Duckbox posted:Why would you pick 1813 as your breakpoint when half of Spanish South America rebelled slightly before and the other half slightly after? Colombia and Venezuela used to be the same country for chrissakes. My guess is the map was made in 2013, and the map shows monarchies abolished in what was at the time the last 50, 100, and 200 years.

This is terrible, at a glance there's not much difference between "other" and "clinton" stick figures. He should have used green or yellow instead of low-contrast gray.

Clinton is blue, Other is very clearly green. Just look at the large version. Trump vs Other might be a larger problem, for colourblind folks.

i think it's an interesting approach to the rock and a hard place of "showing a standard map makes it impossible to tell who won the election since there are so many big but empty or small but densely populated states" vs. "cartograms suck and i hate them" i bet some poisson or blue noise sampling to get a higher resolution of pseudo-voters might make things a little easier to see, but it's an interesting idea at least.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a few different density+voter preference maps itt that accomplished the same goal and weren't made by a stick figure cartoon man a year after the election.

Making the decision of using stick figures instead of % bars puts the emphasis on the individual voters. I think the point is to show the fact that everybody lives next to someone that voted differently? Except apparently for the Dakotas, Alaska, Wyoming and Hawaii?

Yeah, the map itself has two other labelled mediterranean seas, which should clue you in on how they're using the word.

Blue=houses under a million dollars in Vancouver.  It moves a little fast but basically you have to pay over a million dollars to live within 45 minutes of your work in a suburb that doesn't have an opiate/gang problem. And you can't buy a house for under $500k anywhere anymore. Nice areas are $3 million+.

Vivian Darkbloom posted:Is it really just down to Asian capital flooding into the Vancouver real estate market? What makes Vancouver so popular? Its also a bubble. Big banks routinely say the Canadian housing market is over valued by 20 or 30 or 40%. Vancouver is a special bubble in itself. There's literally shacks selling for around 1mil. (Vancouver also routinely tops lists of "best city in the world to live in", so people can feel justified about doing so)

Obviously for the deserts there just isn't enough rainfall for rivers, but what about central asia? Endorheic basins, which means there's no outflow to external bodies of water. Generally the water drains into lakes, where it evaporates.

Yeah, this is where most salt lakes and salt flats come from. The Great Salt Lake, Salton Sea, and Laguna Salada are in that North American one (although the Salton Sea was just a drainage basin before a canal broke), and the Caspian, Aral, Dead Sea, Tunisian Salt Lakes, etc. are all in similar basins.
