A delightfully visual posting about how to visualise the substructure of the power-law of attention. It is a little misleading. I don’t know that one could turn the gravity down low enough for any landscape to have escarpments as brutal as those in power-law land. But, it does help to shake loose people’s blindness to the way that the power-law of attention is the sum of many many power-law of attention to X, Y and Z.
Seems reasonable that gravity would lead to perferential attachement and hence to a power-law distribution. Here we have the top ten bodies in the solar system plotted in rank order. As usual around here this is a log-log chart. The earth’s mass is one on the Y axis.
The cleaning crews did not receive health insurance and were paid below the minimum wage, sometimes as little as $2 a day, a federal official said.
