kanzure"Fpv-Uho (fpv-uho.bet) – This offers proxy access through ~20 different university libraries. It worked well on a few papers that I wasn't able to access otherwise. This should be especially useful if you don't normally have VPN access to a library. (If the current proxy doesn't have access to your paper, just click the refresh icon on the right to switch to another proxy.) Again, looks like you'll need a non-US IP."00:26

kanzure"The problem with a modern web browser project is it's expensive to operate. All the ones I know of have extensive regression test suites, both correctness and performance, that get run from continuous integration systems in multiple configurations and on multiple platforms. That's not to mention the continuous fuzz testing farms looking for security bugs. I'm most familiar with the Firefox case: according to ...15:13
kanzure... https://etherpad.mozilla.org/InfraLoadIdeas a full correctness test run across all platforms is about 120 hours of machine time. Adding performance tests raises that to 177 hours. Combined with the pace of development, that means a build+test farm of 3000+ machines (according to http://oduinn.com/blog/2013/03/27/at-mozilla-releaseengineering-release-automation-continuous-integration/ ) and infrastructure load is still a problem. So any ...15:13
kanzure... serious project picking up Chromium development would need financial resources to at the very least maintain basic test infrastructure."15:13

fennoh. i was talking about transcriptional networks, which is more like playing games with packet storms between routers on a subnet19:10
heathoh, kanzure just seemed to hint he didn't care for winfree19:11
heathand fenn stated19:11
heath[23:53:50] <fenn> i dont like the whole transcriptional logic idea though, it's trying to draw an analogy where there really isnt one19:11
heathand for some reason i had it in my head there was a log from years ago where you guys were discussing this and cast it in a bad light due to how large a single strand had to be to make anything useful, but that might be my imagination19:12
fennactually most dna origami is made of short strands these days19:13
kanzurefenn wasn't talking about origami.19:13
fennoh, right. so, i was talking about the address length required to reliably target a specific promoter (i think)19:14
fennmaybe it was a scheme for using pcr primer tricks to do dna synthesis19:15

kanzureoh look heath was kind enough to specify it20:01
fennit would be great if all science papers came with explanatory videos like this20:05
kanzureyou want *video*?20:05
fenngiven a choice, i'd rather have the text format, but sometimes video is easier to understand20:07
heathwill someone eventually pay me to work on this and not patent every bit of the work?20:07
kanzureto work on what?20:07
heathbuilding stuff with dna20:08
heathfenn, launch a startup, i'll intern until i'm useful20:08
fennum. it's a little premature20:08
kanzurethat's not how you make money20:08
kanzureyou say: "i want to be paid x" then people pay you "x"20:08
kanzureif you say "i'll intern until" then you will not be paid, or if you are paid, it will be insulting.20:09
kanzureor illegal20:09
fennyou could go work in winfree's lab20:09
kanzurewhy are you suddenly interested in dna origami projects?20:09
heathdunno, it's one of the two things i've been consuming a lot20:10
heaththe other thing is market making bots20:11
kanzureif you are looking for some small project ideas to make a few bucks, i have a large ~/lists/startup-ideas file20:12
heath.link20:12
fennmarket making bots?20:12
heath.link startup-ideas20:12
heathfor bitcoin20:12
kanzureyesterday i added two entries. first is a textbook lookahead site to see if a new edition of your textbook is coming out before class starts (so that you can buy the textbook ahead of time if there's no new edition; otherwise, prices will spike).20:13
heathhaven't launched a one20:13
fenni regret to inform you that ".link startup-ideas" doesn't actually paste a link in here20:13
heathfenn: yeah, i'm aware, i just figured bryan would suddenly link though20:13
kanzuresecond idea was a personal analytics site for tracking down stalkers. you can use lots of different tracking methods to identify who your stalker is. you could even give the stalker a fake android app that reports their gps location to you so that you can be notified when they are physically near you and maybe you are in danger.20:13
kanzurebitcoin ideas.. uh.. uh.. black market for organs and mad science.20:14
kanzureincluding antibodies.20:14
fennwhen you said "analytics site for stalkers" i immediately thought that it was for use by stalkers to determine who/where their victim is20:17
kanzurenope, other way around20:17
kanzurewhostalksthestalkers.com20:17
fennbut wouldnt it work equally well either way?20:17
kanzureno, because as a stalker you can't coerce your victim to click your link20:18
fennthat's a totally ungrounded statement, and it's false :P20:18
kanzureyou can do phishing i guess20:18
kanzureanyway, stalkers are already quite capable of doing that20:18
kanzurethere is no product marketed to people who are actively trying to identify who their creep is20:19
kanzureor who is the person following them around the internet making death threats20:19
yashgaroththere's a girl from diybio san diego who has some stalker trying to contact people from the group and claiming to be her20:21
kanzureis it rachel?20:21
kanzureoh wait, no. ok good. let's never speak that name again.20:21
yashgarothyeah no20:21
kanzureanyway, yeah, if that's a real stalker, the goal would be to use this tool to help fix those situations.20:22
kanzurethe idea would be to figure out as much information as possible, then maybe take that to the police or make recommendations about how to block that person for good.20:22
yashgarothI figured if the stalker is contacting people, that they could reply with a link that IDs the stalker's IP address or something20:23
yashgarothlike 'hey here's a personal photo etc check it out' and then bam20:23
kanzureyes20:26
kanzurethere are other things you can do as well20:26
kanzurefor instance, you can look at the headers of the emails that were sent to you20:26

kanzurethis could provide additional information like what mail servers the creep is using20:26
kanzureor possibly which mail client20:26
yashgarothI'm guessing they just use some random gmail account, but I have few details from her20:27
kanzurethere are two critical problems with this idea as a business20:27
kanzurefirst, you would be putting yourself in physical danger because stalkers will fucking hate you20:27
kanzuresecond, it might be a little unethical to charge for this sort of protection/identification service20:27
kanzure"oh sorry about your stalker but since you're poor i can't do fuck all about it"20:28
fennre first, they're already in danger if they're being stalked (assuming the stalker was a violent person in the first place)20:28
kanzureno, i mean the person running the site.20:28
fennand second, that applies to any other business20:29
kanzurefair point20:29
fennwell, you'll just have to play pen test games to see if you can figure out who owns the company20:30
fennmumble mumble corporate veil20:30
kanzurebest way would be to make it bitcoin only and just make it a highly anonymized service20:30
kanzurebut then you would be cutting off a lot of people that need the service because they don't understand bitcoin, even if you use coinbase or w/e the easiest thing is of the day.20:31
fennnah anybody with enough savvy to use bitcoin already knows how to reverse-stalk20:31
kanzureno20:31
kanzurecoinbase makes it really dead simple to pay in bitcoins on sites20:31

kanzurethere are many sites integrating bitcoin these days not because they want to appease the technical hordes of nerds but because there's legitimately easy flows to sign people up through bitcoin (although it's not as seamless as "type in your credit card number".. there's like 2 or 3 more clicks).20:32

heathwhotalkstostalkers.com20:34
heathmaybe you should purchase that one? :)20:35
kanzureanyway, that was just because you asked20:36
kanzurei don't think i am strongly motivated to work on either one20:36
heathi want an idea around dna computing20:37
kanzureplus the stalker thing has only like 20M potential users/year, and maybe only 50% of those are going to be cyberstalking victims, and then if you get 1% of that market it's just pretty small, etc.20:37
kanzurewhy do you want dna computing?20:37
heaththe guys who did the glowing tree for kickstarter are actually a startup20:37
kanzurethey are actually liars and i hate them20:38
fennoh, they're actually a startup! woohoooooooooooooo20:38

heatha:"why do you like the color red?" b: "it makes me happy" a: "please elaborate"20:40
heathi'm not sure where this is going :)20:40
heathclearly it's not my specialty20:41
fennhow does dna origami or dna computing contribute to nanomedicine, in your opinion20:41
fenn(whatever nanomedicine is)20:41
fennthe current state of dna computing is calculating the square root of 1520:42
kanzureheath: i suggest picking startup ideas based on traction or market numbers20:42
heathsure20:42
kanzureheath: go read about lean startups or something20:42
heathnanomedicine => drug delivery, but also i think of it as interfacing with the brain somehow20:43
heathmy reasons will never get any less vague20:43
heathtoday20:43
heathre: how does it contribute to nanomeds... a very long time from now, we build stuff using these ideas20:45
heathwe build larger things which could be used for drug delivery? i dunno20:45
kanzurethis is not a very good startup.20:45
kanzuredid you read the startup science transcripts?20:46
heaththat's why i offered to be an intern :)20:46
kanzurehttp://diyhpl.us/wiki/transcripts/startup-science-2012/20:46
kanzurean intern at a startup that you create?20:46
heathhah20:46
heathi haven't read the transcripts, might be something worth looking at though20:47
heathfenn: you making me elaborate makes me feel bad about myself :)20:49
fennit isn't going to get easier than explaining to your friends in a low pressure setting20:51
fenni have lots of ideas about dna origami, just wondering what yours were20:52
heathyou have been thinking on these ideas a lot longer, it's why i was asking earlier "if not dna origami, then what", because i thought you guys had discovered a better way forward20:54
heathi guess we can get some immediate results with synthetic biology even though the yields are low, there aren't debuggers, etc.20:55
heathfrom what i can tell, we get higher yields of the desired produce at the genetic level than the cellular level20:56
fennhigher yields of what?20:56
kanzurebetter way forward for what?20:57
yashgarothimmediate results in what?20:57
fenni assumed he meant toward something resembling drexlerian molecular nanotechnology20:57
heathand if we can pursue this field using techniques borrowed from computer programming, it seems mores tractable20:59

kanzurei think you are more likely to make immediate impact on nanoengineer in clean up duty21:01
kanzurehttps://github.com/kanzure/nanoengineer21:02
fenni tried to do that with conventional engineering where we can see and interact with the machinery21:02
heathso scratch [22:56:13] <heath> from what i can tell, we get higher yields of the desired produce at the genetic level than the cellular level21:02
-!- makoLime [~mako@wireless-nat-7.auckland.ac.nz] has joined ##hplusroadmap21:03
heathi just heard a guy talk about insertion yields in synthetic biology being low and for some reason that translated to "dna based computing has higher yields of THINGS!" :p21:03
heathre: a better way forward, transhumanism, i mean, this is what we're here for right?21:03
fennone thing i've learned is that transhumanism never means the same thing to different people21:04
kanzureinsertion yields in synthetic biology is about dna synthesis and genomic uptake and colony selection, not about dna computing.21:05
fenni guess a dna computer would yield answers?21:05
fennshorter/simpler computations would yield more answers because there would be more processors or more cycles per processor, so the algorithm completes N times more in the alloted reaction time21:08
fennguh english is starting to fail me21:09
fennon PCs we typically don't compute the answer more than once21:09
kanzurei think dna synthesis is a better place to work at for the moment if you are interested in making gains related to dna origami or whatever21:09
fenn"Maybe one day I will improve this. But that day is not today. Today is21:16
fenna day for spitting text out. With God's mercy, I will learn how to21:16
fennfinish big projects. I pray for that ability frequently."21:16
heathi like to think that we can build all sorts of proteins using dnacomp (because i'm tired of typing) which we could assemble into larger structures somehow in some far future21:17
fennwe can already build proteins with dna.. the trick is making sure it folds the way you want21:19

heathnot trying to knock what you are saying, this is a legitimately ignorant question on my part :)22:09
yashgarothok fine, electropherograms refer only to traditional chain-termination sequencing, whereas with illumina and others' high-throughput sequencing you only get the sequence and a quality score for each base22:10
