The authors of a new NBER paper examined the high points of the careers of both great inventors and Nobel-Prize winning scientists, and they found that the late 30s were the sweet spot for strokes of genius:

Innovators have been peaking slightly later in life as the 20th century has progressed, in part because today’s scientists have more to learn than their predecessors did:

The NBER paper found that scientists who are theoretical (coming up with new ways of thinking) tend to peak earlier than those who are experimental (coming up with answers based on existing knowledge) by about 4.6 years.

The maps never look the same size on the forum page.

Cutlass, if it's on imgur, just put "s", "m", "l", or "h" in the url, just before the ".jpg" part.

So instead of "http://i.imgur.com/9slRTRJ.png", use "http://i.imgur.com/9slRTRJl.png":

(s = small; m=med; l=large; h=huge)

Portugal and Israel are alright. Brazil, Indonesia, and Chile though...

You're one of those who consider dark chocolate to be the most "true" kind of chocolate?

From what I was told when I worked at a candy making restaurant white chocolate actually has no chocolate!

You start with raw cacão, that's the pure chocolate. Add a little sweetener and texturizer and you get bitter/baker's chocolate. Add more, and you have dark. Even more = milk chocolate. Then if you have nothing *but* texturizer and sweetener that's white chocolate.

Don't know if that's true, just what I was told.

I used to eat bits of the chocolate that fell off the clean surfaces. It was awesome. Bitter, and tannin-y, but beautiful to eat.

That's true peter grimes, white chocolate contains no chocolate.

It is also the best kind of chocolate

 

[MagisterCultuum]

White Chocolate may contain no Cocoa Solids, but authentic white chocolate is made from Cocoa Butter which derives from the same plant. (Some of what is sold as white chocolate in the US does not even contain that.)

 

[JohannaK]

Good white chocolate is rare, but it's also... good.

In any other cases, dark chocolate is usually superior.

It seems that the picture does not work, it's a png, not a gif, also, the original is composed of 50 individual gifs.

Worked fine for me! The shark catches were particularly disturbing. Also, justin beiber gets less action than all of north dakota

It looks like the map excludes some major cities (like Seattle and San Fran) in order to keep it 50-50. I'd be interested to see what proportion the blue would have had they included all the major cities.

Well, it does have the most cocoa in it.

 

[MagisterCultuum]

Dark chocolate has the most Cocoa Solids in it, but it does not have any Cocoa Butter. Milk Chocolate has both, and may thus be considered the truest chocolate.

Makes me wonder how dark chocolate holds itself together if there's no fat to bind it.
