Mmm both of those are from 1400s and OP do limit it to 1300. And that 1300 limit is for good reason. Renaissance is usually dated after 1453 and that's when European art quality exploded. So yeah, those examples instead prove OP's statement.

This is the same reason why I'm disappointed that Pinyin won over Wade-Giles. If Hepburn can be acknowledged to be better than Kurei-Shiki, then Wade-Giles is also better than Pinyin. At the very least we'll no longer have to deal with words containing q that's pronounced nowhere near q. Although admittedly it does produce some exotic looking words and boon for Scrabble players.

I thought he's talking about what in Arabic is called harakat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_diacritics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_diacritics

There's also AIDS that I heard have been practically cured. Since then I have became less pessimistic about drug progress

As they said, English is a pictographic language with 26 radicals https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/pronounce

Yeah a simple of total points of pro comments vs total points of con comments may be simple and exact enough to simulate a prediction market. I don't know if it can be included in the prompt or better to be vibecoded in directly.

Yeah it's an interesting discussion whether schizophrenia causes smoking, or smoking ease schizophrenia, or smoking worsen schizophrenia, or they just often go together for whatever reason (maybe genetics) https://slatestarcodex.com/2016/01/11/schizophrenia-no-smoki....

But it also contain the most people. Industrial age contains even more people but it hasn't defeated agricultural age yet because it's still so recent.

Considering that post-arithmetic math rarely use numbers at all, and even ancient Greeks use lots of lines and angles instead of numbers, I don't think Roman numerals would really hold math that much.

Any X-ist name now grate my ears, especially when it's new. Always seems like an ugly patchwork before a "proper" name is coined.

For electric vehicles, in third world countries the most obvious bottlenecks are pricing and infrastructure. However despite that, I'm quite surprised by how fast adoption actually is even when it's not as fast as first world countries.

For bikes, we already have TON of powered bikes. I can actually see electric bikes opening the eye of Americans on the wonder of scooters.

Since this is scooters who rarely even reach >150cc, it's actually quite safe since it's slow and light. There are always high risk when we want to go to very rough roads that are also full of trucks (common in rural areas), but in well maintained roads like lots of Jakarta, it's mostly fine.

Though it really isn't helped by attitude of people around here who aren't even wearing helms.

I got curious to see how many people have cars in Jakarta. While cars per capita of Indonesia is extremely low (~80 / 1000 people), the one for Jakarta is at respectable ~300/1000 people, not far from NYC at ~400/1000 people. Still far away from other cities though.

From my experience also, scooter is still heavily used even by people that have cars because there's just a lot of small roads and neighborhood where it's very unsuitable for cars. This also makes scooter taxi very popular here since it's cheaper, faster, and can reach the deepest parts of Jakarta.

I think tying it to pension age would make a very interesting dynamic. I can see a lot of incentives and alignments around the issue would instantly shift around, and I think for the healthier and will incentivize finding the true ideal pension age.

At least in the two holy cities itself, Indonesia has quite significant pull. Because our pilgrims heavily outnumber lots of other nations. To the point where sellers around the city usually knows a least a word or two of Indonesian.

Everytime I see the ocean of scooters, I wonder how horrible it'd be if scooters weren't invented but instead everyone use cars like in America. Either it'll make the most legendary traffic jam ever or GDP will be cut in half since no one can move anywhere. With our already overcrowded public transport, it's practically the only alternative.

I actually wonder how much better American traffic would be if scooters are more popular.

Hmm it's a bit surprising. Usually when I checked, it'll never be under 100. Maybe the current rainy season helps?

Vertical videos with much shitter UI. Inability to skip ahead or turn back may be understandable for <30 second videos, but not more.

Feels like culture in general has become fragmented, or in other words, more personalized. It was said that Top 10 Hit Songs or Movies would be recognized by everyone because it'd be the only thing playing in radio. Now that everyone can have their own preferences, no more shared experiences.

I mean this ran straight into Halting problem, and proven impossible to solve.

I've seen other comment for the supposed unsavory thing but I've never heard about it, like, at all. Only know it as the mathematical operator. Also being used as card name for a children card game that's a bit infamously censor heavy so I think it's safe enough https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Mathmech_Nabla

I've heard that a lot of trees are grown from forgotten squirrel seed stashes. So at the very least they do store more than they eat.

It's hard because while for a 1 in 10,000,000 achievement, even if they're lucky to get 1 in 1,000 just by being born at the right place/time, they still need to fought hard for the rest of 1 in 10,000.

I've seen people attributing Taylor Swift' success entirely to luck. But eventhough of course she has inherent advantage, she still has to defeat tons of people who also has the same or even more inherent advantage as her. The numbers are arbitrary and a spectrum, and I've seen too many people treating it as black and white.

Hint as simple as that feels like spoiler sometimes.

Reminds me of barriers in speedrunning. Technically all the times are arbitrary, but there's still prestige to be the first person to get under <nice number>. I don't think it really influences the speed of record breaking around it, except that time when there's literally a bounty raised.

And this is why I can't take anyone's fascism definition seriously. Those definitions are contradictory, and include and exclude governments that don't deserve it. Especially when they try to imply that X = fascist = bad guy. If I heard about Umberto Eco one more time!!

Children is always an Achilles's heel of libertarians. It either opens up an inner authoritarianism or force someone to answer some uncomfortable questions.

Sometimes it's what we want! Especially if that determination results in them training inventive mind to hack. Most of us 20 years ago learnt to navigate our way in the network because of lots of restrictions and obfuscations built-in.

Although it'd still be lame if it's so easy to break that someone can share the key, and then the kids don't need to learn anything.

If it's re enabled (without change?), wouldn't an unusually high delay break it again?
