JayDuggerGood morning, everyone.00:38
kanzurehello00:40
kanzureon this edition of extropy-chat, everyone finally bothers to check out marshall brain and manna01:01
kanzure*cough*01:01
JayDuggermanna?01:12
JayDuggerNever mind, found it.01:12
JayDuggerI remember it now.01:13
JayDuggerAnything novel about the current discussion, or just the usual suspects repeating their usual opinions?01:14
kanzurethe only novelty is that they found it or apparently forgot that they know marshall brain01:14
JayDuggerThat figures. Anyone complaining about the arbitrary ending?01:14
kanzureno they haven't read it01:15

kanzureklafka: are you asking if we know that, or how it works?12:35
kanzureok12:35
klafkathis URI encoder/decoder is a pretty comprehensive program12:36

Tyrantwhen linking together stuff that uses 96 well plates (or any plates really) then using something like the benchbot makes it easy12:41
Tyrant(and making a benchbot ripoff should be quite simple too)12:41
Tyranteverything else is a matter of piping or moving around single ependorfs for samples12:43
delinquentmeTyrant, so when i was thinking about a hotel or a stack of plates the idea came to mind... 1) simply have a common height where the plate sits .. and a simple clamp mechanism which scoots it to the next area12:43
Tyrantthats how the benchbot works12:44
delinquentmehttp://www.qdraw.com/conveyors/microplate/12:44
delinquentmeand i really like the design on these12:44
Tyrantofc, you're obsessed with conveyors :p12:45

TyrantI prefer http://www.chem.agilent.com/en-US/Products/Instruments/automation/Pages/AAS_BenchBot.aspx12:45
delinquentmedoesnt the conveyor seem cheaper?12:51
delinquentmelol PAUSE.12:53
delinquentmefound my new calling12:53
jrayhawkyou seem to find a new calling every fifteen minutes12:53
delinquentmeI want to mix electronic ambient beats for medical automation companies12:53
delinquentmeSPECIFICALLY12:53
delinquentmeyea. duh.12:53
kanzureyeah there's tons of videos like that on youtube12:53
kanzuredelinquentme: try this,12:53
kanzurehttp://www.youtube.com/user/kanzure#grid/user/0EB93E6E02E5CF1712:54
delinquentme"you're really good!" yeah thanks .. my robot was featured in a top 40 song once12:54
kanzureit's just a playlist of ambient beats over machines12:54
delinquentmeTyrant, its very cool .. but how much wasted motion is that?12:56
-!- eudoxia [~eudoxia@r190-64-65-93.dialup.adsl.anteldata.net.uy] has quit [Quit: quit]13:01
kanzuredelinquentme: http://www.youtube.com/user/kanzure#p/c/0EB93E6E02E5CF17/26/4e8u6xJLTzE13:01
Tyrantdelinquentme: Reducing the amount of wasted motion of the benchbot is a matter of better programming13:02
Tyrantit seems to need to zero itself between every movement which is ridiculous13:02
delinquentmeMACHINESSSss they're so beautifullll13:03
delinquentmeTyrant, yeah that is a side effect of that one touch13:04
Tyrantits a bit derpy13:04
delinquentmethat arm is a solution for integrating systems which were not designed to work together13:04
delinquentmelike its an awesome solution for that13:04
delinquentmekanzure, this channel is better than watching discovery channel13:05
Tyrantyour generally not going to get a system of lots of equipment that is designed to work to gether unless one company makes them all (not gona happen)13:05
delinquentmeGOD i wonder if the audi R8 stress test is online13:05
delinquentmeYESSSSS13:08
delinquentmehere it is13:08
delinquentmehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Az84LRmYfiY13:08
delinquentme<313:08
delinquentmehumans, we're fucking AWESOME when we focus huh?13:08
delinquentmeTyrant, yeah see thats the current downfall of my entirely automated lab13:08
delinquentmebut with that solution mixer startup you showed yesterday .. step in the right direction13:09
Tyrant  meh theres actually quite a bit of lab automation out htere13:11
Tyrantproblem: very expensive13:11
delinquentmewhere does the line get drawn ... as in between what gets the "assembly line treatment" ( probs processes which are low-margin for those mfgs) and which machines are sufficiently complex that we should just throw the agilent arm at it13:15
jrayhawkspeaking of sampling machinery for music and audi, the r10 promotional video is also pretty cool13:23
jrayhawkhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-370413011463022423213:24
kanzurenot bad13:33
Tyrantdelinquentme: depends on what the lab is doing13:33
Tyrantif its an R&D lab, very much the latter13:33
Tyrantif it's a diagnostics lab, assay lab, other bio contracting services, etc. then it needs the assembly line13:34

evolvidlepipettes or pipette tips?16:00
evolvidleyou can wipe pipettes with alcohol16:00
evolvidleas for pipette tips16:00
evolvidleyou never reuse pipette tips16:00
evolvidleperiod16:00
delinquentmeevolvidle, so alcohol... removes all objects sufficient as to not contaminate16:40
delinquentmeit seems to me that when were talking molecular bio we've got to worry about all kinds of molecular debris16:45
evolvidlethe pipette itself doesn't touch the samples16:46
evolvidlejust the pipette tips16:46
delinquentmewhat about fixed tips16:47
delinquentmelike those in tecan systems .. how do they clean those16:47
evolvidleI've never used fixed tips16:49
evolvidleeven after autoclaving, contamination can still be an issue16:49

kanzurehey so does anyone have.. border passing advice?22:07
Tyrantkanzure: as in physical borders, airport security, etc?22:24
kanzureas in leaving/arriving in the u.s.22:25
Tyrantif you're a US citizen, just need your passport22:26
Tyrantif you have to ask "can i bring this in carry on" you should probably leave it in a checked bag22:26
kanzureno i mean my hard drive contents22:27
Tyrantantistatic bag22:27
kanzureerm22:27
kanzureno i mean like private keys22:27
Tyrantwhat about them22:27
kanzurehave you done this before22:27
Tyrantseeing as im an immigrant, yes i have22:28
kanzureand you let them copy your private keys ?22:28
kanzureor what?22:28
Tyrantno22:28
Tyrantwhy would you let anyone copy them22:29
Tyrantwhy would that even come up at an airport22:29
kanzureapparently it's standard procedure to check your hard drives now22:29
Tyrantuhhh no22:29
kanzurehttp://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2008/05/border-search-answers22:29
Tyrantsupposedly the TSA can check if you're a suspicious entity22:30
Tyrantbut you have no obligatio22:30
Tyrantand in the many times ive flown (including recently), i've never had anyone check22:30
kanzure"suspicious entity" meaning, i make them feel uneasy?22:31
kanzureor "you're on some list"?22:31
Tyrantif you're "on some list" you probably won't fly22:31
Tyrantsuspicious meaning you are arab or something22:32
kanzureokay22:32
Tyrantact normal, carry a black passport and you'll be fine22:32
kanzurelast time i checked i wasn't arab so that's cool22:32
Tyrantis this your first time flying out of the country?22:32
kanzureyep22:32
kanzurenot really sure what the hard drive copying rate is22:32
kanzure10% chance?22:32
kanzure1?22:32
Tyrant0%22:33
Tyrant"practically" 0%22:33
Tyrantlike i said, if you're wondering wether you can bring osmething onto carry on, just put it in checked bags and they wont get a reason to search you22:34
wrldpc^22:37
foucistTyrant: they do randomly check checked in baggage22:38
wrldpcThey're looking for child pornographers and terrorists.22:38
wrldpcand drug runners.22:38
foucistwrldpc: they do random at the checked baggage level as well22:39
foucistno racial profiling22:39
foucistdepends on airport i guess22:39
wrldpcWhat I'm getting at is even if he does get stopped and searched … even in the worst case scenario whatever they find isn't going to ping their radar.22:39
wrldpcHe could have every JSTOR paper.22:39
foucistwrldpc: i'm talking _checked baggage_ specifically22:39
foucistnot carry-on22:40
wrldpcEven in that case.22:40
-!- Fiohnel [~r3idslash@111.94.244.77] has joined ##hplusroadmap22:40
foucistanecdotal evidence: my friend has had his checked baggage checked 3-4 times (he doesn't lock the bags however), he's flown a shitton though, probably 50 times in the last 2 years22:44
foucisti carry on however22:45
foucistso i dunno how high the rate of checking checked baggage is22:45
Tyrantfoucist: i get my checked baggage inspected probably a quarter of the time I fly22:47
Tyrantreason: i usually fly with lots of electronic equipment and stuff that "looks" like bombs22:47
Tyrantif you dont carry anything suspicious your chances of getting inspected are minimal22:47
Tyrantrandom you can't account for unless you dont fly22:48
Tyrantas for them checking hard drives in checked baggage, i doubt it22:48
wrldpcI've never heard of a case wherein a passenger had their hard drive scanned.22:48
wrldpcMaybe in a couple years.22:48
foucistkanzure: yeah your hdds are safe22:49
Tyrantjust do full drive encryption and theres nothing they can do (assuming you chose even a semi secure encryption method)22:49
wrldpcI would think they'd need a warrant for something like that?  They can't just open your briefcase and rifle through your papers can they?22:49
Tyrantprobably can22:49
Tyranti just ask that I be present when they inspect my checked baggage22:49
wrldpcIf you're really sketched out you might elect to just ship the drives ahead of you.22:50
wrldpcIf this was the future I'd suggest stuff it all in a cloud.22:50
Tyrantpfft. it should all be in the cloud anyway22:50
wrldpc^22:51
foucistjust don't put it on dropbox without pre-encrypting it22:51
wrldpclulz22:51
Tyranti prefer ubuntu's cloud thing22:52
Tyranttheres some stuff online on encrypting/decrypting stuff on ubuntu one22:52
Tyrantwhen you login a script runs and copies the encrypted ubuntu one docs to a set directory unencrypted22:53
Tyrantthen you just copy to that directory and rerun the script22:53
