Nearly 200 Russian civilian vessels show suspicious behaviour in the North Sea. Some of them have been linked to spying on seabed infrastructure since 2014. A joint investigation between Follow the Money and De Tijd mapped the most suspicious events and shows why little can be done about them. https://www.ftm.nl/artikelen/north-sea-1-suspicious-russian-ships-in-european-waters-and-havens

Ich hab mit Zeit Online über Beamte und Widerstand gesprochen. Und ein bisschen mehr:

Arne Semsrott: "Die Frage nach einer Zukunft unter der AfD ist schon in den Köpfen"

Was geschähe eigentlich genau, sollte die AfD einmal Minister stellen? Der Transparenzaktivist Arne Semsrott glaubt: Sie könnte an den deutschen Beamten scheitern.

Luckily, this is not my project but I had a similar experience a while back. In my case it was just a few hundred bucks, but given that it was for a just-for-fun side-project that made no money, still an annoying experience.

If you run a project on Mapbox tiles and are worried it could break the bank, have a look at https://versatiles.org or https://protomaps.com. It's also worth noting that Mapbox offers free plans for nonprofit projects.

Basierend auf dem #scicar23 Tutorial von @sjockers über den Genesis Datenbankzugriff per API mit Python https://github.com/sjockers/genesis-api-example habe ich mir mal die monatliche Ein- und Ausfuhr von Strom zwischen Deutschland und seinen Nachbarn angesehen @mkreutzfeldt erstmal nur als statische Grafiken aus matplotlib https://wahlatlas.net/experimente/strom/ Zeitreihe ab 1990

Check this Observable notebook that takes you through the whole process of creating a choropleth map based on GENESIS data (German) https://observablehq.com/@sjockers/genesis-choroplethen
Choroplethen-Visualisierung von GENESIS-Daten

Dieses Beispiel demonstriert wie man das Flat-File-CSV-Format aus GENESIS in ein tatsächlich nutzbares Format bringt und dann visualisiert. Die hier genutzten Daten stammen aus der Regionaldatenbank Deutschland: Statistik der Studenten (21311-01-01-4) Fortschreibung des Bevölkerungsstandes (12411-01-01-4) (1) Datei mit korrekter Zeichenkodierung laden Das erste Problem: Im Gegensatz zum Rest des Internets verwendet regionalstatistik.de (und andere Datenportale, die auf der GENESIS-Platform basieren), nicht
