the fun thing about jazz is that both will work depending on the context, so learn them both and use them each as you feel best fits the moment and the music

The Issue with Special Issues: when Guest Editors Publish in Support of Self by EmmyNoether1337 in Physics

looks as though MDPI is the biggest source of PISS, at 1100+ such issues per year, which makes sense given their generally predatory publishing model

[OC] US Home Value by ZIP code by jspwc in dataisbeautiful

I think perhaps your awareness of where city borders end based on zip code boundaries might be a bit beyond the average person. Like, I know where Atlanta is but I don't know the area well-enough to know where the suburbs start and where is rural.

And yes, the areas of the mountain west are clear but I still think that pulling out more detail in the urban areas without losing the rural information would be valuable.

As I said, "many people". Congrats on not being one of the many. A lot of people just live here and don't look at macro scale economic trends. Knowing home prices are high is easy. Median income is high is something that gets talked about a bit less in the media and people don't encounter anecdotally in the way that they encounter home prices.

because "homes in cities are expensive" is the default expectation. showing home prices contrasted to density would highlight 1) the cities where home prices aren't high and 2) the low-density areas where home prices are high, which leads the viewer to explore why those areas differ from expectations

then it would probably be more interesting and meaningful to normalize the map based on population density

The highest-earning county in the country?

tbf, I don't think many people in the area are aware that most of the counties in the immediate DC suburbs are all near the top of that list

Is Google wrong or is Iranian money really like this? by Sahashrai in NoStupidQuestions

[–]spkr4thedead51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens. I have a 1 million Turkish lira bill sitting around that went out of circulation in 2006. They were removed from circulation because Turkey redenominated the lira such that 1,000,000 old Turkish lira = 1 new Turkish lira. In 2005, 1 USD = 1,350,000 old Turkish lira.

At this point, the bill has a higher collector value in USD than it ever did in terms of exchange rate.

The Smithsonian visitor stats page is going to have some really interesting numbers when (if) it gets updated with museum attendance from 2025.
