twoday posted:I'm circled triangle This is a pretty simple network visualization that only shows connections to one node (and doesn't show the edges, obviously). The size of the other nodes implies some information about the rest of the network. It's not that bad but the excessive labeling and description makes it seem far worse.

That is nothing. Guy of Tuscany had two gay remarriages and gave birth by himself but of course it was Marozia who got the bad reputation.

That defense is somehow worse than the chart. "You only need to look through Amazon.com and various films to see that my use of 'Dark Ages' is accurate. Historians have no right to say it is wrong!"

catfry posted:My biggest gripe is, what is gained by showing this data in a diagram that can't be done with a simple list? Literally no extra info in the right hand side. Being able to post it on r/dataisbeautiful, which is currently enamored with that style of diagram, especially if they can make it utterly useless as a way of conveying information.

Among other things, I am fond of the insane way in which inconclusive battles, Pyrrhic victories, and victories in minor battles are not only counted as positive but are often more positive than decisive victories against superior forces. E: Napoleon really padded his stats with some garbage time victories in the War of the Sixth Coalition. King Hong Kong has a new favorite as of 17:20 on Oct 18, 2019 |

Platystemon posted:Places commonly described as “desert”: Los Angeles, which gets fifteen inches of rain per year. To reinforce the point:  I'm reminded of a YouTube "geography" video I saw pop up that completely ignored the geography of most of the state.

DACK FAYDEN posted:Well, it'd get in the way of a nice line, just like their failure to carve out Pennsyltucky and just put two blue dots for Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, right? It’s worse because there is still actually a line in general if you don’t mind including steppe, it just needs to bend to include northeastern California, eastern Oregon, and eastern Washington by following the Cascades.

OwlFancier posted:Absolutely no political stress whatsoever in the decades following the american revolution. That first graph looks like it would have been displayed on the Fox News of 1861 as a secessionist talking point: “The country can’t handle Lincoln’s tyranny! This has nothing to do with slavery, a tranquil and orderly institution!”

Count Roland posted:poo poo like this really erodes my confidence in the "softer" sciences. I've spoken with biologists that happily put their small samples into a statistical black box that yielded "results" with absolutely no understanding of the process. Charts like the above are just insulting. I hope this poo poo isn't as widespread as it seems. Since when is biology a “soft science”?

Tree Bucket posted:Aside from Never Forget Georg, why is there such marked seasonal variation in the muder rate? The increased rates of certain crimes (like assault) in summer is pretty well established, although I’m not sure there is also a definitively established reason. It would make some sense that people have more interactions with each other when it is warmer and that, as a result, there are more assaults.

There are some really bad new traffic circles in the US that I’ve encountered that have lanes (with minimal signage) that require you to turn at the next street rather than a later street. In one case, I accidentally did that and there was no route back except driving 5 miles out of the way, which was even worse because it was a super low-density area where the traffic could not possibly have justified a dedicated turn lane like that. Some other traffic circles are just really poorly engineered. There was a new one on a state highway where the speed limit is usually 60 miles an hour but the curve on the traffic circle was such that trucks had to take it at less than 10 miles an hour. If the traffic circles were more like European ones, it would be great.

I’m the (1) break in the X-axis for centuries where data on interest rates definitely exists, (2) the weirdly precise marks within the break in the axis, (3) the totally incorrect data underlying those marks (lol at a 4% interest rate on a short-term loan before the eighteenth century).
