"Research scientists" (basically permanent post-docs) outside of a few fields and in my experience tend to either be really boring or really strange.

That pie chart graphic is from a Wired article. I think TED takes itself too seriously to summarize its content like that. (not that they wouldn't make a bad graphic, but that they wouldn't describe their talks so reductively)

Thanks. The "at same age" affects things (since people are earning money later and later each generation, and for the recent -84% you're basically comparing very young families). Also it's for Great Britain which I didn't notice at first (though it has a GB at end of title). Still pretty shocking.

Chitin posted:Because they're also unattractive, boring, and socially inept. Telling themselves how "smart" they are is all they have. That said, intelligence is probably the best psychometric measure there is for adults in terms of predicting real-world outcomes, which is not great shakes but, still, many people who dis IQ talk a big game about stuff that is much weaker sauce.

Maybe they actually have zero subscribers and they wanted to make a technically-true graphic that looks amateurish instead of fraudulent.

This speculation is based only on the tiny "SCMP graphics" tag in the corner, but I think this might be less "dumb person doesn't know Chinese languages are very different" and more "Chinese partisan leaning into the importance/unity of 'Chinese' language and people"

This isn't comically bad but it's a lot of bizarre unforced errors -the numbers should be in /on the circles or in the text labels, not switching. Putting $100m for one of them just because it's an American thing is dumb. -tagging the circles with lines-connected-to circles is confusing, just lines to touch the "real" circles would do it -layout of the circles is dumb / inconsistent / makes them hard to compare -could argue this is kind of a perceptually flawed approach (people aren't great with circle surface area etc.) but I'm not a purist on stuff like that -in summary this is a bad way to portray what is basically 5 numbers

This is just my ignorance probably but where is the decimal point in those "ratios". When I see 190.4 that doesn't mean "190.4 times more debt than income", does it? edit: looked it up and based on better-labeled charts, they're percentages. So 1.9x as much debt as income. pangstrom has a new favorite as of 14:32 on Aug 15, 2017 |

I wonder how much safer the roads are with fewer 16 year olds on them.... I'm sure that the 22-year-old just learning to drive is a more of a risk than the 22-year-old who has been driving for years but in aggregate fewer kids driving must be a plus for almost everyone who isn't directly dependent on selling cars or whatever.

There is a conservative/libertarian story wherein Wilson was the first/main guy to overtly change the Founding Fathers' True American Vision by shifting things towards unelected bureacrats. Also income tax.

Yeah, that or very small semi-transparent dots jittered within their boxes. Red and the blue are unnecessary/distracting, too. It's not awful, though, it's just not very good. It shows the outliers at least.

I can nitpick that chart, and it's a nitpick -- the order of the rows isn't ideal. E.g., the first and fifth rows should be adjacent. Also could use a "is a good dog" row with all green checks.

I don't want to get into the boring weeds, but any data/stats person looking at that scatterplot and that line [which, yes, is supposed to be a best fit line because that's the argument it's trying to support] wouldn't accept it. Even if Norway were not an outlier for an extremely identifiable reason, which it was (oil), and even if the axes were the right way to test the notion, which they aren't (which gets into even more boring weeds).

It's not a benefit of the doubt situation and it's still LOL, but what Phlegmish posted is definitely what it is. It's a very common "conservative" argument about art, there are versions of it about music and writing etc.

I think that's a rare defensible use of radar charts, though they implicitly suggest all the factors are of equal importance and the "data" aren't actually data of course. Like basically I would have more to say about the factors they chose than about the method of presentation but whatever.
