Gall-Peters is definitely not conformal. It preserves area, but greatly distorts angles, apart from at the two standard parallels of 45 degrees north and south. This results in the shapes of land masses getting very squished towards the pol

Yes, absolutely! The Mercator projection isn't the only conformal projection, but it is the only one for which north-south maps to the vertical axis, and east-west to the horizontal axis. That means that it maps the whole world onto a

I can't believe I'm doing this, but I think I'm going to defend Mercator here. The Mercator projection was indeed originally designed for compass navigation, but the reason it's still used for web mapping is slightly dif

I always think of '^' and '<' as being arrows pointing at the relevant dependencies, i.e "that list of things up ^ there" or "that thing on the far left <". It can also help to think of '&l

Pure liquid water does indeed freeze at 0C, but the water in Europa's oceans is unlikely to be pure. The presence of salts can significantly depress the freezing point of water; ocean water on Earth freezes at about -2C or so. With jus

The data source is the voting records since 1998. It's run through a parametric Bayesian MCMC model. The input data and the code for last year's model, which is pretty similar, are on GitHub: https://github.com/mewo2/eurovision

I'm Irish, so I'm fairly familiar with the contest's history. I do live in the USA now though. I am a bit skeptical about how effective politically motivated boycotts can be in Eurovision. The problem is that it's not possible to cast a vot
