Republicans have long sought to restrict access to National Weather Service data to private companies like AccuWeather, which in turn would provide forecasts only to paying customers. And they may succeed. But this would be obvious profiteering, creating artificial middlemen for access to information generated at taxpayer expense.

Benjamin Geer<p>Does anyone know where I can find data files representing the Paris light rail network (métro and RER) as a graph in the mathematical sense, i.e. a list of nodes with one node per station (with its name), along with a list of edges? I haven't found anything like this on the Open Data web sites of the RATP or Île-de-France Mobilités: it looks like they have data on lines and stops, but not a graph of stations. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places? <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Alon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>Alon</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://masto.ai/@bovine3dom" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>bovine3dom</span></a></span> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/OpenData" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenData</span></a> <a href="https://piaille.fr/tags/Paris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Paris</span></a></p>
