13:34 🔗 Cameron_D impressive
13:42 🔗 joepie93 Cameron_D: why is there no "upload to IA" button in the r/datahoarder sidebar
13:42 🔗 joepie93 :)
13:44 🔗 Cameron_D I'm considering writing some stuff for the subreddit on web scraping/archiving
13:44 🔗 joepie93 yes!
13:58 🔗 * deathy now has to buy some HDDs ..damn you datahoarder
14:58 🔗 joepie93 hmmmmmm
14:58 🔗 joepie93 this is interesting
14:58 🔗 joepie93 http://gigaom.com/2013/11/05/better-late-than-never-apples-reluctant-entry-to-the-surveillance-debate-and-what-it-means/
14:58 🔗 joepie93 click download in embedded frame -> instant download
14:59 🔗 joepie93 go to standalone scribd page and click download -> loginwall
14:59 🔗 joepie93 looks like there's a workaround for the loginwall then :)
17:29 🔗 M1das_ wut, a pebble announcement?
17:30 🔗 balrog joepie93: http://images.apple.com/pr/pdf/131105reportongovernmentinforequests2.pdf
17:31 🔗 balrog oh, interesting...
17:39 🔗 joepie93 (always fun, accidentally finding a timerwall/loginwall/paywall bypass :D had that before with putlocker)
18:29 🔗 DFJustin http://edition.cnn.com/2011/11/10/world/africa/rhino-extinct-species-report/
18:45 🔗 Lord_Nigh SketchCow: does IA have any plans for building google-labs-style book scanners? I.e. using two gutted 1200dpi scanners mounted together at a right angle and a vacuum scheme to turn pages
19:02 🔗 balrog Lord_Nigh: I discussed this; those are fairly rough on books, especially older ones
19:19 🔗 godane it looks like i can upload again
20:09 🔗 M1das_ balrog: doesnt google cut out the back of the book so they can scan quicker? again, not really nice for the books ;)
20:10 🔗 balrog M1das_: depends (and I agree though I'd do that too for "common" books)
20:11 🔗 M1das_ for common books it's ok, if there are 100+ books available
20:12 🔗 M1das_ i might start scanning some books at home with a simple camera, 2 lights and a some other dandy stuff, have alot of old pre 1800 books here
20:30 🔗 SketchCow Lord_Nigh: No.
20:30 🔗 SketchCow No, that's not happening.
20:34 🔗 phillipsj I worry cheap digital cameras would quickly burn out their flash memory if used as a bulk scanner :P
20:35 🔗 phillipsj Hopefully expensive ones would only wear out replaceable flash memory ;)
20:35 🔗 Baljem that's a slightly unfortunate choice of verb, perhaps!
20:36 🔗 balrog most digital cameras have a RAM buffer and use memory cards for storage...
20:36 🔗 phillipsj oh, right, that.
20:37 🔗 phillipsj The ones I have seen have some built-in memory too. (so you don't need an SD card)
20:38 🔗 phillipsj I can envision the cheap firmware being hard-coded to write to the internal memory before copying to the external media.
21:11 🔗 yipdw phillipsj: a lot of DSLRs do that for write buffering
21:11 🔗 yipdw it's not a matter of cheap vs. good though
21:11 🔗 * yipdw has a 5D mkII and Rebel XTi that are still going along
22:04 🔗 Lord_Nigh http://m.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Internet-Archive-s-S-F-office-damaged-in-fire-4960703.php <- 'when a scanner sparked'? so one of the scanners started the fire? that's surprising...
22:04 🔗 Lord_Nigh given those things are so expensive
22:07 🔗 odie5533 The scanners did not like how they were being used and so revolted.
22:15 🔗 w0rp IOError: [Errno 28] No space left on device
22:15 🔗 w0rp Fuck.
23:10 🔗 phillipsj static electricity + paper?
23:18 🔗 DFJustin lolling https://twitter.com/sriramnrn/status/398175533684383744
23:34 🔗 odie5533 If you built the scanners in a cloud, they never would have caught fire.
23:34 🔗 xmc oh shit
23:36 🔗 odie5533 Plus cloud-based book scanning is a lot more scalable since you can just add extra Amazon EC2 instances whenever you need. What do you mean I can't do everything in the cloud?
23:50 🔗 godane so i'm uploading more tech news today
23:50 🔗 odie5533 godane: tech news?
23:59 🔗 godane its a show from TWiT
