Traitor. :-)

I'm a sweatpants guy, too. And I for one actually am the change I want to see in the world. :-)

Wanted to say the same. Yelp is pretty uncommon in Germany, for example, and far from being representative. I'm sure a city like Berlin would feature somewhere in this diagram if yelp were a good data source for an international comparison.

The general idea is cool, but the data source is too weak for a meaningful result outside the US.

It is a "model" about one single aspect of science.

You have misunderstood the text. It does not claim to provide the answer to how science works. It just illuminates a particular sociological aspect of the workings of science.

lmao you are funny.

I do like the public transport system. I don't even own a car because it works well.

This is not in any way related to inflation. It was 9 Euros from June to August in summer because it was meant as a one off. But the ticket was so popular that it was decided to have the ticket long-term. For financing the ticket for years you simply need a more realistic price.

It's not about whether countries have a conscience. Countries are not persons. It all depends on what type of goods the trade with certain countries is focussed on, in what way these goods are affected by the sanctions and what type of wiggle room individual companies in these countries have and what risk they are willing to take. And here the ownership structure of the companies plays a role, too.

In general one should not read too much into such a diagram. There is a real problem only if the sanctions are circumvented. And, of course, maybe it shows that we should extend the sanctions to other type of goods.
