This is great.

I wish the morons who show animated charts that obfuscate instead of elucidate would learn from this.

3D just obscures the depth. 2D color chart would be more comprehensible.

As seen many times before, but a much worse plot that is barely legible.

Your axes aren't labeled and the explanation is vague, so I have no idea what this is supposed to show.

Pigs check in, but they don't check out.

And that's probably 13 feet at low tide, 7 feet at high tide.

How did you manage to drive 81 cars????

I'm 67 y/o and can only recall 8 cars. Fortunately the last 4 are Porsche.

Well I have a 27" monitor so that was not a possibility. /s

This is cool, but it might be easier to read if you rotated it 90 degrees?

In which currencies? Local?

I imagine it was something like this:

A trend line and R^2 would be helpful.

Interesting data but why did you ruin the presentation by putting it in a circle and making it really difficult to read half the entries?

A simple bar chart would be more informative. Put it on a log scale if there is a wide range.

Dishonest comparison. GDP is annual. Cap is total value. You cannot compare the two. If you are at all honest, compare GDP to annual revenue, or total value of countries assets to market cap.

This is a terrible way to show the relative values. Stacking them 5 wide means you can't directly compare anything. Just show a simple bar.

What does return of dollar mean? Measured in what? Why is that base a better measurement of value than the dollar?

If dollar is measured against some other metric, then all other assets should be measured against the same one for consistency. Are they? Is US equities measured against same metric as US dollar?

At least its not animated.

The data set is so sparse that I think it is useless. Just looking at field = computer science full professor and no salary higher than 110K. A fresh PhD should get more than that.

Stop eating the box. Crust will taste better.

Gratuitous use of 2D when it is a 1D function and a simple line chart would show everything more clearly. This https://imgur.com/vEyJyrX contains all the information in a simpler form and the trend is clearer.

This made me curious; small depreciation and no lease fees for airplanes, so I looked a bit.

They have $2126M in airplanes, so obviously they depreciate very little. But their net earnings are not even 1.5% of the value of the airplanes.

Better to sell the planes, fire everyone, and stick that money in a bond.

You can also add gratuitous 3-D columns that make it impossible to compare items.

I don't necessarily agree with (1). When all values are similar it is difficult to perceive anything with a 0 based Y axis. There's no point in having a plot if you can't visually see the data. A non-zero based axis is better as long as it is clearly labeled.

Points 2 and 3 are good, though.

He was drunk when he made the last two points.

Looks like around .05 is ideal.
