Who cares about twitter but,
I love this, it’s currently worthless but just lovely.
Someone is trying to use these tools to visualize the dataflow they use in real time right now.
Made me think of Jon Elway and his ability to scrabble out of the pocket. If you don’t understand that talk to a Bronco fan. It looked like he could almost see someone behind himself and he’d leave the pocket. He’s also enter the realm of land of artist then. A slow large one.
Instead of a sack he’d get:
a few yards.
out of bounds while looking down field. Stopping the clock.
a pass downfield to someone getting open somehow, considering the patern had been run at this point, more often than not across his body while running.
Now think of someone with a very slight edge picking up visual dataflow while trading currency.
At least 3 datapoints instead of one.
Do any desks have screens doing this type of display yet? I’m not in the trading biz.

I’ll eat some crow.
Just watched it again.
Not worthless, seeing that big black void as China passes by is scary. In a real human opression way. Not per opression of the sort people who use the term sheeple think of. The real deal.
