EVERYDAY LANGUAGE & EVERYDAY LIFE

About a year ago, whilst looking rather casually through the preface to an earlier book, A Measured Life (1994), I came upon this sentence: ‘You could write a book about the English character, warts and all, simply by putting together in thematic groups the traditional cant expressions that lubricate our daily life’.

Data Analysis with Open Source Tools

Businesses sit on data, and every second that passes, they generate some more. Surely, there must be a way to make use of all this stuff. But how, exactly—that’s far from clear. The task is difficult because it is so vague: there is no specific problem that needs to be solved. There is no specific question that needs to be answered. All you know is the overall purpose: improve the busin…

DATA + DESIGN

The book’s chapters follow pretty closely the actual set of steps that need to be accomplished before data can be visualized, from the design of the survey to the collection of the data to ultimately its visualization. Really pretty simple. So if you’re fairly new to the game, it is probably going to make sense for you to start at the beginning and read the whole way through the book. Likew…

Cyber security best practices

The incidence and cost of cyber crime is escalating, and no business is immune. Attacks are more sophisticated and more successful, because hackers collaborate and share tools and techniques. So we must collaborate, too. In 2014, we sponsored a series of chief information security officer (CISO) roundtables, where participants shared experiences and enterprise security best practices. Through t…

Image processing and data analysis

A range of very different ideas have been used to formulate the human ability to view and comprehend phenomena on different scales. Wavelet and other multiscale transforms are treated in this book. Just a few alternative approaches are surveyed in this section. In this section also, various terms are introduced in passing, which will reappear many times in later chapters. Data classification…

Fact and Value in Emotion

David Hume famously claimed that one cannot derive an ‘ought’ from an ‘is,’ or in less poetic terms, one cannot derive a value from a fact. Hume was arguing that the imperatives given to our preferences, goals and actions are derived from emotion and not from logical reasoning. Emotion, therefore, had a prominent place in Hu -me’s thinking.

These data notably support weather forecasting and "nowcasting," but, if appropriately calibrated and archived, they could support the examination of global change as well. The Department of Defense and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are the principal agencies responsible for NPOESS, but the N…

Theory of Literature

We must first make a distinction between literature and literary study. The two are distinct activities: one is creative, an art j the other, if not precisely a science, is a species of knowledge or of learning. There have been attempts, of course, to obliterate this distinction. For instance, it has been argued that one cannot understand literature unless one writes it, that one cannot and …
