Next: Fork-tailed flycatcher: World Univ and Sch forking into WUaS Co * * * Wikidata office hours today re newly released lexicographical data - and related licensing information : Scott: "Lydia_WMDE - in Wikidata's unfolding relationship with Google (eg Wikipedia/Wikidata is used by Google a lot) - and now potentially re lexicographical data, could you say a little about how you think something like GNMT / Google Translate will use lexicographical data in Wikidata / Wikipedia's 301 languages please - and re CC licensing too?" Lydia: "Scott_WUaS: I don't know :D Anyone can use it for anything. That's why we do this, right? I hope that we will see a lot of new tools being developed by organisations that support small languages," Scott: "algorithmic heaven :)" ... AND ... Scott: "Is WikiCite CC-0 licensed?," Lydia: "WikiCite is a project. The data they add to Wikidata is CC-0."
Previous: Red-cheeked cordon-bleu: This @HarbinBook Twitter feed itself is a form of ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy for WIKI-ADDING resources & re a realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs-think Google Street View with time slider planned with realistic AVATAR BOTS (for medicine), Could we use QUANTUM COMPUTING (eg IBM's new Quantum computing center at NC State-where are Stanford's & Google's?) to map the WHOLE of Galaxy/Universe at atomic/ionic levels & even beginning anew with the trajectory of the Mars' voyage planned in 2030s & for all cells of brains?, Mapping realistic VIRTUAL GALAXIES at ATOMIC & cellular levels too? Ginormous data! THINK 14.5 billion years in XYZ grid (in Google Street View w TIME SLIDER) for earth's galaxy. Would it be best to use QUANTUM COMPUTING to map WHOLE @TomAbelStanford, "Congrats to @TomAbelStanford & Ralf Kaehler from @KIPAC1 whose cosmology visualizations are in #VoyageOfTime," Searched on Google Earth Engine and Google Oceans and related for ALL of our WIKI-ADDING resources, How will the online physical exam be taught eg re Stanford & in each of all ~200 countries' official languages, conceptually in something like @ProjectECHO with Project Baseline, at WUaS's Medical School?

Hi M,

How are you?

Just updated my author's page at Amazon with:

Scott MacLeod was educated at Reed College and the University of California. He's taught "Society and Information Technology" on Harvard's virtual Island for many years where he also teaches anthropology and sociology.

He’s been a bookseller, publisher, professor and university founder, having recently published an actual/virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic book -
http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html - and a book of Haiku~ish Harbin-informed poetry - http://www.scottmacleod.com/HaikuishPoetryBook.html.

He is President of the World University and School (like Wikipedia in 301 languages with best CC STEM-centric OpenCourseWare in 5 languages) - http://worlduniversityandschool.org. He's also the founder of the Academic Press at World University and School - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - planned in all 7,097 living languages with machine translation.

Born in Cambridge, MA, he was brought up on the east and west coasts of the USA, in Switzerland and Scotland, and now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has a particular interest in the anthropology of information technology and counterculture - http://www.scottmacleod.com.

Google Street View is cool ... and where I hope a very fulsome realistic virtual Harbin Hot Springs with avatars will emerge - for actual-virtual comparison. Visit the Harbin Gate here ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg - as a beginning, and add a photo if you happen to have one :)

Looking forward to the Reed College Reunion and selling my recently published books at the Reed College Marketplace ~  http://reunions.reed.edu/marketplace~  http://reunions.reed.edu/marketplace ~

What are you up to today? Seeking here to get on with NSF grant writing!

L, Scott

... and connecting a bit with Andrew about this here ... 
Thanks @andrewlownie for your inspiration to update my author's page at http://amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity… See too https://twitter.com/WUaSPress/status/1000786957817937920… & https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1000787260244086786… & https://twitter.com/sgkmacleod/status/1000787909476155392… Studying at Fettes College, Scotland & playing bagpipes @FettesCollegePB together in '76-77 was fun.

Would be great to explore doing a reading or similar in London/Cambridge for my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" eventually ... since he's a publisher and went to Cambridge. 

How was your day, M?
