- noinput 15y ago~1% of gender answered "Other?" Awesome.
- bonch 15y agoPeople who think they're making some kind of statement by refusing to state their gender.
- btilly 15y agoNot necessarily. There are a number of legitimate ways that someone's online gender can be ambiguous. For instance one person in my circles is male, has a long-established female online identity, and has stated a gender of "other". For a different example, how about someone who is trans, has had hormones, but has not yet had the operation?
- jamesteow 15y agoUsers "looking" for love by gender: Men - 94.09% How surprising.
- dialtone 15y agoObtained like that it's not that interesting... A more interesting number would have been 'looking for love' but weighted on the size of the gender group. That results in: 2.3% of Men looking for love and 0.37% of Women. These are very little numbers.
- jamesteow 15y agoThanks for that clarification.
- ojilles 15y agoThe data set must not be very accurate. Belgium in the top 10 list of countries with Germany missing?
- true_religion 15y agoYou're complaining about Belgium when Nepal is on the top 10 list?
- taxonomyman 15y agoA lot of the location data is free text (ie. unstructured). Not easy to parse. Lat/Long more reliable, but for now, we're using AVG Lat/Long to determine country.Country data is a little skewed (for now).
- jsavimbi 15y ago3 people in Massachusetts and I'm not included anywhere. They need to spin up another cube.
- streblo 15y agoWhich one of you is on the north pole?

- statictype 15y agoHow random is this sampling? The second highest country on the list is India (kind of understandable). The third highest is Sri Lanka. I'm not sure how it got that high. Also, UK rates below Paraguay and Nepal.
- taxonomyman 15y agoIt's random in the sense that we let our crawlers just start at an arbitrary profile and stopped until we have about a million. Pretty random, thoughts?
- DanielRibeiro 15y agoRandom graph walking can be random, but it is not always. The following paper on random walks on graphs as a tool for derandomizing probability algorithms gives insight on this, as well as the probability of a random walk on a RANDOM graph being a random sampling: http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~nati/PAPERS/expander_survey.pdf http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~nati/PAPERS/expander_survey.pdf Wikipedia's page on random walks is also pretty insightful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_walk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_walk
