“New projections have still been proposed since the 1970s, but they’ve been niche products. None has been widely adopted or incorporated into mainstream mapping software.“
Wut? Natural Earth & Equal Earth immediately come to mind. Web Mercator might qualify. I‘m sure there are others.
![In 1627, a group known as the Salé Rovers, from the Republic of Salé (now Salé in Morocco) occupied Lundy for five years. These Barbary pirates, under the command of a Dutch renegade named Jan Janszoon, flew a Moorish flag over the island. Slaving raids were made embarking from Lundy by the Barbary Pirates, and captured Europeans were held on Lundy before being sent to Salé and Algiers to be sold as slaves as part of the Barbary coast slave trade. 34][35|[36][37]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:h4tiqxlaess3yxdmrwhqqdwh/bafkreibukng334eife45z3mxrtctzkxfxdm7b2qqfbzztupbdsdr6vnc54@jpeg)

Simulated null distribution for data with a sample size of 100, difference in group means of 5, and a p-value of 0.142
Simulated null distribution of a slope of 0.8 and p-value of 0.002
Finally, we have to decide if the p-value meets an evidentiary standard or threshold that would provide us with enough evidence that we aren’t in the null world (or, in more statsy terms, enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis). There are lots of possible thresholds. By convention, most people use a threshold (often shortened to α) of 0.05, or 5%. But that’s not required! You could have a lower standard with an α of 0.1 (10%), or a higher standard with an α of 0.01 (1%). Statistically significant The p-value is < 0.001 and our threshold for α is 0.05 In a world where there is no relationship between x and y, the probability of seeing a slope of at least 0.901 is < 0.1% Since < 0.001 is less than 0.05, we have enough evidence to say that the slope is statistically significant.
Evidentiary standards When thinking about p-values and thresholds, I like to imagine myself as a judge or a member of a jury. Many legal systems around the world have formal evidentiary thresholds or standards of proof. If prosecutors provide evidence that meets a threshold (i.e. goes beyond a reasonable doubt, or shows evidence on a balance of probabilities), the judge or jury can rule guilty. If there’s not enough evidence to clear the standard or threshold, the judge or jury has to rule not guilty. With p-values: If the probability of seeing an effect or difference (or δ) in a null world is less than 5% (or whatever the threshold is), we rule it statistically significant and say that the difference does not fit in that world. We’re pretty confident that it’s not zero. If the p-value is larger than the threshold, we do not have enough evidence to claim that δ doesn’t come from a world of where there’s no difference. We don’t know if it’s not zero. Importantly, if the difference is not significant, that does not mean that there is no difference. It just means that we can’t detect one if there is. If a prosecutor doesn’t provide sufficient evidence to clear a standard or threshold, it does not mean that the defendant didn’t do whatever they’re charged with†—it means that the judge or jury can’t detect guilt.
I just whipped up this little #QuartoPub site last week that demonstrates how I teach p-values/hyp-testing through simulation both with live OJS and with #rstats, and I think it's super neat! It has examples for diff-in-means, diff-in-props, and regression slopes nullworlds.andrewheiss.com #statsky
The Obscure Cities [Les Cités Obscures] by François Schuiten and Benoît Peeters are the best urbanistic & architectural comics ever created.
La Fièvre d'Urbicande is my favourite.
There’s also a bonus post on scaling: science.nasa.gov/blogs/earth-...
Looks like my full series on using color in #dataviz finally made the migration to the new NASA science website: science.nasa.gov/blogs/earth-...
If you’re new to visualization, or just want a refresher, it covers the basics of color theory, how to build a palette, plus some tips & tricks.
The same for meteora another big monastery ?
I will say monastery ?

The Open Visualization Academy launches TOMORROW MORNING (EST) openvisualizationacademy.org with 7 courses; we'll release 1-2 more/month beginning in February.
Sneak peek at our website, designed by @vsueiro.bsky.social and Melissa Strong #dataViz #dataVisualization #infographics #dataJournalism
These aren't even graticules. Looks like AI slop to me.
Well, let's say that the cartographic quality of the logo roughly corresponds to the meaningfulness of the undertaking as a whole.
