UtopiahCouchSurfing?07:31
chido..guys who let you sleep on their couch afterwards?07:31
nmz787kanzure asked if there were any projects/apps that could help with roadtrips... and i can generally find free places to sleep, but its not as easy as using google maps is... i.e. i have to look at the maps, find green areas (camping, govt land) and then look for things like mountains/hills (wind break)07:32
@kanzurehuh? i thought you were the one who asked that07:32
@kanzureso confused07:33
nmz787me?07:33
@kanzureyeah07:33
nmz787before i left for california you asked if there were any tools that were lacking for roadtripping07:33
nmz787you specifically asked about traffic near big cities07:33
@kanzurei see. well, triplr should have a list of free places to stay anyway.07:33
nmz787but i think a more important/worse problem is finding places to sleep for free07:34
nmz787http://triplr.org/07:34
nmz787??07:34
atumalways sleep at walmart for free07:34
atumnational forest07:34
atumfind a squat somewhere07:35
atumsleeping under bridges is quite nice07:35
atumif you find the right one07:35
nmz787right, so a nice addon/layover to google maps is something that finds that stuff for you07:36
@kanzurelike, say.. padmapper?07:36
nmz787for instance i drove from SF to NY in 3 days, slept twice along the way... once on BLM (govt) land, and once in a rest area in the car07:36
atumblm can be nice too07:37
nmz787if it would have known i only wanted to sleep twice along the way, it would have divided the 45 hour trip by 3, then looked for 2 places along way07:37
atumdamn07:37
atumit takes me 3 days to drive across texas07:38
nmz787assuming that the last night was at home, etc07:38
nmz787hah07:38
atumbut im in no hurry07:38
nmz787west texas the speed limit is pretty high07:38
atumand i only drive while the suns out07:38
atumso i can kick back at night and relax07:38
nmz787last year i did that drive, along route 8 or 10 with no A/C07:38
nmz787it really sucked07:38

@kanzure"Instead, despite more than a trillion dollars spent fighting the war, according to the UNODC, illegal drugs are used by an estimated 270 million people and organised crime profits from a trade with an estimated turnover of over $330 billion a year – the world’s largest illegal commodity market"07:40

@kanzure"A bit more detail further in the report: "The UNODC estimates, conservatively, that between 155 and 270 million people worldwide, or 3.5% to 5.7% of 15-64-year¬olds, used illicit substances at least once in the last year. Global lifetime usage figures probably approach one billion""07:40

@kanzure"The Special Issue on Mind Uploading (Vol. 4, issue 1, June 2012) of the International Journal of Machine Consciousness, just released, “constitutes a significant milestone in the history of mind uploading research: the first-ever collection of scientific and philosophical papers on the theme of mind uploading"08:14
@kanzurewhat? there has been no other brain scanning paper collection?08:14
@kanzurewell, i guess it's a journal of "consciousness" so it's probably useless08:15
nmz787"Preliminary tests revealed the Tifton 85 grass, which has been here for years, had suddenly started producing cyanide gas, poisoning the cattle."08:15
nmz787wtf08:15
@kanzureyeah, the cyanide thing is weird08:16
nmz787"CORRECTION: As originally published, this story referred to Tifton 85 grass as a genetically-modified product, which is incorrect; it is actually a hybrid of Bermuda grass."08:16
nmz787"An official at the Department of Agriculture told CBS News that there are currently no genetically modified grasses on the market or bring grown for public use or consumption."08:17

@kanzure"Another engineered oncolytic virus nearing clinical approval is OncoVEX, developed by Massachusetts-based biotech BioVex, which last year partnered with Amgen in a deal that could be worth $1 billion. The drug, named last year as one of FierceBiotech’s 10 promising late-stage cancer drugs, is a special strain of the Herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1) virus that carries an immune-boosting component."08:18

nmz787does that require IVF to first get enough cells in-vitro to remove some for sequencing??08:25
nmz787if so I guess that's outside of my reach for some years08:26
nmz787i'd rather just keep trying for non-genetically-damaged kids08:26
nmz787(apparently damaged)08:26
@kanzureother interesting stat: i heard the other day that something like 60 million pregnancies have been due to IVF?08:26

@kanzure"This year's theme is Radical Openness, so of course we had to be part of it. We had dinner in a real castle last night, so we're all prepared for Ellen's TED talk on DIYbio and worldwide community labs during the "Tinker Make Do" session this afternoon, and the Genspace booth where we will have the TEDsters extract and test their DNA, and transform E. coli with pBLU. And the DNA cocktails we're making with strawberries will probably be a hit too. 08:28
nmz787ya08:28
nmz787wouldnt they need that GMO licencse if they're in the EU?08:29
@kanzurei think ecoli might be the one exception (depending on their country)08:29
chidokanzure: 60 million? you mean ever since IVF has been put to use or what?08:29
nmz787thats like 1 percent08:29
nmz787THE 1%!!!!08:30
@kanzurechido: i found it hard to believe08:30
chidoI'm curious about the timeframe it refers to08:30
nmz787well that also doesn't mean they were succesful08:30
chidohow many there are per year per country would be an interesting statistic08:30
chidoincluding success rate08:30
@kanzurehmmm where did i read this number from08:31
@kanzure"n the US, ART cycles started in 2006 resulted in 41,343 births (54,656 infants), which is slightly more than 1% of total US births."08:31
@kanzure*In the08:31
@kanzure"Robert Edwards was awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for the development of in vitro fertilization".[68] Carl Wood was dubbed "the father of IVF (in vitro fertilisation)" for having pioneered the use of frozen embryos.[69]"08:32
chidono data on Europe I presume08:32
@kanzure"Israel has the highest world incidence of IVF, with 1657 procedures performed per million people per year. The second highest rate is in Iceland, with 899 procedures per million people per year. In the USA 126 procedures are performed per million people per year. Israel provides unlimited free in vitro procedures for its citizens for up to two children per woman under 45 years of age."08:32
chidoI don't think 1% is low08:32
chidooh that's interesting08:33
chidocost seems to be factor08:33
nmz787whoa08:34
nmz787i wonder if israel does testing too08:34
nmz787sounds like a good time to visit israel08:34
nmz787!08:34
nmz787:D08:34
chido3 years in the army, I guess there has to be some perks08:35
@kanzureoh i see, this other article says only 3 million ivf babies since 197808:35
@kanzure(as of 2006)08:35
@kanzure"This year's data, from the International Committee for Monitoring Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ICMART), includes reports from 52 countries, and covers almost 600,000 IVF cycles and 122,000 newborn babies. "08:36

@kanzure"It has a wood laser cut box, and the block is milled out of a 1X3X3" block of aluminum, cooling is via a simple PC fan, heating is by resistors powered through an SSR with 120V AC so there's no bulky/expensive power supply needed."09:27

@kanzureit's the same thing for bio grads10:27

nmz787well i didnt come to biotech school to be a biotech bitch10:27
@kanzureright10:27
nmz787so toss that10:27
yashgarothit's...slightly more than minimum wage10:28
nmz787long summer camp was how i went into it10:28
@kanzureyashgaroth: $7.25/hour vs. 11.25/hour isn't a big deal to me10:28
@kanzurenmz787: i'm not saying you should be a lab bitch. i'm just saying that nobody else wants to either. so if you come up with something else, you can have your pick of who you want to work with.10:28
@kanzuree.g. maybe the actual price for a biotech bitch is really $200/hour, not $12.85/hour10:29
@kanzurehow would you get to that point?10:29
ThomasEgiselling a product/service that does not exist yet but people are desperate to get hands on.10:29
@kanzuremaybe.10:30
@kanzurei'm a little surprised that there's no biotech bitch union10:30
@kanzurei wonder if researchers have unionized in any of the socialist countries10:30
@kanzurei don't see anything in the search results.10:32
yashgarothI doubt it10:33
@kanzurehttp://www.ileu.org/ "The Independent Laboratory Employees Union is a small, independent, labor union. We represent the FLSA covered workers at the ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Co., located in Annandale, NJ."10:33
@kanzure"“We’ve offered Lab workers 8.5% over three years with a pay scale from $45,000 to $56,000 for entry level scientists – experienced staff will earn considerably more. In addition, they will get automatic annual increments that average around 2% a year. What we’re asking for in return is some rostering flexibility."10:34
@kanzurebut this seems to be a medical lab-related union in new zealand.10:34

@kanzurelet's get all scientists to strike until elsevier converts all their issues to open access?10:38
@kanzurei mean, that will just mean that NIH would give grants to whoever submits grants.. which will probably be everyone, because they would think nobody else is submitting10:39

@kanzurewhat a peculiar wikipedia article12:04
@kanzurehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_investigation#The_New_Science_of_Post-Flashover_Burning12:04
@kanzure"These investigators set up two rooms, simple 12 by 14 foot bedrooms, set each of them on fire, and allowed them to burn for about two minutes after they flashed over. They then asked 53 participants in a Las Vegas IAAI-sponsored fire investigation seminar to walk through the burned compartments and to write down the quadrant in which they believed the fire had originated."12:04
@kanzure"In the first compartment, three participants identified the correct quadrant. When the exercise was repeated on the second compartment, three different participants identified the correct quadrant."12:04
@kanzure"These results caused much consternation, particularly as ATF agents began presenting the results to groups of investigators. The bottom line was “The “old-days” of locating the point of origin of a post-flashover fire by relying on the “lowest burn and deepest char” are OVER![12]"12:04
@kanzure"When word of the ATF experiments reached the fire investigation community, people began to examine the data more closely, because an error rate over 90% was simply unimaginable! In fact, the poor results should have surprised nobody. Carman reports that in the undocumented tests at Glynnco, the success rate was 8 to 10%.[13"12:04

yashgarothright but like experience levels, education etc13:24
wizzrobein what way  are we impeded from  DIY-BIO   because of  bizarre restrictions on ordering lab equipment through the mail?13:25
browniesnmz787: how many papers have you published13:25
brownieskanzure and i DEMAND ANSWERS13:25
@kanzurehaha13:25
@kanzurewizzrobe: if you are impeded in that manner, then you should just build the equipment yourself (fuck the mail)13:25
yashgarothwizzrobe: not so much equipment as reagents13:25
@kanzureyashgaroth: my point is that, it's not well illustrated that all these biotech jobs are low paying13:26
yashgarothoh they're not always...entry level with a BS is 40k+, entry level postdoc is 8013:26
yashgarotherr, post-postdoc13:26
yashgaroththat's industry though, academic is at least a third less13:27
nmz787brownies: none in journals13:27
@kanzurepostdoc is 4 years BS, 3-5 years PhD, 2-4 years postdoc, right?13:27
yashgarothapproximately, yeah13:28
browniesPhD in 3 years? good god13:28
yashgarothif you're not a fan of sleep, sure13:28
@kanzurethat's the "hooray my experiments worked the first time" version13:28
nmz787i was makin almost 40k at that electrical engi company i was talking about earlier13:28
nmz7872 years ago13:28
nmz787and i coulda kept workin there, except i "had to" go back to school13:29

@kanzurenmz787: i was trying to use you as an example to brownies about the state of low-paying biotech jobs13:31
@kanzureso he's asking what sorta offers you've received or how many interviews13:31
@kanzurebut, on the other hand, all the merck job salaries i see listed are >$60k which is not what i expected (but i don't see degree requirements; for 10 years of education, $80k sounds crummy)13:31
browniesi'm sticking to my claim that PhD => 100k+ salary unless i see multiple data points showing a counterexample trend13:32

yashgarothsmall biotech also pays less because they can give you stock which maaaay be worth a lot of money13:34
nmz787offers?13:35
nmz787well i still have a job at a national lab here, as a student appointment13:35
nmz787no offers13:35
nmz787i haven't been job hunting too much though because i didn't know where i would end up13:35
@kanzureah13:35
nmz787and i figure i could just do this bioinformatics at $13/hour13:35
nmz787until i found one13:36
nmz787i had an interview here in manhattan at cornell med and they said the minimum they would pay was $34.6k or something13:36
nmz787sooo 2 years ago at the EE company i was already on par with that13:37
browniesahh, well, if you're at a national research lab or fancy academic institution or something, then there's some value to just having that brand on your resume13:37
browniespresumably it would let you publish more papers and such things13:37
yashgaroth35k in manhattan? that seems really low13:37
@kanzuremanhattan is supposed to have *higher* salaries13:37
nmz787the only job offer i've had this year was from a car mechanic when i took my car there and was telling him the problem and the recent work i did to it13:37
brownies...yeah, you don't want to live in manhattan making 35k.13:37
nmz787i've seen tons of craiglist bio jobs offering $28k13:38
@kanzurewhat.. 28?13:38
nmz787thats rent and ramen13:38
yashgarothfor dishwashing maybe13:38
nmz787nop13:38
@kanzurenot dishwashing? then what?13:38
browniesmaybe you should not look for bioengineering jobs on craigslist -_-13:38
@kanzureshow me a link13:38
nmz787for PCR, nucleic extractions13:38
browniesfor manual labor, basically?13:38
yashgarothehh most jobs get posted on CL, but I'd recommend biospace13:38
@kanzurebrownies: highly trained manual labor ;)13:39
nmz787what else is most of biotech other than labor??13:39
browniesresearch. science. inventing things.13:39
nmz787if you're not a PhD in most biotech, you're not supposed to think too much13:39
yashgarothnot always true, but almost always13:39
browniesi wandered into a biotech lab as a college freshman and all they told me was "invent a solution to this, see you in 3 months"13:39
brownies^ granted, that was a horrible experience, since i had no idea what i was doing.13:39
@kanzurewas that your test to see if they wanted to let you join their lab?13:39
yashgarothlike, a programming solution?13:39
nmz787sure, that was in your school13:39
browniesit was a summer research thing13:40
browniesno, it was for a lab in the same town as my school13:40
nmz787it wasn't their money13:40
browniesprivate outfit though13:40
nmz787oh13:40
nmz787maybe it was their money13:40
browniesanyway, point is (among other points...) that job never made it to craigslist13:40
nmz787sure, neither did the sweet job at the EE company13:41
nmz787actually, all the jobs i've had in the last 6-8 years have been through networking13:41
browniesyashgaroth: it took me like a month of reading to find out they had given me a well-known unsolved problem in fluid mechanics and drug coating. those bastards.13:41
nmz787i got the national lab job by posting to DIYBIO google group13:42
yashgarothhaha13:42
nmz787ok g2g, will check logs in an hour or so13:42
yashgarothagain I'd recommend biospace.com for job listings13:43
@kanzurejust think union13:43
yashgarothalso send your resume into the big recruiting agencies13:43
brownieshaha13:43
@kanzurewell let's see.. how many bio undergrads finish each year? 2000 per college? let's say 100 colleges. so 200,000 additional workers per year that could potentially go into biotech jobs.13:45
@kanzure(not all do, obviously)13:45
@kanzurei guess that's only a few billion dollars in salaries, i think the biotech industry could support that13:45

@kanzurebut all their links are .aspx... so, iis15:51
yashgarothfuck man I dunno15:51
@kanzureit's a microsoft server product15:51
nmz787ah15:52
nmz787sounds like something some scientists would use bc they dont know better15:52
Mokbortolan_uhh15:54
Mokbortolan_what's wrong with IIS again?15:54
nmz787kanzure: says its microsoft15:56
nmz787which is enough for me to bash it without knowing much else15:56
Mokbortolan_ahh, yeah15:56
Mokbortolan_it's a tool to do a job15:57
Mokbortolan_silly OS tribalism is silly15:57
nmz787lol15:58
nmz787i use windows now just cuz it has all the tablet pc features and onenote (notebook software)15:59
yashgarothI use it because vidjagames15:59
nmz787gaymz15:59
yashgaroth*15:59
@kanzureMokbortolan_: you don't get to talk because you're a microsoft monkey :P16:00
nmz787so you get through any interviews yet yashgaroth?16:00
nmz787Mokbortolan_: are you a portlander?16:00
@kanzureyes16:00
yashgarothhad 3 or 4, got another next week16:00
@kanzureMokbortolan_: i think stackoverflow is executed pretty well on iis. but iis + ads + all these other indicators => might give you more clues about who makes this site and how to judge its quality.16:02
Mokbortolan_nmz787: I am indeed16:05
nmz787oh cool16:05
Mokbortolan_yeah, I think IIS should really only be used when you absolutely have to use it :p16:05

nmz787my gf is interviewing on phone with intel in hillsboro right now16:05
nmz787so we might end up out there16:05
Mokbortolan_that is, if you are forced to use activex, VB.net, AD integration, or other such stuffs16:06
Mokbortolan_nice!16:06
Mokbortolan_well, Portland is awesome16:06
Mokbortolan_Hillsboro is.... kind of boring.16:06
Mokbortolan_and the commute is crap between the two unless you take the max, then it's just long.16:06
nmz787is hillsboro, hilly?16:07
Mokbortolan_not really16:07
nmz787:(16:07
Mokbortolan_it's past a big hill16:07
nmz787i like hills16:07
Mokbortolan_there are some sloping hills16:07
nmz787yeah i dunno where we'd live16:07
Mokbortolan_but the hilly bits are between portland and hillsboring16:07
Mokbortolan_it depends, how rich are you ?:p16:08
nmz787umm16:08
nmz787not16:08
Mokbortolan_a 2bd 1ba in a semi-crummy neighborhood is costing us $120016:08
Mokbortolan_we just moved out of an 800sqft 2bd1ba apartment that was $80016:09
Mokbortolan_we're on east side, near Powell and 60th now, the apartment was at 20th and Burnside16:09
nmz787hmm16:09
Mokbortolan_that's Portland, of course16:09
nmz787cheaper than nyc or sf16:09
Mokbortolan_NW portland is more trendy with bars and such, but very crowded16:09
Mokbortolan_oh yeah16:09
@kanzure845sqft 2bd2ba apartment $830/mo here.16:10
Mokbortolan_you can always live downtown, tha'ts fun16:10
@kanzure(you guys can start hating me now)16:10
nmz787so she thinks she did well, gonna hear back this week hopefully16:10
Mokbortolan_cool16:10
Mokbortolan_there's a guy in #reddit-portland who just got a job there16:10
nmz787if so she'll have an onsite on the fri 13th16:10
Mokbortolan_he moved up from somewherein Texas16:10
nmz787and i think i'll fly out with her16:11
nmz787so maybe we can meetup that weekend16:11
Mokbortolan_where are you guys now?16:11
nmz787nyc16:11
Mokbortolan_hehehe, it's a little slower than NYC, I think :p16:11
Mokbortolan_and we don't drive ANYTHING like new york drivers16:11
nmz787well, it took me an hour to drive 11 miles yesterday16:12
Mokbortolan_you know those guys who dart in and out and accelerate and brake rapidly?16:12
Mokbortolan_we don't do that16:12
nmz787so i'm not too thrilled with the 'liveliness'16:12
Mokbortolan_well, sometimes drivers from LA come up here and do that, but they get pulled over16:12
nmz787lol16:13
nmz787is it sunny or cloudy mostly?16:14
Mokbortolan_It depnds16:16
Mokbortolan_you get some sun and sky for a few weeks in the summer16:16
Mokbortolan_but the rest of the time it's overcast and drizzly16:17
yashgarothcoffee, alcohol and/or heroin are recommended until you get used to it16:17
Mokbortolan_the upshot is that the really hot weather (~95F) only lasts a week or two, same with the really cold weather16:17
nmz787oh16:17
nmz787damn16:17
nmz787i like sun16:17
Mokbortolan_now, Hillsboro is different16:17
nmz787wiki says its the most fertile valley in the world or something16:17
nmz787shit cant grow without that red and blue16:18
Mokbortolan_heheheh16:18
yashgaroththe light's there, it's just...diffuse16:18
Mokbortolan_I wouldn't invest in solar panels on my house in Portland, but I might in Hillsboro16:18
Mokbortolan_the beach is about 1.5hrs away16:18
Mokbortolan_and it's usually about 20F cooler16:19
Mokbortolan_it'll be 70F in the dead of summer16:19
nmz787hmm, sounds like SF16:19
Mokbortolan_hmm16:19
Mokbortolan_not like SF16:19
nmz787but without the eastbay or livermore (the latter being almost desert)16:19
Mokbortolan_the wind makes it pretty chilly sometimes16:20
Mokbortolan_very windy up here16:20
nmz787i was reading about chinook winds16:20
Mokbortolan_the air may be 70F, but when it's moving at 10mph, you won't feel like you're in SF16:20
nmz787going from like -54F to 45F in a minute or something (that was a record)16:20

paskyyou can look up the meaning in git(1)17:47

nmz787if you're an author you can provide a link from your site18:48
nmz787because you own some rights, or so I remember18:48

jmilok i guess we will do that18:49
jmilthx both of you18:49
jmilkanzure: i can send to you directly18:50
jmili want to wrap it up nicely into a single pdf (paper + supporting information)18:50
nmz787i think there are some linux tools to help with that18:51
@kanzurejmil: neat, i'd like that18:51
@kanzurealso schematics :318:51
jmilnaw...18:51
jmilschematics will go up on thingiverse :D18:51
jmili'm trying to time everything correctly but there's a lot to do to tell the story properly18:52
jmili make a big deal of the open source aspect of all things in the paper18:52
jmilany journalists that like that stuff?18:52
@kanzureyou should just write the article for them18:53
@kanzurethen send it to a few18:53
@kanzurei don't think thingiverse is a good idea18:54
@kanzurehow about github?18:54
@kanzurei think this is you http://github.com/jmil18:54
jmilya that's me18:54
jmili got my firmware up there already18:55
jmilmodified reprap firmware18:55
@kanzurehow about the models?18:55
jmilmodified reprap parts?18:55
@kanzureyeah18:55
@kanzureinstead of using thingiverse.18:55
jmili'd have to start a new repo but i don't plan to update them because i've already moved on to an aluminum extrusion design for the new printer i'm using daily now18:56
@kanzurethen you should include those revisions in the git repo :)18:56
@kanzurethat's what git is for18:56
jmilhttp://www.youtube.com/user/jrdnmlr18:56
jmilgithub complains the repo is too big18:56
jmilis gitorious any better?18:56
@kanzuregitorious.org is pretty lame, in my opinion18:57
@kanzurehow big is the repo? i can host it on diyhpl.us/cgit if necessary18:57
jmilwhat is better than github?18:57
@kanzurewell, i mean, i can provide more space on diyhpl.us than github allows you18:58
jmiloh cool, thanks. we can also host it on the server in lab, but i think a main git hub type place would be faster for people around the world since it gets mirrored out so far and wide by those guys18:58
jmilyou never know who will be interested18:58
@kanzurehow large is the repository?18:58
jmilkanzure: i guess a gig or something. i'm kinda a hoarder… so all my designs, even failed ones, i keep around in folders18:59
@kanzurei see18:59

jmili'm thinking the designs we used to collect the data for the paper are fair game19:06
jmilmy newer stuff is prolly off limits19:06
jmilit's really just a simple syringe extruder and a couple of mods to the reprap frame to accomodate it19:07
jmilthe secret sauce is what's coming out of the extruder19:07
jmilkanzure: u think i should try to sell the extruder?19:10
jmili think food people might be the first to want it19:10
jmilit does sugar and chocolate19:11
nmz787:)19:11
@kanzureweren't the fab@home people doing chocolate a few years ago?19:11
jmilit's heated, so it does REAL sugar and chocolate. not shitty icing like other people19:11
jmilroom temp. liquid chocolate is terrible tasting19:11
jmilit's not a good solid chocolate19:11
@kanzurei don't know who would buy one, but as long as it's still an open project i don't see any harm to selling kits/things19:12
