It's from 2018 but this is still my favorite map because it's a completely different way of looking at the world: Each square represents 500,000 people, so size is determined by population rather than territory. If you zoom in a little, it's pretty wild

Did you just read about how traditional Medicare is about to require prior approval - and they’re going to hire **AI companies** to dole out those approvals?

It's not a problem for research to yield a negative result.
You have to find things that don't answer your question to narrow down the search for what does answer your question.
Not funding science because you didn't get a positive result prevents us from finding the positive result!

Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax the rich is a 2% tax on income over $1 million.
If you make $1.1 million, you’d pay an extra $2,000.
