"I think the US today is on an island in just how strict it is with regard to allowing Chinese cars on its roads. Vehicles with embedded Chinese software or hardware are essentially not allowed to be registered in the US If you look at the rest of the world, you might ask: Are we on an island?"
Albert Pinto@70sbachchan.bsky.social · 3mo agoGood debate: "I think the single biggest risk is if China overwhelms our auto industry and becomes dominant here.. China is so powerful and has so much leverage—low cost, high speed, good quality—that it could simply...obliterate legacy automakers. That’s the risk" www.brookings.edu/articles/wha...
Since zero degrees don't mean absence of degrees there is no way to make a correct bar chart to display temperatures, you always need a different geometry. #datavis

For this #July4th #IndependenceDay of #USA250 #America250 anniversary, I created two #LEGO style maps of the contiguous #UnitedStates: one showing topography, the other tracing territorial acquisitions. Each unit represents 50 × 50 miles. ❤️🤍💙 #LEGOMap #Cartography

Directions may beat a map at getting me there. A feed knows my interests better than a newspaper. An AI answer is faster than a book. Convenience excels at narrow efficiency. Good friction asks what the whole life requires. My latest for Chartography: www.chartography.net/p/good-frict...

wisevis@wisevis.eu · 2mo agoOK, it's #showyourstripes but I wanted to try something different. Two Iberian cities, Barcelona facing the Mediterranean Sea, and Aveiro, facing the Atlantic Ocean. This shows that, in many regions, "of course it's hot, it's summer" is a pretty idiotic thing to say. #datavis
WELCOME TO WASHINGTON, SOCCER FANS. Get acquainted with our state via this highly accurate and mostly-to-scale map.
Just found this intriguing new function by Wadea Abu Dahoud for making a log-scale axis squiggly, mostly to act as a visual cue/speed bump that the axis isn't linear. github.com/wade31985-ar... #rstats #dataviz
Inequality is hard to portray in a broad objective way because what money means is always shifting (inflation, purchasing power, etc). Effects like inequality of health outcomes can help, but it piles abstraction upon abstraction. www.chartography.net/p/the-geomet...

Physical media! Now I know why shipping was so expensive. Damn Playfair, I did not know you went so hard! (The charts fold out and are even bigger.)
