My bad. It was much more obvious on my computer. Now that I'm on a cell, it's apparent that the hashing on the BBCAN11 bars is rather hard to see.

Now that I'm on my cell, I realize it's rather hard to see the hashing on the BBCAN11 bars. But yes, your understanding is correct: each day has a smaller BBCAN11 bar directly to the right of the BBCAN10 bar.

So days 1 and 2 are really the only days where engagement was even remotely similar.

This seems like bs to me. R&D only really helps already highly developedto eek out that last bit of progress. The problems with most of the under developed countries are much more foundational than anything else.

That legend and my OCD are not going well together

Not to mention, how are they even recognizable? If I smash a spider with a shoe, it's gonna look like a splat with legs.

Now with a fucking car?

It was obviously a generalised comment. Even so, SK is clearly war free for all intents and purposes. Israel is a hot mess that is an exception but even there the average person can go about their lives with barely more consideration than the west had during terror attacks.

I am the treasurer for my small HOA. I have an excel spreadsheet that has historic and current data of expenses and revenues. I’d like to make some cool charts and graphs to represent this dataset over time. I want to use these to present to the community and show our cash flows over time and where the money is being spent etc.

Anybody out there looking for a little side project to create some cool charts and graphs using my data? It’s not important enough for me to pay for it, but thought someone here might just want to do it for fun. It is not overly complicated dataset, and should be fairly easy for someone who does this kind of thing.

If anybody is interested let me know and I’ll send you the data.

Yeah, i don't think so either. Brazil and Ireland spends almost the same amount on R&D, but Ireland has .95 and Brazil .75...

Research doesn’t mean action either. I could study something my whole life, learn great amounts, even make discoveries but if I do nothing with the information there is no impact.

Research alone won’t change or improve a country. There’s fundamental changes to be made that don’t need research on. I think researching can help bring countries a bit further to an extent. Sweden for example has been doing quite strong in this area for a while. They have also designed better rehabilitation prisons as they have made great progress with the fundamentals. The prison system changing wouldn’t drastically improve its HDI but through research they’ve learned how to better their communities.

Watch a geography documentary about LA until they have flying cars (R&D), there is little practical approach to the modernization of highway infrastructure.

You have have causation without correlation.

I wouldn’t say all industries have no place for the second place, but yeah this is true for a decent many

Not sure I understand this. I see three separate downward trends. And are the BBCAN11 bars on the right or are they the small ones just next to each larger bar?

Big nope for the latter part actually. The two leading countries aren't on the graph- Israel at 5.44% and South Korea at 4.81% in 2020, neither is known for their peaceful existence.

what year was this graph made and from what years does the data for it comes from?

It's 2023.. I'm pretty sure the data used in this graph is very different now, after Temer and Bolsonaro's governments. Both cut A LOT of R&D investments in areas as health, education, academic research, technology and industrialization in general.

( I'm Brazilian)

The two leading countries aren't on the graph- Israel at 5.44% and South Korea at 4.81% in 2020.

That's arbitrary as well.

>Brazil’s R&D expenditure takes the form of research done in world-renowned public universities such as the University of São Paulo or the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. It can also be seen in the consistent modernization of Brazil’s armed forces and the scientific and medical breakthroughs propelled by government-funded private companies. From AI and vaccine development to sustainable agriculture and renewable energy research, Brazilians are at the forefront of regional innovation.

Since Michel Temer's and then Bolsonaro's government.. this is not a reality anymore.

>Being okayish doesn’t bring much in return in too many industries.

I think this is a major factor. There's no prize for second place when it comes to R&D. Especially if you don't have the infrastructure to actually make use of the R you're D'ing.

I think it's interesting to see this violate the usual political leanings. Blue California and New York don't fare too well, but neither do deep south Louisiana, Mississippi or Florida. On the other hand leftward leaning Illinois, New Jersey and Massachusetts are middle-of-the-road.

Ah. That's something I didn't know. Thanks for the info!

Yes it’s complicated. If you are a petro state, or rich in some natural resources. Then you don’t have to spend so much on RD to live a cushy life.

It can also be hard to reap the rewards from RD investment. A lot of high tech industries go through several consolidations and only the very top can remain and control the market. For example semiconductor, aerospace and etc. Being okayish doesn’t bring much in return in too many industries.

To focus on Lat Am countries

I had to read the title 3 times.
