The Triangle of Everything
"We’ve basically got it all worked out, except for small stuff, big stuff, hot stuff, cold stuff, fast stuff, heavy stuff, dark stuff, turbulence, and the concept of time.” - Zach Weinersmith Physicists often talk about the goal of finding a “Theory of Everything” that would connect all the current areas of knowledges. How does relativity work in the very small scale? How does quantum mechanics behaves in very hot temperatures? Our knowledge of how stars explode seems completely separate from the engineering of buildings, which is a completely separate field of knowledge on how particles decay and form atoms, which seems like a separate science from the origin of time. However nature seldom…
Visualization of Money Flows between DAO Wallets
Since we are right now discussing the DAO’s new request of funds to the working groups I think it would be a good opportunity to analyze how the DAO has spent it’s money so far. First of all, how much money has the DAO received so far? Money In There are multiple ways to tell this story, measuring value in ether, or dollars, at the current time or then. The method I will be using will be to account only for USDC, ETH (and WETH) transfers and measure them at the day of the transfer. Almost 100 million dollars. That’s taking all the ether and USDC transactions coming into the address wallet.ensdao.eth at the time of their transfer. That of course doesn’t tell the whole story: it ignores all…
Condorcet voting explained from a Graphic Designer's point of view
On a recent post I’ve written critically of Instant Run-off voting, mainly criticizing it for being too complex to visualize the full state of the vote and that’s unintuitive to figure out the winner without tallying up all the votes in your head. I’ve also given a few examples in which the vote result could change drastically by a few voters changing their strategies as well as an example that in a typical race where the most popular candidates were extreme opposites, then the moderate candidates in the middle would be squeezed out. Hard to predict, hard to understand and prone to surprising results: those are the opposite qualities you want from a voting system. Often the rebuttal is…
A map of all ENS contracts
This is a work in progress and continuation of an earlier thread about threat assessments. ENS is made of many contracts and this is an attempt to clarify. It’s also has been a great understanding path for me to get more acquainted with all the governance changes. But most importantly it answers the question: what is the worst that can happen with my names? Let’s start at the ENS Registry itself. This is the most important contract, the root of where ownership exists, you can even notice this by the care that was taken in choosing an address with lots of 0s. This makes it harder to spoof and creates tiny gas savings. It’s the contract deployed on all chains including for testing. It’s a…
Diagram, Infographs etc
To make the complex visible. to make novel information understandable, with minimal or no words at all. The following are a series of infographs, diagrams and maps that tries to show a different view of things you are used to see. Some where made just for the fun of it. some where donated to wikipedia’s open commons and there where selected by the community as the best of the crop*. Many made their own way to graduation thesis and books in europe, books on photography and a lecture in MIT. Human world migrations Based on a buckminster fuller world map that has almost no distortion on land based distances, this is a map of the how, when and why humans colonized the world, based on…
Alchemy of Juices
Experiment the Alchemy! Can we map something as subjective as tastes? Alchemy of juices is a interactive infograph that is helps to choose a juice made with various fruits, by selecting either the fruits, the feeling or the taste. At the same time it tries to foresse those tastes and feelings of juices you mix there, based on user input from previous juices. Just as an alchemic diagram it’s about being a somewhat misterious but beautiful infograph. Yes, we’ve got bananas, and thousands of other tropical fruits. And it is not amazing that in any casual restaurant in Rio de Janeiro you may ask to mix peanuts, banana, and amazonian fruits like Guaraná and Açaí. Best of all, they’ve got…
