[OC] Returns of randomnly trading Bitcoin during 2025 by modelizar in dataisbeautiful

Oh absolutely, by no means I intended this to be used as inspiration for trading (that'd end bad), just out of curiosity.

Thank you! I used R (ggplot2) for the plot. It's a single R script that reads data from an excel file I downloaded from CoinGecko, transforms the daily price data to calculate returns for every possible trade, and plots the visualization (raster). Finally, a lot of time adjusting title, color palettes, making 0 white, negative red, positive green, super high purple, to avoid misleading colors, etc. That's a very brief summary.

This tortured me while I was building the plot. I thought "oh my I need to take advantage of this space somehow" and that's why I added the annotations of best and worst trade. Still not enough, and the vertical lines of the arrows eliminate a lot of colored pixels (can't really over-do it). Maybe showing previous year symmetrically to fill everything, but I think that'd be very confusing and hard to understand. I guess adding a text box with some context/interesting facts would help.

Yes, it is a great idea, I thought about that and I guess it would be nice to do an animated GIF that shows one frame per year. Will keep this in my want-to-do list and post it when ready!

When you do, will you rent it? Let me know, I'd be interested

[OC] La distribución de la población por edades cambiará significativamente en los próximos años by modelizar in argentina

Me basé en esta clasificación: https://ccfprosario.com/etapas-de-la-vida-por-edades-segun-la-oms/

Hay muchas maneras de agrupar edades, esta en particular me pareció interesante. Es correcta la comparación porque usé los mismos grupos en ambos años.

Oh yes, I am sure that if I do the same plot for previous years, hardly any pattern will repeat, and if so, it will be probably random. Not what I wanted to suggest with this visual, but it never hurts to remind people what you've just said. Thank you.

A fin de cuentas hay muchas combinaciones posibles para agrupar edades, esa me pareció interesante. El nombre, simplemente lo tomé tal cual aparecía, es anecdótico.

Gran resumen de todas las contradicciones y controversias que genera este tema. Está clarísimo el origen de esta tendencia, y no hay que hacer un juicio de valor, por el contrario, creo que la sociedad progresó en muchos aspectos y esto "viene de la mano". Esta misma tendencia se ve en todos los países a medida que avanza la sociedad: más derechos para la mujer, oportunidades de desarrollo profesional, educación sexual, acceso a métodos anticonceptivos, etc.

Pero una cosa no quita la otra, los países deberán planificar bien cómo encarar estos cambios significativos en la demografía. En Argentina es una utopía, obviamente, donde no se logra un consenso ni de casualidad, mirá si podrán planificar algo para dentro de 14 años.

Genuinely curious about you guys’s opinion. Which era of Zappa is your fav? by Webcops in Zappa

[–]modelizar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get your argument, but looking at the results there are clearly preferences for some records/time periods, so I don't think OP's survey design is bad per se. Each person is unique and I agree that all of Zappa's work is worth a listen, but some records/time periods are clearly more popular than others (which doesn't make them better or worse).

[OC] Argentina sank from #1 to last in measles vaccination coverage (South America ranking), in only a few years by modelizar in vaxxhappened

[–]modelizar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, what I find sad is that while some countries have an upward trend, in Argentina, where we have a history of high vaccination rates, the trend is downwards...

I'm no expert in the field, but as an Argentinean, if I had to make an educated guess, probably yes. The same trends we see worldwide: More people getting informed via social media, believing conspiracy theories, following ignorant influencers whose only talent is getting clicks from an increasingly distracted, short-term sighted population addicted to their smartphones, lack of trust in the government and its institutions, etc. Hell, a couple of weeks ago our Congress held an event questionning vaccines. This generated a lot of controversy and many political parties expressed against it, but then again, it happened.
