the yglesias centroid-chapo leftoid alliance is so very cursed
"why were the consultants and pod bros so ride or die for Platner even when it was clear he has enormous baggage?"
firstly, he was their bartender *wink wink*
Second, Platner was never really a candidate. He was a mascot for a particular brand package that was supposed to be sold nationwide

Creating a #centroid is not as trivial as you might think!
If you are dealing with regional population data, the locational difference between a regular geometric centroid and a population-weighted centroid can be vast!

abundance as a term has the "you sound indistinguishable from a Scientologist" problem to me
all the centroid consultants whining about wokespeak (sometimes correctly) can't help but invent new signal-y ingroup terms even worse than "justice-involved persons" ever was

Abundance is mostly an unneeded term that groups together a bunch of stuff. I like YIMBYism a lot better

occupying the centroid of n dimensional political compass challenge: nearly impossible, but... there's a chance...
The political alignment quizzes trying to place you in 2d are a mistake. If there are n questions they should be placing you in n-d.
The correct set of 33 scissor statements would perfectly sort all of humanity your job is to post until you’ve found them

i've been calling the NYT centroid/Jacobin leftoid convergence the Beard Oil Alliance
subscribe to Jacobin, where you can hear demands for nice, polite ethnic cleansing!
Vivek Chibber wants to take *this* moment—a moment when people are seeing the horrors of mass deportation and Abolishing ICE is more popular than ever—to douse the flames of pro-immigrant sentiment. No, no, says Chibber, the Volk still want deportation.

Dumb question: I have a group of lat long coordinates, each associated with an individual. What I want to do is compute some kind of centroid for each person, then see the distance between that centroid and one of their coordinates. What’s the most efficient/fastest way to do this (*lot* of ‘em)?

Yes: please explain to your friends that "interpolatable" and "centroid" ≠ "average in quality"
Maybe remind them that Central Park is, in fact, one of the nicest parts of NYC?

people are confusing average art (the quality level is median) and average art (novelty found in the middle space between other existing art)
because we can describe basically all human art this way too
name a book, movie or band and we can point at their influences; their venn diagram of priors

If you are teaching about medians and centroid, and you aren't having Ss find the centroid of a foamboard triangle and show that it's the balancing point, you haven't lived! #iteachmath #mathtoday

I want to use the term “centroid” to talk disrespectfully about “enlightened centrists” but I have too much engineering education and I just immediately think of the geometric center of an arbitrary shape.

I made a tech demo in late 2022 to test the Power Pad, a dance mat for NES. It shows pressed buttons, their centroid (average position), a trail behind the centroid, and a ticker of presses and releases. It turned out I couldn't guess jump direction from release timing.

While it will be the Dickquinox, it won't be a centroid of dickquilibrium, because the cultural weight of his time as Robin is so much greater than the cultural weight of his time as Nightwing.
