Hmm.. let's use dark blue for values between 0.6 and 0.9, and light red for those between 0.09 [sic] and 1.0...3 e. also nothing between 0.5 and 0.6. Kennel has a new favorite as of 12:03 on Oct 28, 2018 |

I cannot help think that some of those professions were named like that out of pure stubbornness by someone who will defend the Finnish language to the death. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-mOy8VUEBk

My problem with that homelessness map is that only about 20 countries are represented. You couldn't be bothered to gather data for 7/8 of the world, including vast swaths of 4/6 inhabited continents, so why make a map that's mostly whitespace? Put it in a table or something.

frankenfreak posted:What is your reference for "visibility"? I'm asking because I can go to the central shopping district and see a worrying amount of homeless just sitting around, not even looking at spots warmed by air HVAC exhausts or that entrance to a parking garage that's basically a greenhouse etc. It's true that homeless sitting out in the open is definitely a thing here too (and it sure seems that their number is rising), but otoh things like in the video below are pretty much unheard of in Germany. My perception of the US is that this isn't necessarily something all that extraordinary - maybe in scale, but not in nature. But I admit that I might be off, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bhy3zI3wvAo

I don't want to get into the boring weeds, but any data/stats person looking at that scatterplot and that line [which, yes, is supposed to be a best fit line because that's the argument it's trying to support] wouldn't accept it. Even if Norway were not an outlier for an extremely identifiable reason, which it was (oil), and even if the axes were the right way to test the notion, which they aren't (which gets into even more boring weeds).

It's almost as if the Laffer curve only makes sense if you plot it for a single specific country, as you vary the tax rate and leave every other variable as they are... (That's how I suspect a Laffer curve is meant to be used, anyway.)

I've done some serious statistical analysis unlike those jokers at the Wall Street Journal and come up with the true relation between taxes and revenue.  U.A.E. doesn't fit this shape so I've decided it doesn't count Angepain has a new favorite as of 17:28 on Nov 1, 2018 |

It's meant to be used to lower taxes. Any actual attempt to explain or predict real world phenomena is an off-label use and not recommended by the manufacturer.
