[RD] Daily Graphs and Charts

Wouldnt be it a coldest average temperature map then?

 

[IIHAAETTEAAHII]

That is a terrible graph.

not labelling your axes when they have the same scale is indeed horrible.

But I keep getting promotions as I get older and more experienced!!!

What's the definition of a worker in that graph?

 

[cybrxkhan]

What's the definition of a worker in that graph?

I'm guessing someone employed?

 

[Borachio]

So the rest are self-employed or employers?

I'm a bit mystified, tbh. There's not necessarily a valid distinction to be made between employed people and others.

I presume, too, that "earnings" relates to the income from work, rather than income from other sources?

vs people who don't work at all I assume...

i.e. workers includes only individuals with an income.

Whereas the other line includes all women/men even those who say live off their parents/spouse/savings/etc. and don't have an official income.

 

[Borachio]

Yet it clearly says earnings, and not income. Although if it was earnings, other than workers income, I'd expect the all men/women figures to be higher than the workers figures. Rather than the reverse, as shown.

So... I'm conflicted about it. Dunno.

Yes, it could also be called that.

I like that little presentation.

More interesting still would be an exploration of why Mexican energy prices are higher than US prices. Mexico's geography would seem to make it excellently positioned to take advantage of wind and solar, going forward.

Wouldnt be it a coldest average temperature map then?

Yes. The temperature hardiness of most plants is determined by the cold they can tolerate. Heat isn't as much of an issue; although it obviously can kill plants, a heat wave will never have the damaging effect that a cold snap will.

Yield curve inversion: a recession indicator with a perfect 50 year long track record at predicting US recessions without false positives.

I wonder how well it does for other economies, though. This may just be a lucky streak.

I don't know where they get that 80% figure from actually. It doesn't jive with what I can find on industrial or household electricity prices from the IEA or OECD.

Edit: Actually this is more thorough. http://www.iea.org/media/training/presentations/statisticsmarch/ElectricityInformation.pdf table 3.6

Mexico prices for electricity for industry at about $117/MWh and USA $70/MWh.

Across the OECD though it looks more like industrial electricity is really cheap in the US rather than expensive in Mexico. This should includ taxes and subsidies.

Well I'm not sure if "predicting" is the right word. I've only consciously lived through one recession, but it was clear by the end of 2007 that we were going to be in recession in 2008; that the yield curve inverted wouldn't have offered much more predictive power to what we already knew. I mean, if you look at the theory of why the yield curve might be inverted, then it actually requires a significant number of people to think that the US will be in recession in the short term. In other words, a significant number of people need to have already predicted a recession, presumably using information other than the yield curve. So I'm not sure this is actually "predicting" anything in practice itself -- rather, it's the result of a large number of people predicting a recession.

Normandy Campaign day by day:

 

[Thorgalaeg]

Interesting. It is also notable that a very fundamental objective like Caen was fought by the Anglos only. It looks like Americans left to the British and Canadians the hardest part of the invasion.

Muslim Kingdom of England, anyone? Any time now, I would guess, and then, bam! Shariah on all of you!

Fortunately, this graph has two words that are quite important - "probabilistic" and "average". Also, "projection". Well, that's three words, but who cares.

This study assumes that immigration to the UK will continue at present rates also in the future.

I also saw a study which estimates that by year 2100 population of Bangladesh will increase 10 times and exceed 1,500,000,000.

Obviously Bangladesh cannot sustain a population density of 10,000 per one km2 so all these people need to emigrate.
