It’s a shame I don’t know Max’s handle in HN but if you follow him on Twitter you’ll see he’s a very big fan of that book. I think it’s mentioned in the about page of OWID.

I encourage you to read his old article https://ourworldindata.org/extreme-poverty-in-brief in which he talks about the cutout and what he did to minimize the effect. (He adjusts per purchasing power through time and locati

I personally would prefer a one time 70 MB thunderbird download rather than a recurrent 20MiB download every time it loads. I value my time more than I value my data, I guess.
