| scientes | > Does Microsoft have a future in Russia, or why we should stop hating | Aug 27 12:42 |
| scientes | hehe, Microsoft gives version of this talk at almost every conference in existance | Aug 27 12:42 |
| scientes | for like the last 10 years | Aug 27 12:42 |
| XRevan86 | "love us!" | Aug 27 12:44 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Steve Ballmer Gets Egged - YouTube | Aug 27 12:45 | |
| XRevan86 | scientes: What does the guy say? | Aug 27 12:46 |
| scientes | IIRC he was mad at Microsoft extracting so much money from Hungary | Aug 27 12:46 |
| scientes | you mean in the talk? | Aug 27 12:47 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: The guy in the white shirt. He says something, but I can barely make it out. | Aug 27 12:47 |
| scientes | Well, Microsoft does employee lots of academics, and thus basically functions as a research university, and has thus had accomplishments in formally proven crypto and theorum solvers | Aug 27 12:48 |
| scientes | oh, I don't feel like watching that video again | Aug 27 12:48 |
| scientes | that comes from my days in this channel years ago | Aug 27 12:48 |
| scientes | oh, Russian has this sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXOQZ8MRvB4 | Aug 27 12:50 |
| scientes | ehhh день | Aug 27 12:50 |
| scientes | it really annoys me that you can't copy-paste from google translate | Aug 27 12:50 |
| scientes | i think its because they are drawing the fonts in javascript or something | Aug 27 12:50 |
| scientes | день | Aug 27 12:51 |
| scientes | heh, yandex translate is fine | Aug 27 12:51 |
| scientes | perhaps they wrote it before web fonts | Aug 27 12:51 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: Ďeň | Aug 27 12:51 |
| scientes | so that's what ь does | Aug 27 12:51 |
| scientes | but that last sound is unfamiliar | Aug 27 12:52 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: It's a ñ | Aug 27 12:52 |
| scientes | and very stereotypical Russian too :) | Aug 27 12:52 |
| scientes | oh really | Aug 27 12:52 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: "ь" is to slender a consonant without a leading vowel. | Aug 27 12:52 |
| XRevan86 | Historically a slendering schwa, when Slavic languages didn't have consonant clusters. | Aug 27 12:53 |
| scientes | > didn't have consonant clusters. | Aug 27 12:53 |
| scientes | oh wow, so English was more gutteral | Aug 27 12:53 |
| scientes | those consonant clusters are hard | Aug 27 12:54 |
| scientes | (until you know them of course) | Aug 27 12:54 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: Usually they're trimmed verbally. | Aug 27 12:54 |
| scientes | Have you seen "O, Brother, Where Art Thou?" | Aug 27 12:55 |
| scientes | that's a great movie | Aug 27 12:55 |
| scientes | just watched it again last night | Aug 27 12:55 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: The first time I hear about it %) | Aug 27 12:55 |
| scientes | Adaptation of the Odyssey | Aug 27 12:56 |
| scientes | but a really good one | Aug 27 12:56 |
| scientes | XRevan86, I have heard | Aug 27 12:57 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: It's not uncommon to hear "pasiba" instead of "spasibo" | Aug 27 12:57 |
| scientes | that's just laziness | Aug 27 12:57 |
| scientes | The Argentina accent of Spanish is quite different | Aug 27 12:58 |
| XRevan86 | I'm trying to think of a more complex example, but it'll take time %) | Aug 27 12:58 |
| scientes | It is easier when it isn't your native language | Aug 27 12:59 |
| XRevan86 | S'ejčas → sčas → šas | Aug 27 13:00 |
| scientes | hat language? | Aug 27 13:01 |
| XRevan86 | щ is historically šč, now it's slender š | Aug 27 13:01 |
| scientes | despite be being horrible at Cyrillic, I def. prefer Russian in cyrillic (or IPA for clarity I guess) | Aug 27 13:01 |
| XRevan86 | pretty much the same idea, that combination is being commonly simplified. | Aug 27 13:01 |
| scientes | cause latin or german english and spanish are totally different | Aug 27 13:02 |
| XRevan86 | Сейчас → счас → щас (шяс) | Aug 27 13:02 |
| scientes | and you have to know the context | Aug 27 13:02 |
| XRevan86 | I based that transliteration on the Czech alphabet | Aug 27 13:02 |
| scientes | yeah it looks polish to me | Aug 27 13:02 |
| scientes | (not knowing any polish) | Aug 27 13:03 |
| XRevan86 | Except they don't have a " S' " letter, but I think that's fair enough to make a digraph by analogy with ť and stuff. | Aug 27 13:03 |
| *scientes thinks learning Russian will help with orthographic reasoning | Aug 27 13:04 | |
| XRevan86 | In Polish instead of "č" I'd have to use ć or cz | Aug 27 13:04 |
| scientes | or resuming my arabic studies | Aug 27 13:04 |
| scientes | which never got far | Aug 27 13:04 |
| scientes | but even the little I did I could realize it was easier than english | Aug 27 13:04 |
| XRevan86 | and ś or sz instead of š | Aug 27 13:04 |
| XRevan86 | (slender and broad respectively; cool that they have that distinction by the way) | Aug 27 13:04 |
| -->foxpup (54c74531@84-199-69-49.ifiber.telenet-ops.be) has joined #techrights | Aug 27 13:05 | |

| scientes | even with the tiny exposure to Polish (I don't think any czech exposure) | Aug 27 13:05 |
| scientes | Bóg się rodzi | Aug 27 13:05 |
| XRevan86 | I think to represent Щ in a historically accurate I need to spell it like szcz | Aug 27 13:05 |

| XRevan86 | (ru) щука → (pl) szczupak | Aug 27 13:06 |

| XRevan86 | щелина → szczelina | Aug 27 13:07 |
| scientes | There were some polish tourists here too | Aug 27 13:07 |

| XRevan86 | scientes: There | Aug 27 13:08 |
| scientes | oh interesting | Aug 27 13:09 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: Emphasis on the first consonant cluster | Aug 27 13:09 |
| scientes | yeah the polish actually pronounce it | Aug 27 13:09 |
| XRevan86 | in Russian there isn't any, comtemporarily | Aug 27 13:09 |
| XRevan86 | contemporarily | Aug 27 13:09 |
| scientes | the "t" against the teeth there | Aug 27 13:09 |
| scientes | stew-pack | Aug 27 13:09 |
| XRevan86 | shchupak | Aug 27 13:10 |
| scientes | yeah | Aug 27 13:10 |
| scientes | but with a t | Aug 27 13:10 |
| scientes | shchtupak | Aug 27 13:10 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: No, I don't hear that… | Aug 27 13:10 |
| scientes | its the tsu sound | Aug 27 13:10 |
| scientes | which is in chinese | Aug 27 13:10 |
| scientes | or japaneese | Aug 27 13:10 |
| scientes | with a s before | Aug 27 13:11 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: č and ť are close, maybe that's why you hear it | Aug 27 13:11 |
| scientes | but the polish spelling is good | Aug 27 13:11 |
| scientes | ahh yes, i think you are right | Aug 27 13:11 |
| scientes | i think it is hungarian that lacks a v в sound. | Aug 27 13:12 |
| scientes | And I went to a wedding once where the bridge practiced saying "vow" for weeks beforehand | Aug 27 13:12 |
| scientes | *beide | Aug 27 13:12 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: The alphabet has it | Aug 27 13:12 |
| scientes | hmm, it was one of those eastern european languages | Aug 27 13:12 |
| scientes | there are so many of them | Aug 27 13:13 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: Maybe Finnish | Aug 27 13:13 |
| XRevan86 | w:Finnish orthography: "Typically pronounced as approximant [ʋ] rather than fricative [v]." | Aug 27 13:13 |
| scientes | like in "win"? | Aug 27 13:14 |
| XRevan86 | So if they were trying not to say "wow", then that checks out | Aug 27 13:14 |
| scientes | yeah pretty much | Aug 27 13:14 |
| scientes | lol, its in the video game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1yD3_EL90Y Bóg się rodzi | Aug 27 13:15 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Civilization V OST | Casimir Peace Theme | Bóg się rodzi - YouTube | Aug 27 13:15 | |
| XRevan86 | Бог, родись? | Aug 27 13:17 |
| scientes | are you just transliterating? | Aug 27 13:17 |
| XRevan86 | The birth of Jesus or something? | Aug 27 13:17 |
| scientes | basically | Aug 27 13:18 |
| scientes | its the biggest Polish christmas carol | Aug 27 13:18 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: Almost, I also have to move "się" after "rodzi" | Aug 27 13:18 |
| scientes | My orchestra director was Polish so we played it | Aug 27 13:18 |
| XRevan86 | rodzi-się → роди-ся → родись | Aug 27 13:19 |
| XRevan86 | + knowing that ď shifted to dz in Polish | Aug 27 13:19 |
| scientes | oh wow | Aug 27 13:19 |
| scientes | I thought the languages were more distinct than that | Aug 27 13:20 |
| XRevan86 | rodzi-się → родзи-сѧ → роди-ся → родись | Aug 27 13:20 |
| scientes | but I guess they are both slavic languages | Aug 27 13:21 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: I'm not sure I would've picked that in verbal communication. | Aug 27 13:22 |
| XRevan86 | "się" doesn't sound much like "s'a", more like "s'en" | Aug 27 13:22 |
| scientes | well, word choice is the first thing that goes in divergent languages | Aug 27 13:23 |
| scientes | even British and American english have quite a few differences there | Aug 27 13:23 |
| XRevan86 | And a little more background: "сѧ" is a historical word for self | Aug 27 13:24 |
| XRevan86 | in an accusative form | Aug 27 13:24 |
| XRevan86 | So it's a reflective pronoun. | Aug 27 13:25 |
| XRevan86 | In родись and się rodzi | Aug 27 13:25 |

| scientes | this is a totally different topic, but it kinda ticks me that the US refuses to use the word Persian because they hate Iran so much | Aug 27 13:26 |
| XRevan86 | but for some reason Polish and Russian differ in where to put it | Aug 27 13:26 |
| scientes | and instead say "farsi" | Aug 27 13:26 |

| XRevan86 | Either way a словѧнская republic %) | Aug 27 13:42 |

| XRevan86 | TODO: Figure out how it got to be "славянская" in Russian. Old Church Slavonic influence? | Aug 27 13:43 |
| scientes | My experience with Israeli tourists is that too many of them know neither English nor Arabic | Aug 27 13:45 |
| scientes | which leads me to compare them to the crusaders that had a colony there temporarily | Aug 27 13:45 |
| scientes | and by Arabic accounts were pretty isolated | Aug 27 13:45 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: How many of them know Russian? :) | Aug 27 13:45 |
| scientes | probably not as many that can afford to travel | Aug 27 13:46 |
| scientes | but I hear than phone prompts are usually Hebrew or Russian, with no Arabic or English options | Aug 27 13:46 |
| scientes | cause Israel now has lots of the second generation | Aug 27 13:46 |
| scientes | that doesn't know the English, French, and German (and Yiddish) that their parents did | Aug 27 13:47 |
| scientes | and I guess some spanish too, from Argentina | Aug 27 13:47 |
| scientes | I met a Russian-Israeli in Costa Rica | Aug 27 13:48 |
| scientes | Persians have very high levels of Arabic knowledge | Aug 27 13:51 |
| scientes | because of religion | Aug 27 13:51 |
| XRevan86 | хлѣбъ in Bulgarian turned into хляб, but for ѣ in OCS Wikipedia gives a different sound. | Aug 27 13:51 |
| XRevan86 | слов- → слав- is explained well by OCS influence as it's similiar to ростение → растение, etc. | Aug 27 13:52 |
| scientes | I was just listening to a story that this hitch-hiker couldn't communicate to some pashtuns, but I just don't believe that the pashtuns don't know basic arabic or persian | Aug 27 13:55 |

| scientes | those protests in hong kong were orchestrated from abroad | Aug 27 19:20 |
| scientes | psydroid, i find duolingo horrible, the main app part | Aug 27 19:20 |
| scientes | the stories part and the podcast are great | Aug 27 19:20 |
| scientes | otherwise I use pimsleurs which is excellent, but they remade the spanish one and the new one is HORRIBLE, so use the old one | Aug 27 19:21 |
| scientes | I guess that now that Paul Pimsleur is dead they can only produce crap | Aug 27 19:21 |
| scientes | pimsleurs arabic even was able to teach reading | Aug 27 19:22 |
| scientes | even though it is focused on listening and speaking and pronounciation | Aug 27 19:22 |
| psydroid | scientes, I've been using it to review things or get a start before switching over to other resources such as the many textbooks I have collected over the years. For some languages it can be a bit more useful, but I think many people take it far too seriously. | Aug 27 19:25 |
| psydroid | I used Pimsleur for getting familiar with Persian, it was useful for getting an idea of the language | Aug 27 19:26 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-Arabic Influence on Modern Hebrew!! - YouTube | Aug 27 19:40 | |
| scientes | psydroid, I am just starting to get functional in spanish, and the pimsleurs has been invaluable. It covers all of the basic grammer in a very short amount of time, and gives you the tools to start talking to patient people | Aug 27 19:43 |
| scientes | oh course I am a native english speaker however, and pimsleurs only does english->other and other->english | Aug 27 19:44 |
| scientes | I get the feeling that with this plan of building a railroad in Cuba and stuff that the Russians are still acting like soviets, and they are missing a great oppurtunity for US-style diplomacy. There are all these unemployeed Venezuelan engineers---I run into them selling candy on buses | Aug 27 19:45 |
| MinceR | https://vid.pr0gramm.com/2019/06/27/685afdfcdf3d224e.mp4 | Aug 27 19:54 |
| psydroid | I consider all these resources useful, but when it comes to Romance languages such as Spanish I compare things to how they were in Latin. And when it comes to Slavic languages my reference is usually Sanskrit, going through English isn't really what I tend to do. | Aug 27 19:55 |
| psydroid | scientes, Pimsleur is great for that, I agree. It's what is usually missing in the school system, although language education in the Netherlands is pretty good compared to what it's like in other countries | Aug 27 20:02 |
| scientes | my school had a good French teacher, but alas, I did not take French (should have) | Aug 27 20:03 |
| scientes | so Spanish is really my first foreign language | Aug 27 20:03 |
| scientes | on a related note, do have any book recommendations on the Dutch golden age? | Aug 27 20:05 |
| scientes | I was suggested this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0521604605/ | Aug 27 20:05 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.amazon.com | NO TITLE | Aug 27 20:05 | |
| scientes | and this one: https://www.amazon.com/Embarrassment-Riches-Interpretation-Culture-Golden/dp/0679781242/ref=pd_ybh_a_10?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=ARGKCF5G9JSFT5E1EVW0 | Aug 27 20:06 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.amazon.com | NO TITLE | Aug 27 20:06 | |
| psydroid | I don't really have any as I haven't been reading much about Dutch history after finishing high school | Aug 27 20:07 |
| scientes | yeah here I am trying to read the high school text book on Peru's history | Aug 27 20:07 |
| scientes | It has so many more details about the ice ages and the natives than US text books, which are horrible and don't even mention New Amsterdam | Aug 27 20:10 |
| scientes | or New Sweden | Aug 27 20:10 |
| psydroid | for the past decade I have been reading more about West and South Asia and Eastern Europe, which more or less coincides with my interest in the languages and cultures of those regions | Aug 27 20:10 |
| scientes | when I growing up there was a old Dutch homesteader who first went to the Dakotas, and then Washington | Aug 27 20:14 |
| scientes | he loved farming | Aug 27 20:15 |
| scientes | he even rented neighbors plots and farmed them even though he hardly broke even | Aug 27 20:15 |
| scientes | he would talk of going to the nearest urban area as if it was a major trip, even though I would go every week, and later most people went every day | Aug 27 20:18 |
| psydroid | what you are saying about native US and UK text books also rings true with me, so while I do have a lot of books in English, I also try to collect them in other languages. I have quite a sizeable collection of Polish books, but not really had the time to read them. | Aug 27 20:18 |
| psydroid | and yes, I realise I should have more in Dutch considering I have spent most of my life living here | Aug 27 20:18 |
| psydroid | I grew up on the countryside and didn't go to cities very often | Aug 27 20:19 |
| scientes | the Anglos don't like the "middle ages" because England was then a back-water | Aug 27 20:19 |
| scientes | Utopia was written in Latin because English wasn't stable enough | Aug 27 20:20 |
| psydroid | when I was in my last few years of high school, I borrowed books from the school library and the local municipal libraries | Aug 27 20:23 |
| psydroid | which most people never read, so I could keep them for months at a time | Aug 27 20:24 |
| scientes | not quite sure about New Sweden, but New Amsterdam was won by an important war between Britian and Dutch | Aug 27 20:24 |
| scientes | the "protest wind IIRC" | Aug 27 20:24 |
| scientes | *protestant | Aug 27 20:24 |
| psydroid | among those was a book with stories in Old English, which I found interesting because it looked more like Dutch than Modern English does | Aug 27 20:25 |
| scientes | psydroid, this was really good https://www.amazon.com/Two-Arabic-Travel-Books-Literature/dp/1479803502 | Aug 27 20:25 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.amazon.com | NO TITLE | Aug 27 20:25 | |
| scientes | and there was also an interest account of the crusaders in Arabic that I read (translated to English) | Aug 27 20:25 |
| scientes | well, its really what you are interested in, which seems to be language | Aug 27 20:27 |
| scientes | I was interested in the Dutch because once I got a picture of England in the 18th century which was really interesting, it seemed natural to learn about Dutch in the 17th | Aug 27 20:27 |
| psydroid | I have many interests such as language, history, science, technology, music etc. but what bothers me a bit is that I don't really excel in anything | Aug 27 20:29 |
| scientes | do you play any instruments? | Aug 27 20:29 |
| psydroid | only the electric guitar a bit, but I haven't played in almost a decade | Aug 27 20:30 |
| scientes | now that I am traveling I miss playing the cello | Aug 27 20:31 |
| psydroid | I have had too much going on in my life to spend much any time playing | Aug 27 20:31 |
| scientes | I gave up an opportunity to play the solo part of a concerto, but I really am not good enough for that | Aug 27 20:31 |
| scientes | by starting my travels | Aug 27 20:32 |
| psydroid | I can understand that, especially considering you play at an advanced level | Aug 27 20:32 |
| scientes | well, only one movement | Aug 27 20:32 |
| scientes | but still | Aug 27 20:32 |
| scientes | intermediate level | Aug 27 20:33 |
| scientes | when i am around professional musicians I am quite terrible | Aug 27 20:33 |
| scientes | but that is mostly because I didn't play for like 10 years | Aug 27 20:34 |
| psydroid | are you considering playing again, if you move somewhere you can truly settle for some time? | Aug 27 20:36 |
| psydroid | are you considering playing again, if you move somewhere you can truly settle for some time? | Aug 27 20:36 |
| scientes | yes, I really want to play again | Aug 27 20:37 |
| scientes | in a community orchestra | Aug 27 20:37 |
| scientes | I almost rented a cello in Lima | Aug 27 20:37 |
| scientes | but am glad I didn't | Aug 27 20:37 |
| scientes | and then these guys have such insane technique https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHbwAd5gkMM | Aug 27 20:40 |

| XRevan86 | Facebook blocked a fundraiser because the money was intended to go to a "sanctioned" country, i.e. Ukraine. | Aug 27 20:43 |
| scientes | XRevan86, that isn't really suprising | Aug 27 20:43 |
| scientes | its stupid on the side of the US, but that is going on accross the board right now | Aug 27 20:43 |
| XRevan86 | Apparently "Crimea is a part of Ukraine" and "Crimea is under sanctions" turned into "Ukraine is under sanctions" | Aug 27 20:44 |
| MinceR | lol | Aug 27 20:44 |
| scientes | XRevan86, what is more suprising is that the funcraiser wasn't a CIA thing, like the Venezuela "fundraisers" I've seen in my travels | Aug 27 20:44 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: Ukraine!!! | Aug 27 20:44 |
| scientes | ohhhhhh I see, they made a mistake | Aug 27 20:44 |
| scientes | I found medicines that were probably being asset stripped from a hospital from Ukraine on eBay | Aug 27 20:45 |
| scientes | and they also sold all of the gold | Aug 27 20:45 |
