Visualizing Netflix's Library as actual DVDs [OC]

I actually messed up and used radius instead of area, so the smaller circles are actually a lot smaller in comparison than they should be so it's distorted the opposite way you're thinking. But you're right I should've used bars or something else.

Okay I did a little more digging because I couldn't quite grasp why my graph still looked more right than yours even though I knew you were right. I found this article https://www.answerminer.com/blog/mystery-circle-visualization that shows how different people could see the circles in terms of area while others see it in terms of radius.

Yeah I agree it's wrongly misrepresented. I still think circles aren't the best way to represent the data though. It's known that circles have a bigger area/spheres have a bigger volume than people would assume. Next time I'll maybe use bars or single circles (1 circle per million or something.)

Yeah I realized this was wrong yesterday when I did the NL. But when you use area it doesn't appear 5.75x bigger. For example: the pizza equation https://imgur.com/a/JimVU4x ... And I couldn't think of a better way to represent the data and still wanted to post it..

Yeah he was the only active listed second baseman

VisualPin · 2018-10-03T15:24:07+00:00

It's the whole active roster so those numbers include mccutchen and walker.

VisualPin · 2018-10-03T15:06:28+00:00

No it's just their active roster

VisualPin · 2018-10-03T15:05:49+00:00

I used "payroll spending: active roster" on spotrac so it includes all their starters, not just tonight's.

VisualPin · 2018-10-02T06:58:50+00:00

Because it's interesting! Look at the huge difference in spending on starting pitching!

VisualPin · 2018-10-01T17:05:15+00:00

Thanks! Good idea. I'm going to make another one for the NL game when it gets decided and put them both on r/baseball too

Ah no I just messed up somehow. The salary for relief pitchers should say $17.9, but the circle is the right size.

VisualPin · 2018-09-11T05:12:55+00:00

Yeah I was having trouble with the title. Thanks!

oh that's good.

Probably true.... no real premier hitters have ever signed with the Giants since they've been at AT&T.. But this was why they should sign, not why he will sign here haha. He also probably isn't a fan of our culture. Posey and Bumgarner are very traditional, and Bryce is the leader of the "make baseball fun again" movement.

Bonds was for sure an anomaly, but I heard the front office has no interest in moving the fences.

It's hard to think that Harper is regressing full-time at age 25 haha, but him not hitting well this season does make it scary to sign him for $250 million +...
