I would be really interested to see statistics about the differences to the rest of society.
On maps of e.g. the birthplace/hair/color/... I'd be more interested in the deviation from national averages.
A lot of people are born in big cities, so a lot of pornstars will be born in big cities. I'd be interested to see which cities have a disproportionally low/high number.
Even with the hair color, I'm wondering what the deviation from the national averages looks like.
p.s. obligatory xkcd: http://xkcd.com/1138/ http://xkcd.com/1138/
- prawn 14y agoI'd be interested in comparisons to sport. e.g., in a pro basketball league, a significant percentage of players never play more than a handful of games while a more select group rack up hundreds. Both groups are performing after all.
- vacri 14y agoOn the xkcd thing, meh. If your users map is similar to a population map, then it means you're appealing to a broad slice of the population. If it's centred in one area, that means you're not appealing outside that area. There's nothing wrong with such a map if it's interpreted correctly.
- randallsquared 14y ago> If your users map is similar to a population map, then it means you're appealing to a broad slice of the population. Er, no, it just means there's no geographic component to your appeal within the limits of the map. Could be a very narrow slice, but even distributed in population.
- vacri 14y agoI think we mean the same thing, but are describing it differently. Certainly what you're mentioning is information in itself, not 'no information'. Of course, this doesn't mean it shouldn't be a pet peeve, just that being a peeve doesn't mean it's actually wrong or misleading, just that it's annoying to the... erm... 'peevee'?
