July 14, 2026, again in Dallas. This is the first time I go to semifinal. Exciting! This time no kids. I get to see France, and I get to see Spain again.
Spain ended up completely nullifying France who have by far the most impressive attack in the tournament and beat them 2-0. I don’t see how anyone can keep them from winning the World Cup.
An intern at a website called Facebook (some sort of up and coming social network, whatever that is) took data from millions of friendships and drew a map using that information. He drew the cities where users were from and lines between cities depicting friendships. More details on how he drew this here.
The result: A pretty picture, not unlike the ones you see taken from the ISS at night… except these aren’t lights, they are Facebook users.
It also shows to an extent the level of internet penetration in the world: not many users in Siberia nor the Sahara – or the level of internet censorship – can anyone see China?
