@skram @chris_whong I look forward to having “poker chips” or “crime wafers” as a checkbox in @cartoDB and @socrata soon.

@AndrewNebus @dancow likened them to Mentos. @skram @cartoDB @socrata

@chris_whong Are rapes aggregated by borough? I found the stacks of red at disconcerting at first @AndrewNebus @dancow @skram

@chrismetcalf They are stacked on police precinct buildings. (see notes) @AndrewNebus @dancow @skram

@chris_whong @chrismetcalf @dancow @skram Definitely distorts visualizations in many #opendata releases. Good to note!

@AndrewNebus @chris_whong @chrismetcalf @skram in the actual *geographical* precinct in which the attack took place?

@dancow @chris_whong @chrismetcalf @skram Oh! That's (typically) where occurred not where reported if it's incident (RMS) based.
