# Key Points from IRC Log (March 17, 2014)

* A discussion about the potential advantages of hosting code repositories on Tor networks concluded that while it sounds "cooler," practical use cases might be limited to scenarios involving stolen source code or developing software that might be illegal in certain jurisdictions.

* An article was shared about a color-blind artist who had an "eyeborg" antenna implanted in his skull to "hear" colors, with participants commenting on the unusual appearance of the device.

* Mozilla Science Lab, GitHub, and Figshare were reported to be collaborating on a project to fix citation of code in academia, potentially through a DOI bookmarklet system.

* Tumbleweed Houses (tumbleweedhouses.com) was suggested as an alternative to traditional mobile homes, with participants noting they are smaller but not pre-fabricated.

* A food safety innovation was shared - a patch that gives warnings when food is spoiling, potentially replacing traditional use-by dates.

* A paper on plasma physics was shared and discussed (DOI: 10.1109/TPS.2012.2204278), along with a Nature Biotechnology article.

* A "subtly meta introduction to Browserify" article was shared (daemon.co.za), likely discussing JavaScript module bundling.
