The Best And Worst Data Stories Of 2016 by Walt Hickey.
From the post:
It’s time once again to dole out FiveThirtyEight’s Data Awards, our annual (OK, we’ve done it once before) chance to honor those who did remarkably good stuff with data, to shame those who did remarkably bad stuff with data, and to acknowledge the key numbers that help describe what went down over the past year. As always, these are based on the considered analysis of an esteemed panel of judges, by which I mean that I pestered people around the FiveThirtyEight offices until they gave me some suggestions.
I had to list this under both data science and humor. 😉
What “…bad stuff with data…” stories do you know and how will you avoid being listed in 2017? (Assuming there is another listing.)
I suspect we learn more from data fail stories than ones that report success.
You?
Enjoy!
