I work on the team, but didn't do this interactive, but I sit next to the guy who did. The other comments in this thread are correct, it's d3 and some jQuery. D3 is an amazing library and well worth learning. Thanks for all the feedback, we're reading it all.

aubergene | 12 years ago | on: We need an NRA for privacy
Systems like PRISM should be a lobbying issue for the NRA. Background checks and gun ownership registration become moot when the government has copies of all your web browsing history, purchasing activity and correspondence. PRISM is the biggest threat to the second amendment, the NRA needs to wake up to this.

I read this 1996 article by Neal Stephenson about the construction of FLAG. It's really interesting and deals with how cables are laid and possible damage to them.

no, but http://cdnjs.com does, although I don't think they have the CSS
The prominent most likely score is a bit confusing, if you click through to the match detail then the histogram shows a range of goal differences. So for the first match we predict a goal difference of >2 to Brazil, although the highest probability for an actual score result is 2-0 (16%). Our model makes projections for up to 8-0 in both directions, but we aggregate them for display in this interactive.
