Visiting Rodeo Lagoon SF Bay Area ... VIGNETTES .. Kinda a middle class SF Bay Area Sunday afternoon, with many 20-something year olds


Ma, John Henry Ed Joan Barbara all,

Hi from Rodeo Lagoon SF Bay Area! Happy day light savings' New Light time.  .

Made a dash 3 times to evade the waves coming in as I walked along the beach's surf line at the end of a 3.5 miles' walk first north up into the hills and then south around the whole lagoon. I think the tide was coming in.

As I got to the end of the beach there were about 7 surfers still in the water, none standing on their boards, waiting for the next wave at 7:10 pm Pacific time, still winter on March 13th. One surfer got out and walked up to the parking area put his board by his vehicle, and went over to hang out with his friends, most with longish hair, about 8 guys. Camaraderie ... 

As I walked further I saw a plump smart raven near the recycling and food supply occasionally cawing. I said hi. It didn't caw back ... don't know how to elicit a caw from a crow.

A woman walked by on a quite cool evening wearing very short white shorts and no jacket  ... Was she showing her legs? ... Could she even be a park service officer?

My car parked next to the hills, above the other cars, but with drive space above me and other highest cars, ...  a car drove by with a very colorfully dressed clown??? in it driving ... a trans person out to drive through Rodeo Lagoon, past the surfer guys ... ? Gaudy!


On the beach, earlier, I saw a bleach blond-haired woman with her partner, early to mid-20s, and a woman friend, jump on him frontwards to hug in happiness and in warm embrace as he responded and turned them 365 degrees around hugging her back. Was friend photographing them? 

Other families with kids on the beach, with very diverse backgrounds ...

Kinda a middle class SF Bay Area Sunday afternoon, with many 20-something year olds.

Hike was nice if solo up through the hills overlooking the Pacific ocean ...



Tweeted this when I first parked, from a traveling scholar's perspective -


So here at Rodeo Lagoon SF Bay w its youth hostel, interesting old buildings, even a visitor center, - internet was off coming in, but back on now - how to access world class online libraries, even from ~200 countries' National Libraries & be able to do world class research NOW?






AND 

So here at Rodeo Lagoon SF Bay- internet was off coming in, but back on now -how to access world class online libraries, even from ~200 countries' National Libraries https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States & be able to do world class research w voice too https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Library_Resources @WorldUnivAndSch?







Now could we find out different library knowledge from talking with a realistic Richard Rorty Avatar Bot compared with a UC BERKELEY history Prof or a Stanford Law Prof Hank Greely avatar bot compared with iterating and ever improving National Libraries' and the smallest wee archives and local library's library resources (or even a Harbin Publications' office library of Harbin's history? ... Or 8 other 'Harbin archives' or libraries?

Fondly, Scott

Hi Ma, John, Henry, Ed, Larry, All, 


Took this thread to the blog space ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/03/chimonanthus-praecox.html ... & can anyone help getting a Harbin Pubs' archive digitized, for machine learning databases, and access from anywhere with internet access ... but not necessarily regarding this #RealisticVirtualHarbin #HashTag ... https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualHarbin?src=hashtag_click ... but perhaps here in Google Street View, 'landing' at the Harbin Gate House ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~) ... and then 'ambling' down the Harbin road '~4 miles' to Middletown CA Harbin Pubs' office ... (and whipping out your smartphone, if there PHYSICALLY, that is ... and photographing a ton of Harbin Pubs, and thus further digitizing them ... easy peasy, easy as pie) ... OR READING THESE PUBLICATIONS IF ONLINE AND INTERESTED IN HARBIN'S CULTURE OF YORE ... and with Google Street View with time slider, that is :) 

(Received too a message from Stanford Mine Pi yesterday - and see below - that leads me to wonder about thinking in terms of Pi ... infinite abundance-wise ... and see too - 
https://twitter.com/MITAthletics/status/1503349979301171206?s=20&t=eQQJf-RKsnH2gQcl1kO-uA) What are information technologies making possible? Virtual Harbin and infinite Pi coin resources, and possibly re immortality too ... re Harvard and MIT professor of Genetics' George Church's video here - https://youtu.be/mztOFAQf8uY (around the 8 minutes' mark) - all highly improbable :)?

In addition to the waves of Rodeo Lagoon, who's getting free money these days, that is mining Pi - https://minepi.com/sgkmac - as this develops in the direction of Pi infinity (the mathematics of Pi get pretty interesting, I'd think:) 

Cheers, 
Scott

Stanford Mine Pi developing to Mainnet Blockchain

Dear Larry, Universitians, and All, 

Greetings and how are you? Happy daylight savings' 'new light.'

a new development with Stanford Mine Pi, which I mine daily (https://minepi.com/sgkmac) ... with about 3322 Pi coin accumulated so far and increasing second by second ... and new information about possibly actually using Pi on the Mainnet blockchain ... and regarding boosting the mining rate, and locking this in or up ... (and also regarding possibly WUaS Corp ending poverty by distributing a single cryptocurrency to most of all 7.9 billion people and in 200 countries, 7139 living languages ... ) and via UBI experiments ... 

Here's the message about this from when I was mining today ...

Configure Lockup Settings

Lock up a portion of your Transferable balance to Mainnet to boost your mining rate. On March 14, 2022, lockup boosts go into effect with your commitment. Lockup settings will become binding upon commitment (meaning lockups cannot be lowered before your first Mainnet transfer). Learn more

1. Lockup percentage

25%

50%

90%

100%

200%

BOOST RATE: × 100%

2. Lockup duration

2 weeks

6 months

1 year

3 years

BOOST RATE: × 200%
Resulting mining rate boost:

+ 532.74%

[= 100% × 200% × log(461)]
You have completed 461 mining sessions so far.
Lockup duration countdowns will begin upon balance transfer to Mainnet. Your previous lockups will affect your overall lockup reward. The lockup design and formula are subject to small changes.
Lockup status: Not committed yet. Commit now to boost your mining rate effective March 14, 2022.

Hmmm (I copied and pasted this screen from my smartphone)

Pi is a little unclear regarding various significances ... 

And this is the second time I've received this invitation from Pi to 'lock up' the Pi Mining rate ... 

Thoughts, questions, ideas, suggestions ... and regarding WUaS Corporation ... and potentially listing Pi this on the Silicon Valley long-term stock exchange? 

Sincerely, Scott
