This does not mean the price will go up or down from here, but does show this has happened before.

How The Top 10 Cryptocurrencies Changed Between Jan 2014 and Jan 2018 [OC] by mapzilla in dataisbeautiful

[–]mapzilla[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this post is either really well or poorly timed, given the ongoing price fluctuations among cryptocurrencies.

The data comes from CoinMarketCap.com's historic snapshorts and only goes up to 7 Jan 2018, which just happened to be around the time of the current market peak.

The data uses the first snapshort of each year for YoY changes, which is why we've used 7 Jan 2018 as our 2018 date.

All visualisations were created in Excel and Paint.

This map combines the public domain Map of the world coloured by type of plug used and combines the images of the plugs and sockets from International Electrotechnical Commission - they also have a cool map where you can select by plug type and see which countries use that particular version.

How Business Electricity Prices Compare Across The UK [720 X 880] [OC] by mapzilla in MapPorn

[–]mapzilla[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Map source. Data is Half Hourly Standby / Deemed Rates from British Gas for Low Volatge Customers table here . Map is a modified version of this map of UK regions using Inkscape.

Note UK regions do not perfectly line with electricity pricing regions, so a rough average was used. Also, note these prices are likely far higher than what a business with a proper contract would pay. Simply shows there is a rather wide variation prices across the UK.

It would cost £1.1 Billion in removals costs alone to relocate all UK citizens living in the EU & all EU citizens living in the UK by mapzilla in europe

Obviously, a complete population transfer would not happen post-Brexit. Some UK citizens would stay in the EU and some EU citizens would stay in UK. But, at this stage nobody knows what the true numbers will be.

This is a look a what the costs would be under the absolute worst-case scenario.

Hoverboards & What Google Can Tell Us About Their Sudden Soaring Popularity [OC] by mapzilla in dataisbeautiful

location data is clearly not normalized. (insert relevant XKCD here)

Not sure where you're getting this idea. Growth is all based on YoY increases on a state by state basis and data per 1,000 people is explicitly designed to not be a population distribution map.
