Lol. I worked as a physicist at an extremely well-known university on the East Coast that I'm sure is ranked higher than wherever you graduated from.

Why is a concrete statue of Jesus a world heritage site?

Or, Americans have no real issues, and focus on made up issues

Lmao just take the L, you’re wrong, full stop.

Data on GDP was collected from the World Bank and cobalt extraction data from the USGS Minerals yearbook. Tools used: python, seaborn.

This chart comes from my personal blog: https://www.thedatachunk.com/p/quarry-quandary on the topic of the cobalt supply chain

#182 (UMich) and #166 (EMU) are less than ten miles apart. The vast majority of Michigan’s circle is included in EMU’s but is shifted slightly west from the population centers of Detroit. I found that interesting.

My address is Brooklyn, NY, and I receive mail addressed to NY, NY.

You are wrong and your “friend from Brooklyn” was wrong.

It is about population density. In the US most colleges have school colors related to sports. They are also grouped into conferences and divisions because of sports. Football is related to population density because you need a lot of fans and a lot of land.

With Prusa being so open sourced, I'm willing to bet they will open an API on Printables once they get things smoothed out a bit. They are still polishing up the site and molding it into what the community is looking for. They started out rough, but quickly took feedback and changed the site.

Even now, I find myself checking Thingiverse for a "thing" now and then when Printables fails to have it (yet).

Cults is an interesting one. I like that Thingiverse and Printables remains free, so I like that Cults has found itself a niche to have paid models. Cults would be a hard one to compare against for this fact alone.

Thangs is similar because they "pseudo paywall" everything behind requiring a login, which immediately puts some people off. (Yes, having a login for the other sites unlocks many "features", but some people want to quickly grab a file and go. Or want to download a file with some form of "privacy ")

I am unsure about Creality Cloud as I haven't used it.

In the end. Yes. I fully agree many people got their start with Thingiverse. MakerBot used to be a great open-source company, Zach Smith really helped get Thingiverse running and opened the door to helping the community. After Bre Pettis pushed Zach out and went closed source, the community rallied to get Thingiverse to remain open. After the Stratysas takeover, it was obvious they quit putting any money or effort into the site. Thankfully the open-source community stepped up and started working on alternatives.

By rank with the top tank at the bottom right. Rank goes by the total population within the circle where larger count is ranked higher.

How are they sorted? Why aren’t they alphabetized?

You've clearly gone into a lot of effort to process the data, but unfortunately this is a wrong sub to post the above. You should read the sub description first.

Is this about sports?

Data: kontur.io

Tools: R (Special shoutout to tylermorganwall for rayshader and rayrender.)

NB: I am aware of the absurdity inherited from reporting this level of precision.

No it will get delivered without issue.

Ah, that makes a lot of sense now

The category it's supposed to be used for 3d printer upgrades, mods, tools, calibration tests and stuff FOR 3d printing.

I'd really like to make the comparison too, also against Cults 3d, Creality Cloud and Thangs. But there's no API for Printables for now, and I didn't feel like doing web scraping for the whole site.

I totally get your point and agree that the site has been almost unusable for some time now. But from that to total abandonment from users I think it's difficult to tell. For instance, if you asked ten new people who are just getting into 3d printing, I think most of them would tell you they first looked for files on Thingiverse. Maybe they don't stick with it, but the site is so huge it's really difficult not to find it when looking for things online, especially if you are new. The fact that the number of new published models may include a large number of remixes/customized parts means that there's people using those features, and the rate of increase is almost the same, so people seem to be using the site indeed, even if only for that.

I personally stopped uploading models to it two years ago, and switched to Printables. But I wanted to see with numbers whether this general opinion of Thingiverse being abandoned was backed up by data or just a sentiment among people who are involved in the 3d printing, enough to go online in forums, and comment (I think the average user doesn't do that)

That’s cool. Not only not mention the countless heritage sites in Ireland but also completely cut it out of the map with a text box. Lol

It's interesting the hit art and fashion both took around the start of covid. Maybe toys and games as well.

NYC is more than Manhattan, and Manila is more than an envelope.
