I've had trouble getting d3.js to work in IE, but it's always worked for me in Firefox and Opera. Is there some new addition to d3.js that only works in Chrome and Safari?

I think asking whether wevorce provides any benefit to its customers is also a pretty good question. This is why the self-selection problem is important. 99% of wevorce users don't go to court, but is that an improvement over the baseline

Careful: there's also a self-selection effect here. Only those couples who have a fairly good chance at a somewhat amicable separation would even try a service like this. Wevorce would probably have a much lower success rate with 104 rand

Warning: Wikipedia entries on climate change have become heavily politicized, and entries on individuals are often rewritten to make them look ridiculous. See for instance the media coverage of William Connolley's role at Wikipedia. I trie

James Kim died just about 6 years ago. A lot of people blamed a GPS failure for his death, but apparently he and his family were using paper maps. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Kim

To be fair, that's 1 in 50 from a group that was relatively accomplished in an academic setting before the test. But I agree that it doesn't qualify as "genius."

I was just looking at Mike Bostock's example, and there are also some rendering problems for Afghanistan there. Maybe it has something to do with Afghanistan being the first country in an alphabetical list? I'd try putting another country
