Are the richest Americans the best educated? Working with data in protovis. For the past year or so I have been dabbling with protovis. I don’t have a heavy CS background but protovis is supposedly easy to pick up for people like me, who are vaguely aware that computers can make calculations but who need to check the manual for the most mundane programming instructions. I found was while it’s reasonnably easy to modify the most basic examples to make stuff happen, it is much harder to understand or adapt the more complex ones, let alone to create a fairly complex visualization. The stumbling block for me was the use of the method data.

Data is used to feed all the other protovis methods with, well, data. In the simplest examples, the data which is passed is very plain and simple and so easy to understand. But, for slightly more advanced uses, the shape of data is increasingly complex and the very powerful methods that protovis uses to process and reshape data are just out of reach for a noob. I split this tutorial in 5 parts. The protovis documentation.

So if you aren’t that in to CoffeeScript, check the new one out! Recently, the New York Times featured a bubble chart of the proposed budget for 2013 by Shan Carter . It features some nice, organic, animations, and smooth transitions that add a lot of visual appeal to the graphic. As FlowingData commenters point out , the use of bubbles may or may not be the best way to display this dataset. In this post, we attempt to tease out some of the details of how this graphic works. #Simple Animated Bubble Chart In order to better understand the budget visualization, I’ve created a similar bubble chart that displays information about what education-based donations the Gates Foundation has made.

You can see the full visualization here And the visualization code is on github The data for this visualization comes from the Washington Posts DataPost . Jim Vallandingham. Sentence Drawings Stefanie Posavec is known for her manually curated and hand drawn visualizations that illuminate variations of structure and form in great works of literature. In this remix, automation is used in place of thoughtful analysis to recreate a selection of her First Chapters, in which a layout technique she calls "sentence drawings" is used to display the first chapters of classic books.

Implemented in D3. Automatic Sentence Drawings Track Tag Love An experiment that allows users to explore their most-listened to songs, and the tags associated with these songs. User names are faked - but the rest of the data is real. Visualization includes a force-directed layout with tag nodes suspended in a circular orientation. Song nodes are drawn towards the tags they are associated with. Track Tag Love Dallas Neighborhood Comparison Tool This piece provides both scatter plot and interactive map, allowing the user to zoom in on one of over 500 neighborhoods in the metro area.

A Carefully Selected List of Recommended Tools on Datavisualization. When I meet with people and talk about our work, I get asked a lot what technology we use to create interactive and dynamic data visualizations. At Interactive Things, we have a set of preferred libraries, applications and services that we use regularly in our work. We will select the most fitting tool for the job depending on the requirements of the project. Sometimes a really simple tool is all you need to create something meaningful. On other occasions, a more multifaceted repertoire is needed. But how does one choose the right thing to use? That’s why we have put together a selection of tools that we use the most and that we enjoy working with.

Blog Archive » Return of the Facebook Snatchers. First and foremost: if you want to cut to the chase, just download the torrent. If you want the full story, please read on.... Background Way back when I worked at Symantec, my friend Nick wrote a blog that caused a little bit of trouble for us: Attack of the Facebook Snatchers. I was blog editor at the time, and I went through the usual sign off process and, eventually, published it. Why do I bring this up? My first idea was simple: spider the lists, generate first-initial-last-name (and similar) lists, then hand them over to @Ithilgore to use in Nmap's awesome new bruteforce tool he's working on, Ncrack. Once I have the name and URL of a user, I can view, by default, their picture, friends, information about them, and some other details. The lists Which brings me to the next topic: the list! The results were spectacular. 171 million names (100 million unique).

Open Positions. Open Positions. The Coding Interview. Note: this part is part two of our series on doing your best in interviews.

Part one: “How to Rock an Algorithms Interview”. Here at Palantir algorithms are important, but code is our lifeblood. We live and die by the quality of the code we ship. It’s no surprise, then, that coding ability is what we stress the most in our interview process. A candidate can get by with mediocre algorithm skills (depending on the role), but no one can skimp on coding. Suppose you’re confident in your ability to write great software.

This is easier said than done. First, though, we’d like to give you a sense for what we look for during a coding interview. With our evaluation criteria in mind, here are some suggestions we hope will help you perform at your very best. Before you start coding Make sure you understand the problem. While you’re coding Think out loud. Once you have a solution Think about edge cases. As an addendum, here are a few suggestions for books we like about the art of software construction: Killer App | People & Politics. Illustration by Pop Chart Lab, popchartlab.com. Read this article in our February 2012 issue on sale now. On the afternoon of February 15, 2011, Jaime Zapata, a 32-year-old special agent with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, was shot to death by members of a drug cartel as he drove along a four-lane highway in Mexico.

Zapata’s partner, 38-year-old Victor Avila, who survived the attack, later said that as many as 15 gunmen opened fire with automatic rifles, even though Zapata had identified himself as a diplomat and the armored SUV in which the pair was riding bore license plates identifying it as an official vehicle. Back in Washington, senior administration officials wanted revenge for what they saw as the deliberate killing of a federal agent and the attempted murder of another. To conduct what became known as Operation Fallen Hero, investigators turned to a little-known Silicon Valley software company called Palantir Technologies.

Social Media Security » Social Zombies Gone Wild: Totally Exposed and Uncensored. Maltego 3: First Look. Tutorial by Wardell Motley Maltego, developed by Roelof Temmingh, Andrew Macpherson and their team over at Paterva, is a premier information gathering tool that allows you to visualize and understand common trust relationships between entities of your choosing. Currently Maltego 3 is available for Windows and Linux. There is also an upcoming version for Apple users that has yet to be released.

Information gathering is a vital part of any penetration test or security audit, and it’s a process that demands patience, concentration and the right tool to be done correctly. In our case Maltego 3 is the tool for the job. In this article we explore Maltego 3 and examine its fundamental features and a little hands-on with the newly designed version. If you haven’t already had a chance to upgrade to or pick up Maltego 3 you are missing out. Maltego comes in two flavors, a community edition and a commercial version. Being free, the Community Edition is the version of choice for this tutorial. Maltego 3 > Maltego Client > Download. Www.securityg33k.com/blog/ 44Con Trip report Last week I attended the UK security conference, 44Con. I went into 44Con feeling a little jaded with the overall security community, but left with a real spring in my step. There are many very approachable and knowledgeable people doing some amazing work.

It’s easy to forget if you focus on the minority of the community who bring arrogance and elitism to the table in large amounts. 44Con is now in its second year and is shaping up into a very nice conference indeed. For me the key points were A local conference with great, high quality content.Value for money (at ~£300 its cheap if you’re based near London).4* venue in central London (with lunch and free coffee provided).Access to speakers. If you’re in the UK, it will be worth checking out in 2013 (as will BSides London ). In terms of talks, these were the highlights for me: Terrorism, tracking, privacy and human interactions: (Daniel Cuthbert and Glenn Wilkinson of Sensepost) Other notable talks… Conclusions. Ben fry.
