Love the article and the scientific way of looking at maps. I sometimes like to make subway maps in my free time such as this one for Rotterdam:

I'll definitely use this new insight making future maps!

Text surrounded by asterisks (*) is italicized.

Text surrounded by plus signs (+) is bolded.

Text surrounded by vertical bars (|) is quoted. If you double-click a paragraph, it will be quoted.

Text surrounded by tildes (~) is blocked out.

Symbols such as *, +, |, and ~ can be used literally by placed a \ in front of the text.

A user's name surrounded by at signs (@) links to their profile, and the user is notified that you mentioned them.

A word surrounded by hash signs (#) becomes a tag and links to posts with that tag.

Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim in a different font.

URLs become links. However, new users cannot post links in comments.

Hubski URLS become embedded cards, displaying information about the post or comment.

Text can link to URLs by using the following format: [linked text](http://theurl.com)

Youtube, Vimeo, Soundcloud, Twitter, and Spotify urls will embed the content automatically.

Image URLs (.png, .tif, .gif, and .jpg) will embed automatically.

I wish I'd had this when last I was in Rotterdam (back in April, during my honeymoon). I have been to Rotterdam twice, the first time by taking what is now the E line from The Hague. At the time, the line didn't have its underground section yet. It was the only time I've ever seen farmers and sheep from a subway train.
