[01:39] Stupid FedEx. They call to tell me my package will be delivered tomorrow and requires a signature, but I won't be home. their online system to reroute the package is "unavailable right now" [02:32] brousch__: welcome [06:30] "Lettuce turnip the beet" [11:16] morning [11:20] Good morning [11:21] everyone ready for existing stuff that won't actually get out into the world day? [11:22] although I guess the Q did make it out alive after all http://www.motorola.com/us/accessories-headphones-speakers/Moto-Stream/moto-stream.html [11:22] http://goo.gl/bp9J01 - Moto Stream by Motorola - A Google Company [11:35] Yeah, that's exactly what I need. :) [11:36] Now it needs to be about half that much. :) [12:18] morning [12:18] Giid nirbubg [12:18] is what I type when my fingers get off-center. [12:21] lol [12:32] .np squeekyhoho [12:32] squeekyhoho's current track - True Hallucination Speak by Cynic on Kindly Bent to Free Us [12:59] qq: What am I missing here: datetime.datetime.strptime("%Y-%m-%d", (datetime.datetime.strftime(datetime.date.today(), "%Y-%m-23"))) [12:59] time data '%Y-%m-%d' does not match format '2014-06-23' [13:10] cmaloney: your args are backwards [13:10] datetime.strptime(start_date[0], '%Y-%m-%d') [13:11] is what I have in Bookie [13:11] moron alert. [13:11] Yeah. [13:11] Just looked at the error message more clearly [13:12] tx [13:18] bah, worst coffee shop discussions ever! [13:21] rick_h_: Worse than the ones at Bean and Leaf [13:21] ? [13:21] 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] 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" [13:22] 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] rick_h_: Oh God, that has to be hell. [13:23] time to turn the music up a bit louder [13:23] hearing loss be damn :) [13:26] heh [13:27] Never mix religion and politics unless there's a driving beat [13:28] .np squeekyhoho [13:28] squeekyhoho's current track - Light by KMFDM on Angst [13:35] rick_h_: burn jesus into your toast and make a big scene [13:44] cmaloney: trick question! you are missing "from datetime import datetime" so that you can write datetime.date.today() [13:45] cmaloney: also: "{:%Y-%m-%d}".format(datetime.now()) [13:45] oh, parse time, nevermind [13:46] cmaloney: can you pip install timelib? [13:46] jrwren: All I want is current month / year with 23 as the date. [13:46] So not sure what that would get me. :) [13:47] timelib.parse('two days ago') [13:47] done [13:47] :p [13:47] lol cheater [13:47] jrwren: Oh that would be awesome. [13:47] i winder of "the twentythird" or "the 23rd" would work [13:47] * jrwren tries [13:48] please to be telling me how to do that for the rest of the month. ;) [13:48] I love timelib [13:48] * cmaloney pops the popcorn [13:48] rest of month: while true; do sleep 1day ; timelib.parse('two days ago') ; done [13:48] yes, I just mixed bash and python. I'm crazy. [13:50] cmaloney: so you want the day of the 23rd of the current month, right? [13:51] Yes [13:55] _23rd = date(date.today().year, date.today().month, 23) [14:07] jrwren: Ah, that may be a better way to do this without the string step [14:08] i like strong types. [14:08] Yeah, me too. [14:08] just cuz python doesn't statically bind them, doesn't mean I can't try :) [14:09] Which is why this didn't sit well with me [14:24] bah, guess I won't be signing up after all http://r.bmark.us/u/d05de6655acb32 [14:31] That's utter bullshit [14:34] Just hte same though I hope more television stations would broadcast their over-the-air signals online [14:34] and more content providers make their shows available online [14:35] ah well. [15:15] what a bad decision. Reading their statement, they basically ignored aero's use of individually assigning antennas one to one to users [15:15] basically saying even though the stream and reception is one to one it's still a 'public' performance [15:21] yea, but it was 6-3 and not just even party lines BS. [15:21] oh well, feel bad for them, cool idea and cool product [15:21] I know of several happy user [15:21] well fox donations do span party lines :) joking.. I don't really think it was influenced. [15:22] I just think it was short sighted.. The dissenting opinion makes more sense to me (obviously biased) [15:23] there's a part at the end that they don't think this ruling will discourage future technologies [15:23] I think I can conceive of ways a one to one transmission/reception being considered public performance would discourage innovations [15:25] Executives at Fox and CBS had suggested that they might stop broadcasting over the air if they lost. [15:25] textbook strongarming [15:27] mrgoodcat: of course they did, why not... worst case you bluffed and got called best case it worked. [15:28] even if broadcast syndication isn't the cash cow it once was, I doubt they'd pull out and let NBC eat their lunch [15:31] it looks like a big part of the decision was the fact that Aereo owns the warehouse with the antennas. [15:31] perhaps if they actually leased the antenna space to customers, instead of renting them use it might have changed the picture [15:31] that seems like a legal nightmare to draft up though [15:32] hah, "I pay rent for 2 square inches of real estate in a building in detroit" [15:32] yeah, I see this as a smackdown of Aero's specific case [15:32] rick_h_: Stranger things have happened. [15:32] I could totally see them running with that [15:33] your subscription is a lease of a dime-shaped area of land and an internet connection [15:33] and you pay "rent" [15:33] What's ridiculous though is the machinations that Aero had to do to even get this smackdown [15:34] yea lots of money involved [15:34] and tons of tiny little antennas [15:34] Honestly the FCC should regard broadcast signals a Public Domain [15:34] And have them try to encrypt their signals. [15:39] 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 [15:40] and with this decision we've cemented even more control [15:41] http://www.lataco.com/taco/they-live-tribute-art [15:41] ^ appropriate [15:41] http://goo.gl/txbDD2 - "They Live" Live in Downtown Los Angeles » L.A.

[16:46] greg-g: and so much tech going to the highest court shows we don't understand the rules any more [16:46] :) [17:48] anybody watching Google I/O? [17:48] no [17:48] I don't watch those kinds of things [17:48] mrgoodcat: yea [17:49] it's my chance to play apple fanboi [17:49] whiz bang announcements are just a fun circus, wake me in 2 months to see if anything actually interesting comes of it [17:49] 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] rick_h_: yeah. [17:50] * greg-g nods [17:50] Plus right now it's all ego stroking. [17:50] also, I'm a mega cynic lately, so, take what I say in that context [17:50] cmaloney: got meeting moved, 6pm dinner? [17:50] rick_h_: Would love yo [17:50] greg-g: it's ok, we all need our anchor :) [17:50] to [17:50] Man, I'm just Mr. Typo today. [17:50] cmaloney: k, meet there? [17:57] Oh geez, the rube goldberg machine at the beginning is humorous. [18:05] rick_h_: anything interesting? [18:05] i can't watch at work [18:05] well i could. but i'm busy today beyond reason [18:11] mrgoodcat: i'm watching. [18:11] rick_h_: you play apple fanboi watching IO ? [18:13] jrwren: I act like one by s/apple/google [18:13] ah, same here. [18:13] i'm not a google fan boi but I am when I watch google IO [18:13] Same here. [18:14] OK, one out of two packages from Amazon delivered. [18:21] does that mean nothing interesting so far? [18:28] i had to step out for a meeting. [18:28] I thought all the L api stuff was interesting. [18:29] I wish they'd just give it a name and stop with the L [18:29] the L stuff is cool, but some of it was stuff that I've had in the motox [18:30] the car stuff will be cool, but not something I'll be able to get my hands on for years [18:30] The chromecast stuff is probably the only thing I'll get/see any time soon [18:30] same here. [18:30] i missed the entire chromecast part :( [18:31] they've built screening into it. You can replicate your entire device on the tv [18:31] YAY! [18:31] showed off using google earth on the phone, and having the display mirroed on the tv [18:31] to show his wife where hawaii was [18:31] err, his daughter [18:31] lol. [18:31] so that's cool to be able to just mirror the screen [18:31] without wires [18:31] bye bye dvd cable [18:32] ios has had that for 3yrs [18:32] i'm glad someone else has it now too [18:32] hopefully that means we can show a movie from my tablet to the tv without an internet connection [18:32] we'll see [18:32] its always like that [18:32] [insert device] has had this feature for [number] years [18:33] mrgoodcat: yeah. [18:33] i'm glad we have all this competition [18:33] apple and google stay pretty competitive in terms of features [18:34] they usually each have a couple things the other doesnt have, but the other always eventually gets it [18:58] 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. [19:09] you see the new gmail api? [19:10] apps will be able to access the contents of your emails... [19:16] That's cool and scary at the same time [19:26] i'm sure there will be some cool functionality [19:26] 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] i didn't read much about it [19:27] rick_h_: and app engine dev. [19:27] it wasn't exciting for the masses, but I thought the dataflow announcement was pretty powerful [19:41] wait... chromebook runs android apps now?!?! that is rather huge [19:47] .np squeekyhoho [19:47] squeekyhoho's current track - Circles Of Defeat by Colosso on Foregone Semblances [20:01] http://www.omgchrome.com/vlc-chromecast-support-coming-android-ios-desktop/ [20:01] http://goo.gl/LwSDIx - 403 Forbidden [20:01] this is pretty cool too [20:16] yay VLC! [20:25] i need to look into the google fit and apple healthkit stuff more [20:30] where's the home automation announcements or was it only the nest works stuff from yesterday? [20:47] krondor: yea, just the stuff from yesterday [20:47] no news on that front
