>This is off-topic, but wait, what? #1138 is a joke about subsets of populations which look the same as the general population because there is no statistically-significant difference between geographies. It’s not a normalization joke. Normalizing per capita would still make the maps look same.
Wait, wouldn't normalization make the map look uniform, and not a population map?
- mrow84 11y agoNormalising "subscribers to Martha Stewart Living" and "consumers of furry pornography" by population would give you per-capita values, showing you places where those properties had high incidence per-person (to which you'd have to apply significance tests). I'm pretty sure it is a normalisation joke.
