I see a handful of parallels between Tumblr, Twitter, and Instagram--aside from the ability to re-post, of course--so I'm surprised how little work Instagram has put into content discovery.
Aside from the initial load Instagram's explore feature, its difficult to see what images are trending, and hard to organically search photos tagged at a given location unless you navigate to a photo tagged with that given location first.
Traffic management is a fascinating intersection of sociology, fluid dynamics, behavior change, and urban planning.
If you're interested in this field, I can't recommend the work of Tom Vanderbilt enough. His book "Traffic" brought urban planning to the masses in the same manner "Freakonomics" made social and public policy accessible.
I've always found it fascinating how a single bad driver can cause a massive traffic jam ("ghost traffic jam"). I think this should be taught when you're learning to drive as part of some sort of mandatory basic training - zipper merges should be in there too.
This reminds me of a similar exercise to find the optimal viewing order of Battlestar Galactica episodes, movies, web-series, deleted scenes, extended episodes, etc.
Today's revelation is that the NSA records and stores 100% of the phone calls made in the Bahamas.
The Post's revelation was that the NSA records and stores 100% of the phone calls made in an unnamed country.
These two countries are distinct. Read the actual article we're discussing.
I'll quote:
> In March, The Washington Post revealed that the NSA had developed the capability to record and store an entire nation’s phone traffic for 30 days.
(...)
> The Intercept has confirmed that as of 2013, the NSA was actively using MYSTIC to gather cell-phone metadata in five countries, and was intercepting voice data in two of them. Documents show that the NSA has been generating intelligence reports from MYSTIC surveillance in the Bahamas, Mexico, Kenya, the Philippines, and one other country, which The Intercept is not naming in response to specific, credible concerns that doing so could lead to increased violence.
