#math problem: curved streak of noisy 3D point #data. These plus the origin are nominally in a plane. Find the normal
I had a solution that I didn't like and I found a case where it didn't work
Yesterday I realized that PCA does exactly what I want. The primary components are the two axes in the plane, the third is the normal. Two #python #numpy calls
What's weird is I can't find examples of people using PCA in directly physical spaces, only in parameter spaces ("gene A vs gene B").

As Jemar Tisby reminds us, Black Americans have never had the luxury of purism as they make their political choices — a luxury that only privileged people, the kind who can toy with voting for Jill Stein or not voting at all – in either case, effectively voting for Trump – can afford.

“Trump’s critics claim that he has dementia and other afflictions. I am not a doctor, and I cannot reach that conclusion. But I know this much: If Donald Trump were your father, your husband, your brother, your uncle, or merely your friend, you would insist that he see a doctor, and you would likely shield him from large gatherings where he could become an object of ridicule.”

"The dirty old man, Donald Trump, is leaking oil all over the campaign trail as he stumbles into garbage trucks and plays his tired, perverted lounge act to the same old broken white people who were already voting for him no matter what.
He’s subtracting, not adding. He’s diminishing, not rising."

"Kamala Harris’s miraculous 100-day sprint to the finish line is now in its final kick, and the only one gasping for air is her pathetic opponent.
She is positively burying him. …
Look, Jimmy Carter didn’t hold on this long, just to lose …"
