Dear Prof. Aiken (Alex) and Prof. Emeritus Knuth (Don) who's email I don't have,
President Emeritus Hennessy (John) and Professor Harrington (Bob), and friends, 

Thank you, Don, again for your excellent Christmas Lecture "Dancing Links -- Donald Knuth's Annual Christmas Lecture (Free Live Lecture)" - https://events.stanford.edu/events/815/81510/. (At your Xmas Lecture last year, Don, you kindly signed my actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic book's book mark here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/12/european-herring-gull-stanford-petr.html - which bookmark you may still have as well). Thank you as well.

And thank you, Alex, for your helpful introduction to Don's Christmas Lecture yesterday (as well as your excellent panel moderation at the Stanford Historical Society's "Creating World-Class Computer Science at Stanford: 60 Years of Innovation" which video you'll find here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/05/pelican-creating-world-class-computer.html - with my question which Nils Nilsson kindly replied to. In this same blog entry entitled "Pelican: "Creating World-Class Computer Science at Stanford: 60 Years of Innovation" video (I was at this), Beginnings of WUaS Corporation Mission Statement, "What is Alphabet's mission statement?", Google's Mission, World University and School's Mission statement as parent to WUaS Corporation," you'll find, Prof. Hennessy, Alphabet's Mission Statement at the time (about which I was curious). 

I'm writing, Alex and Don, to inquire about your suggestions for how best to grow CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric World University and School (both wings - both A) non-profit 501 c 3 World University and School, and B) for profit general stock WUaS Press / Corporation ), both planned in ~200 countries' official and main languages for online CC-4 MIT OCW WUaS degrees - Bachelor, Ph.D., law, M.D. as well as I.B. high school - and wiki schools for open teaching and learning in 7,097 living languages.  

In exploring this with Stanford, I did meet two times recently with Jonathan Lai as a Stanford Graduate School of Education staff person/representative to explore developing a coding team for WUaS for both A) World University and School's platform, and B) the WUaS Press / Corp, out of the Stanford GSE, but it  doesn't appear that such a team is emerging after all. While I did begin 4 new WUaS web pages in Google Sites - e.g. https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool/home - as a consequence of our meetings, one main strategic question remains for WUaS about how to tool for machine learning on both wings, the technical coding skills for which I don't have. 
 
I'm attaching, for your information, WUaS's financial reports - for both wings - for this month. 

As Chairs, Alex and Bob, of Stanford Computer Science and Stanford Medicine, and in WUaS seeking, too, to develop online Medical Schools with online teaching hospitals for online clinical care again in each of all ~200 countries' official / main languages (perhaps collaborating with Google's Project Baseline & Project ECHO) and possibly with the New England Journal of Medicine's Continuing Medicine Education (CME) modules as the basis for the first 2 years of online medical schools (again in ~200 countries' official languages), I wonder if you could suggest some Stanford CS graduate students / medical students with coding skills please?

I'm currently seeking a faculty position at Stanford, as World University and School seeks to develop - and also to hire potentially 30 Stanford graduate students to teach sections in group video/Google Hangouts to 100-500 online undergraduate students using MIT OCW and with the MIT faculty in video. For this World Univ & Sch World University and School has applied for a National Science Foundation Grant.

World University seeks to become the Harvard / MIT / Stanford / Oxbridge of the Internet and by accrediting in all ~200 countries' main languages for free-to-students' Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, M.D. and I.B. high school degrees. Stanford would benefit from some fraction of the $46,320 per year per student it costs for tuition to go to Stanford/Harvard/MIT/, reimbursed  to WUaS by countries' and governments' ministries of education around the world - due to the CC-4 MIT OCW licensing +. And Alphabet would benefit from the WUaS Press / Corp's planned for-profit, general stock revenue streams - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html - in all ~200 countries' official languages, and indeed in all 7,097 living languages. 

How might we best follow up on some of these questions, and in particular to develop both WUaS platforms in tooling for machine learning? 

Thank you, and Merry Christmas, as well! 

All the best, Scott




Law Schools at World University and School (planned in main languages in them)










PS

Within Google Sites, I'd like to begin to develop with this 4 column approach - https://www.harvard.edu/ - especially for WUaS's ~12 main areas: 


1 Languages (in all ~8,000+ - each a Uni or Sch with WUaS Universal Translator: https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/WUaS_Universal_Translator)

2 Countries/Nation States with map (in all ~200+ countries, each a Uni or Sch in official/main languages)

3 You at WUaS & Admissions/Registering at WUaS for free, accrediting, best STEM-centric CC OCW, online Bach., Ph.D., Law, M.D. and I.B. degrees

4 Subjects (using SUBJECT TEMPLATE to create new subjects)

5 Courses & Schools

6 Music School at WUaS (planned for all instruments, and for all languages as wiki) 

7 Library Resources (all museums in all languages in a realistic virtual earth - think Google Streetview with time slider)

8 Museums (all museums in all languages in a realistic virtual earth - think Google Streetview with time slider)

9 Hardware Resource Possibilities

10 Educational Software

11 Foundation at WUaS

12 Research (best STEM CC OpenCourseWare-centric - in ~200 countries official languages, and in all 7097 living languages as wiki schools).

How best to begin the "backend" planning for applying / registering / matriculating students in all ~200 countries' official languages - and first with accreditation and via the state of California's Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education ... ie course catalog connected with matriculated students ... and all of this while tooling for machine learning. 

Thank you !

Thank you PROF. ALEXANDER KAPITONOV for your great MIT talk just now https://www.media.mit.edu/events/symposium-on-blockchain-for-robotics/ … (Prof at ITMO Univ in Robotics http://www.blockchainrobotics.org/ ) To https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Robotics  & https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Machine_Learning … in all ~200 https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States … > #RealisticVirtualEarth ~ @neha ~ #RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics ~
 

How best might we communicate further about a realistic virtual earth for robotics and blockchain ledger / modeling? (Think Google Street View with time slider / Maps / Earth / Tensorflow / Blockchain ledger +). 

World University and School is like CC-4 MIT OCW in 5 languages with Wikipedia in ~300 languages seeks to become Harvard / MIT / Stanford / Oxbridge of the internet for online university degrees, including with online law schools in each of all ~200 countries' official languages. 

Greetings Neha and Alexander from the SF Bay Area.

How best might we communicate further about a realistic virtual earth for robotics and blockchain ledger / modeling / networks ? (Am thinking Google Street View with time slider / Maps / Earth / Tensorflow / Blockchain ledger +).

Greetings Neha from the San Francisco Bay Area, and thank you for these great presenters, and this great conference!

I asked/ wrote as well in the Livestream chat: 

Neha & All, what's your thinking about a single cryptocurrency (with blockchain ledger) backed by ~200 central banks (eg post Euro in ~19 out of 28 nation states backed by these central banks)? Thanks.

Might it be possible to end poverty with a single cryptocurrency with blockchain & even a UBI for 7.5 billion people https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/12/greater-coucal-4-billion-people-in.html …

Thank you, Neha - MIT DCI and related blockchain partnering with governments seems like it could be a potentially great idea and re https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States ...
