I want someone to project that map onto a globe to illustrate how ridiculous it was. The elegantly circular arcs of the north sides of those storms would look bizarrely teardrop-pinched, if I’m not mistaken.

Nice

Sun Tzu nods, wisely.

Data can be beautiful. I just found a similar but maybe clearer example from 2016 with a nice write-up about it.

Teaser from that article:

I think the common term for these is “cartogram”.

For me, it’s helpful to remember what the underlying reality is.

Skewed for population and colored on a red-blue scale to reflect vote mix.

When those votes are counted, the resulting electoral votes align to those votes, which results in maps like what you showed. When strategists tune their messages to target demographics they can divide (e.g., rural vs. urban), they’re playing a game of inches and shades on this map of purple goo, and that’s still the reality behind the ultimate electoral vote, even if it doesn’t feel like it.

Keep voting, everyone!

edits: So much autocorrect.

I think everywhere you’ve posted this has been relevant to those particular threads. I appreciate you carrying that torch.

This referred to CUNY a few times. I thought that, City University of New York, was a different institution, and I got the impression the article was referring to Columbia University as CUNY. Maybe I missed something?

Ok, if I’m not going to live long enough to see aging reversed, at least I might get to try naturally different-colored bleu cheese.

Hot take? This should have been a major version update.

That’s what I thought of, at first. Interestingly, the judge went with the angle of the chatbot being part of their web site, and they’re responsible for that info. When they tried to argue that the bot mentioned a link to a page with contradicting info, the judge said users can’t be expected to check one part of the site against another part to determine which part is more accurate. Still works in favor of the common person, just a different approach than how I thought about it.

You’re not wrong.

The thought of unused cores of unformed planets is about as metal as they are. \m/

Awesome, glad to help!

“Oh.”

I’m enjoying the Humixx “Crystal Clear”, so far. No built in stand, but I am happy with its combo of slick texture on the main surfaces and grippy texture on the slim bumper edges.

Edit: It also fits snugly enough for me to place a sticker inside without peeling the backing, so I have some changeable graphics that stay in place without applying any adhesive.

Ah, I should have said “from a domain you own or one of their own”.

The use case I’m talking about, which is the use of arbitrary domains, not Proton-provided ones and not domains you own and control.

I see that Simple Login provides aliases from its own domains, but not a way to use an arbitrary domain.

Proton’s address support overview mentions organizational addresses, but clarifies in the same doc that this is referring to a business plan where that whole organization will be using Proton.

Proton’s switching guide discusses forwarding, and it only instructs the user to tell their contacts about the new Proton address, which defeats the purpose of forwarding addresses.

Here is further discussion about the missing functionality.

Meanwhile, Google lets you use up to 99 of your own email addresses from whatever domains they are.

It only requires you to demonstrate you control the address.

Proton, on the other hand, only supports you owning the whole domain, as their only verification is through DNS TXT records.
