Red cushion

hi-bye, Ma, and Ciao, as well:)

How are you? Nice to talk with you briefly yesterday. Buy? Too ... What does this mean? ... and now with cryptocurrencies coming into play?

A life partner ... like S.... for talking friendship especially, and connecting in so many ways ?:)

Red cushion was inside again while eating breakfast on the garden patio on the green cushion ... the moisture on the metal chairs - always changing when there's a little rain in the air - less on one of them, which I sat on. (Beautiful day with Golden Gate Bridge views":)

Hi-bye to Canyon 94516 somehow? But buying may not be an option ... which could be even good value! ... after I texted Craig this morning, the little fancy light bulb in my bedside lamp went out (a MIT moment ... with the internet of things even somehow ... ) ... who knows ... time to get a replacement light bulb ... (Could 'buy' mean 'get' here? :) ... and even per the named CEO of the WUaS Corp in Romania, one of whose email addresses is get.julian@ ... :)

Momentous that WUaS can offer PhDs now, kind of as of the past few days ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/03/chagres-national-park-panama.html ... and could WUaS offer a certificate for each course completed along the way to a free-to-students' Bachelor or PhD degree? ... Stanford Iranian Studies' talk in 1 minutes on Experiments with Parliamentary Government in Iran ... Muslims are great! (Taoists might disavow the idea of greatness :) ...

Grandpa Sandy and Granny Brown (Ray) ... where Granny shared Huston Smith's "The Religions of Man" (1959?) book with me (re UUs? ... probably too) ... re his (Huston Smith's) 7 religions in the world ... all regarding also IDENTITY questions (re too "The Power of Identity" - Castells' middle book in his Information Age trilogy).

What are you up to this weekend?

Ciao bella, and love, Scott

Hi Rifai, Partha, Marisol, All,

Regarding digital currencies, and even UBI experiments ... WUaS is planning brainstorming-wise to code for all 7.8 billion people on the planet and therefore in 200 countries ( https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/01/twinpods-123120-see-122320-too-seasons.html ).

Thanks again so much for -

"Ripple and Its Executives Proud to Support America’s Public Schools with $29 Million XRP Donation to DonorsChoose.org"
https://ripple.com/insights/ripple-executives-proud-support-americas-public-schools-29-million-xrp-donation-donorschoose-org/

... and especially regarding the social focus of Ripple here .... (Could UBI experiments for all 7.8 billion people in all 200 countries to alleviate poverty at wUAs parallel this somehow?)

Momentous that WUaS can offer PhDs now, kind of as of the past few days ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/03/chagres-national-park-panama.html ... and in partnership with edX now initially ... And could WUaS offer a certificate for each course completed along the way to a free-to-students' Bachelor or PhD degree? And for MIT DCI cryptocurrencies' courses too ... https://dci.mit.edu/courses ... (I think WUaS has minuted this idea in the open WUaS Monthly Business Meeting 'Minutes' within the past year ... and edX courses initially would make this especially easy ... as WUaS begins to build out in WUaS G Suite for Education with edX's dashboard therein ...)

Stanford Mine Pi - and in Stanford's and Google's so called 'quantum supremacy' even in planning for digital currencies ahead (am not sure what these risks to 'crypto' from 'quantum' are, but starting with language opens a way to inquiring), security and so many issues

Demonstrating Quantum Supremacy

Quantum supremacy: A three minute guide

https://youtu.be/vTYp5Kd9nMA

- seems to be to my thinking a good bet ahead for most of ~200 countries and backed by their central banks, and distributed via the name of UBI experiments too, in some situations. What do you think - about this aspect of Cryptocurrencies, that is legitimacy of a nation states' currency?

Regards, Scott

Hi expanding Reedies' extending, friends, All,

O my goodness, I'm sensing cooperative community engagement from all your good messages (thank you!), and a few unsubscribes! Thank you, and FYI ...

the next OPEN WUaS News and Q&A on M, 3/15/21, at 10 am Pacific Time, and here's the Google Meet information -

And Scottish Gaelic will be taught at World Univ & Sch (and am not sure about degrees yet, or certificates for individual courses taken toward free degrees - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/03/opal-creek-wilderness.html) ... A Scots' Gaelic immersive world where Scots' Gaelic will be spoken too - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForLanguages?src=hashtag_click ? And spoken naturally - with NLP .... ! ... https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scottish_Gaelic_language (planned in Scottish Gaelic)

...

World Univ & Sch's 'thing' (one of them at least, besides MIT OCW-centricity and wiki-ness) is LANGUAGES is some ways, and not only CC-4 MIT OCW's 4 current languages, or edX's 15-20 languages, or Google Translate's ~100 languages, or Wikipedia's 300 (and WUaS is in Wikidata, Wikipedia's "back end" structured knowledge database, not yet interoperable with WUaS's "front end" WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - each a wiki school with wiki subjects, in one of 7117 languages) but potentially, thanks to AI, all 7,117 known living languages (mutual intelligibility is one simple definition of language) ... and in a realistic virtual earth for languages too ... ... as wiki schools for flourishing open teaching and learning ... re further generating cultures of learning ...

Who else is engaging all the great Stanford, Harvard, MIT and related great universities talks online - and with Q&A potential as part of the learning conversation, and esp re the Conference Method of Teaching or Learning (or seminar) ... https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning ? (I am ... and re WUaS too, enjoying esp. Stanford talks, sometimes far-reaching) ... How to generate a flourishing enjoyable learning conversation (conference method?) online now ... and thanks to the information technology revolution? Please share your thoughts here ... and perhaps we can incorporate them into World Univ & Sch ... meet.google.com/abp-tuhw-yxj :)

Reed regards,

Scott
