cant believe theres not more 1337
@mcfly
i wonder how the black spots come to be, i assume the mid orange is what banks randomly assign, the bright areas are what people choose when reassigning, and the black spots probably numbers the banks filter out, which raises the question why they dont give out these specific numbers, like, what makes them special?
@therealkuu I already asked myself if it's worth to start a pad with the black and light spaces. 1701 was already spotted...
@therealkuu @mcfly
This array is 10,000 positions and they analyzed 3.4m codes.
That's an average of "only" 340 per square, but as we can see, humans are weak, so there's an over-representation in some areas, so the mid orange is less than 340. Probably about half.
My guess is it's not unimaginable that those are just random numbers that are not found in the sample. No particular reason to filter them out.
@MennoWolff
dunno, i think then we would see a more even distribution of the darker colors, but its mostly the darkest one plus one step brighter but the other stuff between orange and black is mostly missing
@mcfly
@MennoWolff
at this point im kinda interested in just having the data pure without the quantisation of the graphic, that would make it so much easier
@mcfly
@therealkuu @mcfly
Yeah, would be interesting.
Of course, we don't know the meaning of the colours. It's entirely possible the black dots are <10 or so.
I'd be surprised if banks filter much more than 1234 and 000x/x000
@therealkuu @mcfly
But there is a bright spot on 8008!
@mcfly
I'd love to see how it looks vs breach year
@mcfly going to start telling people 4797 is a relatively unused pin to see if I can influence the chart.

We can only assume that the cohort at 7411 is made up of soldering iron geeks who connect their own AND gates.

BlackBerry nostalgists at 8520?

@nick_appleyard Probably just lazy folks, 8520 is very easy to type on a numpad.

@mcfly Thank you for sharing. This is such a fascinating graph !

Would you happen to know where the data comes from ? I'm super curious what other type of data they might have.

@tchauhan welcome. I liked it a lot so I thought others might like it. I have no further information but the picture contains something what looks like an url.

I have not checked it though so I am guilty of sharing data without knowing if it was made up.

Hope the data quality is as good as the image looks

@mcfly Very glad my PIN was revealed to me in a dream instead of by my birthday.
@mcfly "birth years" continue to at least 2003...
@mcfly Seems unlikely there are black spots. Any explanation for those?
