https://mikespagat.wordpress.com/2016/09
War, Numbers and Human Losses. A New Graphical Manoeuvre (not Recommended). September 30, 2016. October 2, 2016. Many of you know that for some months I’ve been involved in a discussion with Pasquale Cirillo. And Nicholas Nassim Taleb. Joined me in a recent exchange of letters. With Cirillo and Taleb. I won’t summarise the debate in this post but you can bone up by looking here. You will also rejoice to learn that there will be another exchange of letters soon. And was taken aback by their figure 14a:.

ACLED in R | Dart-Throwing Chimp
https://dartthrowingchimp.wordpress.com/2015/07/19/acled-in-r
Thoughtful analysis or bloviation? The Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project. Aka ACLED, produces up-to-date event data on certain kinds of political conflict in Africa and, as of 2015, parts of Asia. In this post, I’m not going to dwell on the project’s sources and methods, which you can read about on ACLED’s About page. In the 2010 journal article. That introduced the project, or in the project’s user’s guides. You can find the R script on GitHub, here. It should also be easy to adapt the part...

Be Vewy, Vewy Quiet | Dart-Throwing Chimp
https://dartthrowingchimp.wordpress.com/2015/07/28/be-vewy-vewy-quiet
Thoughtful analysis or bloviation? Be Vewy, Vewy Quiet. This blog has gone relatively quiet of late, and it will probably stay that way for a while. That’s partly a function of my personal life, but it also reflects a conscious decision to spend more time improving my abilities as a programmer. I want to get better at scraping, making, munging, summarizing, visualizing, and analyzing data. So, instead of contemplating world affairs, I’ve been starting to learn Python. Using questions on Stack Overflow.

The Dilemma of Getting to Civilian Control | Dart-Throwing Chimp
https://dartthrowingchimp.wordpress.com/2015/07/09/the-dilemma-of-getting-to-civilian-control
Thoughtful analysis or bloviation? The Dilemma of Getting to Civilian Control. A country can’t really qualify as a democracy without civilian control of its own security forces, but the logic that makes that statement true also makes civilian control hard to achieve, as events in Burkina Faso are currently reminding us. But the threat of a coup only enhances their bargaining power with elected rulers, and thus further constrains popular sovereignty. This dilemma is bedeviling politics in Burkina Faso rig...

Thoughtful analysis or bloviation? Fact Check: Are Military Coups Back in Vogue? In a recent piece. Joshua Kurlantzick claims to spot a resurgence of military coups. He writes:. In Latin America, Africa and Asia, coups, which had been a frequent means of changing governments during the Cold War, had become nearly extinct by the dawn of the new century. But over the past decade, the military has made power grabs in at least 12 states, from Guinea to Honduras, from Thailand to Madagascar. Again, no. Th...

Thoughtful analysis or bloviation? 8220;No One Stayed to Count the Bodies”. If you want to understand and appreciate why, even in the age of the Internet and satellites and near-ubiquitous mobile telephony, it remains impossible to measure even the coarsest manifestations of political violence with any precision, read this blog post.

Thoughtful analysis or bloviation? You’ve heard of Schrödinger’s cat, right? This is the famous thought experiment. Proposed by Nobel Prize winning physicist Erwin Schrödinger to underscore what he saw as the absurdity of quantum superposition the idea that “an object in a physical system can simultaneously exist in all possible configurations, but observing the system forces the system to collapse and forces the object into just one of those possible states.”. It seemed pretty clear that some disgruntle...

Thoughtful analysis or bloviation? An immediate addition to my short list of favorite books imagines the world after the global political economy has disintegrated. A flu pandemic has killed almost all humans, and the ones who remain inhabit the kinds of traveling bands or small encampments that are only vaguely familiar to most of us. There is no gasoline, no Internet, no electricity. 8220;I haven’t thought of an airplane in so long.”. 8220;Was it a good dream? 8220;In the dream I was so happy,” h...

Perspectives on Tech, Business, Travel, and Nonprofits. November 17, 2011 • 9:04 pm. Are Brands Ready to Play Games? For the fitness freaks out there, the idea of tracking your heart beat or length of your run is nothing new. Pedometers, heart rate monitors, and MapMyRun.com have been around forever. However, this idea of tracking every step, every calorie, and every minute of exercise (both casual and strenuous) within a day is taking flight. With new technologies such as the Fitbit.
