| abetusk | octopine, let me rephrase, I'd like to give it to my local hackerspace, as the cost isn't too high | 08:12 |
| ParahSailin | heh, they're interviewing a new php monkey | 08:14 |
| octopine | abetusk in Florida. Not sure how much it will cost to ship as I haven't weighed it. It's pretty heavy though | 08:15 |
| abetusk | octopine, you want to get back to me with an estimate? | 08:16 |

| jonathan__ | "Chipotle's genetically modified burritos - Chipotle becomes one of the first restaurant chains to admit they have genetically modified organisms in half of their dishes." ... soybean oil | 09:21 |
| brownies | isn't every organism on the planet genetically modified? | 09:27 |
| brownies | you know, because it evolves, and stuff? | 09:27 |
| ParahSailin | stop being pedantic, you know what they mean and so does everyone else | 09:29 |
| ParahSailin | its hard enough for one person to understand another without one being intentionally oblique | 09:30 |
| crw | genetically modified (by humans) organisms makes for a non-snazzy acronym. "GM(BH)O? that won't fit on my protest sign" | 09:31 |
| ParahSailin | GMO in the context of foods by convention and connotation means transgenic | 09:32 |
| crw | genetically modified, by humans, on purpose. definitely not snazzy. | 09:35 |
| jonathan__ | just call them zombie organisms | 10:07 |
| jonathan__ | ZO-soybean | 10:07 |
| jonathan__ | the public needs more hysteria. its the only way "pink slime" got finally taken down. | 10:08 |
| jonathan__ | before that anti-marketing frenzy, everyone was happy to eat the disgusting stuff | 10:08 |
| jonathan__ | chipotle's food is very unhealthy. however i applaud their new labeling campaign. | 10:09 |
| crw | i don't understand why pink slime isn't an animated character yet | 10:10 |
| ParahSailin | chipotle isnt one i'd single out as being particularly unhealthy | 10:11 |
| crw | give it a youtube show, packaged pink slime toys in happy meals | 10:11 |
| kanzure | yes, people modify foods on purpose on their own even without transgenic stuff | 10:11 |
| kanzure | i.e. intentional plant breeding | 10:11 |
| kanzure | the end is near! fuck off. | 10:11 |
| crw | :P | 10:11 |
| crw | what was it douglas adams said about civilization? | 10:12 |
| kanzure | who cares. he's dead and wrong. | 10:12 |
| jonathan__ | look at the nutritional comparison. chipotle is no more healthy than any other fast food. it only "looks" healthy. you have been deceived. | 10:12 |
| kanzure | nobody said it was healthy | 10:12 |
| kanzure | wtf | 10:12 |
| crw | i care, because he's funny :) | 10:12 |
| jonathan__ | " isnt one i'd single out as being particularly unhealthy" - double negative leading to doublespeak | 10:13 |
| ParahSailin | i havent seen their ingredient lists, but it seems like its mostly actual food there | 10:13 |
| jonathan__ | "isnt .... unhealthy" | 10:13 |
| crw | oh but it's a memory failure on my part. i had confused his quote re: civilization with his quote about the beginning of the universe | 10:13 |
| kanzure | "isn't unhealthy" doesn't mean "it's healthy". health is not quite like htat. | 10:13 |
| kanzure | *that | 10:13 |
| kanzure | crw: isn't it cliche to be quoting douglas adams by now? | 10:14 |
| jonathan__ | unhealthy <-> healthy is relative scale meansure | 10:14 |
| jonathan__ | lots of oil | 10:14 |
| kanzure | let's measure health impedance of chiptole with a giant oscilloscope | 10:14 |
| jonathan__ | of course no one can agree on definition of health so it's all meaningless | 10:14 |
| crw | kanzure: i'm old, give me some leeway :P | 10:14 |
| ParahSailin | other than wheat, the food there seems about like the sort of stuff i'd cook at home for myself | 10:14 |
| jonathan__ | you can't see the salt and oil that they add. its invisible | 10:15 |
| jonathan__ | oh but your body knows muahahaha | 10:15 |
| jonathan__ | sugar too | 10:15 |
| jonathan__ | dont forget extra cheese hmmm does a heart attack good | 10:16 |
| ParahSailin | i thought we buried the lipid hypothesis like a decade ago | 10:16 |
| jonathan__ | anyways it sure will be nicer when food is labelled and tested as gmo vs. evolved | 10:16 |
| ParahSailin | along with ancel keys | 10:17 |
| jonathan__ | just keep doing whatever it is you're doing. we'll analyze your autopsy when you eventually pass. | 10:18 |
| ParahSailin | ill stick to science that hasnt been discredited | 10:19 |
| kanzure | crw: are you done catching up on extropy-chat emails? | 10:20 |
| jonathan__ | oh you mean the science funded by the meat & dairy industry dont you. lol | 10:20 |
| jonathan__ | my own medical stats are proof enough for me. | 10:20 |
| crw | kanzure: aye | 10:21 |
| ParahSailin | did i just get into a bloodwork e-peen contest? | 10:21 |
| kanzure | crw: great, now catch up on science things, http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/longevity/ http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/bio/ http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/neuro/ http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/ | 10:21 |
| kanzure | ParahSailin: blood comparison as an olympic sport? | 10:22 |
| kanzure | ParahSailin: seems like only multiple samples over the span of a week would be worth looking at | 10:22 |
| jonathan__ | i only use blood for human sacrifice anyway | 10:22 |
| kanzure | maybe longer | 10:22 |
| ParahSailin | kanzure: gotta be realtime gcms on chip implanted | 10:22 |
| crw | kanzure: hah, well, i'm a programmer/engineer, not a scientist. but i'll try to put a dent in that stuff as well. | 10:22 |
| kanzure | crw: that's a lousy attitude :( | 10:22 |
| kanzure | crw: i am also a programmer, but that doesn't mean i shouldn't science | 10:23 |
| crw | kanzure: my current to-read queue is over 400 books long, i do the best i can :) | 10:23 |
| kanzure | ParahSailin: i'm not convinced that real-time would be interesting to look at for that sort of competition | 10:23 |
| kanzure | ParahSailin: what about a game of immune system tests, where we put two blood samples together and observe which immune cells hate each other the most? | 10:24 |
| ParahSailin | i'd win that one, im probably a host for all kinds of diseases that i've picked up over the last 10 years of not being sick | 10:24 |
| gradstudentbot | Is there free food at that seminar? | 10:25 |
| ParahSailin | what triggers that thing ^ | 10:25 |

| jrayhawk | there's a theory that throwing produced high-functioning human egalitarianism by way of democratizing coercive threat | 13:02 |
| kanzure | is there a missing verb in there? | 13:02 |
| jrayhawk | don't think so | 13:03 |
| jrayhawk | the idea being that the biggest, strongest asshole can only coerce so many before he's outmatched by projectiles | 13:05 |
| jrayhawk | which is part of why 'alpha male' in other primates is not a good model for 'alpha male' in humans | 13:05 |
| crw | would that not just cause the big, strong assholes to band together to coerce more effectively? or maybe that's where armies came from? | 13:06 |
| jrayhawk | assholes aren't good at banding | 13:07 |
| crw | hmm | 13:07 |
| EnLilaSko | Wouldn't assholes just need 1 leader? | 13:08 |
| gradstudentbot | Should I still be wearing gloves? | 13:08 |
| crw | it's an interesting theory | 13:10 |
| jrayhawk | part of this concept is that increases in weapons technology sophistication are increases in potential scale for an organized society by way of coercive threat | 13:11 |
| jrayhawk | but obviously there are issues with this; not all advancements were democratic | 13:11 |
| crw | yeah that doesn't work | 13:12 |
| crw | jrayhawk: i wonder if there are any clues to that theory in the history of stoning as a punishment | 13:12 |

| kanzure | " A month earlier, Samsung Bioepis—a Samsung-Biogen Idec biologics joint venture—said it would collaborate with Merck & Co. to create "multiple pre-specified" undisclosed biosimilars. The collaboration follows separate biosimilars failures by Samsung and Merck in recent years." | 21:09 |
| kanzure | ha, biosimiliars | 21:09 |
| kanzure | biosimilars, i mean | 21:09 |
| kanzure | "Sony, which is scrambling to reverse years of red ink, houses a Biotechnology unit looking beyond its traditional strengths in advanced flow cytometry analysis and sorting technology." hmm. | 21:10 |
| crw | with sony's track-record for tech, that's a scary prospect | 21:11 |
| kanzure | well, just an opportunity | 21:11 |
| crw | as long as they've learned from their past mistakes, i guess | 21:12 |
| kanzure | eventually the biotech companies will be eaten alive by startups | 21:12 |
| kanzure | and the tech companies like sony/samsung are more used to the rapid changes in the technology markets | 21:12 |
| kanzure | so they would be possible entry-points for any tech-savy biotech startup | 21:12 |
| kanzure | or something like that | 21:12 |
| kanzure | idea not formed yet | 21:12 |
| crw | can only hope it happens that way and that excessively-hostile regulations from a legislature that 1) doesn't know any better; and 2) over-lobbied from those currently-entrenched companies - don't ruin it | 21:13 |

| yashgaroth | mitsubishi's been big in biotech for a while | 21:29 |
| kanzure | crw: the legislature is of no interest to me. they can't legislate bacteria into extinction. | 21:32 |

| crw | no but they can instruct their enforcer class to more or less destroy you if you attempt to do something they don't like. | 21:34 |
| kanzure | anonymity | 21:34 |
| crw | oh i thought we were talking about businesses. though i guess anonymous business ventures shouldn't be out of the question if we're talking about hypothetical futures. | 21:35 |
| kanzure | yeah, ParahSailin's anonymous antibody black market seems to be paying off pretty well | 21:35 |
| delinquentme | yashgaroth, reeeally | 21:40 |
| yashgaroth | yes, mitsubishi tanabe research labs | 21:40 |
| yashgaroth | mostly they just buy up small companies, like big pharma does but without all that pesky research-doing | 21:41 |
| yashgaroth | not big like pfizer/lilly/merck/gsk big, but big for a non-biotech | 21:44 |
| -!- lichen [~lichen@c-24-21-206-64.hsd1.or.comcast.net] has joined ##hplusroadmap | 22:09 | |
| jonathan__ | i read about those labs.. in william gibson.. that's where they make the cyborgs and mutants right | 22:47 |
| jonathan__ | m. tanabe research labs and some in the archipelago | 22:48 |
| jonathan__ | staffed by postdocs who never left, five generations ago, and had offspring within the complex, also to become postdocs, so they are completely estranged from society and have their own morals and values including massive self modification | 22:49 |
| yashgaroth | gibsonland, where hybridomas are capable of anything | 22:49 |
| jonathan__ | the sixth generation is mutating due to inbreeding so they are focusing on a way to create genetic diversity but many of the fifth generation are already mad | 22:50 |
| jonathan__ | paranoid delusional | 22:50 |
| jonathan__ | not unlike academia today | 22:50 |
| yashgaroth | arcologies overgrown with experiments gone wrong | 22:50 |
| jonathan__ | better them than me | 22:51 |
| yashgaroth | would be nice if more postdocs were into self modification tho | 22:51 |
| gradstudentbot | Where did you put the revisions to the paper? | 22:52 |
| jonathan__ | rumor has it that some biologists smoke cigarettes, that's some easy genetic self modification in the damage dept. at least | 22:52 |
| jonathan__ | the kombucha is dead | 22:53 |
| yashgaroth | hey man when my ultralungs finish evolving we'll see who laughs | 22:53 |
| yashgaroth | whaaat? both of them? | 22:53 |
| jonathan__ | total zoo tonight | 22:53 |
| jonathan__ | everyone walking in circles, one room to another, stuff moved around because of new benches | 22:54 |
| yashgaroth | oh yeah how are/how many are the benches? | 22:54 |
| jonathan__ | tons | 22:54 |
| yashgaroth | sweeeee | 22:54 |
| jonathan__ | like a dozen | 22:54 |
| jonathan__ | someone brought in a different microwave "from the garage" | 22:55 |
| jonathan__ | I asked if it was clean | 22:55 |
| jonathan__ | "I dont know" | 22:55 |
| jonathan__ | how do I know if I can use it? | 22:55 |
| yashgaroth | "he laughed" | 22:55 |
| jonathan__ | "it's for food" | 22:55 |
| jonathan__ | what if it's not clean? | 22:55 |
| jonathan__ | "I cleaned it today" | 22:55 |
| jonathan__ | with what? | 22:55 |
| jonathan__ | "the cleaning stuff, windex and stuff" | 22:55 |
| jonathan__ | what if it's hot? how do you know what it was used for? | 22:55 |
| jonathan__ | "what are you talking about, I just cleaned it today" | 22:56 |
| jonathan__ | but where did it come from? | 22:56 |
| jonathan__ | "I dont know" | 22:56 |
| jonathan__ | how did it get here? | 22:56 |
| jonathan__ | "it was in the garage, I told you" | 22:56 |
| jonathan__ | but who dropped it off and what did they use it for? | 22:56 |
| jonathan__ | "I dont know, katrina said use it for food." | 22:56 |
| jonathan__ | how did she know what it was used for and if it was clean? | 22:56 |
| jonathan__ | "she didn't know either" | 22:56 |
| jonathan__ | then how can you say it's clean when you don't know where it's been? | 22:57 |
| jonathan__ | "because I just cleaned it today!" | 22:57 |
| yashgaroth | isn't she the one who's all paranoid about that shit | 22:57 |
| jonathan__ | kind of reminds me of eliza lol | 22:57 |
| jonathan__ | if it's radioactive then we shouldn't use it, right? | 22:57 |
| jonathan__ | "just stop, it is not!" | 22:57 |
| jonathan__ | how do you know? | 22:57 |
| jonathan__ | "because it was in the garage" | 22:57 |
| jonathan__ | Ok.... | 22:57 |
| yashgaroth | yeah I don't really trust babak's microwave either | 22:58 |
| jonathan__ | me neither | 22:59 |
| jonathan__ | "where's the microwave?" | 22:59 |
| jonathan__ | oops wrong quoting | 22:59 |
| jonathan__ | where's the microwave? | 22:59 |
| jonathan__ | joe: "hmm ahh wheres the microwave. did anyone see a microwave. where did that go to?" | 23:00 |
| jonathan__ | dude, it's a microwave that's like 2' by 3' it's kind of hard to miss aint it | 23:00 |
| jonathan__ | anyways it was across the room on the floor not plugged in | 23:00 |
| jonathan__ | lol | 23:00 |
| yashgaroth | hey they blend in | 23:01 |
| jonathan__ | imagine what will happen when there are... actual.... experiments... going on | 23:01 |
| yashgaroth | I try not to | 23:01 |
| jonathan__ | i thought it was a working meeting, meanwhile everyone's chatting up the girls. what | 23:02 |
| jonathan__ | do work, chat up girls some other time dudes | 23:02 |
| yashgaroth | pfft you're one to talk | 23:02 |
| jonathan__ | might as well go to grad school with this nonsense | 23:02 |
| jonathan__ | eh, I dont chat up lab girls when it's work time. | 23:03 |
| yashgaroth | fair enough. did they get the 2nd hood raised? | 23:03 |
| jonathan__ | I think so | 23:03 |
| yashgaroth | well huzzah I guess | 23:03 |
| jonathan__ | if it's not connected it doesnt matter much does it | 23:04 |
| yashgaroth | it only needs electricity | 23:04 |
| yashgaroth | and functional hepa filters, those are more tricky | 23:05 |
| jonathan__ | yes, needs air | 23:07 |
| jonathan__ | i'm not worried since everyone in the lab will die from radioactive popcorn due to that microwave lol | 23:08 |
| yashgaroth | well it has a bigass fan, just needs to filter absolutely everything that comes in | 23:08 |
| jonathan__ | its not the only bigass in the lab | 23:16 |
| yashgaroth | ho ho | 23:16 |
| jonathan__ | tho you weren't there tonight haha | 23:16 |
| jonathan__ | anyways not to worry about those demos | 23:17 |
| yashgaroth | oh? | 23:17 |
| jonathan__ | cause doubt there will be ?? | 23:17 |
| yashgaroth | well the kombucha may be dead but glorious digital chart recorder lives on | 23:18 |
| jonathan__ | yes that's true.. if you can find your equip | 23:18 |
| yashgaroth | they touched my stuff?! | 23:18 |
| jonathan__ | count on it | 23:18 |
| yashgaroth | argh fuck | 23:19 |
| jonathan__ | oh, I'm sure there was good reason.. ummm | 23:19 |
| jonathan__ | for some reason they moved the entire bench with our stuff | 23:19 |
| yashgaroth | everything has been arranged by size, cross-referenced by shade of beige | 23:19 |
| jonathan__ | should have just paid sportsman for some lab space eh | 23:20 |
| jonathan__ | he's got a nice lab | 23:20 |
| yashgaroth | it's okay | 23:20 |
| yashgaroth | why, is he still selling? | 23:20 |
| jonathan__ | havent seen him recently i dunno | 23:21 |
| yashgaroth | yeah he's been on vacay for like a month now | 23:21 |
| jonathan__ | he's gonna come back and say: "ummm what the F----" | 23:21 |
| jonathan__ | it's nice that they leveled the new benches | 23:21 |
| jonathan__ | half over the power outlets lol | 23:22 |
| jonathan__ | biologists are weird | 23:22 |
| yashgaroth | lab setup is an arcane art, left only to the highest class of priests | 23:22 |
| yashgaroth | we anger the biology gods with our attempts, it cannot end well | 23:23 |
| jonathan__ | dont let me get in the way of your feng shui | 23:23 |
| jonathan__ | especially if there's water and electricity in the mix | 23:24 |
| yashgaroth | first priority is to consecrate the pcr shrine, or else good luck doing any dna work | 23:24 |
| yashgaroth | surely the high-concentration alcohols cancel out the interaction between water and electricity | 23:25 |
| jonathan__ | by alcohol I wonder if you mean wine and beer | 23:25 |
| yashgaroth | pah that's barely flammable | 23:26 |
| yashgaroth | I do really hope we forget to write a no-drinking clause into the bylaws, because 90% of biology would be made 10x better with a buzz on | 23:27 |
| jonathan__ | really | 23:34 |
| jonathan__ | kind of what ozzy said about being high while onstage right | 23:34 |
| jonathan__ | "it makes the performance better" | 23:34 |
| jonathan__ | ummm not for the audience lol | 23:34 |
| yashgaroth | makes it more enjoyable for the performer at least yeah | 23:34 |
| jonathan__ | what happened to the idea of reducing genetic damage?? | 23:35 |
| gradstudentbot | The protocol is wrong. | 23:36 |
| yashgaroth | alcohol doesn't damage dna, just...cells in general | 23:37 |
| jonathan__ | yea BRAIN cells ummmmmm not a good idea | 23:37 |
| jonathan__ | i like my brain Mmmmm brains... | 23:37 |
| yashgaroth | toally worth it mostly | 23:38 |
| jonathan__ | shitty drug imho | 23:41 |
| jonathan__ | the worst choice of any | 23:41 |
| yashgaroth | almost any | 23:42 |
| jonathan__ | hmm lemme see let me take something that has horrible side effects, short lasting, large tolerance, and makes a lot of pee | 23:42 |
| jonathan__ | headaches, dizziness, aggressive behavior... hmmm | 23:43 |
| yashgaroth | sure but imagine how boring mardi gras would be otherwise | 23:45 |
| jonathan__ | umm not necessary | 23:46 |
| jonathan__ | lets see, it overrides inhibition | 23:46 |
| jonathan__ | where does inhibition come from | 23:46 |
| jonathan__ | oh yea, society training | 23:46 |
| jonathan__ | oh yea, religion | 23:46 |
| jonathan__ | oh yea, cultural stigma | 23:46 |
| jonathan__ | why not kill those instead. | 23:46 |
| yashgaroth | beer is somewhat cheaper | 23:47 |
| jonathan__ | ha | 23:47 |
| jonathan__ | ok i'll give you that I guess | 23:47 |
| jonathan__ | or maybe not | 23:48 |
| jonathan__ | it's probably higher in terms of cost, from all the side effects | 23:49 |
| yashgaroth | well we could discuss this for a while but I do need to sleep | 23:50 |
| jonathan__ | I dont think tei will be comiong to the lab much anymore | 23:50 |
| jonathan__ | seems he is employed or something now | 23:50 |
| yashgaroth | I thought he already was | 23:50 |
