Incredible that someone chose to publish that when they had the alternative of destroying all evidence and moving to Ecuador under an assumed name.

market "research" is literally less scientific than, and probably not as accurate as, reading entrails

120-year-old practically unknown league is fastest growing brand, hmmm Walton Simons posted:It came from Facebook: How do some of these guys have goals while not playing a match? Is there some sort of statistical thing that doesn't count a match if you didn't start?

Nope, the author just doesn't seem to think information on who played in the World Cup in 1954 exists. You can look up the exact lineup of third division domestic games from the fifties so it's just absurd.

Horrible stacking choice, when the interesting part is the ratios. But I also like the wording about the German guy winning the tournament in 2014. It sounds like he did it all alone.

Yes, it's somewhat more interesting:  At least this one acknowledges that their data period starts in 1970 to avoid stupid things like 13 goals in 0 games. Edit: kind of weird though that they highlighted Marquez and Schweinsteiger who played plenty but didn't score much... And not Cubilas or Gerd Müller who were prolific goalscorers. Edit2: waaaaait... I guess they applied some sort of scattering to limit overlaps and make the scatterplot easier to read, but it feels wrong to see data points where there is no overlap but an offset is applied, as if Schweinsteiger really scored 1.8 goals...

It's nice to see weights. I suspect that graph would look nicer if it had subtle grid markings at the integer values so you can see the explicit bins

It's because otherwise a lot of the data points would be exactly on top of each other so you couldn't tell whether some circle represented a lot of players or just one

I can't decide if I like Cuba being labeled "Guam" or Taiwan being in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Brazil more.

For me it's the dot that's off the coast of Baja California connected to the dot that isn't even on the globe, and absolutely nothing else.

Elviscat posted:Not really a chart, but enjoy this absolutely insane map of countries where a company distributes its product. This image has fuckin layers of stupidity. At first, I was marveling at the seeming mapping of a Mercator projection of the entire globe onto a quarter-sphere, but the more you look at it the more insane it becomes. First of all, why are there lines all over the place that don't seem connected to either words or places? There's a giant "M" over the whole thing for no reason, connecting empty spaces to one another. The thicker lines at first seem to be labels connecting names to places, as they correctly identify Canada, United States, Mexico, and Chile. But then what's going on with Guam(?) pointing at Chad/Niger, or UK/Sweden(????) pointing at eastern Europe? Bahrain looks correct but the word Kuwait is randomly plastered over it. The line pointing to China seems to be labeled either Japan, Philippines, or Korea. And beyond all the lines, there's also random dots everywhere, but they don't seem to correspond with anything correctly. Which label is supposed to go with the dot on Ho Chi Minh City; Singapore??? Why does Panama seem to be on Hispaniola (or is THAT what "Guam" is)?? Is "Sweden" the dot on Finland? Is "UK" the dot on The Netherlands/Belgium area? Why are Taiwan and Malaysia hanging out near southern Africa? Also, each landmass appears to, entirely independently, have a circular gradient, as if to simulate a light source. So all of Eurasia and Africa has one shine centered around Afghanistan, but Australia has its own shine, as does Madagascar, Greenland, the Americas, etc. It looks really, really dumb on the small islands, especially in Indonesia. edit: i tried to reverse image search it; didn't find the source but did find another use of the same "projection"

It has the look of an image that started its life with everything laid out properly with a bunch of well made layers all in the right place, that was then it was saved and sent to someone else who opened it in another bit of software that made an attempt to read the file but just couldn't quite figure out the layers properly ending up in a jumbled mess. That person just shrugged and published it anyway. Either that or someone just really sucks at making images and chucked it together in five minutes.
