The $100B isn't actually using the same metric as the chart though. $100B is the total valuation of the company on the public market, but they "only" raised $3B from the IPO so it wouldn't make this list. These lists usually look at how much cash the company raised from the IPO.

I was going to query this. Arm is looking at an IPO at some point over the next year, and according to this it’d easily beat all of these … but then I realised that this can’t be market cap.

I agree that there are a few exceptions, temperature being one of them. However, most misuse of suppressed zero is not with these quantities.

So, either OP is really unlucky, drives really bad or during these seasons deer are easier to find and hit.

Ok so California has less renewable energy now than it did in 1990, this seems like a totally real thing that happened. Date may be beautiful but I don’t think yours is accurate

Trajectory is everything.
Congratulations on giving up smoking and drinking, your marriage to someone kind (I hope) and your first home! The good things we do always seem to invite more good. Well done in working to turn things around for the better. Wishing you kindness in your life, from you and for you, and serenity.

First, I have to say that there is something wrong with the data behind the graph. I can't believe the yearly disposable income could have 20%+ jumps in a month.
Second, yes the 5 year graph is misleading as it makes it look like the disposable income doubled in a month and then fell back to the old level.

Is there a latitude such that more US residents live north of that line than Canadian residents?

Two things. First, the stock prices are a bit like temperature in a sense that the absolute value of the share price has very little meaning. The share price of $10/share doesn't really tell you anything. It only tells you something in relation to the past.
Second, the relative change of the share price does matter. So, 50% drop in price is a different thing than a 1% drop. If you suppress the zero, they look the same on the graph.

On average, states have about 20% renewable usage in 2020... so in my opinion yes.

This color scheme is horrendous by the way. The random middle line looks the same as the low end.

I had the same thought. But the “middle” is not 0. The middle is actually a gain of probably around +10.3635% ((21.125 - .398)/2). I think 🤣. So really that above 0 mark is closer to a beige color.

Quite a few companies on the chart don't meet that criteria, though.

Extremely common. One of the two series will clarify RHS to let you know that its axis is the one on the right.
I've even seen charts with three or more Y axes like two on each side.

That's not even misleading, that's a first-year graphic designer who smoked crack with a 14-year-old day trader and decided to make charts.

>You’re saying most states has less renewable energy now compared to 1990? What is your data set?
Nope. Most have more. The data set is from U.S. Energy Information Administration
State Energy Data System (SEDS).

Great to hear! The value scale makes more sense to me than a simple "color scale," in many cases in my opinion.

It was still quite bad, 7.5-8 at most and that's mostly for production value.
