kanzureyes10:26
kanzurehe's pretty bad at it10:26
kanzurei can't count the number of times i've cracked his sites on my fingers :(10:27
kanzureto be fair halcyon doesn't exactly need a good website at this point10:27
fennhum http://www.charlotteandwolfgang.com/history.html10:29
kanzurelehrach?10:29
fennthe lengths i go to just to find out peoples' last names...10:30
kanzuretry linkedin10:30
fennlinkedin blows10:31

kanzuretheir search box10:31
fenner, nevermind10:31
fennfor some reason this was much harder before10:32
kanzureare you sure that's not charlotte bowell10:32
fennit certainly looks like the same person10:33
* fenn assigns 95% confidence to the assertion10:34
fennless than a year eh10:36
kanzuresequence everything -> live forever10:36
kanzuresequence everything -> live forever10:36
kanzurei would very much enjoy sequencing everything and living forever, but i do think the strategy needs some work10:37
fenni agree10:37
fennthey're too physics-heavy and not enough biology imho10:38
kanzuredid you see how they stretch dna? pretty cool10:39
kanzurebut they admitted "we really have no clue how this works, so we just do it a bunch of times until it does what we want"10:39
fenneh? it's not a mystery, surface tension10:39
fenni knew that before going there10:39
kanzure(i thought they had a chemical method, or that they ditched their water-based approach)10:40
fennweirdly enough, one of my girlfriend's roomates is a chemist at halcyon10:41

kanzurehttp://www.dklevine.com/general/intellectual/against.htm18:21
kanzure"It is common to argue that intellectual property in the form of copyright and patent is necessary for the innovation and creation of ideas and inventions such as machines, drugs, computer software, books, music, literature and movies. In fact intellectual property is not like ordinary property at all, but constitutes a government grant of a costly and dangerous private monopoly over ideas."18:21
kanzure"We show through theory and example that intellectual monopoly is not neccesary for innovation and as a practical matter is damaging to growth, prosperity and liberty."18:21
QuantumGdo you see the logical fallacy in that argument?18:26
kanzurei wasn't really reading it18:27

foucistQuantumG: so you're pro-20:05
foucistIP20:06
foucistQuantumG: so you're pro-IP?20:06
QuantumGdid I say that?20:06
fennre: cron; mattyg helped me a little last night and it turns out i needed #!/bin/bash in addition to the filename change etc, and it's still not working but at least the script is running20:08
QuantumGwhether or not I agree with the sentiment, recognizing that this moron can't make a legitimate argument is important.20:08
kanzurefenn: still not working hrm20:09
kanzureso it sounds like he didn't help much20:09
kanzureeven you knew about the bash bangs at the start of scripts20:09
fennyeah but he made the suggestion "try running it as root"20:11
fennit failed when run as root, "no such file or directory"20:11
fennthat confused me for a bit20:11
fennthe script was obviously there20:12
kanzureIs cron working? ---> Try: * * * * * /bin/echo "foobar" >> /file_you_own and make sure it works.20:14
kanzureCan cron run your job? ---> Check the cron log, usually /var/log/cron.log or /var/log/messages for errors20:14
kanzureIs your command working? ---> Try: * * * * * /bin/foobar > /file_you_own 2>&1 and look for errors in /file_you_own20:15
kanzureor * * * * * wall test20:15
fennyes, yes, no20:17
fennand there is no cron.log20:17
kanzurehmm20:17
kanzurecron -L sets loglevel20:18
kanzureoh that doesn't seem helpful20:18
fennokay i know why it's not working; i su to fenn and then it does nothing, and exits, and then runs the rest of the script as root (instead of running it as fenn)20:27
fennso i'm just going to use fenn's crontab instead20:27
kanzure"and then runs the rest of the script" ?20:27
fennsu seems kinda useless in a script if you can't run commands as another user20:27
fennsorry, s/i su/the script su/20:28
kanzurehuh.20:28
kanzureso why does running as root break it?20:28
