Hi Everyone, 
Hi Everyone, 

Our next CodeX group meeting will be today (May 8), from 1:30p to 2:30p PT, via Zoom - access info below. 

Our guests will be: 

Marie Potel, Founder and CEO of Fair Patterns. Fair Patterns is an AI solution that scans sites and apps, to detect and fix dark patterns at scale. 

Nabiha Khwaja, the co-founders of LawyalTech.  LawyalTech has created the first legal tech gaming platform to train legal professionals, students, and teams in practical technology skills. Their games simulate real legal tools like document automation and contract management through interactive, gamified experiences.

See you then!

💡Consumer Experience and Business Practices:

Greetings from MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch on W 5/7/25 & nice to meet you City of Lakeport colleagues 


Dear Shannon (Delgado), Hilary (Britton), and Victor (Fernandez), in the City of Lakeport,

Very nice to meet you just now, Shannon and Victor in the City of Lakeport offices -  https://www.cityoflakeport.com/departments.php - in the City Council Chamber building, located at 225 Park Street, Lakeport, CA 95453 (and in Google Street View with time slider ... https://www.google.com/maps/@39.043385,-122.9141135,3a,75y,268.74h,90t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1siqDPN1H2wk3pXcpExBQE8w!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fcb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26pitch%3D0%26panoid%3DiqDPN1H2wk3pXcpExBQE8w%26yaw%3D268.74!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDUwNS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D ... where this is where WUaS seeks to create further a #RealisticVirtualEarth and see the #TwitterSphere for #Hashtags) and near the closed Carnegie Library. Who might be the best people to communicate with further about some of the ideas below?

Greetings from MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch, of which I'm the founder, president, CEO, a professor at, and presiding clerk (in the manner of Friends / Quakers).

Just making contact via email, and brainstorming regarding possibly exploring using the Carnegie Library for a WUaS office and to attract prospective WUaS students for free WUaS degrees online from home, and possibly beginning also with WUaS lego robotics' kits for learning through play ... and to matriculate in to WUaS ... as well as for books, Robotics, computers, groceries even, and possibly hospital technologies in a kind of WUaS welcome center too; could Rohi Kumar (and this may be his email address - rk7512388@gmail.com - but I'm not 100% sure he's the one who reads it) even run this as WUaS develops our first WUaS Educational Services' Store, possibly in one room as a start (and then possibly the other brainstorming ideas too below)?

How best to proceed?

Sincerely, best regards, thanks, 
Scott

Asking Gemini AI about the Carnegie Library and when it was built ... 






PS
I may explore calling Kipp Knorr at 707 243 1220 in the future & thanks for his number, and brainstorming even re a sailing program for kids possibly in July and August ... and from the Lakeport Yacht Club docks (if 5-10 small 10 ft? sailboats could be procured somehow too).

Looks like the next LYC meeting is on 5/16/25, 3rd Friday of the month, but I may be back in the SF Bay Area ...

Dear Victor (Fernandez), Shannon (Delgado), Hilary (Britton), and friends in the City of Lakeport, Peter (Norvig, Google AI Director), and Rohit Kumar (in Soda Bay market), 

Greetings.

Great to see and talk with you, Victor (Fernandez), at the Lakshmi restaurant's Grand Opening in downtown Lakeport on May 8th, 2025 - and with members from the Lakeport City of Commerce (like Amanda Martin and Colleen Lee). 

1
As a further followup, In what ways, how best might MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School / the WUaS Educational Services Stores for books, computers, robotics especially Lego Robotics' kits (of which WUaS is an authorized reseller) - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html -groceries + - and think Walmart - begin a flagship physical-digital WUaS Educational Services Store in potentially one room of the closed Carnegie Library and potentially grow out from there. WUaS seeks to grow our WUaS Educational Services' Stores with Walmart software and infrastructure (where Walmart is in about 19 out of 200 countries, and WUaS seeks to develop these in all 200 countries, leaving about 181 further countries to grow in) where the WUaS Educational Services Stores for books, computers, robotics especially Lego Robotics' kits (of which WUaS is an authorized reseller), groceries in the Lakeport Carnegie Library would be the very first. 

1 a
A big part of the WUaS Educational Services Stores for books, computers, robotics especially Lego Robotics' kits (of which WUaS is an authorized reseller) is to reach out to and get WUaS students for free MIT OCW-centric GrowWithGoogleWUaS WUaS degrees from home.


1 b 
And in what ways could Rohit Kumar (above) and Priyanshu and other Indians in Lake county from Haryana India, help grow these WUaS Educational Services' Stores both in Lakeport, and possibly all 58 counties in CAlifornia, and in India - and beginning in August even or similar? 


2
As I mentioned, Victor, at Lakshmi restaurant, I spent my high school years in Pittsburgh PA, and have basically been back to Pgh every Xmas since regarding Carnegie Library thinking, and the origins of Andrew Carnegie's fortune and philanthropy too.  

3
How best to proceed ? 

I found this too - 

"The Lakeport City Council meets in the City Council Chamber, located at 225 Park Street, Lakeport, CA 95453. The meetings are held on the first and third Tuesdays of each month, beginning at 6:00 p.m. The public is invited to attend."

Would this be worth attending, Victor, Shannon, and Hilary? 

Best regards, Great to meet and talk with you, and thank you, 
Scott
Scott GK MacLeod

And please see the 2nd part of this blog post with my initial email to you so far - 


PS
Brainstorming, - 
Walmart software and infrastructure for a very small flagship physical digital WUaS Educational Services Store in the closed Carnegie Library ... and with #GrowWithGoogleWUaS too? 


PPS

PPPS
Some Kipp Knorr, Commodore of the Lakeport Yacht Club, info I found regarding what we talked about re a possible sailing program on the waterfront (and possibly to find WUaS prospective students) -
