I haven't heard your personal informal definition of POD before. I've only concerned myself with the standard's definition of POD. If you were using a different definition of POD than the standard, you should have specified that. Or better yet, not used the term "POD", since it is widely understood to mean what the standard refers to as "POD".

EDIT: It seems I've had a slightly incorrect impression of "POD": what makes 'Person' non-POD isn't that it has an implicitly defined constructor but simply that it contains a non-POD type. The requirements for POD classes[1] includes "has no non-static data members of type non-POD class (or array of such types)". std::string is certainly a non-POD class, which makes discussion about Person's constructors and destructors moot. Not that it changes anything, but I don't wanna spread misinformation.

Source and examples?

Note the focus on "independently" invented, and that I said "inspired or derived from nearby systems". There are many examples of writing systems that were made "from scratch" but only after contact with other civilizations that were already writing - e.g. the Korean Hangeul was designed from scratch, but only after millenia of Chinese literacy in Korea; and the Cherokee syllabary was designed from scratch, but only after centuries of contact with Western colonizers including access to their existing writing tools. If this is the kind of process you meant you meant with "multiple ancestral alphabets", I completely agree. But those were not "independent" inventions of "writing" as a concept. The idea of denoting ideas/sounds on paper is much harder to invent than the specific symbols mapped to each idea/sound.

My understanding is that the consensus in the literature is that all writing systems in the Middle East were either derived from an existing writing system, or created from scratch after prolonged contact with neighboring civilizations that could already write, where these historical lines can be drawn all the way back to Hieroglyphs and Cuneiform. I believe there is little evidence to suggest multiple inventions of writing as a concept by isolated groups in the region.

As for major writing systems that are still in use today across Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and much of Asia, there's even less variety: I believe most of them are ultimately descended from Phoenician.
Seems safe enough to try, except from the financial perspective of replacing any lost material.

If one proton at rest is 939.9Mev, that's 1.506*10^-10 joules. Carrying 1*10^3 antiprotons, even if they all escaped and reacted it would just be a ~1.5*10^-7 joule event. (Unless it's doubled because of the mass of the antiprotons? I forget.)

>> can you clarify where "real america" is? are places like Spartanburg, SC or Tuscaloosa, AL "real america" because you can commonly find BMWs and Mercedes in these areas.

Sure, and for all of us driving around and near Atherton or any other wealth enclave even in a normal city, all these cars will seem common. And especially common to engineers with multi-million dollar RSU portfolios who hang around the homes of other engineers with multi-million dollar RSU portfolios. It might even make us think everything is OK.

Half the country earns below the median wage. (yes, its a joke but true)

Tons of people live on fixed incomes like social security. One big medical co-pay destroys your entire budget for the year. My mom got a $2000 balance bill under her medicare provider for cataract removal. If I wasnt her backstop, this would have wiped out a year of savings.

Not everyone is a SWE, in fact most people have normal jobs with normal incomes. Yes, incomes are going up, but only median incomes. Not everyone's income is going up.

Seeing BMWs should not be a handwave that everyone is doing well. We really should have empathy for the troubles a fraction of our neighbors are going thru. In a country with a large enough population, fractions are a huge number of people.

The ~$40 million dollars of savings that SpaceX saves per launch is only truly significant because SpaceX was so successful at trimming costs elsewhere.

That SpaceX was able to launch 60 satellites per launch vs competitor's 6 and was able to build them for $1/4 million per satellite vs a competitors $10M made a lot more difference in terms of constellation viability than the launch cost.

> much of the US GDP is tied to their suburb-living car-dependent lifestyle. [...] , but it doesn't create value.

The "value" is for the citizens that prefer suburbs style living.

People who prefer dense city living with mass-transportation and walkable errands like European cities or downtown NYC/Chicago are missing the fact that there's another group of people (possibly the majority) that actually prefer the suburbs. Yes, I know it seems illogical.

But don't suburbs have the dependency on cars, and those ugly "stroads", and the "parking lot deserts", and "soulless cookie-cutter housing", etc, etc?!? Yes, all of that is true and detractors can keep piling on more derogatory labels but it still doesn't change the fact that many people really like the suburbs. A lot of USA college kids living in dorms in the middle of a "walkable city" have aspirations of buying a nice house out in the suburbs and hope they can land a high-paying job so they can afford that dream. Why do so many of these young people who have actual experience of living in the city want to get away from that and live in the suburbs?
The Reign of Terror was executing practically any politically active person they could get their hands on (and their families), not just aristocrats. It didn't end until Robespierre was foolish enough to order the execution of one of France's most popular revolutionary politicians (Danton).

When actual peasants revolted, as in the Vendee, the result was what some call a genocide. Against the peasants. By the French Republic.

France continued to see revolutions, "reactions", and Napoleon because the Revolution did not make things better. It was quite some time before that happened for most people.

I also don't share your pessimism about Starlink. Right now it's unclear what the killer application for Starlink will be, but it's awesome technology and even if it's only used in very remote areas it will still be worth it. When you only invest in technology that is immediately valuable you lose out on the technological revolutions that take a while to play out. Imagine having the capability of building something like Starlink but not doing it because the bean counters don't see the point.
The US produces a lot of things others want to buy, including stability and security, and that is why non Americans want USD and hence others give Americans purchasing power.

Looking forward to the postmortem for this one.

Worth noting though that SREs at Google are rarely woken up. One of the main differences between SREs who support a service and dev owners who may also be on call is that the SREs will be in some sort of follow the sun configuration of 12 hour shifts. My team in Sydney partners with San Francisco for example, so worst case for me is a page at midnight just before I hand over, worst case for them is about 5am. So not usually anything happening in the middle of the night, at worst a late night or early morning, but never both.
> Crown Trick and Crypt of the Necrodancer/Cadence of Hyrule straddle the gap, not quite traditional and not quite "lite."

I always felt like an important aspect of “lite” was whether death was real permadeath or whether good performance in one game could make the next one easier. In that aspect, COTN feels like it's a roguelite in the default (non-all-zones) mode; you get to collect a bunch of upgrades that you keep for the next run, and you can also take the zones one by one. But all zones is hardcore permadeath.

I think the concept you are describing is called accentual-syllabic verse. And it definitely exists in English too, it just became much less popular for some historical reason.

I am much more familiar with Russian poetry compared to the English (and I still like it more), but I wouldn’t call violating metrical foot format a mistake in general there. It’s an instrument like any other, which can be used well. Moreover, due to generally having longer words compared to English, you can often see unstressed syllables where a stressed one would be expected by the strict interpretation of the metrical foot, otherwise you couldn’t ever use words with four or more syllables in poetry. I am not an expert but I’ve heard arguments that you shouldn’t use the concept of metrical feet for Russian poetry in general because of that.

You don’t have to look at futurism and other avant-garde movements to see experimentation with the strictness of verses. There was plenty of interesting variations in the Silver age of Russian poetry, and even earlier — you can find quite a few examples of different metrical foot variations and violations in Pushkin’s poems, and even Lomonosov, while preferring highly regular structure, was not above varying it when appropriate.

I do agree with your overall point of AI mostly failing to produce interesting poetry, though admittedly I haven’t experimented much with that. But Russian poetry is much less regular than you describe it.
Thanks for sharing such insightful feedback, will keep in mind on my next visit there
Quit the grandstanding, this conversation is about the GDP and what does or doesn't count towards it. There's nothing wrong with somebody just be cause they kept track of that context instead of getting lost on a tangent.

There's extreme wealth inequalities between EU countries (we're talking about one order of magnitude in the extreme cases), language barriers are the main things holding back the demographic crisis that would come from mass economic immigration within the EU.

Perhaps you've mainly visited major urban centers of both and so don't see the rather unique cultures both hold.

I still fondly remember how inclusive the minimalism of games like NetHack actually were. NetHack was the first game I played after moving to Linux, roughly 1995. I say inclusive, because I played it with a Braille display. Many aspects of the simplicity of the 90s led to unintentional accessibility. I also used to read guitar tabs in plain ASCII when they were still exchanged on NNTP groups. These days, every guitar tab site I find is "polished" and therefore no longer accessible.

Why would you use Firefox—that would be supporting Mozilla, or Safari—as they correctly pointed out in the comments—the IE of 2020's? Have you actually seen Firefox source code? It's horrible; not one bit surprising that Chromium won! This is also why there's rich ecosystem of browsers around it. Brave comes to mind; built-in ad-blocker is not half bad, not to mention they're committed to v2 extension APIs, deserving praise. I've been really happy with it. Not sold on most products they're trying to sneak in there like Search, or the AI things, however as occasional crypto user, I'd found the built-in Wallet real handy. Vivaldi? I was told it's quite popular with streamers and so on. Edge from Microsoft, too.

What does Firefox have going for it? LibreWolf? Tor Browser?

Edit: mobile Firefox is still superior, I think, because extensions.

Averages are often misleading.

>These instruments were mostly of academic interest – I can’t think of any band that used one on stage (but I could be wrong).

Very wrong. The Prophet 5, Oberheim 4/8 voice, Roland Jupiter 8, MemoryMoog, and especially the Yamaha CS80 were all available before the DX7, and very widely used on stage and in the studio.

But they really were stupendously expensive - far too expensive for mere mortals.

(There were also fully polyphonic string synthesizers, which had a very, very simple synthesizer under each note, but they were based more on vintage organ technology.)

So by the time the DX7 appeared, Roland and Korg had already produced semi-analog) instruments with digitally controlled oscillators and analog everything else.

The DX7 stood out because the keyboard responded to velocity, and it had an incredible 16 notes of polyphony. So you could play your fancy jazz chords on the epiano sound with the sustain pedal down, and the notes would respond to your fingers and wouldn't cut off too obviously.

The maximum for a pure analog polysynth was 8 notes, and cheaper models had between four and six notes. No fancy jazz chords. Especially not with sustain.

And the DX7 sound cut through - it was much thinner and more acoustic-sounding. The big analog polysynths sounded much bigger - lush, but less versatile, because they were best suited to string and brass fill-in pads, occasional special FX, and perhaps the occasional lead.

Yamaha did try to take synthesis up another level with physical modelling, which is based on more precise models of strings, reeds, pipes, and other resonators, and they produced a couple of very interesting, very very expensive instruments, before abandoning the tech. Sampling is better for imitating real sounds, and the synthetic sounds you get from physical modelling mostly don't sound all that much more interesting than FM.

We're about due another revolution, because there's so much processor power now a lot of synthesis techniques that used to be impossible are now practical. But culturally there just isn't the interest in experimentation. Electronic sounds live in a few small niches - even with modular - and there's not much of a push to explore outside of them.
Hi there, and thank you! When comparing Eyed Out to other browsers on the market, the default settings offer similar functionality to browsers like DuckDuckGo and Firefox Focus. However, with features like agent spoofing and anti-fingerprinting, Eyed Out stands apart. On iOS, neither DuckDuckGo nor Focus offer "data generalization" to obscure the user’s fingerprint, which makes it more unique and easier to track. In contrast, Eyed Out uses spoofing as a "fingerprint generalizer," making the user’s fingerprint so generic that it becomes virtually undetectable. Additionally, Eyed Out includes several built-in tools, such as temporary email addresses, a password generator, a QR code generator, and a URL shortener.

Blame the likes of Murdoch and his predecessors, they've mastered the art of using rags and tabloids to eliminate nuance in the US public sphere.

Significant US analysis, that with any meat, looks to race, class , and income to quintile the US demographic and examine the prospects of each rank and the mobility across groups.

Recent years have seen books such as Paul Fussell, CLASS: A Guide Through the American Status System (1983), Isabel Wilkerson, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents (2020), and a host between.

The difficulty for the US has been the dumbing down of public discourse, that was the condition that permitted a Trump to sweep through on a popularists platform.

> Pricing things is super hard

Not applicable to copyright, but perhaps something analogous would arise if there were a market for it: Real estate agents have to estimate the value of a home to the market all the time, and have some simple heuristics with a fairly reliable error rate. Use those, plus an extra percentage for whatever the additional value is to you of sentimental attachment, of not dealing with the hassle of moving, etc.

You could also buy "harberger insurance" which would cover the additional cost of rebuying your asset, in exchange for premiums that depended on how much the insurer thought you were underpricing your asset.
Have used most browsers since 1993. As an end user Safari is not comparable to how IE was.

Safari has been my daily driver for a decade. Clean, integrated well into MacOS. Just works. I only have to crack out Chrome for the odd awkward website that’s usually terrible in all sorts if other ways, apart from poor testing. Like a bad bank.
Thanks for chiming in.
