If you would have used a more honest color scale, this map would show that basically molto of the map, apart from the streak on the artic and the one in east Europe, are reasonably on average, with what I can guess (it's really hard to be determined in your messy yellow to black color gradient) is ±5°C. Which on a single day is honestly incredibly consistent. Though again, really hard to comprehend since yellow goes to orange to dark orange in a very small degree range.

White Text is beautiful always has been, but you can't use it on top of a similar in-colour background, because it will make it harder to read and hard for the eyes. so at least use a stroke on it next time.

Databricks who created that open source Spark project a startup ? Come on, we've been using it for years.

Epic Games has been around since forever with their unreal Engine and Quake Unreal games etc.

This is a very wrong definition of startup, OP, change the title to privately held 'tech' companies if you want but that's just wrong

I would recommend normalizing it for inflation. Hitting a million in 1950 would have meant a lot more than doing it today. EDIT: It apparently is.

Also, I would suggest changing the text color for the previous decades ;)

I didn't expect Exorcist to be in that list. Read upon it. A horror film that had gone over the budget, didn't have any major stars but went on to become highest grossing film for Warners even though they released only in 24 theatres at the beginning. Went to become the first horror film to be nominated for Academy awards for best picture. People flocked to the theatre in winter - many more than once. Some vomiting and fainting. Some supposedly had heart attacks and miscarriages too.
