As a company in a Gartner Magic Quadrant that's not actually that bad a chart, they make worse, far far worse. Which you then have to try and interpret the results of so you can end up in the right Quadrant next time.

We've hired some ex—gartner analysists to tell us who we have to pay to move up.

The Cheshire Cat posted:To be fair the American legal system does this too. Because of double jeopardy police generally won't charge people unless they're absolutely sure they can get a conviction, since if the person is acquitted at trial and later evidence turns up that 100% proves their guilt, oops, too late, you can't charge them again. Im not sure what the US system is exactly but in the UK the police will charge you if they have any notion you might have done it and then the Crown Prosecution Service decides to prosecution service decides to proceed or not. They have to think theres a greater than 50/50 chance of a successful prosecution. The police don't really get to decide anything much and decisions to charge usually fall on the side of caution and to charge just in case.

Not really, most people specialise and don't have much reason or inclination to look at what other people do in their department far less in others. Is this just another case 'goons deliberately don't understand anything'?

One thing to note is that's not Microsoft's doing really, it's the thousands of cowboy programmers out there that put in these checks into third party apps.

Katt posted:Okay guys we need a chart that shows that US gun violence is not so bad. So what what we do is we just gradually increase the smallest bracket until the US is green like Canada and Europe. If you want to know just how egregious this is the intentional homicide rate for a few of these countries is USA = 4.88 Putting it in the same bracket as the UK = 0.92 (The UK isn't even particularly good here) The US has as many murders as the whole of Europe added together, so they seem like they should all be green no murder zones. The nearest countries to the US in terms of rate are such luminaries as Rwanda, Somalia,Kazakhstan, North Korea and impressively managed to double the murder rate in Libya.

Absurd Alhazred posted:Do you understand the distinction between primary and general elections? Because you can absolutely just walk up to vote without registering for a party in the latter, while the former varies by state. Most of Israel's parties require you to register to vote in their primaries, too (if they have primaries at all), and unlike in the US, they actually charge dues. This isn't some magical American thing. Using Israel as an example of something not being a weird American thing doesn't really work. Primaries themselves are an American thing, like they were invented in America in that form. Obviously other countries copy the idea from America, but they are an American thing.

Don Gato posted:I'm going to guess the creator was from the UK. If the creator is from the UK then the UK would be pink not red. The height of the bars seems to be pretty arbitrary as all 'areas' are the same height. So UK gets the fill the whole of the UK bar, but the USSR never controlled all of Northern Europe so it doesn't. The chart is a perfect example of people displaying potentially interesting information, the rise and fall of empires, and having no idea how to do it. If you take the British Empire on there you might think it's a footnote in history when it was twice as large as the Ottoman Empire at their peaks. The Mali Empire is similarly reduced in stature, at it's peak about 3/4 the size of the Ottoman Empire and one of the richest empires to ever exist but it's tiny line in Africa.

Cause of death is really interesting, Heart disease is killing more people in the UK now, like 3% up on previous years. But it's not that Heart diseasehas become more dangerous as such (Rates are up due to obesity and diabetes) , it's just that we've made it much much harder to die from other things, so proportionally Heart disease is killing more people.

AFewBricksShy posted:No, my point is that fahrenheit has a larger scale of temperatures, and the values from 0-100 are ideally suited for the weather conditions that humans live in. What? because time is not decimal we should use some backwards idiotic temperature system? This 'argument' for using fahrenheit is still hella dumb. Like jesus christ we use temperature for more than how hot it is outside. Oh some boiling water, guess that's 212 degree, yes this is fine, oh some ice 32 degrees obviously. Cling to your insane loving system because you like your freedom units or whatever but don't try to justify it as a good idea that's somehow more useful.

What the gently caress Britain Savoury puddings are steamed and usually a suet pastry, it goes back to the history of what a 'pudding' was before it became another word for dessert. Steamed puddings like steak and kidney are delicious. I've steamed many a pudding. Just wait till you find out about canned steamed pudding where you literally boil a can. Best dessert pudding is Yorkshire Pudding with Jam.

Moot .1415926535 posted:I’ve had beef Wellington once (here in the states) and it was delicious. Is it somehow worse in England? Beef Wellington is great, no idea why it would be so low on the list. Putting things in pastry is very much our wheelhouse. British food isn't bland, it's just not covered in sugar and hot sauce. The reason for the perception is that the UK government sold rationing to people during the war by creating cookbooks promoting a different diet. Which is why we have brown bread interestingly. The campaign was so successful it changed the diet of people in the country radically for generations.
