Reply to after ASOIAF and kingkiller I dont dare to start reading unfinished series, I wonder statistically how much people are same and if it sffects other authors? by [deleted]
For me it depends on the author. I'm a lot more willing to start a series being written by someone prolific than someone with puts out one bike a decade.

Reply to comment by hootenanny03 in [OC] The Average Cost of Attending College in Each US State by malxredleader
This is insane. I want to regionally well regarded private school for less than that and I'm 38. It was probably a mistake, but luckily worked out for me. The idea that this is now the average for my state is unthinkable. A couple decades ago we had one of the strongest state college programs in the country and now you're telling me a four year degree averages 120k? It's completely unsustainable.

Arguably the human mind is nothing more than complex algorithms trained on large datasets, so your mind losing is perhaps warranted regardless.

Reply to comment by FellowConspirator in If the Human Genome Project represents a map of the genome of a few individuals, why is this relevant to humans as a whole if everybody has different genetics? by bjardd
In addition to this, the human genome serves as a reference genome. You don't need to say "this patient has this string of 500 base pairs representing their variant" you can just say "at position 125 they have a GTA instead of ATA and at 244 they have 6 duplicated pairs"

"No taxation without representation" was a rallying cry of the revolution, not government policy or federal law. There are lots of people in the US with no representation at the federal level who still pay federal taxes, the most obvious of which is the entire population of Washington DC.

Reply to comment by SnooSprouts1590 in NASA’s DART data validates kinetic impact as planetary defense method | DART altered the orbit of the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos by 33 minutes by mepper
Yes, that's why this mission was important. Let's say we see an asteroid this size a few orbits before it's going to collide with Earth. We could launch a mission similar to this DART impactor and change the asteroid's orbit by 30 minutes per orbit.
That may not seem like much, but if it's still 2 orbits before impact that's an hour difference. The asteroid now misses Earth by about 60,000 km.
