Dear Randy (Stanford Professor of Medicine, who also went to Reed College),
https://profiles.stanford.edu/randall-stafford

Thanks for your great Stanford Grand Rounds' talk today - http://medicinecalendars.stanford.edu/event/medicine-grand-rounds-battling-hypertension-guidelines/ - and great to talk with you afterward.

As I asked afterward, I'm curious how Project Baseline's focus on high blood pressure and hypertension research re future data generation will emerge in a realistic virtual earth, with avatar bots (potentially for all species and especially all organisms), for new/different kinds of knowledge representation - and for hypertension risk reduction; Think Google Streetview / Maps / Earth with TIME SLIDER married conceptually with OpenSim/Second Life for group build-ability, but realistic, with species' AVATAR BOTS - and at the cellular and atomic levels too.  (Re Project Baseline, see, too - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/11/mesic-habitat-stanford-surfacing-human.html).

In a related vein, I'd like to develop CC MIT OCW-centric (in 7 languages) World University and School's online Medical Schools and online teaching hospitals in all ~200 countries' official languages with Project Baseline, and ideally with Stanford Medicine OpenCourseWare to be developed.

Here's the very beginnings of online World_University_Medical_School (s) at WUaS - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - and the online teaching hospitals at WUaS - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Hospital - again, both planned in all ~200 countries' official languages.

In asking about a cryptocurrency with blockchain and with an Universal Basic Income for 7.5 billion people, and re your response, it would be fascinating to focus clinical trials planned in all 7,099 living languages with this resource - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Clinical_Trials_at_WUaS_(for_all_languages) . Think of these WUaS Wikia wiki pages as blueprints, which will emerge newly here in our brand new Miraheze Mediawiki - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - in all countries' official languages, with Wikidata (Wikipedia's database for its 358 languages) as a backend. (Google Education is already a WUaS platform as well).

And per my other question, could WUaS focus such clinical trials on hypertension reversal, and based on lifestyle changes studying large sample sizes of peoples in a wide variety of regions - and even re this realistic virtual earth (for focusing lifestyle and behavioral changes too)? Forward to BF Skinner, with a STEM SF Bay Area / Reed College / information technology trajectory! :)



Have received an invitation to give a Stanford Medicine X talk in late April 2018.

Best regards,
Scott

Five Technologies That Will Rock Your World

Hi WUaS Corp Team Members,, 

To give you an idea of where we are with our developing WUaS Miraheze Mediawiki platform, with Wikidata as a developing backend (planned in all Wikipedia's 358 languages), the IRC (internet relay chat) today with Wikidata / Wikimedia engineers / developers was about user names from a technical perspective - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T179832 .  

I asked, and this communication unfolded: 

[12:09] <Scott_WUaS> (In what ways might this RFC address importing different names from each of all ~200 countries official main languages, - perhaps drawing on Wikimedia Foundation related databases and communities ?)

12:10] <anomie> Scott_WUaS: I don't understand your question.

[12:12] <Scott_WUaS> (anomie: Tim, Daniel and Bryan invited me to this IRC - and perhaps also re - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - where WUaS donated itself to Wikidata in 2015 and has this new Miraheze Mediawiki thanks to that - so I'm wondering about user names in these regards too).

[12:14] <DanielK_WMDE_> Scott_WUaS: i18n does nto seem to be a concern relevant to this RFC. User names from imports will continue to support all scripts that user names regularly do.

[12:14] <anomie> Scott_WUaS: If edits were actually imported using Special:Import, this proposal affects the user names that the edits would be attributed to. If data is going to be manually entered, this proposal isn't going to affect that.

[12:14] <Scott_WUaS> Thanks, DanielK_WMDE_ and anomie

[12:16] <Scott_WUaS> WUaS in Mediawiki / Wikidata is also anticipating usernames in all 7,000 languages, mentioned on the Wikimedia 2030 panel this August with Katherine Maher and Magnus Manske - and I wonder about today's user names' focus in these regards, as well.

[12:19] <Scott_WUaS> (... and even re WUaS's planning for user names for an Universal Basic Income for all 7.5 billion people with cryptocurrency and the blockchain ... conceptually )

[12:21] <anomie> Scott_WUaS: It seems like you're more concerned with what scripts are allowed in usernames than anything this meeting is about. FYI, MediaWiki allows anything that can be represented in UTF-8.

[12:21] <Scott_WUaS> Thanks, anomie


So I'm glad WUaS / I was specifically invited to this meeting by Tim Starling and re planning for You_at_World_University - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/You_at_World_University (a kind of blueprint) - even for all 7.5 billion people, and glad too this conversation made it into this Wikimedia transcript for others to read. 

You_at_World_University will also be especially for A) matriculated and registered students at World Univ & Sch (on the non-profit 501 c 3 WUaS CC-4 MIT OCW-centric side) in all 200 countries' official languages for free CC OCW degrees ... as well as for B) the for-profit general stock company WUaS Corp's bookstore / academic press with machine translation with the Wikisource CC-0 commercial side / human resources ( https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html ). 

WUaS Monthly Business Meeting meets this Saturday at 9am PT. 

Sincerely, Scott
