    This is a bit more obscure than that, but mostly yes.

    The real problem is that the army doesn’t want more tanks. They’ve asked congress to stop building armored vehicles. Don’t need money for tanks, want money for R&D.

    Congress love building tanks because it falsely creates jobs in their districts. So more tanks. Most of these factories are located in red districts.

    Too many tanks and they have to sell them. That’s how police can buy tanks.

    Sell all your AR15? Most AR15 owners are in red states. There are direct correlation with voting republicans and owning firearms. So if you decide to sell you AR15 it might indicate you’d switch vote? It’s a stretch but less republicans, more jobs from other types of factories (e.g. Green energy related), less money to build tanks, less armored vehicles being auctioned off to police.

    As haohao said, more data would make for more interesting lines. Also, since the data should add up to 100%, maybe use a stack graph? Don’t use straight lines. I would also try to experiment with pivoting the data; show evolution over time of a single trend (in multiple graphs). Merge a bunch of low percent items into “other” to clean up.

    Just ideas, making a great looking graph is mostly art.




  • There’s nothing particularly pretty about this graph. It’s basically an infographic that has two data points and a bunch of lines.

    My 3 year olds made prettier graphs from “join things on the left with things on the right”.

    In the spirit of this comm, the data itself is secondary to the graph itself. So replace the text with gibberish and ask yourself if it’s still a nice graph. It isn’t particularly beautiful, no. You can feel strongly about the topic, but that’s not important.



  • Having worked at quite a few startups that grew to LTT’s size, there are basically two kinds of CEO/COO; those who want to drive the culture, and those who don’t believe in corporate culture.

    I feel Linus is of the second brand, and I’ve seen it enough to know that culture emerging in those conditions get out of control and becomes almost impossible to rectify.

    Good luck to LMG, but the top is where culture starts.
