Checking out the Decode project: https://www.decodeproject.eu/. Loving their tagline:
"tools that put individuals in control of whether they keep their personal data private or share it for the public good" -

here's the story in English... #fediverse, what do you make of it, how will this end? Russia's government banning loads of IPs to stop Telegram, potentially disrupting other segments of the internet https://meduza.io/en/short/2018/04/17/here-s-how-many-ip-addresses-russia-has-blocked-to-cut-access-to-telegram https://social.giorgiocomai.eu/attachment/25435 -

Trying to block Telegram, Russian authorities ban large number of AWS IPs, lots of other websites and services stopped working. https://republic.ru/posts/90485 -

After scraping 40.000+pages of a website with a distinct 1990s look, here's my #dataviz "interactive exploration of cinema-goers' habits in Europe based on twenty years of data (1996-2016) on 40996 films."

My PhD thesis – What is the effect of non-recognition? The external relations of de facto states in the post-Soviet space – is now online and can be downloaded freely.
Aware of the limited allure of a 300-pages pdf file, I decided to outline in a blog post some key outcomes (not necessarily the conclusions), as well as some additional thoughts.

Among other things, instead of taking my responsibilities, I shamelessly "blame all shortcomings [in my research] to my becoming a parent in the early stages of this research." But I also argue that becoming a parent made me a better researcher. So go figure. -

Yes, I suppose. Also, it's intuitive... one click and you zoom in, one click anywhere and you're back from where you started. -

For the records, I'll most probably end up leaving out the zoomable sunburst (not intuitive enough for too many people, and pretty bad in conveying data), and instead opt for an adjusted zoomable circle packing. It ultimately gives a glimpse of the data, allows to explore individual cases, and serves its purpose of introducing some change in a product filled with barcharts https://giorgiocomai.eu/testzone/cinema/ZoomableCircle/index.html #dataviz #d3js https://social.giorgiocomai.eu/attachment/23966 -

liked in particular the one from the mozilla website. Interactive, but discretely so, nice. -

Agreed. Good point about a house symbol in the centre. But overall, too clunky for so much data, and ultimately difficult to read. I'll probably stick with the barchart this time. -

Here's how the zoomable sunburst looks:

- collapsible barchart (click on bar to zoom in, click on white space next to bar to zoom out): https://giorgiocomai.eu/testzone/cinema/barchart/
Not so funky, but much clearer and easier to explore (perhaps speeding up transitions, and slightly increasing font size)
Other suggestions?

Work in progress: what's the most effective way to show *all* cinema tickets sold across Europe:
[based on actual data for 2016]
- zoomable sunburst (click on slice to zoom in, click on centre to zoom out): https://giorgiocomai.eu/testzone/cinema/zoomLabels/
Funky, but not so clear, and slow on some hardware
