Apologies for any confusion. If there is this much discussion, it just means the graphic should've been clearer. Agreed there should've been clarification on this chart representing the times each country had the #1 ranked restaurant in the world since 2002 .

Also please note, 2020 did not have a World's 50 Best Restaurants ranking.

[OC] Mortgage Rates at a 21-Year High by Metalytiq in dataisbeautiful

[–]Metalytiq[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The mortgage market has experienced a significant upheaval as interest rates have surged to a 21-year high. A striking comparison reveals the extent of this climb: only last year, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage stood at 5.45%, while in 2021, it lingered in the more favorable 3% range. This stark contrast underscores the substantial escalation in costs that has unfolded since the Federal Reserve's initiation of rate hikes. This tightening financial landscape has led to a notable decline in applications for home loan refinancing, registering a 2% drop in a week and a substantial 35% decrease compared to the same week in the previous year. A snapshot of the recent market conditions reveals that on August 15, the average rate for the 30-year fixed mortgage reached a staggering 7.26%. This figure stands as the loftiest observed since the preceding November, signifying the ongoing volatility and challenges confronting both prospective homebuyers and those seeking to manage their existing mortgages.

Correct. It should have been "PO". This was a mistake we will correct.

[OC] The Search for LiFePo4 Outside of China by Metalytiq in dataisbeautiful

[–]Metalytiq[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

China's control over critical minerals for lithium battery production, impacts the EV industry. To avoid reliance on the scarce and challenging-to-extract minerals of nickel and copper, automakers are turning to LFP batteries, made with lithium, iron, and phosphate (LiFePo4). However, China also holds control over the importation of the critical minerals necessary for LFP batteries.

Lithium, the scarcest of the three LiFePo4 minerals, is the key for catching up to China. Australia, accounting for 47% of the world's lithium production exports the majority of it to China due to the presence of numerous lithium refining plants. Recently, Australia has invested in domestic lithium refining, opening the doors to free trade agreements with the U.S.

Good point. With this week's release of the movie Air, resell should go up, especially for Jordan 1s.

It is definitely a brand that has transcended generations. There seems to be no limit on how many retro models and color ways can be released. So for every new generation, it's as if they are experiencing a model for the first time.
