I have been in a serious relationship for more than 12 years. My partner in this relationship has brought me joy through the years, but lately, I feel like I’m giving to this relationship far more than I’m getting out of it. The relationship no longer brings me the joy that it once did, and has suffered from several breaches. The post Why I’m Breaking Up with Facebook appeared first on Tim Mitchell.

This allows for an additional variable (or multiple variables) to be added to the diagram. This additional variable is of course connected (or relevant) with the node data. So for example, if an individual node represents a single person in a network, the arcs represent who they’re messaging, and then the additional var
