[23:53:27] <takyon> so the real question is, is Putin really about to attack a NATO member

[02:53:56] <Landon> surely there's some CSS 10.0 magic
[02:37:06] <cmn32480> not sure who thought it up or who implemented it, but I think it is excellent
[02:35:57] <juggs> Would be hard to degrade gracefully - right click, open in new tab - SN is kinda script light
[02:34:35] <cmn32480> interesting idea Landon.... but for a start and the fact that it might require JS or something to make happen, this is pretty excellent.

[02:32:44] <juggs> Yeh, I think that's the discussion at hand, a well written sub should not be rewritten pretty hard just fettled, fleshing out the link only subs makes sense, balancing biased subs makes sense.... but I've not seen any discussion in #editorial on this or in the other place.
[02:32:43] <Landon> ooh
[02:29:54] <cmn32480> and sometimes we are lucky to get the sentence...
[02:29:09] <cmn32480> we rewrite them pretty hard
[02:29:01] <cmn32480> me too
[02:28:55] <juggs> I've seen loads of subs come in as just a sentence and a link
[02:28:53] <cmn32480> Not complaining. I like the feature.
[02:28:07] <juggs> cmn32480, I think the idea was to be open about - "this is what was submitted", so people can make up their own minds about whether the published story represents the sub. i.e. on the majority of stories the eds do a a bunch of work, on some they get minor edits, on some others they de-bias things.

[02:23:25] <BadCoderFinger> Can't please everyone all the time.
[02:23:18] <cmn32480> I think it must be in the code. I edited a bunch last night (for the first time in a while due to stupid RL) and it shows on my stories as well.
[02:22:02] <juggs> A couple of days ago or so. TBH I'm not sure if it's a soycode thing or something editors are adding to each story manually. There's been some recent comment drama about editors "rewriting" submissions and original submitters getting uppity about being re-voiced in their subs yet still attributed.

Highly experimental drugs going from early development stage to "let's give this to people now" stage quite simply because they were going to die a horrible death without it and with it they would perhaps recover or otherwise die that same horrible death.

[01:51:34] <juggs> trialling pre-release drugs.
[01:51:34] <juggs> As time goes by, we move animal trials to organisms in a petri dish whilst still maintaining the level of confidence that the results are transferable. Beyond that, we synthesise what is on the petri dish so we experiment on nothing living. This is progress. But every stage of advancement requires validation that the assumption that the testing environment is applicable when whatever it is is brought to the human sphere. Hence we still have humans
[01:51:29] <SirFinkus> idk, difficult to judge in hindsight
[01:47:59] <juggs> inations and drugs. This is progress.
[01:47:59] <juggs> SirFinkus, what would you rather he had of done? Experimented on mice for the rest of his days? We'd not have eradicated small pox to this day if those early pioneers of vaccination had had to operate under today's regimes and ethical tests. It is because of those earlier advances that we are now able to have confidence in animal trials reflecting human trials. So now we no longer need to experiment on humans for much of the development of new vacc
[01:44:07] <SirFinkus> morality is relative anyway, so I can't really condemn him
[01:43:57] <SirFinkus> just because people were doing worse things doesn't justify it
[01:42:19] <juggs> Hmm, OK lobotomy didn't really become a thing until the early 20th C, similar was being messed with in the latter half of the 19th C.
[01:40:56] <takyon> cash for experiments
[01:40:47] <takyon> humans are meant to be experimented on
[01:34:52] <juggs> This in a time when experimenting on trepanning and frontal lobe lobotomy were being explored, I'd say he was not exactly coming from way out of field with the scope of his experimentation.
[01:31:55] <juggs> tty low risk experiment really :/
[01:31:55] <juggs> from his observations, he believed they ~could~ work. That's what science is, you don't know until it is attempted. He had to test on children as adults had already experienced small pox and either survived and developed immunity naturally or perished a horrible death. The worst outcome of his testing was that the kids would suffer a cow pox infection for no benefit. Cow pox being pretty much non-fatal, for the time it was done, it seems like a pre
[01:26:24] <SirFinkus> Pasteur didn't know that though
[01:24:59] <SirFinkus> absolutely not, vaccines clearly work
[01:24:41] <juggs> oh noooo..... we're not going to derail into anti-vaxxer territory are we? How did we get here? me puts SirFinkus in a portal
[01:23:16] <juggs> he was lambasted in the press at the time. But in hindsight he laid the foundations for what we now know about the value of vaccinations and herd immunity
[01:21:44] <SirFinkus> despite his good intentions
[01:21:35] <SirFinkus> but for context, if the child had developed complications, people would view him as a monster
[01:20:36] <SirFinkus> I acknowledged that
[01:20:30] <SirFinkus> medical experiments on children generally require a rather large amount of scrutiny
[01:20:26] <juggs> Of course. But this was mid 19th century. You can't judge his actions by today's reality
[01:19:50] <SirFinkus> that shit wouldn't fly today, and there would be outrage
[01:18:46] <juggs> SirFinkus, how is it "off" to give a kid a dose of cow pox that gives relatively mild symptoms it that then makes said kid resistant to the then prevalent small pox which was typically fatal? Seems like the right thing to do - a choice between a mild fever for a week or two or near certain death.
[01:16:36] <SirFinkus> so it looks like 5 people who showed symptoms of rabies have survived it
[01:15:59] <SirFinkus> ahh, yeah, asymptomatic and you can vaccinate them

[01:14:42] <takyon> http://en.wikipedia.org
[01:13:59] <SirFinkus> the number of survivors is still in the single digits
[01:13:44] <SirFinkus> once you have symptoms, you're fucked
[01:13:33] <SirFinkus> I doubt he saved a kid from rabies
[01:13:22] <SirFinkus> true, but it seems off
[01:13:21] <takyon> have to look it up real quick
[01:13:18] <takyon> there's a weird story with the kid he saved from rabies
[01:12:54] <juggs> not sure how else testing would have been done in those days
[01:11:11] <SirFinkus> hard to make moral judgements given the time period though
[01:10:49] <SirFinkus> testing vaccines on children and such
[01:10:43] <SirFinkus> well, he was kind of dick too
[01:10:27] <takyon> Louis Pasteur was good
[01:10:14] <juggs> it's a wonder any of us manages to survive our fist birthday really.... oh wait, no it isn't, we have highly evolved immune systems to deal with the vast majority of this crud :D
[01:09:42] <SirFinkus> apparently there's a sweet spot for the particle size
[01:09:33] <SirFinkus> most of the weaponization is to get it to float in the air and get deep in your lungs
[01:09:08] <SirFinkus> it's just uncommon because it's a ground thing
[01:08:56] <SirFinkus> you can breathe it too
[01:08:47] <juggs> another of those ones that only infects via an open wound
[01:08:43] <SirFinkus> in any case, we're surely all on a watchlist now
[01:08:19] <SirFinkus> probably similar
[01:07:37] <juggs> Sounds like tetanus really - that's everywhere in soil and is a nasty but rare disease to contract.
[01:06:37] <SirFinkus> ahh, thought it was a farming community
[01:06:04] <SirFinkus> then farmers get it if it gets in cuts or if they eat the tainted meat
[01:05:58] <juggs> Porton Down is a military base that researches military applications of virulent diseases and toxins. People protest it, but you need to know what is possible offensively to be able to muster a defence should an opposing force deploy such a thing. Necessary evil I would class it as.
[01:05:37] <SirFinkus> the spores lie dormant in the soil and infect livestock that eat them iirc
[01:03:39] <SirFinkus> didn't ask if any of his cattle ever got it, but it was common enough that it was on his "list of possible problems"
[01:03:08] <SirFinkus> it's common enough that a family member who raises cattle knows about it and the symptoms and stuff
[01:01:54] <juggs> I'm sure the UK would have it in various forms, most likely at Porton Down
[01:01:02] <SirFinkus> I like him more and more now
[01:00:56] <SirFinkus> hmm, apparently Louis Pasteur also studied fermentation

[00:59:21] <SirFinkus> http://en.wikipedia.org
[00:58:26] <SirFinkus> nope
[00:58:23] <takyon> isn't that cowpox
[00:58:15] <SirFinkus> cows and sheep get it all the time
[00:58:09] <takyon> well that's what I mean
[00:57:58] <SirFinkus> yes
[00:57:56] <SirFinkus> it's not a matter of having it, it's a matter of weaponizing it
[00:57:55] <takyon> you sure
[00:57:42] <SirFinkus> everyone
[00:57:38] <takyon> does North Korea have it?
[00:57:34] <takyon> who has anthrax other than US and Russia
[00:56:51] <SirFinkus> probably just agricultural workers and soldiers and the like
[00:56:28] <SirFinkus> iirc, the anthrax vaccine is rather "high risk" so they don't give it to humans much
[00:55:49] <juggs> there*
[00:55:37] <juggs> I assume inactivated anthrax is routinely used for treatment / inoculation, south korea wanted some and as it's a largely controlled disease shipping it their via a military air base would be a sensible thing to do to maintain control.
[00:54:39] <takyon> or not at all
[00:54:33] <takyon> Craig Venter has made at least one synthetic organism from a DNA sequence, so it's just a matter of storing the DNA sequence and making it into life as necessary
[00:53:45] <SirFinkus> unless it's weaponized
[00:53:37] <SirFinkus> a rather nasty one, but not super dangerous if you aren't handling livestock
[00:53:34] <takyon> call DNA synthesis a future proofing thing
[00:53:12] <SirFinkus> it's a rather common agricultural disease
[00:52:45] <juggs> seems so
[00:52:36] <SirFinkus> the only reason it's being reported is because "anthrax" is a scary word
[00:51:55] <SirFinkus> it's literally a non-story

[00:35:33] * juggs clicks on comments to see the very samer question as the 1st comment :D
[00:35:25] <takyon> is it a mistake to give the gift of life
[00:34:59] <juggs> yah, by "mistake" I was referring to the mistake made in shipping live samples rather than a mistake in the summary.
[00:33:17] <takyon> oh I thought you meant in the summary
[00:33:00] <takyon> what is the mistake made
[00:31:41] <takyon> all you need is the DNA sequences in order to reproduce it on future synthesis machines for study
[00:31:22] <takyon> should anthrax samples exist at all
[00:30:21] <juggs> OK - on that Antrax story. Leaving the mistake made aside, why would the US military be sending even inactivated anthrax to an air base in South Korea? :/
[00:28:58] <takyon> I already wrote an Android M submission. someone should do the whole conference
[00:28:40] <takyon> faeces worked on-topic into every summary
[00:28:01] <SirFinkus> admins might "catch feces" if it isn't fixed

[00:27:54] <takyon> http://www.tomshardware.com
[00:26:58] <takyon> yeah it doesn't catch faeces at all, just feces: http://puu.sh
[00:25:36] <takyon> let me check
[00:25:33] <takyon> didn't try
[00:24:37] <juggs> Does it catch faeces ? As in a e as opposed to the ae char?
[00:22:07] <takyon> "too smelly to submit"
[00:22:01] <takyon> yeah the filter error says
[00:21:49] <SirFinkus> really? what a shitty thing to block
[00:21:27] <takyon> so I used the "ae" unicode character
[00:21:18] <takyon> you can't submit a story with the word "feces"
[00:20:24] <juggs> Even if it was in my bedroom, you'd just hear snoring :D
[00:20:06] <juggs> It really does have a piece of insulting tape over it and you would have heard nothing as it's not in my bedroom :D
[00:19:28] <SirFinkus> and the sound of course
[00:19:10] <SirFinkus> I just turned on infared
[00:19:04] <juggs> I thought you were meaning to say you accessed my webcam :D
[00:19:03] <SirFinkus> oh, that
[00:18:45] <juggs> * SirFinkus spearphished juggs with portal
[00:18:45] <juggs> * SirFinkus turns on the webcams
[00:16:50] <SirFinkus> ?
[00:10:12] <juggs> SirFinkus, how did the back of that piece of insulation tape entertain you? :P
