Pretty sure this is in a text book teaching kids how to interpret piss poor graphs that were made incorrectly, which is a really really good skill to teach.

Absurd Alhazred posted:Pretty much every other country in the world has done this, though, and they did not have the advantage of working under a federal government joining them together. I'm sure there's a significant cost for this obstinacy, whether it is in imports/exports or in retraining engineers. Quantified to buttress an argument for change, along with some political will, and it's not insurmountable. Lol look at this guy he thinks the US government can actually get things done without devolving into a bipolar debate between reasoning with the rest of the world and 'Murica.

I disagree this chart is pretty rad and I enjoy looking at it. Maybe organized by color, tallest to shortest / reddest to greenest would have been easier to interpret, but then the east coast gets mashed up and is harder to distinguish.

They're very religious, which would have them lean towards the republicans of 15 years ago. Current republicans lean on a lot of anti-immigration anti-welfare rhetoric which pushes Puerto Rico back over to the left.

NoNotTheMindProbe posted:Radar charts are garbage because the shape the lines make are meaningless. Unless you're comparing a ton of things by the same categories, in which case the simple shape can make for quick interpretation. Such as characters in a video game.

They make a whole lot of sense when the categories are time. Such as twelve points, one for each month, comparing quantities of things throughout the year. This is not one of those.

Yeah but check out orange. There's some excel weirdness there where the biggest chart doesn't display orange and seems to be hidden under green. You can see it clipping through on two of the other charts

DrBouvenstein posted:
This thing is awful, just the worst. I honestly gave it a good long look and found some interesting trends, but the correlation is utterly worthless. Like median career pay to median age. Cool, looks like an opposing correlation there! Except there's no scale other than rank, so these numbers could be so loving close together this is coincidental. There's no telling whether this implies younger companies pay higher by mid career, or whether older companies paid a few cents less due to inflation. Another interesting but useless trend is Median Years with Company, % Female, and % High Job Satisfaction. Low median years should imply higher turnover, which correlates well with low job satisfaction. More women are getting into tech industry jobs as the years go on, so high turnover companies are likely hiring more women as the percentage of female applicants goes up. But the way it's placed on the graph, the creator wants to jam % Female between the obvious correlation to draw a totally unrelated point: Higher % Female = Lower job satisfaction. Lower % Female = higher job satisfaction! Wow, what's with women in the tech industry?!?

Reading the article, the guys who made the movie that uses that graph are peak Reddit MRA types who are bemoaning the fact that girls are having sex, but not with them (or have sex with them but then break up). So they persecute those girls by calling them "dumpsters" who are ruining the genes of their children, and celebrating the women who are virgins in their 20s and forever stay with the first person they have sex with. The graph is one of the least offensive things featured in their video. The most offensive is one of those MRA shitheels showed the video to 8th grade girls.

Movie theater ticket for 1: $12 average Digital download of a movie: $20 average But the graph is still flawed because buying a digital movie allows you to watch it as many times as you want, and watch it with multiple people. Watch your movie with a buddy twice and suddenly that digital movie looks great for value, where theater tickets are good exactly once for one person. The graph is made by people with no friends, or friends that would never come over to their place. Perchance because they spend their free time playing so many "long play" (non social) video games.

OK so dual Y axis is the obvious fuckup here. The bitcoin scale is 6 times larger and is thus 6 times more unstable. But why in the hell is the Yen axis flipped upside down? When the graph shows a decline of the Yen, it's actually doing better, the exact opposite of Bitcoin's trend.

Besesoth posted:It's actually not - another example of how bad this graph is. The left Y-axis is in yen per USD, so the smaller that number, the stronger the yen is against the dollar. Fantastic, an axis that's yen per USD vs an axis that's USD per bitcoin. That means bitcoins are somewhere between 8x to 10x more unstable than formal currency, but at least the trends match I guess?

Albino Squirrel posted:Stolen from the NHL offseason thread: Seams reasonable to me? There are 30 AHL teams, this chart shows the top 10. The middle 10 probably have average attendance, and the bottom 10 are going to weigh the average down a lot. Even with #7-10 you can see the dropoff gets rather severe. The only funny thing about this graph is the incredibly stupid names for those teams. Go Moose!

Travis343 posted:What that graph actually says is that people feel way more comfortable admitting they've tried pot nowadays As more states legalize it I'm sure the 51% will grow to a truer number. There's no way 8% more people polled tried it in the last year to account for the jump. You're absolutely right that comfort levels have grown by 8% instead.

Serperoth posted:Latest fatal F1 accident was in October 2014, and he died in July 2015 after being in a coma. Nah sweeperbravo had it right. Rockets carrying humans will result in fatalities 99.99% of crashes. F1 cars carrying humans will result in fatalities in maybe (total guess) 1% of crashes. One of these is a more dangerous crash than the other, and it has nothing to do with total number of occurrences or most recent crash.

Count Roland posted:EU as a country, I guess? And that the UK isn't included in it. Yeah they're comparing individual countries to the EU, when each country within has their own Olympic committee that sends their own athletes. It would be like the US sending 20 teams to each event.

Carbon dioxide posted:Kiiinda, but this graph does make you think about the fact that a larger population has a larger chance of having a good athlete than a smaller population. This does give large countries a statistical advantage, when you compare the absolute amounts of medals they got. Germany, France and Italy have higher populations than South Korea by about 10 million each, and UK is about even with all three. Australia and New Zealand combine to half the population of Italy. Yet those European countries (minus UK) only touch the leaderboard if they're combined, whereas the smaller nations are doing just fine individually. EU combines to a population 750 million, a little more than half that of China. When the EU is allowed 20 individual teams in the Olympics they pull down three times the medal count of China. The advantage for numerous teams far outweighs the advantage of larger populations.
