| cmaloney | time data '%Y-%m-%d' does not match format '2014-06-23' | 12:59 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: your args are backwards | 13:10 |
| rick_h_ | datetime.strptime(start_date[0], '%Y-%m-%d') | 13:10 |

| cmaloney | rick_h_: Worse than the ones at Bean and Leaf | 13:21 |
| cmaloney | ? | 13:21 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: yes, on one side there's some local political drama and they're trying to figure out who said what to who when and what the fallout is going to be and so on | 13:21 |
| rick_h_ | on my other side there's a religious discussion about how "it takes a lot of trust to open oneself to the holy ghost and have man get out of god's plan for man" | 13:21 |
| rick_h_ | and the noise cancelling headphones are helping to dull the drum of the machines, but then frees up the talking to be heard better | 13:22 |

| jrwren | cmaloney: trick question! you are missing "from datetime import datetime" so that you can write datetime.date.today() | 13:44 |
| jrwren | cmaloney: also: "{:%Y-%m-%d}".format(datetime.now()) | 13:45 |
| jrwren | oh, parse time, nevermind | 13:45 |
| jrwren | cmaloney: can you pip install timelib? | 13:46 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: All I want is current month / year with 23 as the date. | 13:46 |
| cmaloney | So not sure what that would get me. :) | 13:46 |
| jrwren | timelib.parse('two days ago') | 13:47 |
| jrwren | done | 13:47 |
| jrwren | :p | 13:47 |
| rick_h_ | lol cheater | 13:47 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: Oh that would be awesome. | 13:47 |
| jrwren | i winder of "the twentythird" or "the 23rd" would work | 13:47 |
| * jrwren tries | 13:47 | |
| cmaloney | please to be telling me how to do that for the rest of the month. ;) | 13:48 |
| jrwren | I love timelib | 13:48 |
| * cmaloney pops the popcorn | 13:48 | |
| jrwren | rest of month: while true; do sleep 1day ; timelib.parse('two days ago') ; done | 13:48 |
| jrwren | yes, I just mixed bash and python. I'm crazy. | 13:48 |
| jrwren | cmaloney: so you want the day of the 23rd of the current month, right? | 13:50 |
| cmaloney | Yes | 13:51 |
| jrwren | _23rd = date(date.today().year, date.today().month, 23) | 13:55 |
| cmaloney | jrwren: Ah, that may be a better way to do this without the string step | 14:07 |
| jrwren | i like strong types. | 14:08 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, me too. | 14:08 |
| jrwren | just cuz python doesn't statically bind them, doesn't mean I can't try :) | 14:08 |
| cmaloney | Which is why this didn't sit well with me | 14:09 |
| rick_h_ | bah, guess I won't be signing up after all http://r.bmark.us/u/d05de6655acb32 | 14:24 |
| cmaloney | That's utter bullshit | 14:31 |
| cmaloney | Just hte same though I hope more television stations would broadcast their over-the-air signals online | 14:34 |
| cmaloney | and more content providers make their shows available online | 14:34 |
| cmaloney | ah well. | 14:35 |
| krondor | what a bad decision. Reading their statement, they basically ignored aero's use of individually assigning antennas one to one to users | 15:15 |
| krondor | basically saying even though the stream and reception is one to one it's still a 'public' performance | 15:15 |
| rick_h_ | yea, but it was 6-3 and not just even party lines BS. | 15:21 |
| rick_h_ | oh well, feel bad for them, cool idea and cool product | 15:21 |
| rick_h_ | I know of several happy user | 15:21 |
| krondor | well fox donations do span party lines :) joking.. I don't really think it was influenced. | 15:21 |
| krondor | I just think it was short sighted.. The dissenting opinion makes more sense to me (obviously biased) | 15:22 |
| krondor | there's a part at the end that they don't think this ruling will discourage future technologies | 15:23 |
| krondor | I think I can conceive of ways a one to one transmission/reception being considered public performance would discourage innovations | 15:23 |
| mrgoodcat | Executives at Fox and CBS had suggested that they might stop broadcasting over the air if they lost. | 15:25 |
| mrgoodcat | textbook strongarming | 15:25 |
| krondor | mrgoodcat: of course they did, why not... worst case you bluffed and got called best case it worked. | 15:27 |
| krondor | even if broadcast syndication isn't the cash cow it once was, I doubt they'd pull out and let NBC eat their lunch | 15:28 |
| krondor | it looks like a big part of the decision was the fact that Aereo owns the warehouse with the antennas. | 15:31 |
| krondor | perhaps if they actually leased the antenna space to customers, instead of renting them use it might have changed the picture | 15:31 |
| krondor | that seems like a legal nightmare to draft up though | 15:31 |
| rick_h_ | hah, "I pay rent for 2 square inches of real estate in a building in detroit" | 15:32 |
| cmaloney | yeah, I see this as a smackdown of Aero's specific case | 15:32 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: Stranger things have happened. | 15:32 |
| cmaloney | I could totally see them running with that | 15:32 |
| cmaloney | your subscription is a lease of a dime-shaped area of land and an internet connection | 15:33 |
| mrgoodcat | and you pay "rent" | 15:33 |
| cmaloney | What's ridiculous though is the machinations that Aero had to do to even get this smackdown | 15:33 |
| mrgoodcat | yea lots of money involved | 15:34 |
| mrgoodcat | and tons of tiny little antennas | 15:34 |
| cmaloney | Honestly the FCC should regard broadcast signals a Public Domain | 15:34 |
| cmaloney | And have them try to encrypt their signals. | 15:34 |
| cmaloney | I find it pretty pathetic that over the years we've ceeded control of the airwaves and control of the public domain to corporate interests | 15:39 |
| cmaloney | and with this decision we've cemented even more control | 15:40 |

| greg-g | too much SCOTUS today | 16:46 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: heh, they have a good marketing dept | 16:46 |
| cmaloney | greg-g: Blame them for pinching off all of their decisions once a quarter. | 16:46 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: and so much tech going to the highest court shows we don't understand the rules any more | 16:46 |
| greg-g | :) | 16:46 |
| mrgoodcat | anybody watching Google I/O? | 17:48 |
| greg-g | no | 17:48 |
| greg-g | I don't watch those kinds of things | 17:48 |
| rick_h_ | mrgoodcat: yea | 17:48 |
| rick_h_ | it's my chance to play apple fanboi | 17:49 |
| greg-g | whiz bang announcements are just a fun circus, wake me in 2 months to see if anything actually interesting comes of it | 17:49 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: +1 this one is really a lot of 'later this summer' and 'later this year'. I seem to recall it being much more 'now' before | 17:49 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: yeah. | 17:49 |
| * greg-g nods | 17:50 | |
| cmaloney | Plus right now it's all ego stroking. | 17:50 |
| greg-g | also, I'm a mega cynic lately, so, take what I say in that context | 17:50 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: got meeting moved, 6pm dinner? | 17:50 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: Would love yo | 17:50 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: it's ok, we all need our anchor :) | 17:50 |
| cmaloney | to | 17:50 |
| cmaloney | Man, I'm just Mr. Typo today. | 17:50 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: k, meet there? | 17:50 |
| cmaloney | Oh geez, the rube goldberg machine at the beginning is humorous. | 17:57 |
| mrgoodcat | rick_h_: anything interesting? | 18:05 |
| mrgoodcat | i can't watch at work | 18:05 |
| mrgoodcat | well i could. but i'm busy today beyond reason | 18:05 |
| jrwren | mrgoodcat: i'm watching. | 18:11 |
| jrwren | rick_h_: you play apple fanboi watching IO ? | 18:11 |
| rick_h_ | jrwren: I act like one by s/apple/google | 18:13 |
| jrwren | ah, same here. | 18:13 |
| jrwren | i'm not a google fan boi but I am when I watch google IO | 18:13 |
| cmaloney | Same here. | 18:13 |
| cmaloney | OK, one out of two packages from Amazon delivered. | 18:14 |
| mrgoodcat | does that mean nothing interesting so far? | 18:21 |
| jrwren | i had to step out for a meeting. | 18:28 |
| jrwren | I thought all the L api stuff was interesting. | 18:28 |
| rick_h_ | I wish they'd just give it a name and stop with the L | 18:29 |
| rick_h_ | the L stuff is cool, but some of it was stuff that I've had in the motox | 18:29 |
| rick_h_ | the car stuff will be cool, but not something I'll be able to get my hands on for years | 18:30 |
| rick_h_ | The chromecast stuff is probably the only thing I'll get/see any time soon | 18:30 |
| jrwren | same here. | 18:30 |
| jrwren | i missed the entire chromecast part :( | 18:30 |
| rick_h_ | they've built screening into it. You can replicate your entire device on the tv | 18:31 |
| jrwren | YAY! | 18:31 |
| rick_h_ | showed off using google earth on the phone, and having the display mirroed on the tv | 18:31 |
| rick_h_ | to show his wife where hawaii was | 18:31 |
| rick_h_ | err, his daughter | 18:31 |
| jrwren | lol. | 18:31 |
| rick_h_ | so that's cool to be able to just mirror the screen | 18:31 |
| rick_h_ | without wires | 18:31 |
| rick_h_ | bye bye dvd cable | 18:31 |
| jrwren | ios has had that for 3yrs | 18:32 |
| jrwren | i'm glad someone else has it now too | 18:32 |
| rick_h_ | hopefully that means we can show a movie from my tablet to the tv without an internet connection | 18:32 |
| rick_h_ | we'll see | 18:32 |
| mrgoodcat | its always like that | 18:32 |
| mrgoodcat | [insert device] has had this feature for [number] years | 18:32 |
| jrwren | mrgoodcat: yeah. | 18:33 |
| jrwren | i'm glad we have all this competition | 18:33 |
| mrgoodcat | apple and google stay pretty competitive in terms of features | 18:33 |
| mrgoodcat | they usually each have a couple things the other doesnt have, but the other always eventually gets it | 18:34 |
| rick_h_ | I think that what it was is that it's all android. Google's IO didn't have the big picture stuff of the home automation, super chrome coolness, glass/etc stuff. It was basically android and tools for android devs. | 18:58 |
| mrgoodcat | you see the new gmail api? | 19:09 |
| mrgoodcat | apps will be able to access the contents of your emails... | 19:10 |
| cmaloney | That's cool and scary at the same time | 19:16 |
| mrgoodcat | i'm sure there will be some cool functionality | 19:26 |
| mrgoodcat | and there has to be some protection, like apps won't be able to see the full text or something like that... not really sure | 19:26 |
| mrgoodcat | i didn't read much about it | 19:26 |
| jrwren | rick_h_: and app engine dev. | 19:27 |
| jrwren | it wasn't exciting for the masses, but I thought the dataflow announcement was pretty powerful | 19:27 |
| jrwren | wait... chromebook runs android apps now?!?! that is rather huge | 19:41 |
