This map is wrong. The countries fit into africa are actually distorted by the mercator projection, making them look bigger than they actually are. Look at Madagascar and the United Kingdom. They look roughly the same size on this map, but it even lists the UK as 242 thousand square km in area and Madagascar as 587 thousand. They also included Ireland as part of the UK, but even the actual UK alone is around the size of Madagascar in this picture. [Here's a more accurate comparision between these two countries](http://thetruesize.com/#?borders=1~!Nzc3MTg1MA.NjM5MTgwNQ*MjQxMDM3OTQ(MjExMzk2ODM~!GB*OTUyNTg4Ng.MzE0NjMzNjQ), showing that the UK is less than half the size of Madagascar.

Using countries distorted by the Mercator projection is exactly what this map is complaining about. The US is also missing Alaska (and Hawaii) and Europe is missing 60% of its area (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Sweden, Norway and Finland), even though it shows their full areas on the list. As I already mentioned, it also includes Ireland as part of the United Kingdom.

This map's goal is to fight "immappancy" but it's actually spreading it.

Celsius and metric conversions, for people outside the US:

• 107.6°F = 42°C

• 40°F = 4.5°C

• 300°F = 150°C

• 15000 feet = 4600 metres

• 282 feet = 86 metres

^^^^They ^^^^are ^^^^aproximated ^^^^a ^^^^bit, ^^^^because ^^^^of ^^^^this.

To those interested here is the more complete infographic link, but I think OP is showing the most efficient way of how people commonly use google. To make it much less daunting, I think.

Hunter S Thompson would be off the bottom of this chart by about 5 pages, and consisted of about 5 litres of alcohol and enough illicit substances to make a sitting in parliament enjoyable.

Geez, I'm so sorry for this mistake. I've never been to Denmark and used this photo as its copyright free. I assumed it was Denmark because dozens of other pages were using it claiming it's Denmark.

This one’s from a corporate blog of a product I use, their methodology seemed legit and the findings seemed interesting enough to share here.

They analyzed over 200 apps to see which collect the most and least data across 32 data types. The findings are presented through infographics, one for each type of app (browsers, social media, e-mail, messaging, etc.) Included a few here.

There’s also an interactive table where you can find the least “data-hungry” app from each category (what I found most useful from this).

The source and their methodology: here.

They come from indeed.com. I would say that's roughly legit. They are certainly in the ballpark.

Examples:

Maybe google's ngram viewer. This is my best guess

No worries! The Geographic Information System (GIS) community is very active online so you can find a whole bunch of information about it. But it all depends on what you intend to use it for.

If you're new to mapping in general I'd suggest downloading QGIS which is a open source mapping program. Just play around, watch some tutorials and read the QGIS user guide which has plenty of information. Coursera also offers some courses on GIS.

Feel free to PM if you have any specific questions or if you were looking for something in particular! :)

> are nontoxic [...] perfectly safe compounds

pure heroin is mostly safe, not perfectly safe. and that's only after dismissing psychological dependence, which is responsible for ruining millions of lives.

there's also physical dependence which leads to nausea and constipation, and the possibility of respiratory failure (death) from an overdose.

i'm not sure where you got the idea that there's "no way to measure the toxicity of heroin." there are lots of ways, with LD50 being a common measure.

https://tosdr.org for those who worry a little about this but don't have much time to read. There was another site that had tables on it comparing several sites too but I can't remember.

Holy crap that sounds almost exactly like a blog I read

Man ngl that kinda makes me sad. This is why I spend more time on Reddit than on actual websites - at least on Reddit I'm reading posts and comments that are actually from people, not just adverts

"This comment brought to you by our sponsor, NordVPN!"

(Sorry my point was serious but I couldn't help making that joke)

How do you know? There's no Chick-Fil-A symbol in Maryland, and there's no callout pointing to MD. There's a color, but after noting the following, I think it's clear the mapmaker doesn't know the exact boundaries:

There's a callout to DC, and a callout to VA, and a callout to DE: all McDonald's. None to MD. Note everything in the black box is <em>not</em> Maryland.

Then VA has a second restaurant - the fact there's a Chick-Fil-A symbol goes against the fact there's a McDonald's callout pointing to VA.

I was thinking the same thing, and (at least according to CNET) Neato is currently the best choice. Though I've read elsewhere you'll still need to clean once a week/month as no robot vacuum gets everything.

"Yours", implying anyone should ever have a single password.

If anyone reuses the same password in 2 places, please use haveibeenpwned and at least discover whether that password has been leaked yet. Chances are, it has.

Also, the vast majority of online services would block almost all of these passwords from being used due to poor strength, so this is clearly either a very old list, or from a site with very weak security.

Some sure are, but still decision is up to users, and google suggestions don't really ahev that big of an influence. Source: we parse and analyze millions of Google autocomplete suggestions. Most have monthly search volumes waaay below average.

You can check out our autocomplete suggestions tool here: https://serpstat.com/keywords/suggestions/ it's free.

It shows you what suggestions are commonly shows for keywords you're interested.

For those who work in tech or on a computer a lot, some chrome extensions that have helped me work with my procrastination tendencies:

1) Session Buddy - save tabs

2) Noosfeer - save articles to read later, like this one.

3) Notion (Don't get no money from referral) - This one's been a revelation, it's as simple as a scribble-pad/noteboard, but there's many kinds. One I especially like is a to-do's board, where I can move items from 'In progress', 'to be done', 'done'.

4) QuickTabs - Search your tabs, useful if you have a million open. But don't make this a habit, try to move towards where you don't have a million tabs open.

Also, try to make it a point to finish one article on Noosfeer before bedtime, or organize one cluster of tabs on Session Buddy.

Also, to anyone reading this, don't use HideMyAss. They're one of the least reputable VPN services out there, and they don't keep your information secure. Here's a good list: PrivateInternetAccess is one of the best.

There's a doctor in Sweden who wrote a book on how as little as 20 minutes of walking a day can have drastic, measurable beneficial impacts on your health.

https://www.amazon.com/Real-Happy-Pill-Power-Moving/dp/151072298X

That's one of the reasons I had to move to a mild climate city with mass transit. I now walk at least 40 minutes a day just going to and from work (bus/train whatever).

It's 7 minutes to the bus, then 5 minutes to walk from the bus to the train, then another 5 minutes from the train to the office.

From the office it's 5 minutes to the train, then 3 minutes to another bus, then 15 minutes from the bus to my house.

All this, because I can't bring myself to use a treadmill.

If it was using the top websites list on Wikipedia Baidu would be #4 (not #88). Why because it's based on this list which has a lot more foreign websites in it:

>Spoken in 21 countries, many with beautiful beaches and ancient cultures, Spanish is one of the most important languages in the western hemisphere and the third most spoken language in the world. On Duolingo, you'll learn a version of Spanish closer to what you'd hear in Latin America than in Spain, but the differences are relatively small and everybody will be able to understand you.

You can read through the whole study here. Some highlights:

• Russia has made the most takedown requests over the past decade, nearly ten times as many as second-placed Turkey.
• Following Russia, Turkey and India have made the most requests over time. But both were nudged down a spot in 2020’s figures by South Korea which nearly doubled its previous tally (see study).
• In 2020, the US made the lowest number of removal requests since 2012. Requests have gradually decreased since 2017.

It’s worth noting that a single request can cover multiple pieces of content, and multiple requests can be made against the same content.

Sources and methodology:

This study analyzes data from Google’s Transparency Report. We filtered the data by location, volume of requests between 2011-2020, volume of requests in 2020 alone, and the top reason for requests in each country and globally.

Note: reasons with very low figures were grouped into the "Other" category. These reasons are: Suicide Promotion, Geographical Dispute, Electoral Law, Impersonation, Regulated Goods & Services, Reason Unspecified, and Other.

Yeah you are talking in general. The info-graphic specifies women's role in leadership in today's scenario. The focus is on how women can achieve the targets and skills to get equity in leadership positions. The stats says that women leadership appears in maximum only in Human Resource position, but for rest of senior management positions, the leadership role decreases. Look into this PPT for better understanding the stats. https://www.slideshare.net/topchrolist/celebrating-women-in-leadership-roles/

Hey there,

I'm a reddit newbie and an infographic designer and I'm crazy about photo-real infographics. Here is my fresh poster about Su-30 fighter family. What do you think? Can it be interesting on this subreddit? If you like have a look at my other military posters on behance! * Sorry in advance if I'm doing something wrong.

Hi All,

You can find a higher quality version here: https://www.slideshare.net/MichaelLipowicz/how-to-actually-fight-climate-change-in-the-us-86601599

I'm happy to discuss the content if there are any questions. I am a novice in graphic design, but made this just to spruce up an otherwise wordy article.

This is a visualization by MIT Technology Review using data gathered from John Hopkins University. Note that these numbers only reflect an estimate of confirmed cases (based on inconsistent testing conditions, resources, and methodologies between nations)

On a personal note, I found this useful in illustrating the urgency at hand to friends still unbothered by the pandemic: specifically, how this explosive growth correlates to the immediate demands from our health care system

calltutors.com is a place that you pay to do your homework for you right?

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that this "infographic" was hacked together from this and this.

Can I gripe for a minute? I'm not the best graphic designer in the world. But I paid out my ass to go to art school and have lost more sleep to all-nighters to meet deadlines than I can even count.

So when I see a website that allows kids with money to cheat their way through school hack together an infographic using design — which I guess is just a commodity now — it makes me want to chuck it all in.

This is a terrible example, mostly because the data is hard to represent in a few words or in a graphical-only manner. But besides this, I am beyond frustrated with canva.com and its terrible charts. There are tons of alternatives, I know, but most of the Freemium ones only allow 5-10 infographics to be made whereas I hope to make at least several dozen. I have experience with Photoshop and have a CS2 license, so I can do all the graphics and text that way, but what is the best solution for charts?

I believe the assumption is that a computer is brute forcing every possible password directly into a password field with no limit on password retries or rate limiting, so salting and hash schemes are irrelevant.

Still, this is obviously a completely unrealistic scenario and is really just a measure of the complexity of your password.

Yes. I am not an expert on this, but the whole PDF document appears to be generated by code. Especially important is the document preparation system &quot;LaTeX&quot;.

"tar" is a Linux utility that creates a single archived file by "packing" together many files into one (but does not compress them). Whereas "gzip" (GNU zip) is another utility that only compresses a single file into another single file. Hence, ".tar.gz". So there are two layers that need to be undone to see what's inside (btw the code to generate the PDF is impressive).

There are many programs that can both uncompress and then unpack a ".tar.gz" file. One good one for Windows is &quot;7-Zip&quot;.

>Calculators just feel better

I guess, personal preferences are the most important criterion here.

As for me, if I find that this app (has a nice history btw) or Wolfram Alpha is not enough, I switch to some desktop stuff like Jupyter, MathCAD or Calc, depending on the task

It is and I barely understand it, this book does an amazing job of laying out the policies after WWII and how we've gone into nutty denial in maintaining trade deficits .... I HIGHLY reccomend it for anyone interested in this topic or global economics in general. Like I said I got a good healthy understanding of the background from this book but halfway In I got pretty lost, but Im not tremendously smrt ;) still highly reccomend it...

I think there's surely some guides on the internet which is what OP is asking, rather than asking one of us giving him a how to on it. But yeah it's graphic design. One thing that I think is integral for successful design is: understand how the end-user will interact with the design, what setting is the design in - i.e. on reddit, and with many other links, why choose yours, how to make it stand out.

How best to make it stand out? How best to make it easily processed for the visual sense that is experiencing it?

This is where psychology comes in, patterns/grouping, etc etc.

If anyone's interested, Universal Principles of Design & Universal Methods of Design helped me in design. Not entirely visual product based (infographic), and prob overkill when OP just wants a list of what to do / not to do. I'm sure there's something like that out there on the net, if not you'll have to books more specific to graphic design like "Cool Infographics: Effective Communication with Data Visualization and Design" seems good.

For anyone interested:

I'd also recommend the book A Mind of Its Own: How Your Brain Distorts and Deceives by Cordelia Fine.

It would be nice if we could see the numbers a bit more clearly... And a lot of this should be obvious, since it costs a lot less to provide utilities and resources to 10 families living in one building than 10 families living in 10 buildings, all 1/4 mile apart. The problem in America is the actual cost of a home doesn't accurately portray how much it actually costs to live there, so people think their big home in the burbs is such a good deal compared to the comparitively tiny urban counterpart, and then they don't know why the suburban municipalities often don't have enough resources to construct improved utilities, public works projects, etc. I recommend reading The End of the Suburbs by Leigh Gallagher if this topic interests you.

Here, how about something useful.
