I (someone who knew nothing about cryptocurrency trading) followed these instructions and ended up with $3650 AUD in my bank account after all was said and done. Of course, some of you are more likely to put it to better use on the market, but I’m not one to look a gift horse in the mouth.
Thanks for posting this! Our team produced the story, and I also developed the story format and scroll-based visuals.
This required more code for gathering/processing than for the presentational aspects, but I enjoyed learning heaps about satellite imaging and fire front/burn scar visualisation in the process of pulling everything together.
I'm happy to answer any questions about it, or point you in the direction of sources/people know far more than I do.
I'd love to get some feedback on this, particularly what you found obvious/intuitive about the experience, and what confused/discouraged you.
Thanks!
For those unfamiliar with the term 'tweetstorm', it's the name given to the practice of posting multiple (numbered) tweets in a linked thread (usually by replying to yourself) to share longer thoughts.
It's a bit of a clunky process, so I've tried to take away some of the discomfort with Ramble On.
We don't write software in a vaccum. When we come up against barriers of language understanding (and this is something EVERYONE will face), we seek help from the community to break through and eventually wield that language more effectively, and thus make better software with it.
The community you're joining will greatly affect how competent you become in their respective language, so anyone who partially bases their language choice on community is being completely logical.
Here's another visualisation I put together, based on the same data collected on Wikipedia. It tries to mix a narrative with the growing number of cases/deaths.
There's a curse that comes with watching a movie adaptation of a book before reading it, in that you can't not picture the faces of the actors that portray the characters.
I'd attempted to read The Fellowship of the Ring a few times as a kid, but never got into it. I watched the movie before I started it in earnest, and I feel I was kind of cheated by all of the visuals I wasn't able to conjure up myself. For that reason, some of my favourite parts of the book were those that were cut from the movie, such as Tom Bombadil and the Barrow-downs.
Thankfully, I went on to read The Two Towers and The Return of the King well before the movies were released, and enjoyed them much more because I got to inject a lot more of my imagination into them.
I'd say that was exactly who he was picturing...as people who use Uber & Lyft.
I think the point he is making isn't that cities can get rid of cars. It's that the majority of people who use these new services can _probably_ just use public transport.
