Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link this blog's online Gini coefficient calculator, which one commenter says helped them build an intuitive understanding of the Gini coefficient and Lorenz curve. The comment praises the tool, not the writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?
Here's an online calculator[1] for Gini coefficient that I found some time ago. Tinkering around with some numbers there was what finally gave me an proper intuitive understanding of the Gini coefficient and the Lorentz curve. [1]: http://shlegeris.com/gini
