| PCLine_ | Hello | 00:40 |

| dzho | huh. I guess they do describe themselves as a "start-up" http://centerforopenscience.org/ | 17:37 |
| jenni | [ COS | Home ] - https://j.mp/1ph2W8W | 17:37 |
| dzho | although "non-profit start-up" seems a little oxymoronic to me. | 17:38 |
| jrgifford | Hey, I was/is part of a non-profit startup | 19:04 |
| jrgifford | core product is non-profit, the data that comes out of it is what we sell to research institutions | 19:04 |
| jrgifford | or at least, that was the plan | 19:04 |
| * skellat wonders if a Form 13909-A is needed about non-profit status: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f13909.pdf | 19:11 | |
| skellat | Yeesh, the dividing line between commercial activity and non-commercial activity keeps getting weirder and weirder as days go by | 19:13 |
| skellat | From climagic on Twitter, synthesize your own busy signal: play -n synth sine 480 sine 620 remix 1-2 fade 0 0.5 delay 0.5 repeat 5 | 19:21 |
| jrgifford | skellat: well, we were a for-profit entity | 19:24 |
| jrgifford | however, we were going to operate in a very non-profit-like fashion | 19:24 |
| skellat | Yeah | 19:24 |
| skellat | That's what the law doesn't really play nice with | 19:24 |
| jrgifford | because otherwise (the theory went) we'd scare anyone looking to invest in the idea | 19:24 |
| skellat | I don't doubt it | 19:25 |
| jrgifford | anyway, the idea didn't go anywhere | 19:25 |
| skellat | Having the binary profit/non-profit split is not exactly the best thing for ordering the business world at times | 19:25 |
| jrgifford | yeah | 19:25 |
