Without changing your spending habits try to keep track of every penny spent for a couple months. Then take a look at the results and see where you can reduce your spending, stretch every dollar spent, etc.

It's not based on church records, it's based on statistical modelling of a database of 45 million mutations in modern people's DNA to estimate ancient mutation rates.

So the actual bias is: the ancient people whose ages are being estimated are from around the world, but they are all mutants who have many living descendants. If someone did not have a new mutation, or if they didn't have a bunch of great-great-grandkids and pass their mutation on to modern people, they aren't included.

Pre-Columbian Americans do have living descendants in the USA so I would imagine some pre-Columbian American mutants are included.

But the mutants from 250,000 years ago are all from Africa because everyone was from Africa then.

Such a work of art, and does a great job of communicating the data. Beautifully done.

What this clearly shows is that drinking beer, wine, and whiskey leads to a high GDP, while drinking vodka leads to a low GDP.

Thanks, that’s the goal

I think the demographics will work against Ukraine taking the peninsula back.

By what measurement are they fit for the role other than an interview? When you choose a candidate based on numbers charts it misses the entire point of statistics, which is observational data. It doesn’t aim to prove but to disprove, in this case any person is viable. You said it yourself, it’s not about their sex.

damn i make 40k more a year than you and amassed half of the savings you did... I need to budget better

Wow. If I ever had to describe a budget of someone who “had their house in order” then yours would be it.
Excellent savings rate once you add up the 401k and stocks. Feels like you’re on your way to FIRE if you do this for ~20 years

I like the idea but I feel like the length affects the perception of the width. Patternist looks very thin at first glance but if I look closer, it appears that you liked it.

Musk doesn't found anything. He finds all kinds of shit and makes people say he created it.

This is the best post I've seen on this sub

yeah, I sized them by how much I liked the books (thin = not very much). That was hard to see, I thought, so I didn't bother to label it.

you are correct -- sorry, brain fart just read bacon king xxl

Bro the next burger is a BIG king its a whole different burger

first entry on the chart is bacon king, and the second is bacon king xxl. undermines the credibility of the whole thing if the first thing you see appears to be an error. not critical, just sharing what i thought was a error for correction.

Great visualization! Does the width of each plume have significance?

I think they were trying to say that we are choosing to segregate ourselves more publicly, not that there is a return to government mandated segregation. Which is somewhat true, but not necessarily dysfunctional or unhealthy. There's a really interesting study by Robert Putnam from Harvard. Here's part of the abstract relevant to this topic:

In the long run immigration and diversity are likely to have important cultural, economic, fiscal, and developmental benefits. In the short run, however, immigration and ethnic diversity tend to reduce social solidarity and social capital.

I'm not going to use silly words like good and bad, some of us do choose to segregate ourselves, but we appear to do it more typically because of the desire for community and safety, as opposed to hate for the other.

Finally, some beautiful fucking data

Should be in data is ugly

Congrats on the engagement :)

You’re right, but at this point everyone (the researches as well I think) say this. It’s the common way to designate the topic. It’s also simpler and more understandable that way
