• H+ Magazine relaunched at hplusmagazine.com, restoring a major transhumanist media outlet that had been offline.  
• Paris hackerspace /tmp/lab launched “Biohacklab” and published two introductory DIY-biology primers (biohack_101.pdf, biohack_102.pdf) to seed European garage biology.  
• Channel members critiqued Zotero’s client-side scraper architecture and proposed migrating the “translators” to a unified server-side system to improve reliability and integration with the pyscholar open-literature project.  
• Debate over the ISSCR Task Force guidelines that would restrict experimental stem-cell therapies to formal clinical trials after treating only two patients, highlighting tension between medical innovation and safety regulation.  
• Concern was raised that Ginkgo Bioworks’ heavy dependence on BioBrick parts could jeopardize commercial synthetic-biology ventures if the standard biological parts underperform in real-world applications.  
• Ephemerisle, an experimental seasteading festival, was announced; organizers plan to prototype “giant floating hamster balls” and pedal-powered “bike boats,” with details at http://ephemerisle.org/.  
• SketchChair, an open-source parametric chair-design tool that embeds physics simulation directly into the CAD workflow, was showcased at http://gregsaul.co.nz/SketchChair/.  
• Participants concluded that contemporary transhumanism lacks a single “thought leader”: Kurzweil disclaims the label, Max More republishes older work, and Anders Sandberg has pivoted to ethics, while early anarchist/TAZ writings from the Extropians are now deliberately downplayed by their authors.
