Sustainability: Universal Basic Income for all 7.5 billion people as Assistive Technologies - and coding for this re World University and School, "Subduction (Gros Morne, Canada): Blockchain(&Bitcoin) for Health Care for All?, Jonathen Chen, Stanford Professor of Medicine (Programmer too) ...", "Plate tectonics: Blockchain ledger and planning for technical programming - re Stanford, Blockchain ledger data standards for health care sound worth developing, Robotic surgery, Conceptually - like Quickbooks/Multi-Store/TurboTax particularly for their multiple countries' multiple languages ..."


Dear Larry, Dave, and Diana,  

I'd like to introduce you all here. Dave is a Stanford Professor who teaches courses about Assistive Technologies - http://web.stanford.edu/~dljaffe/. Larry is a chemistry professor at Chatham University, in Pittsburgh, PA, - https://www.chatham.edu/physics/facultydetails.cfm?FacultyID=63 - and both the Chair of the Board of a) World University and School and its CFO, - and he's also the acting CFO of the newly emergent b) WUaS Corporation wing of WUaS. A) Non-profit World Univ & Sch just forked with the startup B) for-profit WUaS Corporation). Diana V. Do, MD, is a Professor of Ophthalmology at the Byers Eye Institute, Stanford University School of Medicine - https://profiles.stanford.edu/diana-do. (Stanford Professor Diana Do MD in one of the founding Board members of the new WUaS Corporation).

Dave, I've mentioned both your course which I've attended a few times to Larry, but not to Diana, as well as meeting Ted, the Intuit representative (re the Financial Assistive Technologies of Quickbooks / Multi-store / Turbotax) in your course earlier this year (I've posted my email to you, Dave, from March 13 about this below). 

- Larry, thanks for these interesting Assistive Technologies' resources (below) you just sent. I'll add them as resources to the WUaS Assistive Technologies' wiki subject page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Assistive_Technologies - if possible, which will then emerge in our new wiki - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org - planned for Wikipedia / Wikidata's 295 languages. And at this key moment of WUaS moving from our old WIKIA wiki to this new Miraheze Mediawiki (with Wikidata as a backend), it would be really great to build in all the assistive technologies we can think of, and that are great fits, under the sun.

Dave, World University and School is also currently in communication with Stanford Medicine (including chair B.H. MD) about starting Medical Schools with online Teaching Hospitals in all countries' official languages with the blockchain ledger+ ... http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/08/plate-tectonics-blockchain-ledger-and.html (which is a plan for how this might work - from my blog post from the day before yesterday) ... and as you'll see WUaS is seeking conceptually to build out from Quickbooks / Multi-Store / Turbotax in all countries' official languages as well. Would it be possible for the 4-5 of us (Larry, Dave, Diana, Ted and Scott - or some combination of us)  to talk further together about exploring developing this together please? 

Thank you all.

Sincerely, 
Scott



March 13, 2017:
"Hi Dave, 

Thanks for your email. WUaS also hopes to develop assistive technologies' code in all 7,100 languages, as well as assistive technologies for all kinds of disabilities, both I.T. as well as physical ones. 

In talking with Ted (from Intuit, he said, like you), by whom I was sitting on Tuesday (in Ralf's presentation), I hope WUaS will be able to explore growing out of Intuit Quickbooks + for accounting ... but particularly for our online bookstore in all 7,100 languages, and anticipating bit coin and the block chain, as well as Intuit taxation software (e.g. TurboTax +) in all ~200 countries' main and official languages ... and even for administration of a basic universal income. WUaS also seeks to create CC OCW law schools in all countries, partly for this, and both law students and computer science students will hopefully be able to help code all of this - and re assistive technologies.  In terms of assistive technologies - and WUaS building out of CC MIT OCW (in 7 languages - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/) for online university and high school degrees - https://ocw.mit.edu/ - WUaS would love to explore also building out of Stanford for (our law and) online medical schools with online teaching hospitals (also planned online in all ~200 countries' main and official languages). 

In what ways might we talk further about some of this, if possible please? Ted seems like he knows Intuit fairly well, but gave me the impression that they only had focused on a few tax systems in languages other than English, whereas I have a recollection that they had made a broader foray into tax software, and in other languages, relating to countries' different taxation systems.  

Thank you, Scott"

Dave, 

Thanks again for your email. Re your number 4. - yes, let's explore this further: 

4. That being said, I think it might be a good project - to create assistive technology / disability coursework -
for a student to pursue, especially for the grade school and high school levels.

There are many creative possibilities here - and the potential for extending such students' work on the WUaS wikis into multiple languages is significant. 


Thank you, Scott

Hi Dave, 

Very grateful for their potential foci ... https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/ ... and the wiki side of WUaS is a creative space for experimenting and exploring. The developing language translation software (from MediaWiki and with the emerging Wikidata-Lexeme project) are themselves potential assistive technologies upon which to build. 

Thanks too for your words of caution (which I've heard). I'm very appreciative of Stanford students especially!  

Appreciatively, Scott

Hi Ted (and All), 

I've just received your email address from D.J. at Stanford, and vis-a-vis our meeting one another this March 13 in his course. Thank you, Dave (whom I'm including here, but who will drop out of this particular conversation soon, I think).

I'm writing to follow up on questions of building in financial assistive technologies into World University and School / the WUaS Corporations' upcoming web sites (thinking Quickbooks / Multi-store / Turbotax and in countries' languages) and with both the blockchain ledger/bit coin as well as potentially an universal basic income too (also as financial assistive technologies). See our email conversation below for further details about all of this. What would be the best way to explore some of these questions further. Ted? 

Thank you, and great to meet you at Stanford in March.

Sincerely, Scott

Hi M,

Glad to hear it! I appreciate Cuttyhunk's socialness - and glad you like this too.

Made further contact with Stanford and re an Assistive Technologies' course there this spring where I met a representative from Intuit (wearing an Hawaiian shirt). Intuit makes Quickbooks / Multi-store /
Turbotax, and WUaS would like to build out of these conceptually computer applications to create Financial Assistive Technologies in all countries' official languages, if possible - to help people. The
Stanford Faculty member (and hopefully with Ted, the Intuit representative), has offered to explore with World University and School, I think, creating disability open course ware, and presumably
financially-related too ...

DJ: "I think it might be a good project - to create assistive technology / disability coursework -
for a student to pursue, especially for the grade school and high school levels" ...

... and WUaS is seeking to potentially plan and code for all 7.5 billion people on the planet in all ~200 nation states ... and via a Universal Basic Income too, as a way to help ALL people with a key
financial assistive technology (enough money to live on! ... ) ... so this course, and meeting Ted, and some Stanford students creating coursework in these regards, may be a remarkable way in for WUaS to begin a coding process involving 7.5 billion people (with multiple other ramifications) ... and an opening WUaS has long sought, but didn't happen until yesterday. Glad a new founding Board member in the WUaS Corporation is a Stanford Professor of Medicine, Diana Do (with the same specialty as Dick Robb), and is in on this developing email conversation as well - since it brings Stanford, and the new WUaS Corporation, in more fully. All very momentous to say the least ...

There isn't really the coding infrastructure out there in the world besides Quickbooks / Multi-store / Turbotax (in multiple countries' languages) that I've heard of ... and there isn't really the planning
for major CC MIT OCW-centric universities in all ~200 countries' official languages out there (besides WUaS), and there aren't really plans for online law schools or computer science Ph.D.s in all nation states' official languages (to help with related legal and CS coding) ... so this coming together in the context of Stanford (with its international students), World University and School,  and as a
student project providing and especially creating the service of online financial assistive technologies is wondrous ... And an universal basic income emphasizing the >universal< of 7.5 billion people - coding and database-wise - and building on the block chain ledger / bit coin, with artificial intelligence and machine learning and machine translation, is an amazing coding, information technology, and helping opportunity (and hopefully all ~200 nation states will provide the financial resources for the UBI for all 7.5 billion people) ... (emerging from their tax IDs or social security number equivalents in each of all ~200-250 nation states, and possibly from people's drivers' licenses, and also connected with their smart phones ... and, conceivably, eventually even as part of their bodyminds with a chip or similar ... ).

And then, on top of this, we'll - WUaS and hopefully with Stanford - build out health care information technologies (blockchain ledger and health tokens - ) for online medical schools and online teaching hospitals - all together ... transforming the world for the better ... and creating an enormous number of jobs too.

Anyway that's my news ... time to clean my house (as I develop all of the above further) ... and head to a meeting in the late afternoon with the choir director of an Episcopal Church in Burlingame - looking forward to singing and learning Episcopal hymns (wonder how much overlap there is with the Church of Scotland and Anglican hymns I sang at Fettes College in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1976-77) if this works out - and then potentially to Stanford.

Continuing to explore how generating loving bliss neurophysiology might work learning-wise ... such that (I might generate this frequently and) others might learn this when and as and with the qualities and freedoms they might like ...

Glad you had a nice visit with Sandy, that you had company over, and that the house is winding up for the summer (when do you depart?) ... stay warm ... :)

Thanks for your email, and talk with you soon.

L,
Scott

[tor-talk] Is there any societal use in Bitcoin?

World University and School (which is like Wikipedia in 295 languages with CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC) is taking an all ~200 countries' official languages' approach to developing blockchain / bitcoin ... but planning too for health care data, for example, in the blockchain - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/08/sustainability-universal-basic-income.html - plus an online bookstore / academic press in each of all 7,099 living languages re bitcoin ... and for developing an universal basic income for all 7.5 billion people (with nation states as the basic unit re their law systems and tax systems) - and presumably some of these people will receive this UBI (ethicality-wise) in a bitcoin-like digital currency.

Best,
Scott

Fjord, Norway: Scotland World University and School AND World within a world, Gaming within a realistic virtual earth (creating them too), "#Microsoft gets a little help from #Intel to speed up #deeplearning #AI operations using #FPGA #Stratix10 chips" , To the "Chips - Semiconductors" wiki subject at WUAS


Ross,

Great to talk with you again after Stanford Medicine Grand Rounds today. As I think further about your potential interest in an online course on Scottish literature or Scottish history - it would be great to explore communication with the former chancellor, and your friend from while studying there, at the University of Glasgow in these regards. (Do I have this correct?). While I think you might have some good ideas about the kind of course you might be interested in - and be able to shape
this from a learner's perspective - off the top of my head, I think a kind of Smart History (Khan Academy) conversation approach between 2 knowledgeable Scottish researchers / Ph.D.s / faculty, and interesting speakers, could be fascinating - and toward even a course or two at Scotland World University and School - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Scotland (both for credit and open eventually) - in English and possibly in Scots Gaelic as well. But there are many approaches here, and it's possible that your friend knows of course-long videos for this anyway.

Scotland WUaS will soon be openly editable in this new wiki - wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org - and is planned in English and Scots' Gaelic (and indeed in all Scottish languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning, like Wikipedia in its many languages). And the CC MIT OpenCourseWare will the basis of WUaS's for-credit classes - ocw.mit.edu - and could be translated into Scots if helpful and desired.

I would be very interested in exploring finding someone to head Scotland World University and School.

I could also further potentially explore bringing Edinburgh Professor of Gaelic, Wilson McLeod, into this conversation as well. He's a friend/acquaintance of mine (and an American originally, I think, having gone to Haverford College for undergraduate and Harvard Law School) before Edinburgh.

I talked with one James Tynan at Khan Academy about 3 or 4 years ago. He's originally from Australia, but still works at Khan, and might be a good resource for exploring Smart History (examples - https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/ap-art-history/introduction-ap-arthistory/v/goya-third-may - and - https://www.khanacademy.org/test-prep/sat/sat-reading-writing-practice/new-sat-reading/v/reading-literature-passage) albeit I'm a little hesitant to engage him at this point because World University and School doesn't have any monies whatsoever. But I suspect
there might be a lot of ways to build on these as well.

And I would be very interested in exploring finding someone such as your friend, or someone he knows, to head Scotland World University and School, in aiming for excellence and a flourishing learning conversation - both wiki (editable web pages) and best OpenCourseWare-centric
(emerging out of CC MIT OCW and CC Yale OYC as examples of excellence).

Thank you.

With very best wishes,
Scott

Cuttyhunk Island: Peter Mollo, what architectural software do you use (Or Michiaki Yamada ... Yuki Yamada )?, A REALISTIC virtual earth with TIME SLIDER for history (and planning) - a ginormous idea - is something World University and School/the WUaS Corporation has long been planning (think Google Streetview/Maps/Earth with time slider together with group build-able 3D virtual world software, like OpenSim or SL ... but for realism), A Cuttyhunk Island, MA, Winter House Historical Preservation District?


Peter Mollo, what architectural software do you use (Or Michiaki Yamada ... Yuki Yamada )? :) ... A REALISTIC virtual earth with TIME SLIDER for history (and planning) - a ginormous idea - is something World University and School/the WUaS Corporation has long been planning (think Google Streetview/Maps/Earth with time slider together with group build-able 3D virtual world software, like OpenSim or SL ... but for realism) ... How best to add a possible virtual component to these future of Winter House questions - https://www.facebook.com/groups/winterhouse/ - here? (... recognizing that Oriel's estate could sell Winter House in an instance). There must already be a lot of historic preservation computer modeling software out there, including architecturally (Grant Schenck) - just not integrated into one earth - and open - and especially for what I'm calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-ethnography - e.g. http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy (where we could all add photos and potentially videos of Winter House - architectural plans we made too even - from the past, and patch them all together into an interactive virtual earth - for planning and architecture especially - since it's already possible to add photos to G Streetview, and to do financials in GDocs) - to think/plan/talk this through together further ... as we seem to be doing here, in email and in other communications. Could we bring such software together for exploring creating blueprints / a plan including financials - (and for research / history / too, I wonder?) - like what remodelers do already on Cuttyhunk (Peter Mollo-Christensen? Sarah Mollo-Christensen ) ... Google Streetview for remodeling projects? Peter what architectural software do you use? :)

If Snider is indeed withdrawing his offer then now is the time that the town should adopt a historic preservation district. I know a number of people who supported this project did so out of a fear of losing Winter House. Let's take the momentum and use it to actually address the issues of concern.

*
Grant Schenck This PDF discusses how towns can setup a historic district:

https://www.sec.state.ma.us/mhc/mhcpdf/establishinglocalhistoricdistricts.pdf?fref=gc

*
Deborah Middleton One of the things I suggested to Stewart Young was putting together an online group like this one to gather suggestions from everyone about what they want commercially or non-commercially for the island. I think there are many who have something to contribute who don't go to the Long Range Task Force meetings,

*
Scott MacLeod Harvard Law Professor Emeritus (and sympatico) Charlie Nesson has recently tweeted some about Kialo as a new kind of platform for group decision-making -
https://twitter.com/_eon_/status/901927783068291072 and 
https://twitter.com/MathPatty/status/901888577621118976 and https://twitter.com/KialoHQ/status/893525291972349952 - which could help grow this Winter House conversation very fruitfully.

*
Scott MacLeod I think the idea of a Historical Preservation District / museum / cultural / heritage site would be great - and be excellent and potentially draw visitors in the winter as well (and avoid some of the problems that can arise with hotels / resorts - yet possibly preserve the income potential for even a winter Inn on Cuttyhunk). And any monies would conceivably go to Cuttyhunk.

*
Scott MacLeod What would be a Cuttyhunk islanders' plan (e.g. us?) be to make Winter House financially self-sustainable I wonder? And which ideas in particular, Deb, did you find helpful in FB, and re this email thread per your email below yesterday? 

In terms of possible self-sustaining business plans, brain storming-wise, I see these possibilities: 

a) Resort / Inn, 
b) Country Club (membership), 
c) Museum / heritage site (a Plimoth Plantation even?) 
d) Oriole's estate continues ownership (and with managers like a) Bonnie at Fishing Club or b) Heron and Tam at Avalon), 
e) one family purchases it as summer home (e.g. Porters purchasing the Allen House) 
f) Cuttyhunk Yacht Club and Church receive it as donation as fancy Yacht Club house / hostel for Church fund-raising in winter (with fund to maintain it in perpetuity), as some emergent ideas ... 

One idea I mentioned to David re when Dunvegan Castle on the Isle of Skye needed monies, was John MacLeod of MacLeod's intention to bring in corporations ... putting a big Fuji or Apple sign on the Cuillin Mountains visible to many ... 

And I was amazed that Gus (in the 1980s?) who put his life blood into building the house of his dreams on the point near the Fishing Dock, making it hurricane proof, had to take it down due to the State of Massachusetts' environmental regulations (as I understood this at the time) ... so I have some faith in "process" (democratic, legal, regulatory) and what Cuttyhunkers as a whole want against money-driven ownership interests ... 

We can all probably come up with some other ideas as well in these regards ... 

Scott

 *

Judith Buckeridge That house was moved by George Achille to its current location across the way from the Merriams. After 20 years of sitting on leased land owned by Wilfred and then his family, the house ownership shifted over to the Doran, Mills, Carney family.

 *
Scott MacLeod I think eventually it was a patchwork of heritage trusts throughout the British Isles that helped sustain Dunvegan Castle on the Isle of Skye in the Hebrides in Scotland with monies for massive repairs for an ~800 year old remote structure by the sea (https://twitter.com/scottmacleod)

*
Scott MacLeod The Cuttyhunk Ferry already visits in the winter a couple of times per week, so the Winter House property as an historic district with Inn run by Cuttyhunkers would dovetail with the Ferry as an island business, and perhaps guests could stay many days at Winter House, or the Avalon which is heated (or the Fishing Club?) from Tu-F or Fr-Tu ... 

*
Scott MacLeod Winter House (Tim House?) as Inn for the historically minded - in winter too - Avalon as Inn as artists' colony too, and the Fishing Club for attracting Fishing folk in the shoulder season?

While the "fat lady may have sung" Nancy Wilder (with MS withdrawing his offer) - or? - we don't know what the next Winter House song will be yet, I suppose. And we might be able to write this song, and even sing it ... What I like about the "historic preservation district" idea is the potential for Cuttyhunk to define further this Winter House preservation district "culture" out of Cuttyhunk's own history (while potentially benefitting from Inn income as well with a very sound business plan including for bringing in guests - if Cuttyhunkers want this in the off season) ... instead of a scaled-up resort/hotel defining this "culture" ... And islanders / Cuttyhunkers (the people of Cuttyhunk - Jane Cuttyhunk) will be creating this together into the future (since we've lived it thus far). N'est-ce pas?

Ruth Search Scott, great ideas. Are you able to be a part of the long range planning committee?



Presently, Ruth, getting both wings of a) wiki World University and School off the ground (including the b) new WUaS Corporation wing), teaching an online free open course this autumn on the Information Age - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html - and publishing my 2nd book (of poetry this time, this autumn) are very time-consuming ... but I wonder if there might be some dovetailing possibilities with the new WUaS Corporation (having forked from World Univ & Sch) somehow - and the Cuttyhunk Long Range Planning Committee ... what would you suggest?

Shelly Hunter I would stay a night just because I always wanted to stay a night up there, especially on a windy night. I was on the cleaning crew one year but have not been upstairs. Only cleaned first floor. Too bad someone did not buy it and make it into a small bed and breakfast and restore it. You see things all over new England that people restore and run as bed and breakfast on that show Chronicle.

Beverly Snow In my era, they would have a room for a CYC instructor to stay in the attic. Huge space. I'm not sure if they did that all summer, or for just a few weeks. Nice folks.

Scott MacLeod: Just poked around in Google Maps and found Cuttyhunk - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Cuttyhunk+Island/@41.4206282,-70.9471465,14z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x89e51a728ee3430d:0x383ebb525acfad02!8m2!3d41.4182719!4d-70.9338747 ... Who has added photos here? Wanted to explore adding a video that could come from Cuttyhunk in the 1970s, for example, or even an architectural design I might make of sitting on the ramp of the barn near the schoolhouse with friends in the 1970s (has this changed since then?), and being there, but can't yet seem to add videos or even "builds" from OpenSim / SL to Google Maps / Streetview yet ... Would love too to re-visit the Grove near the Woods' road here near Tower HIll road - just off to the left here -

Scott (Th Aug 31, 2017):

If Cuttyhunkers explore further this "historic preservation district" idea using the guidelines Grant Schenck posted and re the future of Winter House, and if we are further able to do so from within a realistic virtual earth - with time slider - for planning and architectural design especially, I'd like to revisit in this interactive 3D world a) the wall at the corner of Broadway and Tower Hill where teenagers used to hang out in the 1970s, b) this wall at the corner when there was a hole in it, also perhaps in the late '70s/80s, and c) this corner after the wall came down and when Oriel had donated this land to the Cuttyhunk Historical Society and even talk with avatar-bots (like in video games) of each of us there at these different times. (Could we go back, history-wise and talk with the Cuttyhunk School teacher Mrs. Haskell, too, who lived in the front of the house across from this corner - and in front of the Muggsy's 1st Cuttyhunk Store - before Oscar Lodter lived there, and before its current and recent owners? :))
