China vs US lmao… no wonder China wants the war to end but US not that much.

Thanks for the feedback and sorry, it could have been clearer that we distinguish between "figure" and "toy". I didn't know how to add any extra explanations to the image in Reddit. Thus the blog post contains further details.

so the chart’s kind of misleading. A reasonable person reading this (like me) would assume that “figure” is synonymous with “toy,” so we’re looking at whether or not the kinder egg had anything inside. But you’re saying what’s being measured here is whether it has something that you want, personally. So, that’s really confusing without an explanation

fixed. if you are curious... it is because the data has it listed as "Lexington-Fayette." data is not in fact beautiful.

Agreed, I tried in https://mhoehle.github.io/blog/2016/12/23/surprise.html to calculate a functional shape.

The right hand plot gives an indication of such a plot. The blog post, where the figure is taken from, contains such a smoothed line obtained from applying some machine learning classification algorithm to the task (deliberate overkill! :-)).

Not sure I fully understand the comment, but the content of the egg is either some kind of toy or a figure. So what varies is the content of the egg, not the chocolate. For some example pictures see https://mhoehle.github.io/blog/2016/12/23/surprise.html.

Not OP, but I've had this conversation with 3 employers. They always understand if you're honest. If it's a red tape deal breaker for them, they'll see it on your resume and won't call you back. Most people will just be jealous you got a long break, even if it wasn't what you needed or wanted.

What's so toxic about it? I haven't read the reports yet on what caused the failure and none of the headlines hint either.

Because if the Swiss government acted as dealer of last resort, buying up the assets under management, then Swiss dept to GDP ratio skyrockets.

So yes, it is good to compare a stock (like a lambo) to a flow (your income) in the event of a purchase.

Great job, good luck at the new place!

something’s weird here. How can a kinder egg, which comes out of an automatic manufacturing facility, vary by up to 10g and still not have a toy inside? The median weight of the candy is about 32g, so how do you get +/-5g, a big difference for such a lightweight candy, so regularly if there’s not a toy inside?

You’ve got to hand it to Russia, they really have helped Ukraine a lot through this war. They’ve also provided far more weapons than even the US

Now try to beat Munich: 3,126 counties.

Okay, hold up. I typed in "Lexington." Are you trying to tell me that the entire state of Kentucky is covered with counties that would be referring to the Lexingtons in other states rather than Lexington, KY?

I'm sorry but that is completely broken. You have something very busted in your dataset.

This website is apparently not aware of the existence of Fargo, North Dakota

EDIT: or Topeka, Kansas

Yes theoretically speaking, however, I was using the existing data/history as the fit, but starting at 0. The max here is ~6 (100/16) so I added a little to the upper end.

I just now gave OP an award on your behalf

Birth rate overcompensates for higher infant mortality. As infant mortality drops, birth rate drops and population growth slows.

Seriously check out a Hans Rosling video it will blow your mind.

Here's one to get you started https://youtu.be/hVimVzgtD6w

We looked the other way when Saudi Arabia took down the world trade centers, killed Kashogi, and had a horrible war with Yemen. We still consider them our ally. I don’t know why people are so confused about China wanting to be Russia’s friend. They have so many resources that they need.

But if they're dying it should be canceling out the population boom

would have needed that back in the golden days of surprise eggs
