Half of the sites I try to go to for schoolwork (Civil war history sites, Computer Science sites) are blocked by the school district. SO ANNOYING!

Looks like a martini olive. Non-sequitur I know, but that’s whatI thought when I saw it, lol.

True, but it is generally agreed that in cases like this, proportion is shown as well.

Yes, my employer even blocks emails from facebook. At least sites like graphjam aren’t blocked!

Old problem, new solution: pici (dot) picidae (dot) net
Made to break the chinese firewall:
Enter the URL you want to go.
Picidae server loads the website, makes pictures of it and shows them in your browser.
Hyperlinks still working!
Only videos and Interactives won’t work.

Venn diagrams denote relation, not proportion. All this graph says is your employer blocks a portion of sites you want to visit.

Yes, this. I work in medical billing and have to submit requests for IT to unblock INSURANCE COMPANY WEBSITES all the time.

You forgot “Sites I need to visit” in the center of “websites blocked”

It’s the same at my school, dammit. They’ve blocked every single useful website. I think it’s to punish students for not having their own printers.

…It also works with a school network… except that the portion of sites i want to visit that aren’t blocked would be much, much smaller….

This is the first time I’ve seen a properly used Venn diagram on graphjam. Epic non-fail! Mad props!

I say, you’ve unraveled the mystery behind employer site-blocking. Truly, this day shall be etched in the memories of kings and servants alike as the day the shroud was ripped away and the legend exposed for all its deepest and most enigmatic of secrets.

Perhaps your employer has found on the internet that the productivity of his staff is higher when people aren’t farting around on the internet
