Better world maps for mobile!
Despite years of mobile-first design, there’s been little experimentation in this area. So we designed our own at NZZ – and validated it in a large user study.

1/5 This is how we lived “Expanded voices” at #Sónar+D 🙌

Through two experiences we present how we take ownership of virtuality, we become information that can be molded, replicated and transferred beyond our physical self, separating attributes such as our voice from our body.

My first MOOCs (2012-2018) helped a new generation of #dataViz creators. I hope that the new one —every year beginning in December 2025— will do the same.
I'm launching a completely new open and free online course in early December, along with the first batch of video courses for openvisualizationacademy.org I'll announce the (long!) list of (great!) contributors very soon #dataViz 📊
Who here took @albertocairo.com's MOOC on dataviz 📊 back in the fall of 2012?

Years ago, on the old platform, we realized that so many of us who now have a career in dataviz were there.

Reply to this thread if you took part. 👇 🧵

Fossil fuel companies should be forced to pay the public trillions in damages for the costs of their planetary arson. Instead they are trying to shut down one of the most important and storied environmental groups in the world. It's shameless - and it's not over. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Lo sangrante es esto:

"Más de la mitad de los seleccionados para formar parte del jurado que ha fallado en contra de Greenpeace tenían vínculos con el negocio de los combustibles y opiniones negativas hacia las protestas contra los oleoductos o los grupos de presión que participan en ellas"

This interesting chart by @latent.space says that AI performance is proportional to log(money) -- which means that investing more money in compute is a lot less efficient than investing in making a better algorithm, which is what DeepSeek did (full post: www.latent.space/p/reasoning-... )
