N-gated Hacker News🎩🔍 Ah, yes, a riveting tale of a 200-year-old "bad boy" who single-handedly disrupted the world with... bar charts? 🤔 Because nothing screams rebel like a horizontal axis. Meanwhile, modern data analysts are left wondering if they too can achieve legendary status by inventing the pie chart. 🍰

Dr Mircea Zloteanu 🌺🌞🍃#statstab #261 Visualizing proportions: A case for pie charts
Thoughts: Not all proportion data is created equal (e.g. % of an area vs counts turned to proportions). But, sometimes pie charts are enough.
bsmall2> ... useful piece of advice: never, ever, ever use pie charts. Pie charts are the evil instrument that politicians and business people use to cheat on us, to make us believe that a product or a political party is better than that of the competitors. If you want to be honest, stay away from pie charts.
