katsmeow-afkthe problem is: insurance won't stop you from dying, else it may be worth it13:54
katsmeow-afkthat's a twitter url? i have twitter blocked13:55
katsmeow-afkbtw, /me waves hi up to to ybit13:55

kanzurehello GNUtoo 14:00
kanzureybit: insurance is necessary if you don't want to be sued to oblivion by insurance companies14:01
GNUtoohi,what is this channel about? a free software calculator?14:01
kanzureno14:01
GNUtoook14:01
kanzureybit: the problem is that if someone gets hurt in your shop, and they have insurance, the insurance will pay them their money; but, the insurance company will sue you14:01
GNUtooI'm curious...someone mentioned the channel and so I wondered what it was about14:01
kanzurewe do open source hardware and transhuman tech14:02
GNUtoook14:03
katsmeow-afkso you need minimal insurance from each and every company, effectively bribing them, so they think twice about sueing themselves?14:04
kanzurehah14:05
kanzurethat would be interesting14:05
kanzurebut very expensive14:05
ybithi katsmeow-afk, weathering the storms?14:05
ybithi GNUtoo, bienvenido14:06
katsmeow-afkit was warmer outside at midnite 12hrs ago than now, we got no weather cept rain14:06
GNUtoohi14:07
ybitwhy not just make a parent responsible for a child's actions, having each person under 18 years of age (or whatever age is considered an adult for your state) have a parent with them14:09
kanzureit doesn't matter if it's a child or not14:09
ybitGNUtoo: is with kristianpaul, part of the effort to create a hackerspace in colombia14:09
kristianpaulis not the only one btw 14:10
ybitoh14:10
kristianpaulthere are others (2)14:10
ybitwho?14:10
kristianpaulin bogota and medellin14:10
ybitah14:10
kristianpaulalso a dorkbot14:10
katsmeow-afkmost parents treat kids as disposable, or assign them too much or too little responcibility, and don't get upset untilt hey haveto replace the kid14:10
GNUtooybit, I'm just a friend of kristianpaul ...but I live in italy14:10
ybitnice14:11
GNUtooI think I was the one who had the idea of the logo of his hackerspace14:11
kristianpaulyes he desing it and jsut fixed it a bit14:11
kristianpauldesigned*14:11
ybithow does insurance protect a hackerspace? i have little exp in dealing with insurance14:12
kristianpaulhmm14:12
katsmeow-afkit's an umbrella, don't you watch tv?14:12
katsmeow-afkyou pay off the insurance co to take the financial hit in case some dope gets wound up in a lathe and sues you14:13
ybitkatsmeow-afk: not enough apparently14:13
katsmeow-afkor tapes the emergency stop switches over and gets his paws chopped off14:13
ybitbut why not just make them sign a waiver saying that they are fully aware that they may die and are willing to deal with that14:13
katsmeow-afkor dropps into a chute feeding a shredder becaouse he climbed the railings14:13
katsmeow-afkbecause the waiver may be contested in court by surviving family of the gov14:14
katsmeow-afkor the gov14:14
kanzureyou think your little 2-page waiver is going to stop a man who had his hand cut off from suing the fuck out of you?14:14
kanzure=]14:15
kanzurei'm not trying to do scaremongering here. insurance is brutal14:15
katsmeow-afkor the building inspector approved the railing spacing, but thent he law was changed and you weren't notified, and some kid's dog sqeezes thru and dies, and they sue you for 20 yrs of god companionship ($1,000,000)14:15
ybiti don't the waiver will prevent them from suing but it's proof that they knew the risks14:15
ybit+think14:15
katsmeow-afknope, "mental state"14:16
ybitfuck14:16
ybitinsurance is expensive, no?14:16
kristianpaulyes14:16
kristianpauleven more for us14:16
ybit:\14:17
kristianpauli think14:17
kristianpaulthe risk is high14:17
katsmeow-afkit's happened, wife goes into shooting range, ex-husband does too, both are adults and check out a gun, sign paperwork, ex then shoots wife or self14:17
katsmeow-afkhappened 2x in Fla in 09, iirc14:17
katsmeow-afkshooting range gets sued, legal expenses thru the roof, insurance or not, the cost is extreme14:18
ybithaha, i just remembered, kanzure, you were in my dreams last night, we were roaming through my imaginary version of your college and there was a group/class that would link up with each other with a device to read each others minds, another class was diybio and then there was some church which my friend parted from us so that he could proclaim diybio evil because it wasn't right for us to tinker with "god's creatures", "they were making bacteria glow!" a14:20
ybitthanks for the conversation on insurance, god this sucks14:22
katsmeow-afkheh14:23
ybitgeez, it's taken over 24 hours to transfer about 50GB over my network 14:23
ybitit's not even half-way through 14:24
katsmeow-afk86megabytes/hr? ouch14:24
ybittoo many torrent i suppose14:24
katsmeow-afkwhat's torent got to do with your network?14:24
ybitmy comp can only read so many bytes sent its way, i've got 2 rsync instancesand two wget --mirror instances14:26
katsmeow-afkoh,, err, i guess i confused "your lan" with "your isp"14:27
katsmeow-afkwhen you said "my network"14:27
ybitnope, i meant my network14:27
ybitthis computer is connected via wifi14:28
ybitthe server is running slow right now, and both computers have torrents being transferred14:29
katsmeow-afki have 4 puters on the 100megabit router to the internet, 9 are on the gigabit switched lan OFF the internet, the 9 can move data in a big hurry (after i hacked up winxp , that is), while those puters onthe router gets data slowly14:29
ybityeah, i don't have that14:30
ybiti'll trade you though14:30
katsmeow-afkheh14:30
katsmeow-afki have wgets running on all the puters on the router, other stuff on the 9 behind the switch14:31
katsmeow-afkwhat i have done is try to ensure no wget is actually hitting the net at the same time as others14:32
ybitkatsmeow-afk: check out google.com/trends and narrow results to alabama, one of the first things you will notice is that there isn't enough search volume for 'intelligence' in alabama  for it to give results :P14:35
katsmeow-afkit takes intelligence to know intelligence, and there isn't any in Alabama, but we have known that a loooong time, haven't we?14:36
katsmeow-afkooo, a Vic20 for $1414:36

ybitbut there's plenty for sports and whatnot, my city ranks at #3 for queries on ubuntu and linux, #2 for twitter, #4 for facebook, #3 for apartment(s) surprisingly since there is huntsville, tuscaloosa, auburn, birmingham, and gulf shores. it would almost be interesting to throw a dictionary at it and chart the results, e.g. we are #3 in searches for devil, #4 for death #6 for jesus, so that tells you a little bit about the area. we are #1 for movie(s) #1 14:42
katsmeow-afkyou got truncated14:44
katsmeow-afk we are #1 for movie(s) #1 ____________________14:44
ybitsuperkuh: if i'm hitting your server too hard, let me know, i can reduce the bandWIDTH14:44
ybit#1 for conan, nowhere on the charts for some phrases like rocket(s). alabama doesn't have enough search quueries for terms like nanotechnology, open  source, robotics. we are #4 for marijuana and #5 for pot14:44
ybitkatsmeow-afk: ^14:44
katsmeow-afkirc truncates ~450 chars, depending on channelname length and your nick lengths and phase of the moon14:45
* ybit did not know this14:45
katsmeow-afkseriously?14:45
ybita decent irc client should prevent you from worrying about it14:46
ybiti.e. it should break the message up 14:46
ybit..before sending14:46
katsmeow-afkthe client would haveto rearrange your input then, to multiple irc transmissions, that's sorta like interferring14:46
ybiti wouldn't mind14:46
ybiti think that's the way konversation works14:47
fennyour client is stupid14:47
katsmeow-afkdepends on what words got broken off the sentence and OOC'd14:48
fennmine stops typing before it cuts off14:48
ybitfenn: i'm using irssi :P14:48
ybit..and weechat14:48
fennme too; you must have broken it14:48
ybithaha, doubt it, perhaps the ubuntu package maintainers did though :)14:49
ybitif you're using a long-distance (or i guess even a short-distance) wide-area laser sensor, how might you determine where the object being detected is located?14:55
katsmeow-afkmeasure where it's pointed and transit time14:56
katsmeow-afkdo maths14:56
ybitduh14:56
ybitthanks :)14:56
katsmeow-afki didn't understand the question?14:56
ybiti've yet to find a long-distance laser sensor that i would consider long distance14:57
ybitthey're all roughly 1000mm14:57
katsmeow-afkcheck .mil sites14:57
fenn1000mm or 1000m?14:58
fennkeyword is 'laser range finder' or 'lidar'14:58
ybithttp://www.keyence.com.sg/products/sensors/laser/lvh42/lvh42.php 1000mm14:59
katsmeow-afkwell, that's 16bit accuracy too15:00
fennthats industrial control crap15:01
fennfor watching cookie dough height or whatever15:02
fennmmm cookie dough15:02
* fenn drools15:02
ybitthe idea is to control the skies above your lot, you can measure an objects projected path with multiple sensor layers, but i just don't see any which have a decent range15:06
katsmeow-afkwhy use laser, and not cameras?15:06
ybithigher accuracy15:07
katsmeow-afkzoom lens, triangulation15:07
ybiti thnk you got me there15:08
katsmeow-afkmy lot's corner distances are 800, 820, 1200 feet, wide area for accuracy, pisses me off that the #$%&#% neighbor and his gods stopped me from DOING it for 10 yrs15:08
katsmeow-afki even ran a steel beam down from the roof centerline steel beam to the footer for catapult launches off the roof deck (the open slot in the roof profile is 30ft off the ground too)15:10
katsmeow-afki wanted to use the air space above me, it's tween the Bham and local airport atc zones, it's not covered by restrictive faa rules like approach zones15:12
* katsmeow-afk points sadly to the twin single piston baby gas engines she got just for uav15:12
katsmeow-afki dunno which part of this is scarier:15:27
katsmeow-afkAt least three US oil companies were the target of a series of previously undisclosed cyberattacks that ...  focused on one of the crown jewels of the industry: valuable "bid data" detailing the quantity, value, and location of oil discoveries worldwide, ...  which occurred in 2008, until the FBI alerted them 15:27
katsmeow-afk... Federal officials told the companies proprietary information had been flowing out... included e-mail passwords, messages, and other information tied to executives with access to proprietary exploration and discovery information15:27

katsmeow-afkdo we know Ireton ?16:31
katsmeow-afkthe restrictions listed in the box on http://www.lifewater.ca/Appendix_K.htm are false, every one of those can be gotten around16:34
katsmeow-afkeasily16:34
katsmeow-afk"Galvanized rod is commonly used for the pump rod. Reinforced steel can be used but it is likely to rust." wtf is "reinforced steel" ?16:35
katsmeow-afk"The wood bearing works best if it is first soaked with oil" oil? in a rural area wher the yearly income is $1? hell, lube it with tallow, animal fats16:36
katsmeow-afkidiots16:37
katsmeow-afk"The best solution to the water problem is the same one you benefit from every day: chlorination." can you say "cloramines" ? what about ozone as a disinfectant? or using the thermal sun power directly and simply boil the water?16:39
fennwell this is interesting. lifeboat.com wants me on their scientific advisory board16:39
fennsome pretty awesome people on this list: http://lifeboat.com/ex/boards16:39
* katsmeow-afk sighs16:40
katsmeow-afki am building an *actual* boat because of humans, lifeboat.com has even less impact on my life16:41
* fenn is disappointed to see no "zombie apocalypse" working group16:42
katsmeow-afkyou pretty much haveto buy clorine, but if you have electricity you can make ozone anywhere16:44
fenndon't even need "electricity" per se16:46
katsmeow-afkit's handy tho16:46
fennhow does ozone do against parasitic cysts?16:47
katsmeow-afkpumps to move the ozone, etc16:47
katsmeow-afknot much gets to cysts, evaporation works tho16:47
fennhmm google says it works well on giardia16:47
katsmeow-afkin super doses?16:48
katsmeow-afkah, kool16:48
fennso katsmeow-afk  are you going to be eating fish every day or do you plan to stop in at ports and buy food?16:49
katsmeow-afkbuy, grow, whichever works best per item16:50

fennbecause tap water is pretty cheap16:50
katsmeow-afkso is dirty tap water16:50
fennmeaning what?16:50
katsmeow-afkmeaning you don't know if the water you just bought is bad till you have a tank contaminated by it16:51
fennhm ok16:51
fenni guess your water supply could have other stuff in it too, like PCB's or heavy metals16:51
fennhow would you know?16:52
katsmeow-afkthings like red tides do bother me, because the water could be deadly and be untestable, same for diseases in some localised fish popul;ations16:52
katsmeow-afkevaporation leaves metals, cysts, etc behind16:52
fennPCB's and pesticides co-distill (unless you use a fractionation column)16:53
katsmeow-afkand evaporated water before it hits the filters will prolong the life of reverse osmosis systems16:53
kanzurefenn: lifeboat.com wants everyone and their dog on their "advisory" board16:53
katsmeow-afkthat is, the less contaminants the reverse osmosis sytems haveto deal with, the longer they last16:54
kanzurebut it never hurts to say you're on a board with xyz16:54
fennkanzure: well there's a high proportion people i've heard of and don't suck16:54

kanzurehello thesnark21:59
thesnarkhey kanzure21:59
kanzureanything new?21:59
thesnarkyeah, we bought the emotiv for hardware21:59
kanzureew21:59
kanzurewhy21:59
thesnarkbecause it's a matter of rewriting firmware instead of developing a whole system21:59
kanzurehow's it doing?21:59
kanzurehow many channels?22:00
thesnarkwell we ordered it today22:00
thesnark1622:00
kanzureah22:00
thesnarkbut it turns out22:00
thesnarkthe reason the emotiv is a pos right now is because the devs locked the ability to get raw data from the device22:00
kanzurehm22:00
thesnarkbut if we rewrite firmware for this one chip22:00
thesnarkwe can get raw data from it22:00
thesnarkwe already have the programmer and SDK for the chip22:01
thesnarkfyi "mouse emulator" is an emotiv app22:01
kanzurePIC? AVR?22:01
thesnarkit's a pic22:01
thesnarkso I don't think focussing on one screen with the eeg should even necessarily be difficult22:02
thesnarkI think it will be very doable22:02

superkuhhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2477708/ - "Effects of Cobalt-60 Exposure on Health of Taiwan Residents..." - "cancer mortality rate of the exposed population is only about 3 percent of the cancer mortality rate of the general public"22:57
katsmeow-afk"honey, did you volunteer us for that study?"22:58
superkuh~10k sample size with no volunteers. Cobalt-60 was "serendipitous"ly mixed into recycled steel and made into 180 buildings.23:01

katsmeow-afklike the uranium sold with scrap steel in he usa a few decades back23:02
katsmeow-afkso was there increased medical cost associated with 3% increase in cancer deaths?23:03

superkuhkatsmeow-afk: No. It was a 97% decrease in cancer deaths in the irradiated population. I feel kind of foolish now though because there was a second study that invalidated the results.23:11
superkuhhttp://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~db=all?content=10.1080/0955300060108598023:12
katsmeow-afkwait,, working in an irradiated building lowered the rate of cancer deaths by 97% ?23:14
katsmeow-afk[23:11] <superkuh> katsmeow-afk: No. It was a 97% decrease in cancer deaths in the irradiated population. <<== i do not see this in the abstract23:15
superkuhRead the abstract of the faulty paper again. You misread it.23:17
superkuh"On the contrary, the incidence of cancer deaths in this population was greatly reduced—to about 3 per cent of the incidence of spontaneous cancer death in the general Taiwan public."23:18
katsmeow-afkwe are seeing different pages, ding a word search on the page, the word "contrary" isn't present, and the word "on" appears only in the phrase "On the other hand,"23:21
superkuhThen you are looking at the second link? That is of the paper that pointed out the bad controls for age in the first paper and found the above discussed effect doesn't exist.23:24
katsmeow-afkoh23:25
superkuhSorry for the confusion. I shouldn't have posted the first link before I finished reading.23:26
