Northernlion has the perfect balance of “talking about the game” and “grocery store anecdotes” for my brain to just drift to sleep. Paired with his knack for obscure pop culture references and his delightful speaking tone, and you’ve got instant knockout drops.
The man has an astonishing backlog of Binding of Isaac videos that are just chefs kiss for falling asleep to. To such a degree that he actually talks about how part of his audience are listening to him to fall asleep, lol.
The mean would also not correspond to that definition, as the mean is just the way we would usually think of an average (add the data points together and divide by the number of data points).
The removal of the top and bottom 1% of the data isn’t relevant to whether its a mean, median, or mode - its just a good way of getting a more representative measure of the population by excluding outliers. Often one might take what’s called an “inter-quartile mean”, the average excluding the top and bottom 25% of the data. In significantly large datasets (ie, the size of whole populations), it may be enough to simply exclude the top and bottom 1%!
Either way, your sentiment is in the right place, I just like maths and it’s worthwhile making sure everyone is using the same words for the same things 😄
I wanna say, I agree with you, but that’s not at all the definition of median. A median is the middle most data point assuming you sort the data points in order. It might be that for this analysis they’ve chosen to omit the top and bottom 1% and then take the median of the remaining data, but that’s certainly not the definition of a median.
I genuinely don’t know if my younger self would have the presence of mind to take me seriously, but I would try to reach them and encourage them to be more empathetic toward things/people that they didn’t understand. I was a bit of an asshole as a teenager, heck maybe even in my early 20s, and I wish I could go back with the care I have now.
Right so, I have literally never eaten meat in my life. I was raised vegetarian. I still think plant based burger patties or sausages or whatever are delicious. Its literally just food. You gonna think that I’m “relying” on meat substitutes or “haven’t let go of meat entirely” when I haven’t even eaten meat before? :P
Just let people enjoy things! Plant based “meat” doesn’t hurt anyone and its a great option to add to your choices of meals.
“affirmative action that China takes on its minority groups” good god, have the balls to call it what it is dude. China is doing a genocide. If that doesn’t bother you, that’s your deal, but at least own up to what you are defending
International sentiment generally negative about country actively committing genocide.
More at 11.
Jokes aside - yeah? Of course there’s propaganda about China. I would wager its hard to find a big international power that doesn’t have some level of propaganda being spread about it by the other big international powers. But between the propaganda you still find a bunch of real reasons to have negative views toward China’s leadership and actions.
Uyghur genocide (ongoing)
authoritarian rule with huge censorship of outside media I really don’t need to go on
