In the case of Hungary the shocking part isn't the 98%. It's the fact that house prices have doubled from 2016 to 2017. Forget the chart! Now the prices are tripled compared to 2016. How? 1. Global trend 2. Local, government-supported real estate mafia.

If you’re ordering food delivery, you have the means to tip at least $1. It’s only $1 to you after paying a premium to have someone prepare your food, and an app organize the delivery.

The grueling job is the delivery for so little pay. So the tip means the most to the delivery person. It adds up in a shift if everyone would at least tip something.

So little to the payer, adds up to a lot to the person working.

Just tip something.

There’s actually a couple I didn’t include in my main tracker too because I don’t have a ton of information on them. I know their make and model but not exact year which I also track. (2003 ish) But also they’re all identical and can only be differentiated by their license plate. So I think I drove 2 of those but it could’ve been 3 or 4

It depends. Lots of companies aim for 0 profit, because why pay high taxes and give money to shareholders when you can invest it back into the business instead? And it is even more relevant for high growth companies when additional customers are more valuable than money in the bank. Amazon famously did this for like two decades.

I primarily based this project on the most recent phylogenetic statistical analysis from Chang et al. 2015 (University of California, Berkeley) which charts the divergence of the Indo-European language family

Link to .pdf file of the paper (you can find their tree on Figure 2)

Link to the wikipedia article about the Indo-European language family

I expanded Chang et al.'s tree by including extinct languages, and by charting the geographic spread of languages (encoded in the colour of each branch). Many areas are simplified for the sake of making it readable. Uncertainty is indicated by dotted lines and question marks.

My entirely arbitrary rule of thumb for including a language or not was if it had ~2 million native speakers, or I sometimes included obscure/minor languages if they had an interesting history that caught my attention (e.g Ossettian). Pls don't @ me complaining about the lack of Faroese!

Languages that belong to different language families are obviously not included. These include: Hungarian, Finnish, Basque, the Dravidian language family of south India, and the Semitic language group of Africa and the Middle East

I am not a paleolinguist, so there are likely errors and oversights. I just wanted to learn about a fascinating topic and produce something along the way to inspire others to do their own research.
