Are those all created as parodies? Third one in a similar style and two have the X axis messed up in the same way (for the third the X axis doesn't have value labels). I get what they are going for but I don't think that graph really maps out what the commentary says...

Remember that thing a little while ago where a bunch of news outlets were reporting about the massive carbon footprint of streaming videos? https://twitter.com/DrSimEvans/status/1232311458144362503 The graph is fine but the original analysis turned out to be truly reprehensible. Shift Project saw a figure of "3Mbps" and decided that meant "3 megabytes per second". The whole article is worth reading, Factcheck: What is the carbon footprint of streaming video on Netflix?

That’s a stunning display of tech illiteracy. That’s like losing the oil cap on a car and asking for a replacement “710” cap.

I knew something was wrong because the chart obviously didn't map to rich/poor states, or to the states that refused Medicaid expansion. It took me a minute to finally see it

Just for the curious, here's the correct states, and I drew a line around states that did not implement medicaid expansion.

I'm wondering how the initial map happened. They probably had some automatic scripting thing that hosed up the labelling but it's more fun to think that it was just someone trying to label all the states from memory, but they had never actually seen a map of the US before.

CannonFodder posted:Yeah most of the states are one off, starting with DE or FL as far as I can tell. FL is the first state alphabetically showing the wrong postal abbreviation, and DE isn't included. Yep, it took some thinking but WY->AL, WI->WY, and ID->IL were the ones that jumped out. Not sure what's up with the empty ones.

A book of chess puzzles but it's puzzles to figure out why chart and graph data make no sense, excluding ones that straight up try to deceive for further an agenda. (those go in another puzzle book)

Reminds me of this:  Unperson_47 posted:A book of chess puzzles but it's puzzles to figure out why chart and graph data make no sense, excluding ones that straight up try to deceive for further an agenda. (those go in another puzzle book) I've done exercises like that in data visualization/statistics courses. I recall one featuring that "hole left by the Christian Dark Ages" chart.

HerStuddMuffin posted:I don’t know, I think it makes its point very clearly, if the point is that there’s a small outbreak in China and the rest of the world is freaking out over nothing (ok, over a common cold.) Only because the scale is warped by making it linear. Iran, Italy, and South Korea are colored to have the same number of cases as Sri Lanka, despite having thousands of times more cases. But because China has 15x as many as those countries, it's crowding out the top of the scale. It's a useless map.

By contrast the Russian Arctic islands are attached to one of the 85 federal subjects of the Russian Federation broken up into five types you will learn in our explanation and are more 'normal' bits of land. Edit: also Svalbard apparently has no representation in the Storting, because the constituencies are equivalent to Norwegian counties. Albino Squirrel has a new favorite as of 00:34 on Mar 4, 2020 |
