mircea_popescu: i imagine 50 million billion trillion chickpeas sold since the dawn of agriculture.

mircea_popescu: no, i'm with you, that ui died.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: i (and perhaps BingoBoingo) would argue that ui disappeared.
mircea_popescu: for all i care you can take early macs marketshare in 2011 if it pleases you

rithm: i'm only about 25% french reading and hearing
mircea_popescu: they have to start feeling bitcoin-y if i have to personally strangle every single andreas out there.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: I can speak it well enough to order a beer, buy groceries, and insult the locals, with a halfway bastardized accent between parisian and quebecois, and I can hear it enough to get about 70% of radio broadcasts and conversational (polite) parisian french, and about 30% of slangy quebecois..
mircea_popescu: i am not willing to allow the "feeling usg-y, feeling fiat-y" package no matter the cost.

mircea_popescu: romanian is the most flexible language i've ever heard.
midnightmagic: mircea_popescu: It is universal; some languages are resistant to it, for various reasons. There are some theories on that based around a language's resilience and flexibility, but I thought the population speaking Romanian was large enough to preserve it. It's pretty unfortunate if that's not so. :(
