steinrokkan posted:If your business can be upended by a flat fee of 35c per monthly subscription, you shouldn't expect your business to survive for very long. most patrons donate a buck or two a month (since if you donate more than a buck or two a month to a podcast or webcomic then imo you belong in jail for being a weirdo or sex pervert) and so the people who use patreon rely on volume of low donation subscribers. Doubling the amount of fees on these (in the case for $1/mo) hurts.

Irradiation posted:There is nothing wrong with that graph. Year is meant to be used ordinally, so it’s silly to give it a categorical color map (and a lovely not-color-blind-safe one at that), but I’d give it a 7/10. Also the trends seem to be mostly linear, so a table or bar chart with just the slope term would do a better job of conveying the rate at which the forecasting is getting better, if that’s the intent.

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.

I implemented that in D3 (under the assumption that there's a bezier transition from "normal" to "compressed" ticks) and it gets even more devious when stuff moves into and out of the region of focus e: example:

i like the part in blindsight where the vampire uses screaming human faces as high dimensional data visualization and it turns out in the references that the author was assuming that chernoff faces were the gold standard high tech technique for multidimensional data

ishikabibble posted:Is yes. the variables are age-standardized incidence rate, proportion of incident cases, time trend in incidence, mean age at diagnosis, histological verification, mortality/incidence ratio, death certificate only cases and duration of cancer registration. they map to mouth curvature, hair length, # forehead wrinkles, nose height, ear height, eye height, eye vertical position, and mouth vertical position. the exact mapping is behind a paywall and i can't be assed to look it up. so the whole idea with chernoff faces is that we're good at summarizing/clustering faces rapidly (like, we're extremely good at finding the single frowning face in a sea of smiling faces, or determining if a crowd of people are generally happy or sad), so you come up with a mapping (the original paper used 13 or so dimensions including face shape and so on) and then you cluster the faces together or identify outliers (so dixville's "iowa is tripping balls" is a legitimate insight in this epidemiological dataset). here's an example from the nyt:  an unfortunate set of problems is that these suck so bad and that's not how face perception works really and you have to get really lucky with your encodings for you to reliably see anything important.

The Cheshire Cat posted:Another problem is that facial expressions carry emotional meaning loaded into them, and if you map your variables badly, you might end up with say, Miyagi up there who's just so loving pleased with himself about getting lung cancer. right, for instance: (not my work, thankfully)

steinrokkan posted:Has there been any research on how logarithmic scales influence the perception of the average person, and on how they respond to normal vs logarithmic graphs? a little bit and the answer is mostly “people don’t interpret log scales correctly” especially in things like bar charts where people are comparing the heights directly rather than reading off the legend

the only way for a self-driving car to behave ethically is to do donuts and then jump off ramps and then crush cars with its big tires and then fire comes out of the exhaust and also the self driving car is a monster truck and all other vehicles are illegal

that's one of the graphs that made stephen few sooooo mad at mccandless that he refused to do an ama on /r/dataisbeautiful because he thought that it was too close to mccandless' information is beautiful book and he didn't want to be perceived as supporting him in an way. he also wrote a blog post about how he was mad that somebody didn't use their platform at a university to denounce mccandless giving a talk there previously.

every other x axis label has a gray vertical line indicating its position in the main chart, including the 1000 EST tick (but at the incorrect location given the linear axis). i think it’s just mislabeled (as 1000 GMT instead of EST, say)

i guess i should be more explicit that i'm not a big fan of this guy and the methods he uses (especially the way that he sort of sweeps all ethical concerns under the rug with a "gee ethics sure is a complex topic, also if we tried to address the racism and safety concerns in our platform in a way that impacted usability for straight white dude they'd just move somewhere else so our hands are tied")
