Statistician genius, Nate Silver, has relaunched his
FiveThirtyEight website. Most familiarly
known for accurately predicting each state in the 2012 election, the site has
been published under ESPN ownership.
Silver says the site will offer more than politics and sports, he claims
to cover science, economics, and lifestyle as well. Silver argues that his 2012 predictions are
overrated, and that his new team includes more data visualization and computer
programming tactics. By spanning more
coverage areas, he hopes the site will increase popularity and branch away from
the 2012 hype. While “explanatory
journalism” has recently increased, Silver claims his staff is “unique and
weird nerds, essentially outsiders.”

This is a pretty cool technology. It will be interesting seeing what other things the technology can cover in a more specific way. It is always crazy to see how technology continues to grow in the world today. I have no idea how computer programming works but it is interesting seeing what people can do with it to advance things in our society.
