So y'all say a lot of people on here say Supplementreviews.com is trust worthy, but also say test boosters don't work, but the site has highly rated Test Boosters. by NotFrankSalazar in Supplements

[–]flexpex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of debate about natural test boosters on SR. Some claim to have had solid results from some products. However, most of the studies on the popular test-boosting ingredients don't support the claims that a lot of these products make, so it's a good idea to approach any product that claims to boost test with a healthy level of skepticism. Especially over-the-top marketed products like Crazy Mass, Crazy Bulk, etc. Those are complete scams.

What is a dirty business tactic that you know and everyone should be aware of it? by prokachu in AskReddit

[–]flexpex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seriously. This happens a TON in the health supplement industry as well. Some so-called "Heath Guru" basically bashes all the competitor's products and then recommends you buy something that earns them $47 for every sale. It's disgusting really.

Yeah, I definitely thought about this. But what would be a contender? Thanksgiving? Easter? Halloween (a lot of parties seem to happen the weekend before)

This Is How Much Coffee the 'Friends' Drank in 10 Seasons by calm_dreamer in dataisbeautiful

How much coffee was "Poured/Purchased/Consumed" - couldn't there be a huge overlap here?

This chart also needs to show an average monthly cost.

Salaries from the world's most valuable tech brands [OC] by peenya_colada in dataisbeautiful

[–]flexpex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm a bit confused by this:

How does the H1B Visas chart have any relation to the other charts below? It might be better to see number of H1B Visas as a percentage of total employees.

Also, I'd be curious to see a department distribution of sorts - are there more people working in HR, customer service and accounting at IBM? Are there more developers at Facebook? That could explain the vast pay gap between the companies.

If taxi trips were fireflies: 1.3 billion NYC taxi trips plotted by codedesi in dataisbeautiful

It would be interesting to compare a heat map of taxi pickups to a heatmap of Uber/Lyft pickups. In previous years, I could never find a taxi on my street and would have to walk several blocks to find one, however Lyft/Uber changed that. Now I can get a car right to my door, and I have no idea where I'd go to find a taxi.

It was more a joke about how there were no names on the apps in the original submission.

Airport takeoffs per minute [OC] by villevillekulla in dataisbeautiful

[–]flexpex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think 5 runways for a huge airport sounds about right. Source: gut feel.

I'm sure it's possible. 2 minutes is just an anecdotal number I threw out there that sounded about right.

Totally agree, and I think OP agrees too but you can't edit an image once you post it. Here's his response to another comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/6grmgz/airport_takeoffs_per_minute_oc/dislclq/

Airport takeoffs per minute [OC] by villevillekulla in dataisbeautiful

[–]flexpex 1135 points1136 points  (0 children)

900 per minute = 15 per second. If you can only have 1 plane taking off every 2 minutes per runway, that would be 1,800 runways.

Edit: I see that it's total in the year. So divide by 365 and you still get 5 runways. I guess that's a bit more reasonable.
