Andrew Gelman examines the difference between useful statistical graphics and the loathesome "information visualization" movement as gently as possible, without tearing it completely apart like you know he would if he weren't obviously such a nice guy.

Instagram's share is the most surprising thing to me on there

it makes me sad because photography is the medium that benefits most from aggressive editing - less is more. the greatest photographers only exhibited .001%-.01% of what they shot, if that

true. tho it's hardly surprising then that FB rules uber alles

Those three circles shouldn't overlap at all?

Or at most the bottom circle should be inside the right circle.

i never realized there was such an overlap between people who work out and people who don't!
― Thanks WEBSITE!! (Z S), Tuesday, 9 October 2012 15:46 (eleven years ago) link
maybe that includes people who think they're working out, but it's controversial among people that really do work out. e.g., people who walk to work and think of that as working out since other people will walk a mile after work in sweatpants and count THAT as working out. that probably accounts for the overlap. and then you add in the people who are asleep and dreaming that they would work out if it weren't all hard and stuff (these people, when awake, actually do work out, or think they're working out, but it's controversial). and where all three of those sets meet - all of those people use the speck iPhone case.
case closed.

or rather, more distinguishably truncated?
do the circles represent the # of threads, # of posts, bandwidth, or something else?

you may want to sit down for this. i've uncovered something disturbing, something that could have a substantial effect on the way that you'll experience ILX. and somehow, it all has to do with ME. what are the chances holy shit, this is exciting.
i was doing my routine morning data analysis on my thread posting history when i decided to "dig deeper" into the data and create some "data visualizations", aka charts. here's a line graph showing the number of threads i've posted over my many years on ilx (many more years than any other ilx poster):
http://i.imgur.com/ibvmKV5.png
note that for 2014 i took the number of threads i created in the first 6 months (15) and extrapolated that to an estimated 30 new threads for the entire year.
let's "dig deep" into the data and create a linear trendline:
http://i.imgur.com/3gZwbIn.png
science projects that i'll post 29 new threads in 2015. but let's dig deep into the data and see what polynomial theory has to say:
http://i.imgur.com/LdSxdPh.png
the second order of polyscience suggests that my output will decline to a similar degree, to around 28 threads in 2015. but what if we "dig deep" into the data and take it to the 3rd order? what then?
http://i.imgur.com/nzbC5sK.png
3rd order science appears to be making a surprising prediction: 50 new threads in 2015. on the way to the store to buy arthritis ointment i program my computer to take it to the next level and take the polynomial theory to the 4th order:
http://i.imgur.com/vh1X8oi.png
42 is the prediction for 2015. finding: polynomial theory appears to create trendlines that are different depending on the order. let's dig deep and reach for the 5th polynomial order:
http://i.imgur.com/J7XMQP1.png
astonishing: the deeper you dig into the data, the fewer answers you come up with. the theoretical 5th order projection is 16 new threads created in 2015. the farther i look with my mind, the smaller i become, in terms of my ILX presence. i am disturbed but also confused and angry at science, which appears to contradict itself. as i gather the kindling to make the bonfire that will burn my books of science and polynomial theory, i remember that there is one more order that can be achieved with the proper formula: "the sixth order of polynomial order".
again, you may want to sit down for this.
knowing what was to come, i sat down and produced this:
http://i.imgur.com/ticccQk.png
i will create over 500 threads in 2015. as this is the latest data i have obtained, i know that this projection is the most accurate. i am preparing to create 1.37 threads a day in 2015, all in tribute to science and order.

seriously though i don't really understand why the 6th order trendline is so crazy compared to the lower orders.
