World Univ & Sch's Monday News & Q&A conversation OPEN to YOU and related developments with LightStream, Video Conferencing software and YouTube LiveStream

to Lydia, Larry, Denny, Edward, Juliette, Marian, nicoledgarrison26, Peter

Peter, (Lydia, Larry, Denny and All),

In reply to your email, and developments with LightStream, Video Conferencing software and YouTube LiveStream:

Thanks so SO much for all this helpful current VIDEO CONFERENCING information, Peter. Will stay with LIghtStream for Monday's WUaS News and Q&A with LiveStream -

(for example:

"Aging Reversal, a FIRST Artificial Intelligence Univ? - World Univ & Sch 10 Feb 2020 Q & A and News"

https://youtu.be/aq7iRi9YtyU)

https://www.youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch - for the time being, and potentially for real time CONVERSATIONS. Inviting one guest for an interview, for ex. - with new LIghtStream developments - could be ideal in a way anyway. May head to an OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) configuration eventually - https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/technical-explanation-of-obs-settings.642/ - for video conferencing directly in YouTube - but which will involve a kind of head of IT at WUaS I think.

In a related vein, hopefully a WUaS-edX (founded by Harvard and MIT) collaboration will emerge, and with it a NEW group video conferencing option with academic focus too, and for the Conference Method of Teaching and Learning - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning - and potentially too for a required first year Humanities' 101 (Reed College-informed) undergraduate class. Still seeking ~500 German Abitur and other German high-achieving (WUaS is open) students for (beginning) this autumn in English free-to-students' online Bachelor's degrees based on MIT OCW (https://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm). This would occur potentially via the MITx platform in edX since there are already 205 MIT OCW courses in MITx - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mitx-related-courseware/ and https://ocw.mit.edu/ocw-labs/opencourseware-bundles-for-edx/.

Have you checked out the Minutes from WUaS Monthly Business Meeting on 2/15 - https://www.amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity - beginning with "Eclectus Parrot: Minutes ..." -
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/eclectus-parrot-minutes-for-sat-feb-15.html ?

(Your WUaS Logo is brilliant, by the way - thanks again, and hopefully WUaS will afford other related creative opportunities ahead. Glad too that http://worlduniversityandschool.org is now updatable with a secure port - and check out our WUaS video here too!).

Thoughts about seeking and matriculating ~500 German Abitur students for this autumn (and potentially in a Bachelor's degree class of about 2000 online students?) And thoughts about the very last Minute on the WUaS Corp/Press wing - about seeking 4 new Board members for this for profit general stock company?

Hi Peter,

Looks like LightStream is changing a bit ... https://mailchi.mp/golightstream.com/new-for-our-creator-community?e=6715b15f33 ... to 4 streams per month, newly +. Am wondering and will look into LiveStreaming directly from Youtube even in an unlimited way. Do you know if this might be possible?

Regards,
Scott

to me

Hello Scott,

I got the emails from Lightstream too. BTW, it is NOT 4 streams/month, but 4 hours of streaming/month, it will be watermarked and most important for you only 1 guest for the free Lightstream account. That totally kills it for me and I'm not prepared to pay at least $20/month for the upgrate. For you it might still just be enough when it comes to recording time.

You might want to have a look at StreamYard again. It will also display a logo, allows up to 20 hours/month, up to 10 guests and you have most of the other features for the free StreamYard account. Only drawback is that you lose your cüstom overlay ability, as far as I remember.

To your question about 'direct' YouTube livestreams: No, not really without any additional software (like OBS). They still offer the 'webcam' thing, but that is you in the stream only!

Last option and probably the best solution in the long run, if you don't want to spend any money that is, would still be OBS. That way you can stream directly to YouTube and you also have a lot of flexibility when it comes to overlays, playing video, bringing in guests... Keep in mind, in order to bring in guests, you will need to use Skype, Goggle Hangouts, Zoom or similar!

Here is a very informative YT video about the streaming topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqHZBGKMuKU

Hope this was somewhat helpful,

Peter

Looks like the first primary for the Green Party is in California * And the Green Party of Britain plans to introduce a Universal Basic Income (UBI) of 89 pounds per week by 2025 * Am keeping my eye on those MIT programmers calling out smartphone Apps relying on very young Blockchain ledger voting technologies
Dick, Lucy, Ma, Alden, 
Searched on Howie Hawkins in "Democracy Now" and much Ralph Nader (whom I voted for as Green Presidential candidate too) comes up, as key thinker for the Green Party potentially too -


And in a now for something completely different vein, it looks like the first primary for the Green Party is in California - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Green_Party_presidential_primaries (but it's not entirely clear from this updatable Wikipedia article). And it's the big day of Nov 3rd that counts in this upcoming US presidential election here. (I continue to think that Biden has the best chances of winning on the Democratic side, and found it interesting that he Biden says he was arrested on the way to visit Nelson Mandela - could this mean 'stopped' by security forces at a check point during Apartheid, for ex.? - see, too https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/21/us/politics/biden-south-africa-arrest-mandela.html, and see, too - https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2013/06/17-inspiring-facts-about-nelson-mandela.html and "The 1970s: The Anti-Apartheid Movement's Difficult Decade. The 1970s were a pivotal decade in the Southern African liberation struggle" - https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03057070902919991).

And the Green Party of Britain plans to introduce a Universal Basic Income of 89 pounds per week by 2025 - https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-politics-50439961/green-party-unveils-plan-for-universal-basic-income-by-2025 . As an international party, the Green Party is interesting re US politics too.

Some further thoughts about big November election ahead:

Am keeping my eye on those MIT programmers calling out smartphone Apps relying on very young Blockchain ledger voting technologies e.g. 

"Today, myself and co-authors @jimmykoppel and @djweitzner released a paper discussing a slew of vulnerabilities we found in @voatz, a blockchain voting app that's been used in US federal elections. You can read about it in the @nytimes !" -

https://twitter.com/mspecter/status/1227870800327462912?s=20 

... It seems like similar MIT programmers could be significant in keeping the (ever growing in small ways) computing aspects of voting fair this autumn. I found this above Twitter post on Neha Narula's Twitter feed - https://twitter.com/neha - and she's the Director of the MIT Digital Currency Initiative (and wonder if this Mike Specter is any relation to Arlen Specter a PA US Senator in the 1980s, beginning his term 2 years after my father was Secretary of Health during the TMI nuclear meltdown catastrophe in 1979).   

I looked up Andrew Yang's UBI - Universal Basic Income - recently too, just to see where he brought this conversation in the US presidential Democratic debates - and found the articles below. Seems like digital currencies with blockchain ledger could interrelate with other blockchain ledger systems (such as voting systems) - so am glad MIT and Harvard coders and law schools/centers, for example, are watching these developments.

One question I wonder about here is: if the poor in the US, and around the world, could be freed from poverty in the transition to a single digital currency in many of ~200 countries' official languages - with something off the shelf (off the Google Play Store shelf :) like the Pi cryptocurrency created by Stanford graduates, and with a lightning button for mining it with algorithms, then could that be something Biden, or Elizabeth Warren, could successfully run on?

* * * (And how too to navigate the 'hunters' in the US system too - the would be US assassins, and from both sides of the aisle, is another thing I wonder about, and which the US secret service seems to have had a fairly successful track record with since Kennedy, it seems). So how to keep them away from Pres T, and a possible Dem contender, a Vice Pres J.B. for example? * * *

I'm also curious how to prevent UBI experiments, to end poverty, getting eaten up - for ex. by ginormous health insurance cost rises, in the transition from ObamaCare to new payment approaches for maintaining enrollment in Kaiser Permanente health coverage - and in all ~200 countries around the world, and in their official languages.

What do you think in all these regards?

And for something with more survey data regarding the American people in a sense, here's Lee Rainie's Pew Research Center from today:

The Freedom Dividend

Andrew Yang's UBI problem
Push for universal basic income will outlive Andrew Yang's 2020 presidential campaign

As Andrew Yang drops out, here’s what other 2020 Democrats say about universal basic income

Would Andrew Yang’s UBI Plan Actually Help Women?

Democratic candidate Andrew Yang just promised to give 10 American families $12,000 over a year of 'universal basic income.' Here's how the radical policy plan would actually work.

The math is clear: Universal basic income is a terrible idea

Is Yang Doing More Harm Than Good to the Case for a Universal Basic Income?

Andrew Yang wants to sell you universal basic income. Beware if you have disabilities.

Dick, Lucy, Ma and Alden,

Biden and Warren are putting in a good 2nd and 3rd place showing in Nevada, with 85% of precincts reporting (https://www.reviewjournal.com - glad the US has a great active fairly free press, and here its top 10 papers by circulation - https://www.agilitypr.com/resources/top-media-outlets/top-10-nevada-daily-newspapers-by-circulation/ ):

Dick, Lucy, Ma and Alden, 

And what do you think of this Harvard and MIT Professor of Genetics' George Church 60 Minutes interview where he says that age reversal has been PROVEN in 8 different ways -

https://youtu.be/bnCEIPQFNnk #longevity 
- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/02/supermoon-aging-reversal-first.html - and that he's looking at adding an enzyme genetically back to DNA, which decreases in the aging process?

The prospects of living beyond 122 are increasing, as I see this! 

Fondly, Scotty
