@kanzurehttp://www.debian.org/vote/2013/platforms/lucas10:25
@kanzurehmm http://udd.debian.org/10:25
@kanzure" wrote a packaging tutorial (packaging-tutorial package) to provide a more accessible documentation for prospective maintainers. I used it to teach Debian packaging on a few occasions, and it has been translated into French, German and Spanish. It is also a nice way to advocate good practices, such as packaging with dh (slide 26), or first steps to get involved in Debian (get involved in teams / adopt existing packages, but not package more ...10:25
@kanzure... useless software when better alternatives already exist in Debian; slide 42)"10:25
@kanzurehm "Also, I see two ways to work against the shortage of reviewing manpower: (1) finally create personal packages archives, so that waiting for reviews becomes slightly less painful; (2) ask non-DD to review packages in a social website manner (that's also a very nice way to learn)."10:27
@kanzure"We should continue to push for collaborative and team maintenance. We should also consider reducing package ownership. While having maintainers that feel very responsible about packages (and are often real experts of those packages) is an important strength of Debian, maintainers should think in terms of packages I currently take care of inside Debian rather than packages I own inside Debian."10:27
@kanzurehttp://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/blog/?p=746 "Half of the package maintainers are not DDs or DMs" i think this is to be expected though10:31
@kanzurehttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155054.msg1643833 "For those who don't know me, I'm Hal Finney. I got my start in crypto working on an early version of PGP, working closely with Phil Zimmermann. When Phil decided to start PGP Corporation, I was one of the first hires. I would work on PGP until my retirement. At the same time, I got involved with the Cypherpunks. I ran the first cryptographically based anonymous remailer, among other ...10:44
@kanzure... activities."10:44
@kanzure"When Satoshi announced the first release of the software, I grabbed it right away. I think I was the first person besides Satoshi to run bitcoin. I mined block 70-something, and I was the recipient of the first bitcoin transaction, when Satoshi sent ten coins to me as a test. I carried on an email conversation with Satoshi over the next few days, mostly me reporting bugs and him fixing them."10:44
@kanzurehuh i didn't know hal had that sort of involvement10:44
@kanzure"Speaking of heirs, I got a surprise in 2009, when I was suddenly diagnosed with a fatal disease. .. My body began to fail. I slurred my speech, lost strength in my hands, and my legs were slow to recover. In August, 2009, I was given the diagnosis of ALS, also called Lou Gehrig's disease, after the famous baseball player who got it. Today, I am essentially paralyzed. I am fed through a tube, and my breathing is assisted through another tube. ...10:46
@kanzure... I operate the computer using a commercial eyetracker system. It also has a speech synthesizer, so this is my voice now. I spend all day in my power wheelchair. I worked up an interface using an arduino so that I can adjust my wheelchair's position using my eyes."10:46
balroghas anyone got anywhere with DIY SEM/FIB stuff?10:47
@kanzurethere's been some small projects on that front but nobody has stuck around long enough to "see it through" (i.e. most people seem to just release a few test images and then die)10:48
balroghrm I see :/10:48
@kanzureer also i mean just SEM i haven't seen anyone doing DIY FIB stuff.10:48
balrogFIB is more useful10:48
@kanzurei think nmz787 has recently been poking at FIB things so maybe bug him10:48
@kanzurewow i seem to have some 2009 emails from hal when he announced his diagnosis10:49

@kanzureif the supreme court rules in favor of human gene patents, then we should organize a ncbi.nih.gov downloading/backup/mirroring party17:31
superkuhInform the archive team. They have software infrastructure.17:34
superkuh(in addition)17:34
@kanzureoh good point, they would probably be interested17:34
@kanzureerm i mean ncbi.nlm.nih.gov17:35
@kanzurethere's a lot of data on their servers. i'm not sure which parts should be selected for priority mirroring.17:37
@kanzuredefinitely genebank17:37
@kanzure*genbank17:38
@kanzure"GenBank ® is the NIH genetic sequence database, an annotated collection of all publicly available DNA sequences (Nucleic Acids Research, 2013 Jan;41(D1):D36-42).  GenBank is part of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration , which comprises the DNA DataBank of Japan (DDBJ), the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), and GenBank at NCBI. These three organizations exchange data on a daily basis."17:38
@kanzure"The GenBank database is designed to provide and encourage access within the scientific community to the most up to date and comprehensive DNA sequence information. Therefore, NCBI places no restrictions on the use or distribution of the GenBank data. However, some submitters may claim patent, copyright, or other intellectual property rights in all or a portion of the data they have submitted. NCBI is not in a position to assess the validity ...17:38
@kanzure... of such claims, and therefore cannot provide comment or unrestricted permission concerning the use, copying, or distribution of the information contained in GenBank."17:38
ParahSail1ncoy didnt gimme any reads :(17:39
ParahSail1ncory17:39
@fennyou can't patent data17:39
@kanzurethat's not true, in many cases you can sneak data into patents17:40
@kanzureand in many cases you can successfully defend your patent in future litigation17:41
@kanzure"Therefore, NCBI itself places no restrictions on the use or distribution of the data contained therein. Nor do we accept data when the submitter has requested restrictions on reuse or redistribution." well that's nice.17:42
@kanzurei wonder how frequent that is.. how many of the submissions to ncbi are encumbered by third party claims?17:43
@kanzuresince it's not recorded in ncbi, it seems a little difficult to collect this data.17:43
@kanzureactually, wtf ncbi17:46
@kanzurethis means that none of this data is explicitly-permissively licensed17:46
rigelthe government is not going to make claims or even aggressively advocate for anything17:57
rigelthey still allow CPT codes to be incorporated-by-reference as a required standard for payment by CMS17:58
rigelwhen that is claimed as a copyrighted system17:58
rigel(even though it might not actually be copyrightable given the case law on the subject17:59
rigelthis is why interoperability efforts for EMR/EHRs will fail17:59
@kanzurei am not sufficiently indoctrinated into medschoolspeak18:01

rigeli only started going down the rabbit hole because of some conversations with an OpenEMR developer18:04
rigelbut the standards, terms, etc, that shit is important18:04
rigelrelevant caselaw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feist_v._Rural18:05
juri_uh oh.18:06
juri_the varying coding systems being copyrighted is quite annoying.18:08
rigelwell, ICD-9 and 10 are freely lcensable iirc18:09
juri_that doesn't make them easy to ship with open source softwares.18:09
rigelCPT require licensing for software vendors who want to produce, say, a system that is meaningful use compliant18:09
rigelyep18:09
rigelso basically, the AMA makes a ton of money on EMRs and EHRs because from what i'm told, they charge a per-seat license for the coding system, regardless of how many users actually need to interact with the billing system18:11
rigelincidentally, "publications" (presumably, things like CPT licensing as well) make up like 60% of the AMA's revenue18:12
rigelthey make another, smaller buttload of cash by selling physicians' info to marketing middlement like IMS health, which allows pharma reps to track prescribing data on individual physicians, to see who can be influenced by this or that marketing scheme18:13

@kanzureall the time. there's a lot of them that are banned.20:42
@kanzure"Myriad's genes were originally invalidated by a trial court judge in 2010. But his ruling was overturned on appeal in a 2-1 vote. The appeals court majority held that the process of removing DNA from the body and isolating a BRCA gene from the rest of a patient's genetic material effectively creates a new "composition of matter" that is eligible for patent protection."20:42
@kanzure""Although isolated DNA is removed from its native cellular and chromosomal environment, it has also been manipulated chemically so as to produce a molecule that is markedly different from that which exists in the body," wrote Judge Alan Lourie for the court's majority. In his view, that difference was sufficient to merit a patent for Myriad."20:43

@kanzurefenn: it seems there was a 1790 and 1793 "patent act" passed in congress that outlines the patent system better than the joke in the constitution.20:51
@kanzurewhaat "In 1832 a new act expanded the category of potential patentees to cover all resident aliens who had declared an intention to become citizens of the United States, provided however, that any patents granted to the class of patentee become void if they did not work the invention publicly in the United States within one year of grant."20:52
@kanzure"In 1930, the Plant Patent Act provided for the possibility of patent protection for asexually reproduced plants."20:57
@kanzure"1984: Possibility of extending patent term to compensate for delay in securing marketing authority from FDA to sell new drugs for humans. (Waxman Hatch Amendments) [44] 35 USC 156"21:00
@kanzure"Protection from finding of obviousness over work of co-employees etc. 35 USC 103 (c)." hmm21:00

rigeliirc, the current patent protection for e.g. varieties of biological organisms, is derived from a case having to do with roses21:06
strangewarpA little fiction outlining my prediction: "There is nothing in the Constitution preventing gene patents," Justice Scalia wrote of the decision, echoing the theme running through his rulings on net neutrality, global warming, and gay marriage[...]21:07
rigeli actually went to the most recent federal court hearings this summer on the myriad case when it was re-heard in light of a SCOTUS decision on....shit, cant remember21:09
rigelit was remanded because of some other case that was at least marginally sane21:09
@kanzurerigel: was it Mayo v. Prometheus?21:17
@kanzurethat was the one about diagnostic tests or something21:17

@kanzurealthough i'm pretty sure these anecdotes were released earlier (about bezos mandating all teams to only communicate with each other over the network)22:09
@kanzure"if you have hundreds of services, and your code MUST communicate with other groups' code via these services, then you won't be able to find any of them without a service-discovery mechanism. And you can't have that without a service registration mechanism, which itself is another service. So Amazon has a universal service registry where you can find out reflectively (programmatically) about every service, what its APIs are, and also whether ...22:10
@kanzure... it is currently up, and where."22:11
@kanzuredoes that mean wsdl/uddi? surely they are using something more sane?22:11
