kanzurehey JayDugger 18:41
JayDuggerHello, kanzure.18:41
JayDuggerThank you for posting that U of KY Open Design paper. I enjoyed reading it.18:42
JayDuggerI took their point about open design combating obsolescence. A machine designed in the 1980s sat across the room from me when I read that passage.18:43
kanzure"took their point"?18:43
JayDuggerOpen design would have helped prevent much of the work on that machine.18:44
JayDuggerLet me put it this way. That machine's original computer was a PDP-11.18:46
kanzureheh18:46
JayDuggerThe documentation was written at the beginning of the careers by people who have long since retired.18:47
JayDuggerAnd--any performance tweaks mean editing assembly code.18:47
JayDuggerThe only good thing about it was truthfully telling my boss, "What do I know about one of those? I've never even seen a picture of one."18:48
JayDugger\/rant :)18:48
drazakkanzure: that sounds highly questionably19:05
drazakkanzure: fibroblasts are pretty mature/restricted19:05
futuresoonRecent work has shown that mouse and human fibroblasts can be reprogrammed to a pluripotent state with a combination of four transcription factors. This raised the question of whether transcription factors could directly induce other defined somatic cell fates, and not only an undifferentiated state. We hypothesized that combinatorial expression of neural-lineage-specific transcription factors could directly convert fibroblasts 19:16
futuresooninto neurons. Starting from a pool of nineteen candidate genes, we identified a combination of only three factors, Ascl1, Brn2 (also called Pou3f2) and Myt1l, that suffice to rapidly and efficiently convert mouse embryonic and postnatal fibroblasts into functional neurons in vitro.19:16
futuresoonthat's what they're claiming at least19:16
drazakoh, right19:20
drazakyou need to make them IPSC's first19:20
drazakalso do they show westerns and RTPCR showing gene and protein expression?19:21
drazakI'd guess they'd still show a lot of fibroblast genes19:21
* fenn just had a nice interview with gary wolf for the NY times19:24
JayDuggerOh?19:25
fennre: self tracking (and everything else)19:25
JayDuggerKudos! I hope your points survive to publication. :)19:25
kanzurefenn: yeah i've met with gary a few times. nice guy19:34
kanzurehe was totally psyched about andrew hessel19:34
kanzuregary wolf is with wired.com though, i thought19:34

futuresoonwhat little weight that is so far?23:52
ybitmaybe when then have weight23:53

futuresoonybit: they're considering changing the party name to People's Front of Judea :-)23:56
futuresoonas an ironic meta-commentary on the contentiousness of the name Pirate Party23:56
ybitthat's funny, but if they are changing it because they want to be taken seriously, bad choice23:56
futuresoonwell it's a monty python reference and the webdev team is all python23:56
ybitright, and didn't know that23:56
futuresoonalso Open Party, Bull Moose Party, other possibilities23:57

futuresoonthere was some talk of American Party23:58
ybitor freedom party? 23:58
futuresoon"because then the media would have to call us "The Americans""23:58
ybitthat works23:58
ybithaha, that's great23:58
futuresoonnet neutrality, an end to corporate personhood23:59
futuresoonthese are some of the rough outlines, but all that has to be hashed out23:59
futuresoonand ultimately it'll be done something like this (if the plan comes off)23:59
futuresoonyou have deliberative forums, where people make issues to vote on23:59
