@kanzureit's funny because my secret identity is "john testing" (johntesting@mailinator.com) of "john testing solutions, ltd."01:21
@kanzurebut ghost makes more sense i guess01:21
browniesdid they subpoena Mailinator?01:24
@kanzureno01:24
@kanzureor, i don't think so01:24
@kanzurethey probably just saw that he was using those email addresses01:24
@kanzuremailinator has to receive a tremendous amount of email.. no way they are keeping any of it01:25
browniesyeah but they probably keep server logs right?01:26
browniesi.e. it's not what you use if you're actually serious about privacy01:26
@kanzureoh sure, i just use mailinator when i don't care01:26
browniesyeah, same.01:29
@kanzurewhy are you awake01:29
@kanzurearen't you supposed to be writing paranoid deletion stuff?01:29

browniesi've been super unproductive lately. i should just block all the timewasters.01:30
brownieswhy are YOU awake? isn't it like 4am for you?01:30

nmz787hi10:55
nmz787I posted that Eulerian Video Magnification link to a ciocurious discussion about a month ago11:06
nmz787but I think the organism has a shell11:06
nmz787so it may not have shown any noticable patterns11:06
delinquentmedude11:07
delinquentmethis s NUTS11:07
delinquentmekanzure, start weight lifting :D11:07
delinquentmeits good for longevity11:07

chris_99bwhat do you mean about the Eulerian video thing, they're using it to show peoples pulses11:20
chris_99bfrom what i can tell nmz78711:20
nmz787yeah11:20
nmz787but it magnifies certain parameters11:21
chris_99byeah like the colour11:21
-!- He||eshin is now known as Helleshin11:21
nmz787this guy wanted some kind of feedback to tell if his mollusks or something were living OK11:21
nmz787to test different growth additives and components11:21
nmz787I think the code is all on MITs site11:21
nmz787but I think the organisms have shells11:22
nmz787so dunno if you'd be able to really magnify much of any phenomena11:22
chris_99bah right, so someone wants to use that MIT stuff with a shelled creature11:22
nmz787maybe an imaging spectrometer could... hmm11:22
nmz787that's not a bad thought11:22
nmz787well I suggested it11:23
nmz787to the guy11:23
chris_99bor how about a FLIR11:23
nmz787who was asking "how might I tell my thing is not dying, before it dies/is past point of no return"11:23
delinquentmechris_99, its a glove which increases vasodilation through a small vacuum and then acts as a heat exchanger11:23
nmz787maybe FLIR would tell something, but I'm not sure11:23
delinquentmeso like this could be built with 2 small pumps11:24
chris_99byeah i read a bit about the vacuum delinquentme so it says it prevents muscle fatigue11:24
delinquentmeone for the air and another for the water circulation11:24
chris_99bbut surely you'd have to be pretty decent to get to the point it helps11:24
delinquentmeno11:24
nmz787delinquentme: i havent read yet... but you could just go swimming11:25
nmz787derp11:25
chris_99bhehe11:25
nmz787heat derp exchanger derp all around11:25
delinquentmenmz787, true but you're not doing massive weight bearing while swimming11:25
nmz787:P11:25
nmz787why not11:25
chris_99byeah just weight lift in the pool11:25
chris_99bhehe11:25
delinquentmeyou could but no one that I know of has stuck weights in a pool11:26
delinquentmeim trying to figure out what specifically induces the performance benefit11:26
nmz787there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8DMs4ovKcY11:26
delinquentme"acute needs at peak exertion for heat dissipation "11:26
nmz787so many "weight lifting underwater"11:26
nmz787this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5WOAdzlpGs11:26
kanzurenmz787: so tom's post to diybio is a little unusual11:26
kanzureit sounds like operon was trying to do yeast cloning to figure out whether or not the gene was being expressed?11:27
kanzureand they didn't realize that it was just a promoter?11:27
chris_99bread this bit delinquentme ''In 2009, it was discovered that muscle pyruvate kinase, or MPK, an enzyme that muscles need in order to generate chemical energy, was highly temperature- sensitive. At normal body temperature, the enzyme is active – but as temperatures rise, some of the enzyme begins to deform into the inactive state. By the time muscle temperatures near 104 degrees Fahrenheit, MPK activity completely shuts down.''11:27
kanzuregah i mean operon-the-company not operon-the-thing11:27
delinquentmeHMMM!11:28
delinquentmechris_99, was that on the website?11:28
chris_99byes11:28
chris_99bhttp://news.stanford.edu/news/2012/august/cooling-glove-research-082912.html11:28
chris_99boh it's a different website11:28
chris_99bbut yeah11:28
kanzurenmz787: "It is possible the presence of folding motifs or the GC rich portion interfered with the correct assembly of the gene (we were unable to obtain a clone with the correct gene sequence)"11:30
kanzure"a clone" here refers to what?11:30
chris_99bdelinquentme, so i say we build a suit that does this ;)11:30
delinquentmechris_99, you nailed it with whatever you googled11:31
nmz787kanzure: just read11:31
delinquentmeim looking at the patents atm11:31
delinquentmethe balance needs to be struck where the vacuum is just sufficient to overcome the vessel constriction that happens with cooling11:31
nmz787kanzure: it's because they aren't doing single molecule sequencing I think11:31
delinquentmevasoconstriction oddly enough :D11:31
nmz787and because they aren't doing single molecule synthesis11:32
kanzurewhat are they doing, then?11:32
nmz787same old same old11:32
nmz787all current gen can't handle that kind of stuff11:32
kanzureso when they say "cloning" they mean some PCR reaction, not yeast cloning stuff?11:32
nmz787or rather, handles it poorly11:32
chris_99bdelinquentme, do you even have to have a vacuum11:32
delinquentmechris_99, yeah its probably quite influential11:32
delinquentmethink about your hands in the cold11:32
nmz787cloning is a not specific to a organism11:32
delinquentmeits WAS an adaptive mechanism to constrict when it gets cold ...11:33
kanzurenmz787: i think i have a misunderstanding about when the word 'cloning' can be used :)11:33
nmz787they don't use cloning11:33
nmz787they say clone11:33
kanzurehmm.11:33
nmz787the reactions are all bulk11:33
kanzureok11:33
nmz787then they bulk put them in bulk vectors11:34
chris_99bi think you could just whack a peltier on them, delinquentme ?11:34
nmz787then do a bulk electroporation11:34
kanzurewait what? why are they using vectors at all??11:34
nmz787and dilute to spread the cells out far enough so only 1 cell will form a colony... rather than two close cells growing into the same visually detectable colony11:34
kanzureis this to increase the yield of the construct?11:34
nmz787then the pick that colony, and PCR the vector, and sequence11:34
nmz787and then find a good clone11:34
nmz787that is identical to what text file you sent them11:35
nmz787rather than checking the text file at the synthesis level11:35
kanzureso for some reason i assumed they would just synthesize -> pcr -> sequence11:35
nmz787no, it would likely get lost... or PCR is more erroneous than in vivo amplification11:36
nmz787plus they're not using microfluidics11:36
nmz787if they were, sure on board PCR could work11:36
nmz787but they're still just doing bulk synthesis11:36
nmz787of 20-200 mers11:36
kanzurei think yashgaroth is a proponent of doing the colony picking for dna synthesis, he's mentioned it once or twice11:36
kanzurein some positive fashion11:36
nmz787so the PCR would be heterogenous in data11:37
kanzuremaybe there's some "dna repair" and "dna maintenance" benefits that you get out of the cells11:37
nmz787yes11:37
nmz787or you get a better polymerase that is slower11:37
nmz787but has error correction11:37
nmz787but its not perfect11:37
nmz787but nano/microfluidics solves a lot of this time11:38
kanzurewell, i blame failure of memory for me not identify their method as using-cells-as-reactors-for-dna-synthesis11:38
kanzure*identifying11:38
nmz787that is why clone was there11:38
nmz787"we were unable to obtain a clone with the correct gene sequence"11:38
delinquentmechris_99, MAYBE.11:39
delinquentmechris_99, but I think the function here is the net thermal capacity11:39
delinquentmedo peltiers have that kind of total thermal capacity?11:40
delinquentmeMy guess is they'd be substantially less...11:40
chris_99byou can cool stuff pretty damn cold with them, to below freezing11:40
nmz787just weightlift under a waterfall11:41
nmz787geez11:41
nmz787and use a water chiller11:41
chris_99bheh or that11:41
delinquentmedunk nuts on the lower half of squats?11:43
delinquentmechris_99, do you have pelts laying around?11:46
chris_99byes11:46
chris_99bi've got ones that require a car battery to run ;)11:46
chris_99b(400W ones)11:47
delinquentmeHmmm11:47
nmz787delinquentme: why not just lift in front of a big ass A/C11:47
delinquentmeso you apply electricity and it gets cold ... why dont people use these in AC units?11:47
nmz787or install A/Cs from multiple directions11:47
delinquentmenmz787, you no read article.11:48
nmz787because they're not efficient11:48
nmz787reading now11:48
delinquentmenmz787, heat exchange through most parts of the body is hindered by body fat, muscle etc11:49
chris_99byou need to cool the hell out of the hot side delinquentme11:49
delinquentmeand heat exchange in the hands is hindered by vasoconstriction11:49
delinquentmeso you need to fight that11:49
delinquentmechris_99, the wikipedia article says it can heat or cool11:49
chris_99bit can11:49
chris_99bit has a hot and cold side11:50
delinquentmeI guess a plugin version would be interesting11:50
gnushadiyhpluswiki.git: fa4f3cb add a contact for egyptian diybio11:51
delinquentmechris_99, soooo how about a reading from those that you have11:51
delinquentmelike whats the temp difference between the cool side and ambient11:51
delinquentmeALSO water / coolant would easily wrap around hands ...11:52
delinquentmeare these peltiers stiff?11:52
chris_99bi know that you can easily get from 25C on one side or less to < 0 on the cold side11:52
chris_99band yes they are stiff11:52
delinquentmeid bet the best cooling spot would be the back of the hand11:53
delinquentmegreatest vessel diameter + little to no body fat / muscle11:53
delinquentmeBTW these sell for 3K a pop on their website :D11:53
delinquentmeand they *do* have patents11:54
chris_99blink to the patent?11:54

delinquentmeyou dont get heat transfer into your core as quickly swimming laps11:56
nmz787i've never been overheated in water11:57
delinquentmespecifically because you're cooling exteriors which leads to decreased blood flow in those areas11:57
delinquentmethe function here is to drop the core temperature11:57
nmz787i feel like the body would be smarter than that, aren't those blood vessels controlled by the neuro system?11:57

delinquentmeno11:57
nmz787no?11:57
delinquentmethe body is designed to constrict blood flow to spots that are cold11:58
kanzurejrayhawk: is there a way to get the ikiwiki toc plugin to give semantic anchor names instead of stuff like "index17h1"?11:58
delinquentmewhy do you think your hands get cold in winter if you're a white male11:58
nmz787"more convenient than, say, full-body submersion in ice water"11:58
nmz787telling me if you don't like swimming, buy our product11:58
delinquentmebut again if the function here... is to NOT decrease muscle temp ( external )11:58
nmz787my hands are always warmer than my dark girl11:58
nmz787in the winter11:58
nmz787it doesn't say don't decrease muscle temp11:59
delinquentmeIDK my hands get cold in the winter .. it was adaptive11:59
kanzure"weightlifting under a waterfall" sounds bad ass, let's do that11:59
delinquentmeit saved thermal energy and diverted it to the core11:59
nmz787your hands get cold because of heat transfer to the cold air11:59
delinquentmeand because of the process known as vasoconstriction11:59
delinquentmeblood is shunted12:00
nmz787and because your blood vessels close up so your core temp doesnt drop12:00
delinquentme^^^^^^^^^^12:00
nmz787but i don't think that's the same when the rest of your body is hot12:00
delinquentmethats the process that the vacuum fights12:00
delinquentmebut as you cool your hands12:00
delinquentmeits a localized function12:00
nmz787i don't think the vacuum does much, that seems like it could be explained by pressure physics12:00
delinquentmeyou want to retain the blood flow capacity12:00
nmz787it would enable blood to enter, just as much as it would hinder it leaving12:01
nmz787still seems like you would not overheat if you just worked out in a pond12:02
nmz787just get rubber coated weights12:02
delinquentmenmz787,12:02
nmz787put all your stuff in the pool12:02
delinquentmeI think your solutions are silly.12:02
nmz787sure, but it would work12:02
delinquentmeI like super gloves12:02
delinquentmeand they're also cheaper than pools12:02
nmz787if you are into running, well, i think thats silly, much worse than swimming on the knees12:02
nmz787but you could prob just take a mold of your hand12:03
nmz787make a negative, make it a little bigger, cast some metal around that, and there's your vacuum glove12:03
nmz787or 3D scanner your hand12:04

ThomasEgianyone ever tried to build a laser-etcher based on the same principle as a drum-scanner, just in reverse?12:07
kanzurein filenames.12:07
nmz787ThomasEgi: interesting idea12:07
ThomasEgiat least for scanning they get insane high resolutions. and the mechanics are comparebly simple12:07

ThomasEgimaybe something like a spinning table would make more sense here12:10
gnushalaser_etcher.git: 54a2153 removed another space12:11
ThomasEgithe whole point would be to avoid stacking 2 linear axis12:11
nmz787http://diyhpl.us/laser_etcher/CD-ROM_MECHANICS__COEN_180.htm12:11
nmz787there it is12:11
nmz787ThomasEgi: how about getting the PDMS onto the drum12:11
ThomasEgihey i am no expert :D i was just throwing the idea into the room12:12
nmz787if you added it wet, it would stretch after peeling off on one side (tension)12:12
nmz787opposite would occur if you placed flat dry PDMS on a the drum12:12
nmz787yeah interesting12:12
kanzure"Have you heard of Cycript? It's an open source JavaScript-ObjC bridge, maintained by Jay Freeman, the creator of Cydia. It currently supports this interactive console functionality (with tabbed autocomplete!), by injecting into a specified process."12:12
nmz787maybe you could just have drum microfluidics12:13
ThomasEgias i said. maybe having it on a flat disk that spins, like a cdrom, would work too.12:13
kanzuresaurik strikes again12:13
kanzurehttp://cycript.org/12:13
ThomasEginmz787, might work too.12:13
nmz787ThomasEgi: I've thought of that, I even have some MATLAB/Octave code that's supposed to turn an image into a CD-ROM ISO for burning12:13
nmz787but i don't remember messing with it too much after it didn't immediately work12:14
nmz787but I want to avoid a pulsed writing system12:14
nmz787rather, I want as few on/off cycles as possible12:14
ThomasEgiwhy?12:14
ThomasEgithat's just electronics.12:14
nmz787I feel like pulsing would make jagged channels12:15
nmz787well the laser is CW otherwise12:15
nmz787constant wave12:15
ThomasEgihm. it's not a diode-laser?12:15
nmz787it is12:15
nmz787but its CW12:16
ThomasEgithat's odd.12:16
ThomasEgihow many watts?12:16
nmz787output is max 800mW I believe12:16
nmz787in 405nm12:16
ThomasEgiuhm.12:16
ThomasEgithat.. should be totaly within pulseable limits12:16
nmz787prob about 4 W at the power supply12:16
nmz787yeah, but I dont want pulses12:16
nmz787I want CW12:16
nmz787to avoid jagged channel edges12:17
ThomasEgiwhat you want, is to avoid jagged channel edges, not to aloid pulsed lasers12:17
ThomasEgiappropriately handeled i see no problem there.12:17
nmz787what's the advantage of pulsing?12:18
ThomasEgiyou could use continous motion for the mechanics12:18
ThomasEgiless vibrations, easier to handle.12:18
nmz787you mean DC motors?12:18
nmz787instead of steppers?12:19
ThomasEgii'd recommend 3phase motors for maximum smoothness12:19
ThomasEgibut if you would go with a drum like setup12:19
nmz787hmm, I've heard the inertia will keep things smooth between steps12:19
ThomasEgiyou can have the drum spin pretty fast and just meassure it's rpm. and moving the laser on a signle axis.12:19
ThomasEgiand the pulsing does the rest12:19
TheEmpathCan the thermodynamic arrow of time be definitively established pre-ignition of the Big Bang?12:20
ThomasEginmz787, i mean.. drumscanners are known to scan more than 10000ppi12:21

jrayhawkRe: ikiwiki toc anchors: no, ikiwiki has a poor relationship with anchors in general12:25

jrayhawkre: spaces in filename: it's possible to enable this. it's disabled by default to avoid problems with namespace collisions between spaces and underbars when compiling.12:27
kanzureoh i suppose the header thing should be a markdown thing, not an ikiwiki thing12:29
jrayhawkYeah, probably.12:30
jrayhawki wonder if my browser supports anchor-by-id12:30
kanzurei only learned about that recently.. wish i knew it earlier, would have saved a bunch of trouble12:31
nmz787i was looking at a site that didnt have IDs where it had a visual 'anchor'12:33
nmz787bold and bigger text or something12:33
kanzureby anchor i mean <a name="anchor_name" /> giving page.html#anchor_name a thing12:36
kanzureor <element id="blah"> giving page.html#blah in more recent browsers12:36
jrayhawkthe links-family supports that12:38
jrayhawkit appears to be a 4.01 thing, at least12:39

yashgarothI'll glance over what I have and see if there's anything that fits the bill18:50
brownieskanzure: eh, the overall solution is to carve things out into standalone subclasses that are jobs, rather than just tacking .delay onto random things18:50
browniesonce you architect with that in mind, it looks like other things fall into place... i was able to clean up code in other models/controllers.18:51
kanzureoh i see18:51
kanzurei never got into the habit of using .delay directly when i was using delayed_job18:52

yashgarothoh yeah that's a collection of esoterics18:57
kanzurethere's a lot of skills you need to pick up before your ewok cell culture is going to even live a few days18:57
yashgarothweaning ewok cells off of FBS is such a hassle18:58

kanzureit has a few basic protocols in a few places, but it's not reliable in terms of "will there definitely be a rtPCR protocol"19:04
kanzureyeah19:04
kanzuremethodmint was trying to use stackoverflow's ui to do protocols/voting, but it hasn't seemed to catch on19:04

kanzureand for their gel mix they just had me copy something into a notebook19:12
yashgaroththere is a long, proud tradition of obfuscating sources in benchwork19:13
kanzuremaybe one way to motivate people to care about good protocols would be checklists19:14
kanzureand they might care to update the checklist to make it easier to debug in the future, or something19:14
yashgarothyeah that's the dream19:15
brownieschecklists would be good19:15
brownieslast time i joined a lab (which was a damned long time ago...) no one told me a damn thing19:16
brownieskanzure: why/how do you want to replace it?19:16
kanzurei want to replace it because it's fucking awful19:16
brownieswouldn't you basically have to crowdsource standard practices from all sorts of practitioners?19:16
kanzureand there's no accountability or way to improve it19:16
browniesand why would those practitioners want to write down stuff for you?19:16
kanzureyes, probably19:16
browniesunless you're a secret genius with like 18 nobel prizes, let's go with yes19:17
kanzureyeah, i don't claim to have that part figured out19:17
kanzurethere's maybe the 'credibility' thing or the 'oh look at my publication record' thing19:17
kanzurebut they would just publish in journals for that ;)19:17
kanzuremethodmint is an interesting case for me because they applied the stackoverflow software to protocols, and it had a very small amount of activity (about 20 users)19:18
browniesi mean, wikipedia is a *great* resource for e.g. pure mathematics19:18
kanzurehttp://research.abl.es/methods/tagged/molecular-biology/19:19
kanzurebut the top one has '2 votes' wtf19:19
browniesbut how did those mathematicians converge on wikipedia? and why? i have no clue.19:19
kanzure"6X DNA Loading Buffer for Agarose" and 1 user19:19
kanzurebrownies: actually, they also converge on mathoverflow (anton's site)19:19
brownieskanzure: actually, derp. presumably the actual *methods* for many things are written down in published papers, which are... behind paywalls.19:20
kanzureyes, but most of those methods verge on esoteric19:20
browniesbut if you're at an institution, you just find N papers who all used the technique of interest to do an expriment, read how they did it, maybe send some emails, and there you go.19:20
brownieswhy esoteric?19:20
kanzurein my experience if you're at an institution, you usually just have someone tell you once, but yeah19:20
browniespresumably the boring methods are also written down?19:20
brownieswell, sure, that too.19:20
kanzurethe boring methods are just shared in lab culture19:20
kanzurehumans talking to humans and being friendly19:20
kanzureit's possible that methodmint got no attention because its creators weren't advertising19:21

kanzurehttp://diyhpl.us/~bryan/irc/open-science-summit-2011/Math%20Overflow%20Anton.pdf19:27
browniesthe question is basically the same as the one for mathematicians19:27
browniesif you gave professional scientists in field X a place to collaborate with each other19:28
kanzurelook at the presentation :poke:19:28
browniesand it *just so happened to be public* ... then the problem would be solved.19:28
* brownies looks19:28
kanzurehaha, no, professional biologists would not collaborate in just one place that you give them19:28
kanzurethat's not how they role19:28
kanzureopenwetware didn't solve that19:28
brownieskanzure: yeah, the worrying answer is that math is compatible with this sort of collaboration, and other fields just aren't.19:29
browniesit is easy to rationalize that answer too, because for math all you need is pen and paper and brain19:29
yashgarothand stimulants19:30
browniesheh19:30
kanzurealso on mathoverflow you can "do" math19:30
kanzureyou don't "talk about maybe possibly doing math"19:30
brownieswell, that's the thing. math *is* just hanging out and thinking about stuff. you can go to someone's office and do it.19:30
brownies(or online, or whatever)19:31
kanzurealso math is about revisiting the same topics a lot19:31
brownieswhereas with e.g. biology you have to be all like "oh, good idea. let me go run 800 expreiments in the lab and get back to you in a month."19:31

kanzurebrownies: so, i don't think i can imagine a "research-level-only" biology protocols overflow site19:43
kanzurebecause most of the time when you're doing a new protocol, it's for a project that nobody is going to replicate unless it's something groundbreaking19:43
kanzure(like if it confers some new level of ability to others)19:44
browniesyeah, but a lot of math is like that too. it's not going to be terribly relevant, but people will still go "oh, that's interesting..."19:44

jmilbut ideally to keep it DRY you want each step in a protocol to be it's own entry in a task database, and each item used in a protocol to be in its own "items" database, then the protocol is just merging the tasks and items together to allow maximum reuse and dynamism20:10

jmilreally stellar. even better than nature protocols. but nature protocols is the most you could hope for coming from people doing the protocols since they are the ones in the trenches, not the world thought leaders like featured in methods in molecular bio20:19
kanzurewait what? so who writes methods in molecular bio?20:19
kanzurei mean surely it has to be people who are practicing those techniques?20:20
jmili think it's like a paper. written and done by a trainee but overseen directly by a PI20:20
jmili always saw methods mol bio stuff as kind of a victory lap publication for the PI after they get a big paper and some notoriety. nature protocols is trying to be like that idea20:20
kanzurei think i've seen a few of my friends in nature protocols. usually it's something sorta edgy but still thorough.20:21
jmila lot of nature protocols are detailing useful protocols developed for landmark papers but not described there in sufficient detail to be reproduced due to lack of space or due to a huge amount of technical info really needed to describe fully20:21
jmilkanzure: ya that model also applies to nature protocols20:22
kanzurejmil: so the problem i'm trying to solve here is that many people coming into diybio need protocols or need to be indoctrinated20:23
kanzurein a lab you have access to those books (if necessary) but most of the time you just get handed some notes from someone else20:23
browniesso why don't they just read the books? o.O20:24
kanzurebecause they cost like $20,000 a volume?20:24
kanzurethis looks pretty nice in terms of coverage: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/book/10.1002/0471142727/toc20:25
kanzure(current protocols in molecular bio)20:25
browniesa book costs $20,000? that ain't right.20:25
kanzurewell, no, it's probably like $50-$100 per book in the series20:25
kanzurebut methods in molecular bio is 900 books20:26
kanzureoh wait20:26
kanzurehttp://www.currentprotocols.com/WileyCDA/Section/id-810249.html20:26
kanzureonline subscription to current protocols is $400/series20:27
browniesit appears to be 1 book?20:27
browniesoh i see20:27
browniesi didn't know this existed. well, there's your fucking answer. -_-20:27
kanzurewhat, everyone pays a lot of cash to get these documents?20:28
brownieswhy would any biologist contribute to some half-baked ghetto recreation of this, when their institution gives them *this* for free?20:28
kanzurenot all institutions have this20:28
brownieswell, no, the lab owners pay, and that's that.20:28
kanzureand, most of the time, like in jmil's case, it's just some word documents on a shared server20:28
kanzurei mean, the reason you go to these books is because something is broken, not because it's your first stop20:29
kanzure(unless you're doing something esoteric in the first place)20:29
brownieswell... i don't know these things. -_-20:29
browniesbut what i gather is that plenty of documented protocols exist20:30
browniesand there's unlikely to be much sympathy for a small ragtag poverty-stricken band of garage tinkerers20:30
kanzurethe situation still sucks even for people in labs, though20:30
kanzure(my academic access gateways make that site say "you are not subscribed")20:33
AdrianGok20:49
AdrianGso whats the biggest breakthrough needed to make bio-hackinjg a commodity20:49
AdrianGlike pc hacking20:49
foucistwhat do you mean by commodity20:50

jrayhawki guess it's pretty easy to hack epigenetics. quantifiedselfers and other self-improvement nerds do it all the time.21:07
yashgarothehhhhhh21:09
kanzureif they can quantify it with gene expression graphing and stuff, sure21:10
yashgarothstill like saying if I binge drink and my liver upregulated alcohol dehydrogenase, I'm "hacking" my genetics21:12
jrayhawkyou might want to look up 'hack' on the jargon file21:13
yashgarothI try not to21:14
yashgarothalso epigenetics implies they're acetylating their own histones and shit21:14
AdrianGkanzure: why21:16
ParahSailin_this might be a little off topic here, but does anyone know about inverters for solar on a small (home) scale?21:16
AdrianGfoucist: commodity as in real cheap21:16
AdrianGlike anyone with two brain cells and 2 bucks can do it21:16
kanzureAdrianG: i think you're just being cryptic21:16
ParahSailin_commercial models too expensive, it seems like it wouldn't cost too much to solder stuff together21:16
kanzureAdrianG: but i would appreciate cheap reagents anyway21:17
AdrianGreagents are relatively cheap21:18
AdrianGits the hardware thats expensive21:18
kanzurehardware is pretty cheap on ebay21:18
yashgarothyeah no reagents are the expensive part21:18
yashgaroththat's true in all of bio research except, like, computational21:19
kanzurei'm pretty sure some of the thermocycler designs cost less than the $200 reagent mixes21:21
yashgarothhell the vendors usually just give equipment away so you'll buy their reagents21:21

kanzureall of them21:36
AdrianGwell21:36
AdrianGpurity ?21:36
kanzurecompletely21:36
AdrianGso then we should concentrate on cheap reagent production.21:37
AdrianGare there any companies thare are trying to do that21:37
AdrianGdramatically to bring down synthesis costs down?21:37
kanzureif you want to do cheap reagent production, go right ahead21:38
kanzurenone of us will stop you21:38
nmz787AdrianG: doesn't cost follow demand?21:41
nmz787it depends what you're talking about21:41
AdrianGyes and no21:41
nmz787an antibody could be a reagent in some assay21:41

nmz787oops22:18
nmz787http://www.good.is/post/a-13-year-old-s-slavery-analogy-raises-some-uncomfortable-truths-in-school/22:18
nmz787school is like slavery ?22:18
nmz787"Instead of truly teaching, most teachers simply "pass out pamphlets and packets" and then expect students to complete them independently, Williams wrote. But this approach fails, she concluded, because "most of my peers cannot read and or comprehend the material that has been provided." "22:19
nmz787"Given that only 19 percent of School #3's eighth graders were proficient in language arts last year (and just 13 percent in math)—well below the state average of 60 percent—it's clear that the school and its teachers need to change their approach."22:20
nmz787hah, so the girl wrote a good essay about how the school sucked, and the school (which does seem to suck) kicked her out22:21
nmz787"Attempting to silence Williams by branding her a troublemaker and driving her off campus isn't the answer. Now she is walking away from this controversy convinced that white teachers don't want to educate black students at all."22:21
nmz787I don't really think its a race thing though22:21
nmz787maybe sometimes, I guess I don't know22:21
nmz787I think school was pretty lame though, with the whole packet thing22:21
nmz787but honestly, my parents taught me how to read22:22
nmz787"As the parent of two black boys I know firsthand that white teachers can excel at teaching black children. What set those outstanding teachers apart was their genuine desire to see my boys succeed and hard work to build relationships with them and with our family. What if Williams' English teacher had used her essay to turn a critical eye on her teaching practice and her expectations for black students? What if the school had used it 22:22
nmz787geez, well, good author of this article at least22:22
nmz787oh wow, linked from that article http://www.good.is/post/teachers-are-awesome-meet-the-99-year-old-educator-still-on-the-job?utm_content=prev-next&utm_medium=post-page-bottom22:23
