Surprised china isn’t on this list

The French ones are much more egregious, the three of them are sections of a couple of blocks adjacent to Paris proper.

Since when is Manhattan a fucking city?

Edit: after looking a little more into it, it seems that more places are not actual cities, the title should be more like "top 15 areas..." This makes me think the graph itself MIGHT also be bullshit.

Tl;dr: another clickbait reddit statistic that might be false, nothing new here.

They are not adjusted - I will be sure to do that in the future! I can do a second version even.

Good call.

Probably r/USdefaultism - couldn't stand to see a "top xx" list without the USA in it

No. Matplotlib

That map is amazing. Did you use Mapbox?

I thought Manhattan is an area of New York City, not a city itself

Really? $25M for Rain Man? They travel around for a bit and there are some exotic cars, but I'm struggling to figure out why it cost that much compared to other films with heavy/complex SFX and such. Either there was bad financial management involved or Tom/Dustin really had a payday.

"ITS LIKE 1% OMG!!!" -what people with a PHD In Economics say

I assume these numbers are adjusted for inflation? 2022 dollars? You should make a note of it on the chart in the future.

Minimum wage isn't the entire economy, it's like 1% of the economy. That's basically meaningless

La la Land was a very low-budget movie!

Fair. A state organization would have trouble getting legal footing, but an industry or professional organization, like the ADA or something, wouldn't. You still get the seal to use.

Note that dollar figures are not adjusted for inflation.

Edit: inflation disclaimer

This CPI is an indicator close to the accumulated information. The line on the graph is not straight. It matches reality.

The other thing is that inflation has nothing to do with the price of gold, and placing them on the same chart is strange.

OG beautiful data. This graph started it all.

This is really cool. Have you considered normalizing by available landmass per meridian? Additionally I'd love to see this done along the lines of latitude for a longer period of record. I would suspect that as climatic conditions shift to extremes/higher variability you'd see an interesting pattern with fatalities being higher in the equator lats than poleward ones.

Nic work!

This visualization shows documented conflict fatalities since 1989 as recorded by the Uppsala Conflict Data Program. Each point represents a single event in the dataset with at least one fatality plotted by date and longitude. The size of the points corresponds to the number of fatalities. The brightness corresponds to the density of points (ie. the number of events occurring in roughly the same time/place) A couple of notes about this visualization:

• Exactly what counts as a "conflict death" is inevitably quite fuzzy. Do you count conflicts between police and criminal organizations? Political assassinations? The definitions that the UCDP uses can be found here: definitions, methodology
• Since this visualization only accounts deaths that could be verifiably documented, it likely undercounts the true death toll in many cases, particularly in areas where outside observers have limited access. Each event is assigned a range of casualties based on the different sources that were found. This visualization used the best estimate for each event.
• What constitutes an "event" varies throughout the dataset depending on how different conflicts were documented. In some conflicts fatalities were aggregated after the fact and appear as a handful of large points. In other conflicts the data is much more granular and is composed of a large number of smaller points.

I've also put together a variant that colours the points by continent (link), and one that plots each continent individually (link).

That would draw the ire of constitutionalists, as such an organization would be in direct conflict with the 1st Amendment - freedom of the press.

Unfortunately, we can't teach common sense.

I'm not saying there aren't good independent journalists. However, it's quite a challenge to separate the signal from the noise, especially if you're prone to confirmation bias.
