That graph isn't meant to be misleading, it's just trying to rip off this famous inforgraphic: Unfortunately the authors have no idea why the original works.

popewiles posted:I'll bet you my left pinky toe that it was also meant to be misleading. Eh, the framing makes it pretty clear that despite the inverted axis, you're meant to read it as the numbers generally being bad. It's "Iraq's bloody toll", not "Total deaths in Iraq". With the "stand your ground" graph it really makes it look like gun deaths took a huge drop immediately after the law was introduced. *edit* Oh, yeah.

I read that as “it [The Gun Deaths in Florida graph] was also mean to be misleading [in addition to aping the Iraq graph]”.

The Iraq one gets a pass from me for the blood-dripping theme, and the endpoint is 0 (the end of the Iraq "war"). The biggest tell on the fake Fox News one is that the header is Affordable Care Act, as if they would call it anything but Obamacare.  Then again, picking on Fox News graphs is a little too easy.

People have figured out that truncating the y-axis is misleading, time to move on to making it non-linear instead.

Jay Rust posted:Adding a 3 in front of the 0% would fix it, unless there’s something else I’m missing Well there's the fact that it makes "51%" approval look like "100%" by virtue of being at the top of the chart. It also doesn't add up to 100% although that is obviously just them not bothering to graph the "no opinion" answers so I can give that a pass (it still looks weird to not mention the missing % anywhere though). Plus the way the lines are drawn it looks like there's 6 data points they're using, but only 3 dates on the X axis, one of which is directly BETWEEN two of the actual data points on the chart, so who knows if it actually represents evenly spaced polling or what. With something like approval ratings dates are especially relevant because you can then tie changes in the graph to specific things that happened. It's just one of those graphs that does a lot of little things wrong rather than one major "wow this is really bad" thing.

The thing that gets me most is that they're acting like a 51% approval rating on one thing right now absolves Trump of all criticism. They're deliberately ignoring the awful approval before or his dismal overall approval. But a very slim majority says he's doing a good economy job best president ever mandate of heaven shut up libtards.

That is.... wow. Even though he's worked out the numbers, I can't help but think even the teensiest perturbation would set off the biggest multi car pileup in the universe.

If you click through, the guy is apparently capable of running the equations. And he does talk about working with an astrophysicist on the tidal disruption of 'Oumuamua, so it's not just some guy throwing lots of dots on a graph.

Oh, there's absolutely some hand waving, I just meant that he wasn't just some rando with a "Why not?" attitude. A perturbation event would be, errrmmmm, "interesting" to watch. From outside the system. Interesting in a very different way to anyone on one of the planets.

Maybe that's what quasars are. The First Ones thought they were all cool, until somebody farted and the whole thing fell into the central black hole, suns and all.

The Cheshire Cat posted:Either inflation or (if the chart is inflation adjusted) just general economic downturn making materials more expensive. You got that backwards. An economic downturn usually makes materials cheaper, due to reduced demand. This is why Keynesian economics work. In a price slump, it's a good idea to borrow money to invest in infrastructure or housing, which also helps turn the economy around by creating jobs. What happened to the US cost of construction, I can't speak for, it's probably some other mechanism in play. You've had a major downturn followed by a major upturn.

Hippie Hedgehog posted:You got that backwards. An economic downturn usually makes materials cheaper, due to reduced demand. There is a long-term trend of construction costs escalating by 3.5% annually before adjusting for inflation. In real terms, it's generally more expensive to repair something >50 years old than it was to build it in the first place. It also means that a 10-year delay in a project increases its cost by ~41%, on top of whatever inflation occurs between now and then.

It just seems odd to have more or less stable costs during the sub-prime housing crash of 08. I could understand it some input prices like oil had spiked but it doesn't really correlate. Just wondering. E: Actually now I think about it 08 was when us pump prices went way up, maybe that can explain some of it. catfry has a new favorite as of 23:13 on Jun 30, 2018 |
