mircea_popescu: is this the middle earth one, the battlestar one, or which one is he anyway ?
BingoBoingo: In other news, look at the "preferred" rate on the Argentine peso: 0.56-1.16 or in dollares 59.29-27.413
mircea_popescu: well, my recipient for this stuff is well empty, and i suspect it takes a while to refill.
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: (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: was 16 by the time i left, and i see coupla years ago it well... OFFICIALLY almost doubled, really more than tripled.
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: Well, Chinese are buying all their frozen cows and Turks with their issues are still buying all their standing cows
mircea_popescu: i can take argentines starving slightly later if they sink usg along.
BingoBoingo: Walmartists will love Argentine flavored plasticrap!
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: AHA, that's how you identify Argentine plasticrap! Clearly out of spec

mircea_popescu: i did some brazillian pieces, but never actually visited brazil.
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.
mircea_popescu: if the year were 1918, i'd definitely go. as it is, holy shit no.

mircea_popescu: cheap negress & mulato whores dancing naked in the streets because why the hell not is one thing. but "organization" and pantsuitism-- never.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, this latest trilema piece references no less than fifty-six other trilema articles.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck would i do without this thing ?! trilema is not possible without itself.
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: and certainly not fucking rio, and certainly not during the festival.
mircea_popescu: but yes, "countryside". why the fuck would i bother, it's to ohot and too humid.
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
BingoBoingo: In still other news about 2 blocks away 10 construction workers fell, they just wanted to diy scaffolding...
BingoBoingo: Seriously, 7 meter fall from groundish level to the hole they were building in
BingoBoingo: Of course the inspectors are being very serious about how the wood scaffolding failed yesterday and not today
BingoBoingo: Construction site in question was on the Rambla so a bunch of one way streets were direction reversed to great confusion
mircea_popescu: they should never have told orcs about 1 way streets. they're not ready for the magic yet.
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: this is like "oh, cancer... i don't have it". MAYBE ONE DAY YOU DO MOTHERFUCKER!!1
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
BingoBoingo: Well, there's only one real police. Airport security is the airforce and water/beach security is the Navy/Tourism police
mircea_popescu imagines a proportional armament, "swat teams" equipped with plastic reproductions of Pumhart von Steyr, very Brasil-like visual.
BingoBoingo: The police here never know when they are going to have to babysit ATM refills
BingoBoingo: I am explaining to the Peruana that you have boats
BingoBoingo: SHe does not, but you have yachts and baby turtles
BingoBoingo: I have not, ella no se como se dice esos en español
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: sonnow, sunnounded, tennified, annangement, annangements, embannassment, annogant, occunned,
deedbot: rain1 voiced for 30 minutes.
rain1: i never know how to answer that. I work on some code projects
diana_coman: all right; what was it you needed voice for?
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
diana_coman: I doubt twitter really interested anyone around here all that much; what does it matter how twitter picks image filenames?
diana_coman: rain1, no need to be sorry, just answer the question
rain1: someone did a trick where they put some text in the filename, kinda like how you get novelty bitcoin addresses. and i was wondering how to do it
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, that Kirk fellow sounds great and I'd rather have read something written by him than lewis
☟︎ diana_coman: rain1, ok, so you want to do some trick that some other guy did; but still not clear how does it ...matter
diana_coman: logically speaking you should ask that guy anywya
diana_coman: rain1, you know, since you work on some code projects, why don't you play eulora and work any tricks you want with the client code there - perhaps even the sort of tricks that can give your char an edge so you earn actual bitcoin
diana_coman: rain2, do you have anything else to say? tricks get tiresome rather quickly
mircea_popescu: diana_coman fixed sonnow, tennified, annangement/s, embannassment, annogant ; sunnoundedm occunned, were already fixed somehow. thanks!
a111: Logged on 2018-09-07 10:20 diana_coman: who are you rain1 ?
mircea_popescu: the implication of upping someone is that you've been personally training them, and they've been personally serving you, for some strech sufficient enough so that either a) you can answer my questions about them to my satisfaction or else b) fail a you judge your unrating them is sufficient undoing for their sins.
diana_coman: the name faintly sounded a bell and he had actually been in here before but just like this time failed to have any real reason for having voice; anyways, it was still older habit at work, no longer appropriate
mircea_popescu: on the flip side, the lengthy need to watch the join/parts entirely evaporated ; erryone can just turn that off and never again mind it.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i suppose we have a "reputation" among the script kiddies ahem i mean "hackers" etcetera.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-07 10:31 diana_coman: mircea_popescu, that Kirk fellow sounds great and I'd rather have read something written by him than lewis
diana_coman: that's what it sounded to me too although I'd have thought there was more than "they know stuff" to whatever reputation there might be there; then again, sorrying one's way out of answering a question is the same pick and choose approach so not surprising
mircea_popescu: "At Queen's College he had a distinguished academic career, graduating (in July, 1868) with 1st class honours in English, History and Metaphysics."
mircea_popescu: but yes, this "choosing" thing's pretty much the only thing left in the anglotard mind. they'll fuzz you out!
diana_coman: I must say that I read lewis' narnia very late, mainly to see what the whole buzz was all about but it seemed a very poor and sorry thing to me so I still don't know what is supposed to be amazing about it
rain2: mircea_popescu: did you just call me scipt kiddy
mircea_popescu: "From the 1750s, as with other Oxford colleges, standards dropped." << i'd say for the record that's about the right cutoff. by the time victorian period was starting, poor oxford was well threadbare already.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, the britain-france paralleles are amusing. stage 1 : the french decide to end feudalism in bloodshed ; the brits copy them same half century later, escept the bloodshed is of maidenheads, in industrialist's beds ;
mircea_popescu: stage 2 : the french grasp that the end of feudalism is not "progress", but literal "the end", proceed to huge party called napoleon ; the brits copy them some half century later, except their idea of a party is victorian england
mircea_popescu: it wasn't a "moral" or ethical concern that did it, either. it was sheer disinterest.
mircea_popescu: well, you never know, world's not exactly a lab. but it seems to me the beating is at the core of it.
mircea_popescu: if you stop taking your hunting dog out to hunts, does it burn ?
BingoBoingo: Not burst into flames, but slowly smolders as nervous wreck
BingoBoingo: lol, the no talking to stangers thing has been a standard for at least a couple years now
rain2: you've spent a lot of lines insulting me so if I may respond? you seem to have made totally false assumption about me. I just thought it was an interesting topic and that people would be interested here. I stopped talking about it when they said it was uninteresting. No need to paint me like some adversary.. I just wanted to talk to fun people.
