Snake Oil version 2

Snake Oil version 2

vía Information Is Beautiful de david el 11/05/11

We've updated SnakeOil, our interactive "balloon race" visualization of the scientific evidence for over 100 nutritional supplements.

This Flash app coded by the awesome Andy Perkins is generated from the data in this spreadsheet: http://bit.ly/SnakeOil2 – lovingly curated by researcher Miriam Quick.

What Have We Done?

We've revised the data from top to bottom. That included processing over 300 emails from visitors who offered evidence, fresh studies and often angry criticism of our ratings. People invested in Fish Oil & Omega 3? Chill out! (Maybe try smoking some of that fish oil?)

We've also factored in a bunch of new studies from the last year. Revised our categories. And added a series of new supplements including: chromium, rhodiola rosea L., grape seed extract, coconut oil and melatonin.

We also worked with the Cochrane Institute to help improve our library searches and study sources.

See exactly what's changed in our change log.
(Note: the still image version is still using old data as I haven't had time to update it yet.)

SnakeOil Analytics

We've had analytics running on the app over the last 6 months. That's allowed us to track the exact way people use the viz and which supps they explore.

• visitors: 750,000
• visitors who interacted: 220,000 (30%)
• most popular filter (by a long way): sex (followed by cancer, anti-viral and mental health)
• most popular supplements (above the worth-it-line): green tea, fish oil, vitamin D, St John's wort, probiotics
• most popular supplements (below the worth-it-line): devil's claw, L-lysine, L-carnitine, lutein, CoQ10, goji (hmmm, lot of body-building supps there)

Help Us Improve This

As ever, if you see a good, solid randomized-controlled trial or meta-study, or an error in our data – or just want to rag us for rating Fish Oil so low, do get in touch or comment below!

Nevada bill would take hands-free to a new level

vía Geeks are Sexy Technology News de JLister el 12/05/11

Google has hired a lobbyist to promote proposed laws that would allow cars without drivers to operate in Nevada.

The company has already developed vehicles using the technology and tested them extensively in California. The new laws would make Nevada the first state where such vehicles are formally allowed on public roads. (The company believes its California tests were legal as they allowed the human driver to override any errors.)

The Google system involves a combination of the cars using Google's own maps and traffic data to figure out routes and drive within the prevailing speed limit, and a suite of sensors, cameras and radar devices to keep track of the position and movements of surrounding objects.

This isn't the only such project in the works. A European research project tested in Sweden involves electronically controlled vehicles syncing with one another to form an automated convoy on major roads, with the front vehicle controlling movement and speed.

Google hasn't said publicly why it has targeted Nevada for the first state to allow the cars. My guess is it's a combination of the state being known for relatively relaxed attitudes to many issues, and there's plenty of desert road where it may be easier to try scaling the number of driverless vehicles rather than in busy metropolitan areas.

As well as the bill to allow the vehicles, lobbyist David Goldwater is also working on a bill that would exempt the cars from rules banning texting by drivers. Both bills are expected to go to a vote next month.

(Picture via ted.com talk by Sebastian Thrun, who helped build the Google vehicle.)

GoPro HD Timelapse panning with kitchen timer de Jordi en Vimeo.

GoPro HD Timelapse panning with kitchen timer es un vídeo timelapse realizado con una cámara GoPro y un temporizado de cocina del todo a 100.

El resultado es la suma de una secuencia de fotografías tomadas cada dos segundos a lo largo de una hora. El movimiento rotatorio a lo largo del tiempo se consigue al estar la cámara montada sobre el temporizador de cocina. § Naturpixel.

Fotografía generativa

vía Fotografía Microsiervos de no-reply@microsiervos.com (Alvy) el 8/05/11

La fotografía generativa es una técnica consistente en proyectar imágenes sobre una pantalla, a cierto número de fotogramas por segundo, que se fotografían a continuación con una cámara, usando larga exposición, para producir un resultado final con efectos visuales.

En el blog de Ishac Bertran hay unas cuantas imágenes y explicaciones más detalladas; también hay un álbum de Flickr completo con los resultados de los experimentos.

Check out this absolutely stunning timelapse video from Quebec-based photographer Dominic Boudreault. I highly recommend that you guys put the vimeo player in full screen mode before hitting the play button.

I shot this timelapse montage from late 2010 through early 2011. One year in the making.

My goal was to show the duality between city and nature.

Locations include :

- Montreal, Quebec, Canada
- Quebec city, Quebec, Canada
- Toronto, Ontario, Canada
- Manhattan, New York, USA
- Chicago, Illinois, USA

Paperphone: A Phone with a Flexible Electronic Paper Display

vía Geeks are Sexy Technology News de Geeks are Sexy el 9/05/11

PaperPhone is the world's first nextgen, thin film smartphone and interactive paper computer. It is based on a 3.7″ flexible electrophoretic (E Ink) display that does not consume electricity when it is not refreshed. Thinfilm sensors allow the phone to respond to bending of the screen to navigate pages in ebooks, play or pause mp3s, make phone calls, or navigate apps. A flexible wacom tablet allows users to draw on the screen with a pen as if it were a sheet of paper.
