Zhang Yimou

One of the most interesting things web 2.0 has given me is a healthy disrespect for all things pretending to be authoritative. And Wikipedia has been one of my most reliable professors. I’m not sure where the Zhang Yimou Exploit

Weapons of Math Destruction

Kathy O’Neil [ 7 JUN 2015 | Data Literacy| 12:15 ] Imagine that you’re seeing Mathematics. I stole this from my husband’s desk yesterday. Mathematicians use notation like that — hope you can see it — because mathematicians are lazy.

Spambot Due Diligence

Those of you familiar with Ronson’s work will know parts of this talk like the back of their hand, but this is the tube where he zooms in on a rather extraordinary phenomenon currently finding shelter in the academic community.

VISIBILITY @ 10KFT

The classification codes at the Visible are based on Melvil Dewey’s Decimal Classification Codes (DCC).

Originally published in 1876, the same year Alexander Graham Bell applied for a patent for their telephone, Dewey’s Codes were originally designed to organize the library collections at Amherst College in Western Massachusetts.

At the time there were relatively few books in anyone’s collection anywhere, and the convention was to just put them on the shelf anywhere there was room, as they trickled in.

Dewey’s classic system, sporadically and often shyly evolved, is currently in use in an estimated 200,000 libraries across 135 countries worldwide. More than half of these, admittedly, are located in the United States (116,867) – but that means almost half of them are located elsewhere (42%).
