Your infographic says "UBS and Credit Suisse together hold combined assets of over 7x Swiss GDP", but the Reuters article you link to says "The banks, two of the most systemically relevant in global finance, hold combined assets of up to 140% of Swiss gross domestic product..."

I think this is because you're using assets under management and total assets interchangeably, which doesn't seem correct. UBS's 2022 annual report lists its total assets as $1.1 trillion, which is different from the $4.5 trillion of assets that it manages.

There are 16 teams left in the NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament. This chart is a proxy for frequency and/or magnitude of upsets (higher seed beating a lower seed) that have occurred at this stage since 2000.

The lowest possible aggregate seed total is 40 (each 1, 2, 3, and 4 seeds advance to sweet 16). The average since 2000 is 72. The year 2021 saw a record high total of 94. This year the total is 78.

I have students who, last semester, were given instruction by the college advisors, enrollment specialists, and librarians on how to use it for “searches.” So yes. There is enough time for college students to have already been introduced to this in a bad way and need to be retrained/retaught how to effectively use it without copy/pasting output.

People don't have to deal with data size and scalability issue? For me, I found it quite a pain having to make sure data fits the machine for in memory analytics. And handle OOM even when using parallel engine like Apache Spark.
