Heard about the (probably) XKCD comic? Turns out, it wasn't XKCD (but there is always a high chance it is). BUT, being a data scientist, Andreas found it anyways. Here you go https://speakerdeck.com/jakevdp/pythons-visualization-landscape-pycon-2017?slide=36.

Then we spoke about the pitfalls hidden in data, for example with names. Here is a good article looking at it: https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/.

Little errata:

  • The first iPhone was released in 2007 and not in 2009. We got this wrong somehow, sorry.
