Something similar but for flights and in 3D.

I think the comment you are responding to is a troll.
Do you always cope in that way when you hear things that contravene your conditioning?

Why not simply say “Somali piracy” since that it what is happening and the Somalis are doing as a feature of their nationhood, if one can call it that. The piracy is not a disease afflicting the Somalis, they are perpetrating it just like how a robber robs you, he is not afflicted with robbery against you. Where does that kind of nonsensical mentality even come from. I’m old enough to remember being taught to avoid the passive voice, but these people today are something else with their mentally detached perspective. Are you shooting yourself in your own feet or are you afflicted with being shot in the feet?
Edit: Also, yes, I noted correctly what it said, I’m not sure why you felt the need to act as if a reframing of the claim causes some inaccuracy. But also, neither are the waters afflicted by piracy, it’s still just Somalis engaging in piracy… human’s engaging in piracy, not some disease or animal afflicting the water like a pestilence … just humans choosing to be dirty, as evident by their choice to engage in piracy.
I see people really don’t like seeing Somalis as humans with equal agency and responsibility. That’s the kind of racism that is so pernicious.

#75This is weirdly beautiful, like the maps of undersea internet cables that frequently come up here as well. You can clearly see: 1) oil flowing out of the Persian Gulf from the Middle East to China 2) ships waiting to get through the Panama and Suez Canals 3) why people talk about “shipping lanes”. There are some obvious tracks everyone follows, because it’s the cheapest way from A to B (e.g. cape of good hope to stra…
On 3, Traffic Separation Schemes (TSS) will be making things look tidier (and safer) for many of the more organized flows.
In a TSS, you have to drive on the right, and if you're crossing one, your heading (not your track) must be as close to 90 degrees, to minimize your exposure time. When you're sailing this can be a big pain. The anti-collision rules are altered in a TSS.

#76Try this one. Real-time global view of all registered ships. You can click on any little triangle or type in a ship's name and see it's location: https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:-37.3/cent...
This is so cool, what I was hoping/expecting the post to be like

Re: Shipmap.org
#78Interesting that there is very little shipping traffic around Greenland, considering that is supposed to be so strategic.
It's strategic from a military perspective, not economic perspective.
Very little of anything actually goes on in Greenland. It has a population of less than 57,000 and a GDP of less than $5B. The US maintains significant military presence, including airbases, missile launch and intercept capabilities, and ensures the US controls the North Atlantic, instead of Russia.

Re: Shipmap.org
#80Great visualization.
IMO 2020 regulation unintentionally contributed to global warming while reducing air pollution. This rule drastically cut the amount of sulfur permitted in ship fuel, which improved public health but reduced the reflective effect of atmospheric aerosols that had been masking some global warming.
You'd think the people making the rules would try and look at all the impacts.
