[ddj] New Blog Post: Visualizing IP Addresses with Python

Wed Jun 1 15:39:17 UTC 2016

Interesting post. I'm a little concerned that you give short-shrift to
the problems
of geolocation accuracy <http://whatismyipaddress.com/geolocation-accuracy>,
which is problematic even to the city
<https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip2-city-database-accuracy> for many reasons
<https://www.ccsl.carleton.ca/~jamuir/papers/TR-06-05.pdf>. Having talked
people off the cliff of saying the GeoIP results told them exactly where
users are, I think it's important to heavily caveat the use of GeoIP,
particularly when writing for an audience that may include people without
the technical frame of reference to understand the limitations.

Best,
Richard Dunks
