02:24	pdurbin	mental note to look more closely at https://github.com/blog/1941-organization-approved-applications later
02:26	pdurbin	seems odd that the default under "Third-party application access policy" is "Policy: No restrictions... All applications authorized by organization members have access to [this organization's] data."

12:21	pdurbin	so if you are the owner of an organization on GitHub it seems like it would be a good idea to change the policy from the default ("No restrictions") by clicking "Setup application access restrictions" per https://help.github.com/articles/enabling-third-party-application-restrictions-for-your-organization/
12:21	pdurbin	but here's the weird thing...
12:22	pdurbin	the page that talks about how to return the setting back to the default has this warning:
12:22	pdurbin	"Warning: When you disable third-party application restrictions for your organization, any organization member will automatically authorize application access to the organization's private resources when they approve an application for use in their personal account settings."
12:22	pdurbin	https://help.github.com/articles/disabling-third-party-application-restrictions-for-your-organization/
12:23	pdurbin	seems weird that the default comes with such a stern warning
12:26	pdurbin	The reason this came to my attention is that I read this: http://www.mozillascience.org/the-mozilla-science-lab-has-a-new-website
12:27	pdurbin	'We’ve also added to the “Join” button a social hack for those new to GitHub. When you hit the button, you’ll be prompted to introduce yourself in the project’s “issues” section (essentially a forum but in the project repository).'
12:28	pdurbin	which sounded neat, so I clicked "Join Us" and then "Sign Up via GitHub" at http://www.mozillascience.org
12:30	pdurbin	Then I'm on a GitHub screen that says "Authorize application... Mozilla Science Lab by @mozillascience would like permission to access your account"
12:30	pdurbin	and under that is says "Review permissions... Repositories... Public only"
12:30	pdurbin	(this all seems fine)
12:32	pdurbin	but then it says "Organization access... Organizations determine whether the application can access their data." and there is a list of the organizations that I'm an "owner" of such as the org for this channel: https://github.com/sourcefu
12:32	pdurbin	each of the organizations that I'm an owner of has a green checkmark next to it
12:34	pdurbin	and if you hover over a green checkmark it says "This organization allows the application to access private organization data and modify public organization data."
12:37	pdurbin	I suppose this is GitHub's way of putting this information before the eyes of "owners" of GitHub organizations... how these third party apps are being allowed this access by default.
12:57	pdurbin	for now I left a comment here: https://github.com/mozillascience/site/commit/0456491dbd8627757f85ecf1076f6fb534bdab68#commitcomment-9748672

19:30	pdurbin	Constraint CSS \| GSS - http://gridstylesheets.org/guides/ccss/
19:31	pdurbin	constraint based layouts mentioned at https://cdnify.com/blog/hampton-catlin-sass-haml-genehub/
20:14	pdurbin	also interesting from that podcast is the idea of paying ~$3000 to have your entire genome sequenced. sounds like the file is about 6 GB
