I find most of this awesome. But what are the plus signs? And why does it say 1 tspn is 1/3 cup? And 2 tspn is 2/3 cup? What am I missing?

The plus means you need both combined. 1/3 a cup is 5 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon. I also don't find that chart to be bad, sure the measurement system behind it sucks, but thats not the charts fault.

So what happened on the 10th of August 1941 that took the Nazis from a 99% win to near certain loss? Wiki just has some diplomatic talks between FDR and Churchill. Did they agree they should fight back that day or something?

Maybe I’ve crazy but I think for the purpose of comparing volitility the axis make sense? Both are on the same scale of 100% to 600% of the lowest value so you can compare the relative sizes accurately.

That’s not to say that it wouldn’t be better to just graph the volitity directly though.

God help me but I easily comprehended this chart.

I've tried a few times and I still go nothing. Are there 8 axis? Can you explain what infrastructure placement means?

Then again I understand (most of) the DOD Program Lifecycle chart just below it so I already know I'm insane, and I blame DAU.

That very small grey bar down the US Midwest is surprising. I guess it does line up the more populous bits of Mexico and Texas

Its probably some kind of subjective 0-10 score for each category, summed up to a total score. Its not an absolutely worthless way to compare things, but it looks like there is no weighting, so safety is worth just as much as recycleability in making the total score.

Think of a parking lot with lots of cars and you had to look at the bumper stickers on all of them and guess if the owner was an rear end in a top hat or a nice person. Bumper stickers that make it easy to guess right ("TRUMP 2024") have high predictive capability, ones that lead toward random results ("I hate Mondays") are low.

So if you saw 100 MAGA bumper stickers and guessed correctly that they all were owned by assholes, then the MAGA bumper sticker would have 100% predictiveness. If with "Legalize weed" sticker you thought all 100 owners were nice people but turns out that half of them are assholes, then it would only count for 50%.

If this is how it works, and given that 70% of the US is white, wouldn't no information at all be 70% predictive? Then since these are all below 70%, they actually slightly mean the person is question is less likely to be white if they have them?

The Rmb gain is only 1/4 the USD drop so something or things makes up the rest and isn’t mentioned on the graph
