  • Observable 2.0, a static site generator for data apps
    17 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Feb 2024
    I think the idea of Framework is really good, but static data limits the applications, excluding monitoring and other cases in which the data is constantly changing, but the dashboard can stay as it is. For example, I'd love to see a revamped Framework version of the LHC beam monitor and related pages (see https://op-webtools.web.cern.ch/vistar/, but check again in 2 months or so, when the accelerator will be running).

    In high-energy physics, ROOT is /the/ toolkit for data analysis, and I guess jsROOT (https://root.cern.ch/js/) could also be used to load data to be shown in Framework dashboards. I thought the idea of Framework as a blogging engine with powerful data visualization built-in could be very interesting. Think, for example, about physicists pulling open data (https://opendata.cern.ch) and writing about their analysis or someone pulling data from https://ourworldindata.org/ in their own visualizations to support their case while writing about a particular subject, etc.

    Maybe I am putting too much energy into a comment you didn't really think about much, but "humans don't tend to be helpful" is really not accurate. If you disagree, please read some stats about the state of the world and try to draw conclusions from those. News is incentivized to paint a (misleadingly) grim picture.
  • Study: Soaring Excess Deaths Linked to High Vaccination Rates
    2 projects | /r/DebateVaccines | 21 Feb 2023
    Anyway since you say 200 countries sing the same tune, I guess we can then take the data from https://ourworldindata.org/ for all 220 countries that have data on for example total deaths per million and total vaccine doses per million and we should clearly see a negative correlation between deaths and vaccinations across countries, scaling for population. Yes?

  • Global warming above 2°C: How concerned should we be?
    2 projects | /r/climatechange | 4 Feb 2023
    I had a more elaborate answer, but my Firefox crashed, so here's the short version: I don't think anybody can predict what the exact chance of humanity collapsing is. We don't really have anything to base this on. However, recent years have made me more optimistic again, as we have seen important trends in the right direction. For example, coal usage has peaked some years ago, renewables are not almost always cheaper than fossil fuels. Climate change is taking more and more seriously in politics. Is that enough? I don't know, but at least we finally started moving in the right direction. If you are not aware of it, I recommend "Our World in Data": https://ourworldindata.org/ They have nicely summarized much of this.
