Please note that the madness in that thread is not my doing. Apparently I have a stalker, who decided to say that it's good that I'm leaving by saying that I'm a dick.

London was set on fire? Wasn't that Nero, in Rome?

...and, I was just reminded of a class on data visualization where we studied an old map of London. Apparently, there was an epidemic of cholera in London, and by plotting the cases on a map, they managed to see that they happened more often around water wells.

Here, from wikipedia:

One of the major contributions to fighting cholera was made by the physician and pioneer medical scientist John Snow (1813–1858), who in 1854 found a link between cholera and contaminated drinking water.[47] Dr. Snow proposed a microbial origin for epidemic cholera in 1849. In his major "state of the art" review of 1855, he proposed a substantially complete and correct model for the etiology of the disease. In two pioneering epidemiological field studies, he was able to demonstrate human sewage contamination was the most probable disease vector in two major epidemics in London in 1854.[64] His model was not immediately accepted, but it was seen to be the more plausible, as medical microbiology developed over the next 30 years or so.

Fuck yeah, John Snow. Fighting white walkers, wildlings and cholera.

 

[Tsotha]

Here, look at this image. Beautiful data visualization by John Snow. Those black bars (on the map) show the numbers of deaths at each household. Isn't it amazing that he could arrive at such a conclusion (that there was a disease being spread from the water) without knowing about microbes?

A game of thrones affectionado. If you leave I'll call you a dick for letting they that shall remain nameless win.

that almost looks sig-worthy!

hehehehe - i've read some of the Games of Thrones but haven't watched the series at all - a few clips put me off. i should really watch this stuff before i read any of it if i'm to enjoy it better

he was a smart guy. plottings on maps show higher levels of incidence and by marrying that to where the pumps were etc etc etc (..., <- obligatory ellipses) and he drew conclusions.

ah, thankyou thankyou mister x
better one of those days than no days at all

get some in ya *pours dividend*

 

[Tsotha]

Oh, this one is so beautiful... It shows the trajectory of Napoleon toward Moscow, and the line's diminishing width shows the size of his army getting lower. The brown line shows the army advancing on Moscow, the black line shows the retreat, showing how the sub-zero temperatures inflicted losses... This map manages to show the size of the army, the temperature and the geographic trajectory.

Alright, I should stop geeking right about now.

yeah, but the books hold a little more je ne sais quoi

don't mind if i do x

*waits for chanted response...*



edit: i was joking! i do know it's je ne c'est quoi - just' playin' about with sight and sound. torch me.

heh, or there's this clip from rush hour - ok, i did bing it but it came up a youtube clip

ok, jackie chan still makes me laugh my socks off signing that.

oh, harry - didya see him in the remake of the karate kid? now that was a brilliant remake - with jaden smith (will smith's kid) - and there's a scene they do together, almost wordless, makes me cry
