The first chart is super confusing. The OP line is changing size as the circles move, yet (a-b)/2 is a constant.


I've fixed that.


I honestly don't get why these bots are sending PRs just for the sake of it. I don't see an economic incentive, other than maybe trying to build a rep and then hoping they can send a malicious PR down the line... any other reason?

Let's make it easy for everyone. Here are the terms of pretty much every legal document people scroll through without reading:

> you own nothing

> the company owns everything

> you have no rights

> you promise not to try and exercise any right you think you have

> if you ever convince yourself that you actually do have rights, you agree to binding arbitration with the firm we pay

> you cannot do anything the company doesn't like

> the company can do literally anything it wants whether you like it or not

> the company is not responsible for anything, ever

> the company makes absolutely no guarantees about literally anything

> in case of any damages it's exclusively your fault and you agree to indemnify us in all possible circumstances

If you think Trump did that because he cares about Democracy I have some news for you regarding the Jan 6 rioters...


Took way to too long to even understand what the numbers were, or what the title is referring to...
