ideas. Inspired by user-generated content, Sharism states that the act of sharing something within a community produces a proper value for each of its participants: "the more you share, the more you receive".[1] As knowledge is produced through crowdsourcing, this new kind of shared ownership leads to the production of goods and services where value is distributed through the contributions of everyone involved.
History of the term[edit] Sharism has been particularly focused in China in order to promote the Open Web and combat internet censorship.[3] Notable proponents of Sharism as both a term and practice have included Larry Lessig and Ou Ning. In 2012, Sharism Lab has been created with the purpose of providing experimental and theoretical background for a real-world implementation of Sharism.[9] Criticism[edit] Datavisualization.ch Selected Tools.

In honor of the the release of Firefox 3, I’m releasing ContextFree.js today, along with the demo site Algorithm Ink. ContextFree.js is about drawing striking images—and making art—with minimal amounts of code. An introduction to ContextFree.js & Algorithm Ink Go ahead and play with it on Algorithm Ink. It has goodies like a gallery to see other people’s art, the ability to view the source-code of any piece of art, and the ability to save the art to your desktop with a single right-click (that comes along for free, more on this in a second).
It works best in Firefox 3, but should also work in Opera and Safari. The inspiration and kick-in-the-pants motivation for this project came from the always-excellent John Resig (also of Mozilla) finally releasing Processing.js. ContextFree.js is a port of Context Free Art by Chris Coyne. One of the great things about using open-web standards is that it plays nicely with user expectations.
