oh my god why is this a gif I want to murder someone edit: I clicked through looking for the data and not only could not find it but: quote:The poll has a credibility interval of 1 percentage point, meaning that results may vary by about 1 percentage point in either direction.

DACK FAYDEN posted:edit: I clicked through looking for the data and not only could not find it but: Credibility intervals are a sort of Bayesian analog to frequentist confidence intervals (but with respect to the posterior distribution, not the sampling distribution). But I agree that their description is useless because it doesn't quantify how likely it is to be within 1%.

Okay guys we need a chart that shows that US gun violence is not so bad. So what what we do is we just gradually increase the smallest bracket until the US is green like Canada and Europe.  Aw poo poo now the whole middle east and Argentina is green too. gently caress it lets run with it. Katt has a new favorite as of 22:07 on May 1, 2018 |

I was going to say "holy poo poo what is happening in Greenland" but then I remembered that so few people live there that one double homicide case is enough to push it into the second bracket on its own.

If you want to know just how egregious this is the intentional homicide rate for a few of these countries is USA = 4.88 Putting it in the same bracket as the UK = 0.92 (The UK isn't even particularly good here) The US has as many murders as the whole of Europe added together, so they seem like they should all be green no murder zones. The nearest countries to the US in terms of rate are such luminaries as Rwanda, Somalia,Kazakhstan, North Korea and impressively managed to double the murder rate in Libya.

Powered Descent posted:A nice simple awful graph from the cursed images thread. I think it's okay. It's supposed to illustrate the great famine, and show that, at a time of growth for the continent, Ireland saw a huge decline from which it recovered only recently. The dual axes don't bother me because I don't think anybody would think that Ireland is bigger than Europe, and it makes the trends easier to compare.

The great famine was genocide on the Irish by the UK government and the chart does a lot to illustrate that a famine that struck all of Europe at the time was needlessly amplified in Ireland.

Subjunctive posted:Does that mislead? It might, there's a lot more smoothing of the data with sixty-year intervals than with ten-year intervals; Europe's population would always be going up as a trend, but you might miss small variations that correlate more closely to Ireland. I don't think that's what's happening here, but my general point is that when you make a graph comparing two things you should use the same intervals for both of them.

So the graph would be better if they coarsened the Ireland data points to 60-year intervals?

It's actually kind of crazy looking at the population of Europe at that low sampling interval; the two most violent conflicts in European history barely register.

Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

Yeah it's really deceptive because you're looking at close to or more than 100 million deaths within 30 years but it just looks like a slight decrease in population increase. The fact that the Haber process caused most of those deaths and offset them by increasing agriculture yield many times over is really ironic.

I’m assuming the author took a perfectly valid chart out of a topology paper or whatever and relabeled parts of it. They could just have replaced “war, peace, etc...” with “me, my ex, memes” and posted it on imgur.

Yeah, population growth in general exploded in the 19th and 20th centuries due to medical advances leading to a much lower rate of infant mortality, so even though millions of people died in two world wars, when zoomed out and looking at the average it STILL works out to a net increase relative to previous centuries.

Where is this reversing of "few and far between" coming from? This is the second time I've seen this misconception in maybe a week. "Far and few between" doesn't even make much sense.

It's comes from people trying to use ready made idioms without thinking what they actually mean. See also "I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less". The whole point is that you care so little it's impossible to care less! Also while introvert has become real dumb, the worst is "ambivert", to describe those special people that are sometimes introverts and sometimes extroverts.

My favorite one is people misusing osmosis when they meant to abuse symbiosis instead. I can’t help picturing them exchanging solvent with their best friend through a semi-permeable membrane to balance the molarity of their solutes.
