diana_coman: rain1, no need to be sorry, just answer the question
diana_coman: I doubt twitter really interested anyone around here all that much; what does it matter how twitter picks image filenames?
rain1: I wanted to ask if anybody knew how twitter image filenames were derived from the file content. there's a bit of info about the url structure but no explanation which hash algorithm is used
rain1: i never know how to answer that. I work on some code projects
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: sonnow, sunnounded, tennified, annangement, annangements, embannassment, annogant, occunned,

mircea_popescu: you ever had one of those things btw ?
BingoBoingo: SHe does not, but you have yachts and baby turtles
BingoBoingo: I am explaining to the Peruana that you have boats
BingoBoingo: The police here never know when they are going to have to babysit ATM refills
mircea_popescu imagines a proportional armament, "swat teams" equipped with plastic reproductions of Pumhart von Steyr, very Brasil-like visual.
BingoBoingo: Well, there's only one real police. Airport security is the airforce and water/beach security is the Navy/Tourism police
mircea_popescu: ahaha they give aks to traffic police ?!
BingoBoingo: Well, there also aren't cars here. And the policia was directing trafffic with their AK's so my first though was one of the Cambios was robbed
mircea_popescu: what then!!! it'll suck!!!
BingoBoingo: Wasn't too bad for me. I walk
mircea_popescu: do you know how many fucking times it's happened here car was going on road, continued to go on road WHICH WAS NOW WRONG WAY ?!
mircea_popescu: they should never have told orcs about 1 way streets. they're not ready for the magic yet.
BingoBoingo: Construction site in question was on the Rambla so a bunch of one way streets were direction reversed to great confusion
BingoBoingo: Of course the inspectors are being very serious about how the wood scaffolding failed yesterday and not today
BingoBoingo: Seriously, 7 meter fall from groundish level to the hole they were building in
BingoBoingo: In still other news about 2 blocks away 10 construction workers fell, they just wanted to diy scaffolding...
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> but yes, "countryside". why the fuck would i bother, it's to ohot and too humid. << This and the marijuana is why Uruguay gets away with pretending to have an economy
mircea_popescu: let them learn to irc.
mircea_popescu: but yes, "countryside". why the fuck would i bother, it's to ohot and too humid.
mircea_popescu: and certainly not fucking rio, and certainly not during the festival.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> cheap negress & mulato whores dancing naked in the streets because why the hell not is one thing. but "organization" and pantsuitism-- never. << I have heard these places still exist in Brazil, but not from people who live there or who spend more than a couple days at a time.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck would i do without this thing ?! trilema is not possible without itself.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, this latest trilema piece references no less than fifty-six other trilema articles.
asciilifeform: oh ya and also these

asciilifeform: hey, street punks with ak's, caterpillars that bind cholinesterase on contact, zika, what's not to like!111
mircea_popescu: if the year were 1918, i'd definitely go. as it is, holy shit no.
mircea_popescu: i was going to go to rio, for about the same sort of "oh, great party!" naivite that had me go to argentina. in the light of experience i had the relevant parts researched, and now i know i don't want to go to the rio festival in the late 2010s anymore than i want to buy real estate in miami.
asciilifeform: asciilifeform is specifically curious, re why brazil, afaik the 1 serious country in the whole landmass, is also half dour shithole ( asciilifeform's extended wot includes at least 1 d00d who went to brazil for physics conf and came back as 'cargo 200' , so i suspect the reputation aint entirely mythical )

mircea_popescu: comparably large, too!
mircea_popescu: really the two idiotistans are made for one another.
asciilifeform: the ones with charred crud where the thermosetting plastic might otherwise be
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: AHA, that's how you identify Argentine plasticrap! Clearly out of spec
asciilifeform: where was that mircea_popescu piece, with the electric heaters
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: lol wat plastic. i dun think the ar folx at this point can even make molds.
asciilifeform: it'd even begin to make sense if they bought'em up to make long pig pepperoni. but no, they buy to 'biznis as usual'
BingoBoingo: They can have nothing together!
mircea_popescu: i can take argentines starving slightly later if they sink usg along.
asciilifeform: ( the point of doing this, escapes me , but seems to be the rule )
asciilifeform: somehow this never seems to happen to bankrupt orcistans, instead usg prints a few extra pallets and buys'em
BingoBoingo: Well, Chinese are buying all their frozen cows and Turks with their issues are still buying all their standing cows
mircea_popescu: i hope they starve ; to the last man.
BingoBoingo: August ended with the Argentine pesos still floating near parity with the peso Uruguayp http://bingology.net/2018/08/27/peso-watch-august-edition/
asciilifeform: iirc they venezuelaed as recently as '01. (shitholes apparently are rechargeable)
mircea_popescu: hopefully they venezuela before tghe decade's out.
mircea_popescu: one of the most satisfying things i ever did in my entire life was contribute my contribution to the ending of that shithole.
BingoBoingo: When I got here it was ~20 to 25
mircea_popescu: was 16 by the time i left, and i see coupla years ago it well... OFFICIALLY almost doubled, really more than tripled.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what was it at the time of c3, 13 ar.peso / 1 $ ?
mircea_popescu: (trump was proferring his "full support": for macri at the fmi. thoiugh i much doubt the fmi has any money to burn on that dead end)
mircea_popescu: that must rankle the argentards.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, Argentine peso is solidly worse than Uruguayo peso now and keeps diving. 60 pesos Argentinos to buy a USD
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo is this a good thing ?
asciilifeform: jrrt by some accounts did not even set out to write fiction, he was linguist, wanted some place to dump his conlangolade.
mircea_popescu: well, my recipient for this stuff is well empty, and i suspect it takes a while to refill.
BingoBoingo: In other news, look at the "preferred" rate on the Argentine peso: 0.56-1.16 or in dollares 59.29-27.413
asciilifeform: ( jrrt, funnily, was the catholic )
mircea_popescu: so not the whole lord of the ring thing ?
mircea_popescu: so it's not the guy who "invented" orcs ?
mircea_popescu: jesus i didn't even read that one.
mircea_popescu: is this the middle earth one, the battlestar one, or which one is he anyway ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: funnily enuff, asciilifeform's intake of c. s. lewis was in 1991, he was not printed afaik in su, but hey, perestroika, and suddenly translated and printed on toiletpaper and sold at fleamarket by crypto-evangiderps. brother picked up the series, i barfed on vol.2 where lion jizzus dies 'for our sins', fin.

mircea_popescu: anyway, fixed those, lemme know if moar.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, it seems to have replaced "rr" with "nn"? "innelevant" and "annives" , it gets arroying after a while

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: seekrit plot to save $B's from ru budget!1111
mircea_popescu: Mocky bear in mind that you live in gangland, and for some incomprehensible reason the mob decided to steal all moneys.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform remind me again, which is the short story with the "intelligence handicaps", loud whistles in ears and whatnot ?
Mocky: was shooting for half a dozen trades, but got an introduction to local trader via meat wot and I mentioned the total I'm selling
mircea_popescu: Mocky don't do it in a single trade, it's unseemly.
