The library primarily consumes snapshots of FERC's data that we periodically archive on #Zenodo as @okfn #Frictionless data packages. - These archives contain both the old VisualFoxPro DBF files and the new XBRL data. Nearly 30 years of FERC Form 1:

Few things beat joyfully descending a mountain you've just climbed. Because of the work done to set it up, it's one of the sweetest feelings.

Luz Ardiden is an "HC" (above categorization) climb sometimes tackled in the Tour de France route. Because of its many hairpin curves, some call it the Alpe d'Huez of the Pyrenees.

The music is MLC's cover of Jackie Wilson's "The Sweetest Feeling".

@grammargirl @amahnke Excellent! I followed Aaron back in his designer/freelancer/author days (~2011?). #productivity #frictionless #notecards

I'm very pleased this chapter is now available (paywall unfortunately - let me know if you'd like a copy!). It's my pet project, where I analysed the #discourse enacted through #edtech.

One idea: App #aesthetics address students as users who expect learning to be smooth and #frictionless. (Perhaps the opposite of how educational theorists and practitioners imagine learning to occur!) And I wonder what the implications are for society.

The #CentreForBiodiversityGenomics / International Barcode of Life Consortium (#iBOL) / #BOLDSystems is now releasing weekly #Frictionless data packages (tab-delimited) of all public #DnaBarcode data:

http://www.boldsystems.org/index.php/datapackages

This may be more convenient than the old download formats, but it's 1.0 GB zipped / 10 GB unzipped.

The packages lack image URLs and taxon ids, which I need, but I plan to change https://bold-au.hobern.net/ to use them if this gets fixed.

Would be amazing if #Earth had only one #human #language & #alphabet, to eliminate any needless #barriers to clear, #frictionless #global #communication, so that w/ this problem gone, we could get on w/ everything ELSE it delays

#Culture is an artificial, #irrational construct holding #humanity back for no benefit at times

Language is first & foremost for #essential, utilitarian comms, not for validating #emotional #tribal #idenity via #division

Seek #diversity in #nonessential realms instead

RT @Reasons2Rejoin: Many people, including politicians and #journalists, don’t understand the difference between #freetrade and #frictionless #trade. This had led directly to our #Brexit mess. Today, spread some understanding by sharing @Jon_Danzig's enlightening report.
