Seems like I'm getting 3 reactions to this map:

  • Neat map
  • I don't understand this map
  • I will find you and kill your family for this crime against data

I'd say put me under #3, but I'd need you to draw me a map and we all know how that went last time

Thanks for putting out what is at least an interesting and engaging graphic for us to comment on! I myself have two of the three reactions you listed
