Jurgan posted:That's not a great circle. A great circle has to have the same diameter as the sphere it lies on. Longitude lines are great circles, but except for the equator latitude lines are not. You know...that's a pretty obvious thing but I don't think I've ever even thought about it.

It's the easiest way to race around the world. Before people came up with some rules to defeat this, here's how you did a circumnavigation: 1. Sail south 2. Go around Antarctica, as close as you can. Try not to die! 3. Sail home You're now a round the world traveler!

Before people came up with some rules to defeat this, here's how you did a circumnavigation: One time I was on a long hike and thinking about this problem. I didn’t have access to the record‐keeping bodies’ solutions, so I worked out my own: Premise: Your route divides the surface of the globe into two major regions. Criterion: These regions must not differ in area by more than one third of the larger region. The area of any minor regions enclosed by your route (i.e. because you made loops) may be freely apportioned to the major regions so as to fulfill the above criterion.

For sailing, you have to travel the equivalent of the circumference of the earth and cross the equator. Practically, the only competitive route that satisfies this is English Channel–Cape Horn–Cape of Good Hope–English Channel (or the reverse). If time isn’t an issue, you could always use Suez and Panama.

Drug convictions by type and state. https://www.axios.com/what-are-the-most-popular-drug-crimes-in-my-state-2498649435.html Phone posting so no image. But it's interactive anyway. They try to position dots to match state locations and you get stuff like NC west of SC which is west of DC, and a line of states in the lower right... itskage has a new favorite as of 16:05 on Oct 22, 2017 |

Fathis Munk posted:I think the bars represent lines of exemption? Yes, that's correct. But the decision to make the VAT percentage appear right next to the "number of VAT exemptions" bar is either unintentionally bad design, or deliberately misleading to portray a higher VAT percentage, since this is from a pamphlet by the Department of Finance on the benefits of tax cuts.

My money is on intentionally misleading. It goes alongside the narrative of cutting taxes for the rich and broadening the VAT to include socialized housing, utilities and rentals. This will benefit the poor because

There is a conservative/libertarian story wherein Wilson was the first/main guy to overtly change the Founding Fathers' True American Vision by shifting things towards unelected bureacrats. Also income tax.

I don't entirely disagree with their premise. You gotta ignore the literal slavery to put founding fathers above modern progressives, but the apparatus of a state as defense against arbitrary groups imposing their will is valid.

Regardless, it's a bad chart because (1) it doesn't put conservatives anywhere (I guess you can either lump them in with Founding Fathers or Hitler depending on how you feel) and (2) there appears to be a Y axis and you can kind of guess the ones higher up are supposed to be better (because Founding Fathers!), but it's unclear. Also it makes it look like the Constitution is one step away from anarchy.
