WUaS Websites are Growing World Univ & Sch!


Dear Shahbaz, Prasanth, Larry, Mwende, Sri Lanka WUaS, Peter, Universitians, All, 

Partly in response to your recent questions, and your learning to code, Mwende, in Scratch with CC-4 "CS First with Google at World Univ & Sch" course, - https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/s/en/home - I've done a major update to the World University and School website - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - including now listing 41 Majors and Minors (and thanks to WUaS CFO Larry Viehland for listing the distribution requirements' credit units a while ago esp. (involving getting 120 credit units for a free Bachelor's degree). Thanks too to Peter Bothe for the Logos some time ago as well. You can see more about the WUaS CC-4 and other licensing on this website now too.

PhD students, please feel free to begin studying if this might be of interest to you. If you're interested in a bit more structure, like in the course  "CS First with Google at World Univ & Sch" please let me know, and I'll keep you posted. 

I've also updated the WUaS Educational Services' Bookstores / Cafes, Computer Stores and Robotics' Stores, as well as the Academic Press at World Univ & Sch webpage - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - where you'll find the 3 Lego Robotics' kits that WUaS is an authorized reseller of online and in the USA, as well as the 5 books the WUaS Press has published since 2016. These are not yet translated into any of the other 7,139 known living languages with machine translation, but may be, and from GDocs and with GTranslate, and printed onto both paper, and into a new #wuAsVR hardware format for visiting and interacting in a realistic virtual earth, then piped into, and available from, the Actual-Virtual, Physical-Digital WUaS Bookstores with time.

Am next going to update these World Univ & Sch websites in Google Sites - https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool/ - but since I don't know the Sinhala language in Sri Lanka, I may have to reach out to you further for subsequent translation, Sri Lanka WUaS - https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool/srilanka. Thank you!

Want to share ideas, and regarding your thinking and brainstorming, please reTweet @WorldUnivAndSch or @WUaSPress (and see below for full Twitter feeds) !

Monday WUaS News and Q&As continue at 10am Pacific Time, (and the Bay Area Stammtisch is currently on hold, due to WUaS's Google Meet video conferencing reverting to a premium version).

Can @WorldUnivAndSch offer you a #WUaSCertificateOfCompletion for this FREE CC-4 licensed CS FIRST WITH GOOGLE AT WUaS course ? See below, and Reshma, Narjeet, and Sri Lanka WUaS, can we communicate further about translating this into the 22 official languages in India, as well as into the Sinhala language? Anyone else, who might like to bring a free CC-4 excellent coding course into your language? :)

With very best wishes, Scott

Minutes still to come for 1/15/22 - so please see the 1/15/21 WUaS Agenda & News' until then -
Can @WorldUnivAndSch offer you a #WUaSCertificateOfCompletion for this FREE CC-4 licensed CS FIRST WITH GOOGLE AT WUaS course: https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/s/en/home which is good to go here: https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/course/z33wpz by logging in? Email worlduniversityandschool@gmail.com for info or certificate

Been exploring some longevity genetics' questions further, here too  - and regarding an emerging National Science Foundation grant proposal ... adding chickens to the species' list (in addition to humans, possibly chimpanzees, but not locally), dogs, mice, Drosophila flies) ... regarding developing an Actual-Virtual WUaS outdoor science laboratory 


Scott: 

Hi Sue! Been exploring some longevity genetics' questions further, here too - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/01/california-incense-cedar-culturally.html - and regarding an emerging National Science Foundation grant proposal ... adding chickens to the species' list ... and for fresh eggs too, but don't even know where I'll be living after the lease is up in March 🙂 Fond regards, Scott (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/longevity)



*

Sue: 

Do I gather from this that you want to have some chickens in the next place you live? That is a wonderful suggestion!

I'm getting ready to take another stab at beekeeping, come spring.



*

Scott: 

Maybe chickens, maybe bees, - with a focus though too on the genetics of longevity, actual-virtual, physical-digital (& re Actual-Virtual Harbin Hot Springs' Ethnographic book project ... esp. and in 1 #Realistic Virtual Earth! :)



*

Sue: 

I'd advise chickens and bees. The present moment is all we have. Bees focus on the present moment for the entirety of their six weeks of life. Who knows what chickens think about. Bugs, maybe?

Hey Scotty! I finally have a functioning website! HTTPS://susanclauswriter.wixsite.com



*

Scott: 

:) if a Drosophila fly (a very familiar laboratory insect) lives 90 days, how to add Actual-Virtual genes to help it live 180 days. Bees as companion insect in Canyon to live 12 weeks? ...then what genes - when & how too - to add for Immortality of these?  CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW WEBSITE, Sue!

(just updated World Univ & SCH's two wings -http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html and http://worlduniversityandschool.org ~ :)

Robots to make the Actual-Virtual science lab in Canyon grow and analytically? :)

'homemade robots' ... Not ... NOT me writing their AI :)

Where are you heading with your website? (Some sites you want to come into conversation with?) 

Or wing it from templates with what appears pretty on the page as you create? 



*

Sue: 

I know that science has to grow in all directions at once, but I wish the Have-Nots could enjoy clean water, enough to eat, and adequate health care and education before we worry about how to have the Haves living longer. 🙂



*

Scott: 

Am appreciative of Google Sites and am seeking to develop WUaS's website further professionally there ... Although I don't necessarily want the 'Sites' or 'View' words in URL Google Sites - https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool/ - 



*

Sue: 

I have very low expectations about my website. It's necessary for showing potential literary and illustration agents that I'm not a complete Luddite. Beyond that, I really only need it as a place to put the podcast!



*

Scott:

If WUaS can proceed with this longevity research & via the National Science Foundation ... And even with electronic medical records with Avatar Bots, the focus would be on all 331 million Americans, and not the other nearly 7.9 billion people on planet and not too much on the chickens, bees, dogs, mice or Drosophila fly on or above :) American soil :) 

Cool... Are you having fun playing with it (potentially) and creating? (Am hoping WUaS can jettison the .org too and get a .edu as we professionalize it:)



*

Scott:

Sue-bees! in terms of lab animals for genomics of 3 flying species - if I too decided on bees - for their genetics of FLYING ...  could be great, in addition to Drosophila flies (how to keep these in climate controlled laboratory, and energy wise too for Immortality genetic questions (and see, for example, Harvard and MIT Prof of Genetics' George Church here - "My Theory & The Future Of Aging | Prof George Church Interview Series Episode 1" - https://youtu.be/mztOFAQf8uY at about 8 minutes, for ex.) ... Glad their life spans are relatively short up to this point) and chickens ... Then humans, dogs and mice on the mammal side (all for local extraction of genetic material too .. then to be digitized, and made into virtual reality objects! At cell and molecule levels with Film-To-3d App) re the PHYSICAL, and then all 6 species developing digitally in a realistic virtual earth for genetics (and with avatar bot electronic medical records for humans - and do it yourself gene editing even). May seek to also find access to chimp genetic material for human-chimp close comparison! Focus then on 7 species perhaps ... With a warm pool in what comes after that rusted cattle watering tank! :) Thank you for your visit ❤️ and text message 😊!



*

Scott:


... as well as the genetics or genomics of egg and honey production, and in a realistic virtual earth for avatar bots and genetics, both! ! 🙂

Sue, I find it amazing that World University and School is listed on Google Street View in Canyon - updated 1/19/22

https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1483917347836481538?s=20

(THANKS NORVIG AND HENNESSY?) ...

 It would be great if Stanford could invest in some properties along the ridge next to where you visited me at 670 Ridgecrest Canyon, Sue, too ... And even for developing a Lego Robotics' Institute (thanks to Peter Norvig) ...  and some longevity animal hospital laboratories, including for keeping Drosophila fly, with Stanford staffing, and for a realistic virtual earth for genetics/everything, and even a field site for Actual-Virtual Harbin Hot Springs' Ethnographic book project in East Bay MUD near that rusted tank for water for cattle (and much closer than Harbin too)! ... A California thing? An investment in property in East Bay MUD, a collaboration with Independent OCW.MIT.Edu -centric Work World University and School? :)

Everything else in this thread is great - matching the properties of cash (privacy and user control) in any central bank digital currency is the right approach. But this one statement has issues which is reflective of binary thinking around CBDC system design.

Today, I introduced a bill prohibiting the Fed from issuing a central bank digital currency directly to individuals. Here’s why it matters:

This is misleading all-or-nothing "account vs token" thinking. That if a central bank issues a digital currency to users directly, that means it's acting like a retail commercial bank, which requires customer service and is a huge privacy leak. I don't think this is true at all.

First, the private sector will and should handle customer service and interfaces for users. But we should not force all users to sign up with a financial institution to transact in digital cash. It should work like physical cash does today - you don't need an account to get paid

Unless you want one! And maybe you do for that fancy UI and better customer service.

Second, we can build a digital cash system with strong privacy using techniques already used in cryptocurrencies today, but perhaps requiring new ones to get better scalability and to figure out compliance.

I don't see the point of bothering with central bank digital currency at all if it requires users to access it through a commercial bank, which I hope 
@RepTomEmmer
 isn't proposing. How is that any different than the system we have today?
