ThomasEgiand bring a honeywell with you.09:02
ThomasEgiwhatever that is.09:03
ThomasEgiwell the thing is. altho their current setup works, it's expensive, complicated and not doesnt adapt well to their needs09:03
Lukas_Does anyone know any nootropic that is relatively safe?09:07

kanzureabout how many standard deviations from "100% likely to kill you" are looking for?09:13
kanzure*are you looking for?09:14
archelskanzure: Do you take anything to offset the side effects of the dex?09:15
kanzurenope09:15

uniqanomaly_they should introduce gender parity12:36

uniqanomaly_ok, i guess too much fucking politics15:35
Lukas_we are political creatures15:35
Lukas_In my opinion, some governments will, others won't15:35
Lukas_the only opinions that matter are the Chinese and Americans, mainly15:36
Lukas_if a major clampdown occurs in those countries on such technology, then transhumanism faces a nearly impossible job of trying to go about our business15:37
kanzureLukas_: no, we're not political creatures15:37
uniqanomaly_Lukas_: not really impossible15:37

Lukas___In all seriousness, you are right <kanzure>, panic does nothing15:45
Lukas___but this is just wild speculation15:47
TechnicusAugmented visiual comprehention.15:48
Lukas___?15:49
TechnicusToo many people do not understand what is happening.15:49
Lukas___which is a good thing IMO15:50
QuantumGhave you considered that you might be one of them? ;)15:51
Lukas___me?15:51
TechnicusI myself am tramendously ignorant.15:52
Lukas___As am I15:52
QuantumGthe people living through events rarely understand their historical significance15:54
TechnicusI forgot about that, thanks for reminding me.15:54
QuantumGThe Mesopotamians had very little idea that they were revolutionizing farming.. they were just digging ditches to get water to their crops.15:56
TechnicusI am presently upset by a Cease & Desist/Take Down Notice from Faceboot to the developer of PhotoJacker: [ http://www.photojacker.com/ ].15:56
Lukas___what about the result of the agricultural revolution?15:56
Lukas___there is significant evidence of violence between nomadic groups and settled people during that period15:57
TechnicusLiving as a nomadic lifestyle is not suited or permitted by / for many of today's cultures.15:58
Lukas___but it was once the only way of doing things15:58
QuantumGvast amounts of americans live in caravans15:59
Lukas___crop growing was a game changer15:59
Lukas___the food they get is still grown, they aren't foraging15:59
TechnicusTo have a portable dwelling provides a sense of freedom.16:00
QuantumGmost nomads were herders.. so the domesticated animals did the foraging, and they ate the animals16:00
Lukas___true16:01
Lukas___but you can support a significant population with crops, as opposed to just herding16:01
QuantumGit was still animal power though16:04
Lukas___still animal power, but that subtle change had a huge cultural impact16:05
Lukas___I am unsure of whether the idea of territory was 'born' during that time, I am unsure of how we would even know if that happened ....16:07
Lukas___meh, I am rambling16:07
QuantumGyes, it was.  The great empires of east and west were the direct result of increased farming production and the specialization of workforce16:08
QuantumGyep, but it wasn't until the mining revolution and the subsequent industrial revolution that large scale production finally took off..  the question today, I think, is will all that be made obsolete by synthetic biology?  self-tending, self-harvesting crops.16:08
Lukas___perhaps, we don't know.  The best we can do is try to see where the tech is going and work accordingly to stay ahead of the curve16:09

joshcryerDan screws around, probably his best "instructional" video (greenpowerscience): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRnhFvu9PXo16:20
joshcryerI know he mostly dicks around most of the time, but it's nice to see this hack.16:21
joshcryer(throws some Nd magnets on a hexagonal block of wood and places it in a fan stator, produces current)16:21
QuantumGa more modern example: the NSF had no idea what would result from removing the non-commercial terms of use from their backbone of the Internet.16:23

QuantumGI think most of us have jobs instead16:50

kanzurewhat do you need16:53
-!- eridu [debian-tor@gateway/tor-sasl/eridu] has quit [Quit: Leaving]16:54
Lukas___I just wanted to know what sort of positions in industry are PhD-only - I want to work in a genomics company, and I eventually want to head my own projects eventually.  But I am barely getting through college financially, so I am unsure of going to graduate school is wise or not16:56
kanzurewhy are you in school, again?16:56
Lukas___Biomedical Engineering16:57
Lukas___and because I would be kicked out if I wasn't in school16:57
Lukas___mainly16:57
kanzurekicked out of what16:58
Lukas___Biomedical Engineering allows a greater spread, in case I decide that genetics isn't my strongpoint16:58
Lukas___my house16:58
QuantumGI'm still watching this video joshcryer posted16:58
Lukas___rather, my parent's house16:58
QuantumGfuck me, this guy could have explained this thing in 10 seconds16:58
QuantumG31 minutes to say "alternate the magnets"?  seriously?16:59
joshcryerHehe17:01
joshcryerI like when he uses mechanical advantage to do a task, such as when he drives the block down the screw with the drill.17:01
kanzureLukas___: gonna have to move out some day17:01
joshcryerI try to think of ways to avoid effort so it is fun when someone else does, too.17:02
Lukas___I'd rather do it when I have money to survive on17:02
joshcryerkanzure, all housing should be free, electricity, and water, and food!!!!!17:02
Lukas___agreed 100%17:03
joshcryerneeds more exclaimation points17:04
Lukas___<kanzure>:  How did you do it?17:07
QuantumGdude needs to join steel... and uses sticky tape17:09
joshcryerQuantumG, it's a hack, not production thing, haha. He's always having to disclaim whatever hack he does because people are all "wtf you shouldn't do it that way!"17:14
joshcryerI suspect sticky tape wouldn't last long enough in a turbine for it to spin for a day.17:21
QuantumGyeah, weld the magnets to a metal rotor17:22
kanzureLukas___: i got kicked out17:29
kanzureit's surprisingly easy17:29
joshcryerkanzure, aww, why.17:29
joshcryerYou seem so lovable.17:30
Lukas___D:17:30
joshcryerEvery h+ guy needs a parents basement to work in.17:31
joshcryerIt's our only hope.17:31
Lukas___Trust me, I'd LOVE to move out of my house, but I have nothing in terms of money and experience17:33
kanzureno experience? what have you been doing for the past 15 years17:33
kanzurejoshcryer: it's probably in the logs sometime in 200817:34
