They've been separate entities for years. The Onion under Univision became more of a digital production house. Editorial staff was always distinct. I presume that the handful of pe…

Really neat application of the data. I'm the Director of Marketing at a mid-sized destination marketing organization (DMO) represented on your map (Aurora, Illinois -- we're actual…

Due in large part to its size, Texas is actually the only state in the United States that's susceptible to every type of natural hazard. Source: Worked in marketing for a P&C firm,…

Wouldn't be so certain about blizzards. Warming increases the amount of moisture in the atmosphere during the cold months, producing more blizzards. My only fear about living in th…

What was the inspiration for launching this? I'm having trouble creating a new site for myself right now because I'm embedded in a career that would likely frown upon a) sharing tr…

From the article: "Even if one of the parties is dishonest and deviates from the protocol, that person cannot learn anything more than if x = y."
