I had to look up to confirm whether tiny sugar and salt spoons even exist (they do). I know them well enough to know they wouldn't have bought one intentionally, but you're right, I may have been eating yoghurt from some dead guy's coke spoon they accidentally bought from a charity shop.

The gently caress? Did they fat-finger a decimal point and hit “publish”? e: Wait, I get it now. It’s just the change. Every month starts at zero. The shape of the curve means absolutely nothing. The curve should not exist.

Platystemon posted:The gently caress? Did they fat-finger a decimal point and hit “publish”? yes it's using a line chart to represent something that isn't cumulative at all it's as bad as those pie charts with percentages that don't represent pieces of a whole and the percentages add up to like 543% or something stupid

Uh there's nothing wrong with a line chart plotting something that's not "cumulative"? The issue is that they're using the phrase "V-shaped recovery" when this is actually closer to an "L-shaped recovery", but is shown in a way that it has a "V" shape. It's similar to the sometimes inconsistent usage of the phrase "flattening the curve".

The numbers are wrong anyway. There was no gain. The org just doesnt want to change it because that woud be "playing politics". The numbers for both april and may are a lot lower.

SerialKilldeer posted:Aren't a lot of measuring cups/spoons inconsistent in size across different brands, too? There's inconsistency between old US "customary" measures of Cup (1/2 pint ~= 236 ml) , more modern "legal" ones (240 ml), and a sort of metricified version (250 ml). While 236 isn't very common any more, any random measuring cup you find might well use any one of these. Usually when buying a new one you'll get either 240 or 250 ml depending on what market (US/UK/Canada/etc.) it was designed for.

Hey economists. I’ve got your V‐shaped recovery right here. Shammypants posted:A lot of numbers are being updated at weird times now. Some come in late, some are updated multiple times a day, some once a day. The blue dots are WaPo numbers and the brown dots are Worldometer numbers. They are within 5000 of each other, largely because worldometer seems to get data on prisons and other areas faster than Wapo. WaPo also tracks into the night and Worldometer stops the day at around 8-9pm Eastern. We expected about 14,800 cases a day on average, but instead saw 23,000 cases a day on average.

ShimaTetsuo posted:I agree that the situation is very bad but that truncated y-axis on the "more realistic" chart is upsetting Do you also get upset by truncated axes on charts of temperature? “300 K body temperature? Seems fine. You can hardly see the difference between that and the doctor’s body temperature.” The pro move is to present unemployment as a ratio.

Platystemon posted:Do you also get upset by truncated axes on charts of temperature? Not sure what you're getting at here (I of course do get upset at all sorts of charts) but in your example not truncating the axis hides small variations which are of interest, whereas here it does not (this is an enormous drop and it would be visible even if you extended the y-axis to zero and showed the full history???). Truncating the axis here makes it seem like a "trick" to make the drop look larger, making it easy for idiots to attack you and call you a liar. It does not make the chart clearer whatsoever.

If you look at the don’t agree side, Boris leads in every category except one. I think all one can say is most people don’t really know and therefore don’t have much of an opinion about Keir Starmer.

Non-violent protesters must simultaneously be provoke a response to be effective, yet must be self-disciplined enough to not provoke a response. And allow the oppressor to oppress them without any resistance to let the oppresser 'feel a false sense of security.' And they must...discipline society with Bitcoin? Shyamalan would get a boner from that level of twist.
