Silphium perfoliatum: Sharing some of my poems with Professor Brett Millier (Middlebury, Stanford, Yale) after her inspiring presentation and reading of Adrienne Rich's poetry at Stanford - "Adrienne Rich: A Celebration of Her Poems," * * * Much of my poetry is Harbin Hot Springs-inspired * * * Do you know of any poetry which focuses explicitly on the generation of loving bliss neurophysiology, by any chance? :) * * * "Winding Road Rainbow: Harbin, Wandering & the Poetry of Loving Bliss" and "Haiku~ish: and Other, Loving, Hippy, Harbin Poetry" in the Poetry Press at World University and School (WUaS Press)


Dear Brett,
(Professor Brett Millier of Middlebury College in Vermont
http://www.middlebury.edu/academics/enam/faculty/node/41101),


Thanks so much for your inspiring presentation and reading of Adrienne Rich's poetry at Stanford on May 23rd - "Adrienne Rich: A Celebration of Her Poems" ... https://events.stanford.edu/events/833/83335/ - and very nice to talk with you afterwards. I greatly appreciate your observation that Adrienne Rich's poetry is an "unique lyric voice," and a voice that “demands belief.” I first read Rich's amazing "Diving into the Wreck: Poems 1971-1972" (1973) at Reed College as a student in the early 1980s. And thank you for asking to see 2 or 3 of my poems, after your moving and erudite presentations. Exciting to learn that you write poetry too, and it could be potentially interesting to explore publishing a collection of these in the Poetry Press at World University and School. Would you be open to sharing 2 or 3 poems of yours with me? 

All 3 of my books are Harbin Hot Springs-informed, and inspired too, and my first large "Naked Harbin Ethnography:          
   
Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality & Virtual Harbin" also has a few poems in it, but it is an actual-virtual ethnography (~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~). 


I'm sharing with you 3 poems from my most recent book of poetry, "Winding Road Rainbow: Harbin, Wandering & the Poetry of Loving Bliss" - 

Winding Road … and something like poetry came to me / 12

Do you know of any poetry which focuses explicitly on the generation of loving bliss neurophysiology, by any chance? :)


Both of my poetry books, if you click through the initial pages, were also published in the Poetry Press at World University & School - 

Winding Road Rainbow: Harbin, Wandering & the Poetry of Loving Bliss
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0578435187

Haiku~ish: and Other, Loving, Hippy, Harbin Poetry
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0692049037

And am planning to publish my 3rd book of poetry this autumn as well. Please let me know if you might be interested in publishing in the Poetry Press at World Univ & Sch, Brett. 

It was very nice to hear, meet and talk with you. Thank you.

Best regards, Scott

Three Sisters (Oregon): Stanford Law - 'FREE SPEECH AND THE INTERNET', Dear Stanford / Harvard Professor Niall Ferguson * * * Stanford Law Prof. Doug Melamed and All, These are approximately the questions I asked you after your "The Monopoly Problem" panel: 1 If Google's TensorFlow hypothetically could be coded to deliver a daily stock price for each of all companies that used it in all ~200 countries, 2) And World Univ and Sch seeks too to facilitate via our law schools' faculties teaching about a single cryptocurrency (am following the Director of the MIT DCI, Neha Narula, in these regards, and with regard to Universal Basic Income experiments coding for all 7.5 billion people on planet


Stanford / Harvard Professor Niall Ferguson,

Niall, 

Thanks for your excellent Stanford Law Free Speech panel - https://conferences.law.stanford.edu/free-speech-internet/ - and contributions yesterday, and nice to meet you. Here's the "Custodians of the Internet: PLATFORMS, CONTENT MODERATION, AND THE HIDDEN DECISIONS THAT SHAPE SOCIAL MEDIA" Harvard Law talk by Tarleton Gillespie I mentioned - https://cyber.harvard.edu/events/2018-10-30/custodians-internet - which may help us further see how "moderation should change how we understand what platforms are" and with regard to constitutional questions. 

I've added below too some beginning wiki CC-4 MIT OCW-centric World University and School online law schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School - planned in each of all ~200 countries' main languages where WUaS faculty I hope will be able to teach about questions of free speech, for example.

All the best, 
Scott

Dear Michael, Jenny, Doug, Eugene, John, Glenn, (Niall), Nate, Olivier, Daphne, Barbara, Thomas, and Ted,

Thanks for your excellent Stanford Law Free Speech talks, panels - https://conferences.law.stanford.edu/free-speech-internet/ - and contributions yesterday. To complement your very far-reaching conversation yesterday, here's "Custodians of the Internet: PLATFORMS, CONTENT MODERATION, AND THE HIDDEN DECISIONS THAT SHAPE SOCIAL MEDIA" (Oct 20, 2018), a recent Harvard Law talk by Tarleton Gillespie - https://cyber.harvard.edu/events/2018-10-30/custodians-internet - which may help us further see how content "moderation should change how we understand what platforms are" and with regard to constitutional questions.

Doug and All, 

These are approximately the questions I asked you after your "The Monopoly Problem" panel:

1
If Google's TensorFlow hypothetically could be coded to deliver a daily stock price for each of all companies that used it, and in each of all ~206 countries (per 2016 Olympics) and in their official languages - thinking internationally re anti-trust, free speech and the internet - and if the WUaS Press / Corp could hypothetically, and as an example re other countries, list itself on each of all of these stock exchanges in all countries (that had them, particularly the nascent ones in Africa for example), what implications would there be for anti-trust law for Google TensorFlow Stock Price Generator in America? (The WUaS Press seeks to explore being listed this way on all ~200 stock exchanges, if possible, re learning how this is done). And if Stanford Law faculty / the World University and School online law schools' faculties in each nation states' language could teach courses to companies about how to list their companies on this hypothetical TensorFlow daily stock price generator on all stock exchanges, what implications would that have for Google as a platform re the questions you were all addressing at the Stanford Law "Free Speech and the Internet" conference on Friday and Saturday?

(As a preamble to 2: and in a related vein, at a key coding moment for WUaS, when we'd like to code and make interoperable our "front end" WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School - with our "back end" Wikidata / Wikibase (in Wikipedia's ~300 languages), for example - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8012895 - which is the Q item for Stanford Law School - and see too https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Identifiers) - but focus on planning to code for wiki schools in each all 7,111 known living languages, World University and School would also like to explore coding for all 7.5 billion people on the planet in all ~200 countries. If WUaS could do this, could WUaS also facilitate Universal Basic Income experiments in each of all ~200 countries?)

2
And World University and School seeks too to facilitate via our law schools' faculties teaching about a single cryptocurrency (am following the Director of the MIT DCI, Neha Narula, in these regards - https://twitter.com/neha/status/1132737827282800642) with blockchain ledger backed by some number of all ~200 countries' central banks (am thinking the Euro in 19 out of 28 EU countries, but not yet a digital currency), and even to explore distributing this via Universal Basic Income experiments (much like the state of California's UBI experiment with Stockton California residents, and Finland's - so a state-citizen relationship), - and perhaps via Google Plus (Ted Ulliyot). What implications would this and the above have for 'platform, free speech and the internet questions re Google,' and potentially with regards to Stanford / WUaS Law Faculties teaching the law about this? 

All the best, Scott
P.S.
I explore this ideas further verbally in today's WUaS Live Hangout on Air from about 19:00 minutes forward:

Flying gurnard: Stanford - Launch Event for The Chinese Deathscape Digital Project



Stanford - Launch Event for The Chinese Deathscape Digital Project

Dear Tom, (and David and Glen, whom Tom mentioned as central to this project),

Thanks for your excellent "Launch Event for The Chinese Deathscape Digital Project" - https://events.stanford.edu/events/833/83388/ - and brilliant work and I.T. platform. The question I approximately asked: how a Chinese scholar on your project might add a smartphone photo, say of a map (in Chinese) at the museum of the Xi'an Terracotta Warriors as a kind of mausoleum even, to your platform is interesting potentially for your colleagues and other students who might seek to extend the parameters of your project with time, or come into conversation with it. If such a photographer/scholar/student could also then geo-rectify this, and then subsequently overlay this with other geo-rectified maps and compare, - your data on related projects would also grow significantly with time.  
(For example, with regards to my actual-virtual ethnographic field site with many parallels to your project, I added this 2001 photo of the Harbin gate house around 2009 to Google Street View here - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Harbin+Hot+Springs/@38.7860806,-122.6518315,3a,109.6y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipOR33JEA3qzAchuAOEFPss-U_w6cXPc-OsiNgSE!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipOR33JEA3qzAchuAOEFPss-U_w6cXPc-OsiNgSE%3Dw203-h153-k-no!7i576!8i436!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xde57c3ab0ecaa2c9!8m2!3d38.7860806!4d-122.6518315 - as an example of what could get very involved machine learning-wise if people were many maps, or even adding video of maps in your project). And I'll welcome people to add photos to a realistic virtual Harbin in Google Streetview (outside the Harbin gate, since Harbin doesn't allow photos on property, but also welcome people to add drawings of Harbin's pool area to this realistic virtual Harbin; see ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~).

And in asking after your talk at the podium about even re-conceiving the book, re your comments that the book isn't dead, please see this blog entry - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/12/leaf-re-conceiving-book-printable-on.html).
As we talked about coming down the Rumsey Maps' Center stairs, I'm also interested in facilitating a realistic virtual earth for everything - and particularly for developing a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs for actual-virtual, physical-digital ethnographic comparison, STEM research (including brain research), and at the cellular and atomic levels too, and with regard too to a new social science method I'm calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy. But after hearing your presentation, I'm also curious about a related approach one might newly call historio-wiki-virtual-world-graphy, where people might wiki-add historical data to an emergent realistic virtual earth (am thinking Google Streetview / Maps / Earth / Tensorflow, Translate + and with avatar bots) . What I appreciate much about your approach, Tom, is that you circumscribe your project, platform, map-URL-citation-approach and book project for scholars, as a way to both generate questions, and ask them as well, - but also in a way which is potentially in a network of people you trust (I think - is this correct?). 

And re adding further photos of maps, photos of people and even graves (and even corpses re your Chinese project) and also potentially videos of this, which could conceivably be integrated into the whole realistic virtual earth, here's the Google AI video "Our depth predictions" link I mentioned -


https://twitter.com/GoogleAI/status/1131615568753115136 (with a related Tweet about emergent scholarly approaches to privacy -


https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1131647658815176705 - and in a realistic virtual earth), with many implications for machine learning, privacy and a Google-centric realistic virtual earth.

In what ways might we explore further collaboration re possibly exploring making interoperable your map platform, which seems to be quite Google-centric, with creating a realistic virtual earth for related question-generating and new approaches to historical data and evidence (and re creating a realistic virtual Harbin, and explicitly developing a platform for ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy, and potentially newly for historio-wiki-virtual-world-graphy, which wouldn't interfere with your current great work, but which might eventually provide more helpful data for your projects)? 

(And out of curiosity, how do you conceive of the Information age re the title of your book - "Radical Machines: Chinese in the Information Age" (https://profiles.stanford.edu/thomas-mullaney) and in your upcoming "The Chinese Computer: A Global History of the Information Age" (https://history.stanford.edu/people/tom-mullaney). I'm a bit Manuel Castells' focused in these regards (re a course I teach).

Thank you so much for your great talk and work, and very nice to meet you. (Greetings too David and Glen!). PS: below you'll find an email to Nicole Hu, a brilliant Stanfordian working in a similar space.

All the best, Scott

Hi Nicole Hu, 

Thanks for your excellent talk yesterday. And very nice to meet you after your inspiring Stanford Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders' presentation  - https://events.stanford.edu/events/831/83194. In asking about a realistic virtual earth for geology, with machine learning, and a realistic virtual earth for hydrology, and for atmospheric sciences, I'm wondering too how these will all inter-operate. And how could this best be helpful for cities planning digital mapping for emergency-preparedness? So thanks for your response in the Q&A that a realistic virtual earth for natural sciences is a good idea, and even potentially re:  

14.5 billion years of the universe @ ATOMIC, cellular & street view levels re MODELING a SINGLE #RealisticVirtualEarth #RealisticVirtualUniverse & 3.5 billion years of life with 3-100 million species. Beginning w #PhysicalDigital tele-robotic brain surgery & even re testing in space ships?
https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1121504555840106496 .

Asked in Machine Learning for Cosmology Stanford talk, in seeking to facilitate a #RealisticVirtualUniverse for EVERYTHING, how ML for Physics would interoperate w Chemistry ML, Biology ML. He suggested focusing on ML for Physics, then to 'parameterize' Disciplines' ignoranceshttps://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1119007566816661511
Soft robotics for oceanography COOL! https://twitter.com/Harvard/status/1025039770961903616 … Let's let our students explore, innovate & research further from home with Lego robotics - developing #SoftRobotics & #SoftLegoRobotics, 3D Printers & in a #RealisticVirtualHarbin - @HarbinBook >https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Robotics ~
https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1025043303597625345
See the related #Hashtags above in Twitter for furthering thinking about this. 

Am also interested in exploring how to create a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs (my actual-virtual, ethnographic field site) for physical-digital comparative ethnographic /social science & STEM research, and in particular, such that people and researchers could add their own data (eg photos, video, simulations, etc.) to this, and to a related realistic virtual earth via a new STEM & social science method I'm calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy.

How best too to make realistic virtual Harbin attractive to visit online for soaking especially, like visiting actual Harbin, is a fascinating question, which I'd love to talk further with you about, as well. I think give in your great talk that you'd have great ideas for this.

In developing MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School, with major universities planned for online free-to-students' university/high school degrees in each of all 200 countries' languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States (see too /Subjects) - am curious how faculty and students and STEM researchers could all further help develop this realistic virtual universe.

Here's what I have in mind by a 3D interactive realistic virtual universe / earth and at the atomic / cellular levels in something like Google Street View with TIME SLIDER / Maps / Earth / Translate +++ : Visit the Harbin Hot Springsgate here, and "walk" "4 miles" down the road to "amble" around Middletown, CA: http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~

Am particularly interested in Google Street View's relationship here with BRICK Street View (re Lego bricks) and re Lego Robotics with Scratch 3.0 for developing eventually this realistic virtual earth for robotics and design - and eventually for emergency preparedness. Cities might find great value in this (and re education too).

Thanks again for your brilliant inspiring Stanford entrepreneurial talk.

All the best, Scott

Hey Carla,

Check out the beginning of dancing Lego into virtual reality, machine learning, a realistic virtual earth here -

"Reconstructing scene depth from video with moving subjects can be very challenging. Now there’s a #DeepLearning approach that generates accurate 3D depth maps from ordinary video, even when both camera and subjects are in motion. Learn more at → http://goo.gle/2HxYqCm"


- https://twitter.com/GoogleAI/status/1131615568753115136

Am thinking that these Google video 'depth predictions' will eventually go into Google Streetview with time slider / Earth, and then be usable with Lego Robotics too (re Brick Streetview), both actually and virtually, physically and digitally ...

kinda wild ...

Am wondering about sleeping in my car on a quiet SE Portland street near yours (since World Univ & Sch hasn't become financially operational yet) and showering in the Reed Gym ... do you think there would be any problems with this?

All the best, Scotty

Reconstructing scene depth from video with moving subjects can be very challenging. Now there’s a #DeepLearning approach that generates accurate 3D depth maps from ordinary video, even when both camera and subjects are in motion. Learn more at → http://goo.gle/2HxYqCm

Am thinking that these Google video 'Our depth predictions' will eventually go into Google Streetview with time slider and then be usable with Lego Robotics too ...

kinda wild ...

[Air-L] New book: Privacy and Identity in a Networked Society: Refining Privacy Impact Assessment




Stefan (and AoIR), 

Congratulations on the publication of "Privacy and Identity in a Networked Society. Refining Privacy Impact Assessment" -

Am curious how such questions will inform the development of a realistic virtual earth / universe, and at the cellular and atomic levels too. (Am thinking Google Streetview with time slider / maps / earth / tensor flow and which is also wiki where we could all add our own video into such a realistic virtual earth, and this would become integrated into the whole +). See too this recent "depth prediction" Tweet from Google - https://twitter.com/GoogleAI/status/1131615568753115136 (and in this related blog post - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/05/redtail-sharkminnow-3-books-at-reed.html). 

Check out too the related CC-4 MIT OCW courses here at wiki World Univ & Sch - 



Best regards, Scott
