What keyboard are you using and what is your WPM?
  • I don't type with autocorrect. Last time I checked it was around the same speed as me using swipe, ~76 wpm.

    I've recently started growing my nails so that has made it slightly harder. Not sure how people type with nails.

    The Math would add up
  • i've never thought about that before.

    isnt that untrue though given that objects freeze instantly in space? Also that would mean you would only need to heat the ISS (rip) once, during its conception.

    It seems like all packaged foods do this now
  • confused by this.

    to calculate a standard deviation OP would have to buy a few packets anyways.

    if you maybe wanna buy 100 to find what the standard deviation is, by definition, only 68% of them will be within a standard deviation (assuming the weights are normally distributed)

    Whatever happened to DNA-based storage research?
  • The truth of academia is that it is extremely slow. there are less than 20 minds total on all of earth working on this idea, separately, in different countries. And these 20 people are in their 20's, severely underpaid, don't necessarily have all the resources they want, and science may not be their #1 life priority.

    anyways:

    reading and writing DNA is the main driver of evolution, and it does so because it is error prone (causing mutations). You can imagine this is bad if you want to preserve the integrity of the data.

    DNA storage would be okay if you were to... say archive the entire internet for future generations, or geneology records, etc. things that do not need to be written and accessed quickly or often.

  • i think he died before the end of the day?

    iirc they break your shins so that you die faster if its taking too long, and there was a prophecy that none of jesus' bones would be broken.

    ‘Forever chemicals’ found in drinking water sources across England
  • blood you donate doesnt always go into someone else. I don't know the stats for what fraction gets transplanted, but researchers also use blood for different reasons.
