There is an assumption that the point of a protest is to "raise awareness" and "bring people over to your side". Some protests are like that, but certainly not all and maybe not even most.

Sometimes you do a march or a walkout to raise awareness for an issue or just to let people know that your movement exists.

But a labor strike is not there to "raise awareness". The primary purpose of a strike is to harm the company so that they give into a list of demands

Are you also attending @acm_chi and need a map to help you navigate the thousands of papers?

📣 I made a paper explorer for you!
Search by topic, drag to select regions and much more!

CHI 2024 papers explorer showing different topics, including Virtual Reality, Accessibility, Visualization etc. The application shows a scatterplot showcasing the papers by their similarities and highlighting with color the relevant papers. It also has a list of selected papers that changes with each selection

You can even recompute the embeddings directly in your browser 🤯, or recompute the dimensionality reduction using different algorithms and changing their parameters.

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

vis.social question: All of TVCG should count for the Vis category on CSrankings, no?

https://github.com/emeryberger/CSrankings/issues/7153

It doesn't seem to make sense to add each edition of the journal in piecemeal as people make PRs

@janeadams if you want all full paper Vis content together, this dataset includes it all: https://sites.google.com/site/vispubdata/data-details. I also explain the complicated history. I'm currently working on an update to add the 2023 papers.

Birdbassador,

@dr_pi @janeadams

It's also confusing not just one:many with TVCG (where a TVCG regular queue paper can
be presented at one of many conferences: https://www.computer.org/digital-library/journals/tvcg/tvcg-partners-with-conferences, but also VIS is many:one, where work that was in not just TVCG but also CG&A or TOG can end up presented at VIS: https://ieeevis.org/year/2024/info/call-participation/partnerships

There is so much bad here that I hardly know where to start.

If you are a professor, this is an excellent design exercise: improve this. I'm sure ANY student could make this far simpler and easier to use.

I have a short video using this that makes it ever more clear this was designed by a dysfunctional design team. This is a if you're curious.

I finished my sweater the other day. I had several odd 100g of fibre and wondered what I could do with them. This seemed like a good solution. I just need to weave in the ends 😂

Being an #immigrant academic is harder than what people think. I have to be on top of my game while juggling the complex immigration process and making sure that my family abroad and at home are being taken care of.

At this point, I consider myself a superhuman.

been wanting to make some plotter drawings to raise money for all the gaza gofundmes in my timelines so I started trying out the DEM-to-SVG approach with sentinel-1 data estimates of destroyed areas. Gaza's pretty flat so as terrain it doesn't quite have the same effect but the gaps are still a lot. This is a screenshot from a corner of Khan Younis.

ingrid,

I don't know if this is anything

Over on the Permacomputing mailing list, I just learned about this super cool project by @thentrythis:

> Last year I ran a workshop for disadvantaged families in Cornwall in the UK (a historic mining area) where we smashed rocks, collected crystals from mine waste, built semiconductors out of them, plugged them into cardboard circuit boards and made synthesisers: https://thentrythis.org/notes/2023/11/17/organised-atoms-at-flamm-festival-redruth/

A toast to our Northeastern PhD graduates Laura South, Justin Raynor, and David Saffo! We couldn't have asked for better weather for this year's hooding ceremony 🌞 Laura is off to teach at Williams College; Justin is working for the NSA; and David is a VP of Immersive Analytics at JPMorgan

Congrats also to @janeadams for earning the Khoury College Service Award 🌷

A happy family; dad Justin in his phd graduation regalia

Let me explain this real slow.

  1. I borrow $100 from you today.
  2. I pay you $10 every day for a year.
  3. I have paid you back $3,650
  4. I still owe you $90 somehow.
  5. You then "forgive" the $90 debt.

In this scenario, absolutely nobody is paying anybody $90. Nobody is being stiffed $90. Nobody is being forced to pay someone else's $90 debt. Absolutely nobody is "getting a $90 handout for free".

What's happening is you have been paid back your original $100 and then profited a mere $3,550 on top of that and we're saying that's enough profit.

This post is about student loan forgiveness.
