diana_coman: actually since you are in Ro, you can look at bookshops for cds/dvds on
the
topic ; iirc
there were quite a few at some point
mircea_popescu: in languages as well as fucking,
there's no disadvantage in starting directly with
the master class.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: blowing
this distinction is a major general failure in romanian.
mircea_popescu: will skip from
the first syllable of first involved word as far as possibly
the first sentence stop.
mircea_popescu: language is full of it, it's like a fundamental mechanism of romanian. ii da / ɨi də/ (he gives [it]
to him) vs dai-i /dəii/ (give
them
to him)
mircea_popescu: i^i ( ɨi ), short form of
to be present indicative ; i-i (ii), article-pronoun manuple.
mircea_popescu: tho generally
the russian "academics" or w/e pretend
there's no close central.
mircea_popescu: i expect
there can be peri-linguistic
tests of language mastery consisting entirely of synthetic constructions.
mircea_popescu: this'd require a large study and
the largeness will implicitly make it fail
through publicity.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have no idea what
the heuristcs actually are ; self-reported
they vary.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-24 18:27 mircea_popescu: actually it is a fine example for linguistics, because, get
this, native speaker presented with it would generally GUESS, based on PURE PHONETICS,
that it has something
to do with "being in
the way" or "standing up inconveniently" or somesuch,.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-24 20:17 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what;s
to disasm ? just a succession of letters.
mircea_popescu: by
the book "we are poor and hopeless but communism rules!!!!" argentinianism.
mircea_popescu: "oh, wanna-be mps over at ycombinator can't compete with mp
though
they really really want
to ? I KNOW!!! we'll make all
the bars suck and
then suddenly
the shit-ass parties ycombinator
throws won't look quite as shitty anymore!!1"
ben_vulpes: it's assault when creepazons do it, and otherwise it's
the normal mating dance. most dudes are creepazons, so
to regurgitate a popescuism, "unless
the bar is 80% girls and
the few guys were invited explicitly", american bars will continue
to be full of creepy low value male meat.
ben_vulpes: enshrine even restaurant staff as local delegates of
the inca
ben_vulpes: i know, let's
train
them out of agency
mircea_popescu: of course
this is never actually ~said~ as such, but i suspect for
the same reason priest omits
to specify manner and size of wife beating implement.
mircea_popescu: translation more a work of "this very
talented youngster can't grammar properly, but here's a normal
transcription"
than anything.
mircea_popescu: and no, ro hates all
things russian in
the sense of politically. otherwise romanian view is all other
things were written by alt-romanians in bad romanian.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what;s
to disasm ? just a succession of letters.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: And in research at
the fiat/Bitcoin interface it appears
there is a Brazilian single person limited liability corporation,
the Empresa Individual de Responsabilidade Limitada (EIRELI)
davout: i'm just a private pilot, when i fly people for money, i'm
the one paying
davout: becoming a professional airline pilot is on
the list, and if I don't do it now I'll soon be
too old
davout: they have an aeronautic school in oxford i want
to attend
diana_coman: I'd subscribe
to
that, yes; I don't claim I'm an expert
though
diana_coman: asciilifeform, eh, no; and fwiw esp re children's books, Russian illustrators were
tops
diana_coman: if you are very curious you might also want
to check
the publisher: iirc many are in fact published in Chisinau (Moldova) and sold in Ro because cheap compared
to local; iirc I saw quite a few books following
this route and reflecting it, as it were
diana_coman: asciilifeform, neah, next you'll be surprised
to see nosov's books or what?
shinohai: Isn't
trinque afk until
tomorrow night ?
jhvh1: BingoBoingo:
The operation succeeded.
BingoBoingo: !~later
tell
trinque pls
to process deedbot withdrawls 4 maek gr8 ISP
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there is such a
thing as a phonetic meaning encoding,
this item proves.
mircea_popescu: actually it is a fine example for linguistics, because, get
this, native speaker presented with it would generally GUESS, based on PURE PHONETICS,
that it has something
to do with "being in
the way" or "standing up inconveniently" or somesuch,.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (this is a synthetic romanian word, uses each of
the special letters exactly once. it didn't exist naturally, but it SOUNDS like it'd be a
thing, like "chioara" (one eyed female) or such ; so was defined by contest cca 2008)
a111: Logged on 2017-10-24 18:13 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i very much doubt
there can be
two items called "museum of communist consumer" under a bar called lejer in
the
tiny
temeswar.
shinohai: If davout goes
to Madagascar, please
troll
the locals by walking about in a plague doctor mask.
mircea_popescu: let it be stated i'll buy "stolen" art at any
time ; possession is 100% of
the law.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-21 23:26 mircea_popescu: and here's some lulz for asciilifeform's private "art ownerhsip" collection : femme nue couchee, a courbet knockoff of
the maja desnuda goya painting was looted in 45 by
the soviets, who displayed it in
the manner of
truckers, which is
to say on a
truck
tarpaulin.
the item was
thought lost, but it surfaced in 2000.
the owner (possession is 100% of
the law!) was accused of being unfit for ownership, as he happened
to be slovak
mircea_popescu: whole of usg has like a developer and a half
to carry
the whole load of endless "agencies", mastercard sees five minutes of developer every full moon.
mircea_popescu: and lulz at mastercard, pretending as if
they've not just one, but a whole fucking NETWORK of developers.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i very much doubt

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-10-24 16:45 mircea_popescu: maybe
they retire jointly, alf on boat
trinque on airplane.
BingoBoingo: Then again
the HKIX system is set up
to minimize
traffic sent
through United States in
transit
BingoBoingo: Of course it could also be a gambit
to get
the gringo
to offer
to invest in some undersea cable.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu:
The getting
them
to distinguish is a difficulty as well. Apparently
the Mandarin/English language duo is not conducive
to Brain finesse as per 2014-ish discussion in pidgins.
The Veit Congs were more effective communicators.
davout: for
the purpose of ending up living on airplane :D
davout actually left
tiny mauritian island last sunday, in
the process of moving
to a much larger, less civilised, island
BingoBoingo: That rider on
the ask came after
the Vietnam inquiries.
