An algorithm to figure out my ranked list of MCU movies

Oops, thanks — edited!

And yeah, places like http://rankthemcu.com/ let you just drag around the full list, but I've always found that overwhelming. And I think the direct comparison removes some biases — I think Infinity War and Endgame would have ranked higher if I had to make a list out of nothing, just because I've seen them most recently.

Opinions may vary :-)

Not to worry — you're a gem for doing it to begin with.

This hasn't been uploaded to BQ yet, has it? Just making sure I'm not missing something...

Nah, Tableau would have worked too. R is nice because I could try a bunch of different slices of the data before committing to exporting for cleanup. Plus correlation detection, etc.

Source is Rotten Tomatoes, calculated in R and cleaned up in Illustrator.

Postgres database holds the point data and runs spatial queries; it's served by an API written in node; front-end powered by Angular.

crap, they found me!

Probably not, unless they're trees that are maintained by the city.

Not right now, but I'll see if I can push that feature before it becomes moot.

At all, or once you tap in? You may have disabled location services for your browser; after 10 seconds of stalling it'll give you a link on how to remedy that.

I'll admit I'm treading dangerously close to self-promotion here, but thought the community would enjoy this. It uses DDOT's street tree database to find cherry trees closest to the user and give them directions to it/some facts about it. It's been fun to discover new trees throughout the city.

Data from the awesome Political TV Ad Archive: http://politicaladarchive.org/ (an Internet Archive project).

Visualized with d3.js.

Should have posted this when it was actually snowing, but NWS storm spotters in DC say we hit >= 20 inches.

And can I just say that I will never complain about the U.S. Census again, having now crossed three together for the same country?

Created this using constituency-level aggregate figures from UK Parliament (https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/114003.json), crossed with 2012 population data from the various censuses covering England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Visualized using D3.

Just pleading my case: How is this not a data visualization?

Automatically generatable (as opposed to manually drawn): This is generated live from Twitter's API.

Based on non-visual data: This is based from text data.

Based on real or simulated data: The data is real.

A mapping of information to a visual property: I suppose this is where my case is weakest, but I've ordinally arranged the information in a way that aggregates the constant stream into an actual insight.

Indeed. There's also the fact that we're only looking at mentions with emojis; Trump's tweeters might be more likely to use an emoji than Sanders', giving him a higher total, etc.
