@arthur_spirling One cause of differences could be how different implementations of OLS deal with rank deficiency. If you have lots of categories etc. I could imagine this playing a role depending on how collinear things are dropped etc.

Pro-tip: nothing will reacquaint you with the foundations of the R and Python languages faster than having scikit-learn spit out *ever so slightly* different answers than lm() for the same data when you have a lecture to give tomorrow.

@jburnmurdoch Ah, thanks for this! Great memories of Raul, Klinsmann, Baggio, Del Piero etc. Would be nice to see Pele as a one off historical comparison. Though that may invite others to ask.... ;-)

@fhollenbach Looks interesting, but it seems to lack R Markdown support -- and I have to admit that is a killer feature in RStudio that I do not want to miss.

@mobydivingdick @albertocairo Actually, Africa is least distorted (since close to the equator). It's the countries you compare it to that are distorted by our Belgian friend Mercator.

@albertocairo in 2018, Mercator would be ridiculed as "Fake News" kind of guy. Below is the real size of Africa, the continent most distorted by his projection.

@dataandpolitics Care to mention which school? I remember that Columbia students would mock NYU fans during sporting events for "ads in the subway". So, I want to have this down for my next niche joke at a polisci conference.

@maartenzam @lisacrost Nice idea @lisacrost. But this only accounts for part of the problem. Area sizes are still taken at face value, while the map projection further distorts our map visualization. It would even better to correct for the usual Mercator projection as well: thetruesize.com
