Scotty,
Will you be in the DC area during the holiday period? Please let us know.

Hi Pin, Tym, David and All,
Nice to get your email, Pin!
It looks like my mother and I will get to DC in the late afternoon on Thursday, 12/26/19, and be staying at Days Inn in NW DC, close to where my 2nd cousin, Karen Leighty and family, live, and with whom we'll do much in DC. Pin - a possible visit (lunch, tea, dinner?) in Baltimore on our way back on Sunday the 29th (with Mr. and Mrs. Mazumdar, Marti and Pat and families too if also in the Chesapeake Bay area) - or meet in DC, before?
David, and Tym, get together on Fri, the 27th, or Sat, the 28th, and possibly re multiple museum visits together, and other urban adventuring-forth in DC too, and with families? (David - a visit to Sidwell Friends' Meeting House, for example - might there even be a cafe there which could be open over the Christmas holidays?:)
Looking forward to seeing you! :)
With very best wishes, and Season's Greetings (holiday letter to come)!
Scotty
PS
Here's the 'Jacques Lacan MD' blog label (which is fairly new) per this email thread
- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Jacques%20Lacan%20MD
And here too is the beginning 'Psychoanalysis' wiki subject, without courses yet (or avatar bot psychoanalysts for that matter), at World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Psychoanalysis (see, too, the /Psychiatry (MD), /Psychotherapy and /Psychology wiki subjects, not yet with much CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare) - and planned in all ~200 countries' official / main languages eventually.
PPS
Next book, 4th book, coming out any day now: "To the Dance or the Pools? ~ Virtually! How different it is to soak at Harbin Hot Springs, than to realize it in virtual reality" and here's a draft of one the closing poems, with the same name, and with a focus on consciousness too -

Chris, Aleš, Markus, Denny, Lydia and All,
Magnus Sälgö just connected with me again in Telegram (see below) re SINGLE family tree questions in WikiTree, presumably for 7.5 billion people on the planet, and I wanted to share this with you, as well as let you know why else World Univ & Sch is seeking to develop, brainstorming-wise, with 7.5 billion people. I'm sorry that I don't know Bayesian statistics in these regards>
WUaS is seeking to plan for, brainstorming-wise, coding for all 7.5 billion people for the following reasons:
All 7.5 billion people, each a Wikidata Q-item number (or PIN in the Wikidata ecosystem or similar) for
i) wiki Universitians in 7,111 known living languages, and matriculated students in all ~200 countries,
ii) Avatar Bot Electronic Medical Records, with genetic therapies, and for molecular tele robotic surgery, for ex.,
iii) Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments (and to alleviate poverty), and to DISTRIBUTE a single cryptocurrency backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks (where the Euro is in 19 out of 28 EU countries, and backed by their central banks in one way or another) ... and potentially with UBI experiment recipients able, for example, to mine the "Mine Pi" cryptocurrency (as a mineable single cryptocurrency), developed by Stanford graduates, by clicking on the 'lightning button' brainstorming-wise. (See, too, European Central Bank head, Christine Lagarde here -

iv) a single family tree for genealogy research as in WikiTree (https://www.wikitree.com, and see too World Family Tree - https://www.geni.com/worldfamilytree), and for aggregating DNA samples too (see item 2 again).
(See, too, the WUaS Annual Meetings' Minutes https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/11/arabian-sand-gazelle-minutes-for-annual.html )
Magnus is raising quality and "verifiable in reliable sources" questions re approximately 600,000 entries that were recently added to WikiTree, and how bots didn't work out very well.
I'm including Peter Norvig here too since he may have great knowledge about how to explore proceeding with single WikiTree family tree questions with genetic data - and for all 7.5 billion people on planet earth, as well as re the above WUaS questions. Peter, you're a Bayesian statistician, aren't you? Whom else? Markus?
Thoughts, ideas, questions, clarifications ... ? Thank you.
Best,
Scott

Thanks, Magnus - From WikiTree - https://www.wikitree.com/ - "Welcome to The Free Family Tree, growing stronger since 2008.
Together we're growing an accurate single family tree using DNA and traditional genealogical sources" ... Am curious how WikiTree is planning for a SINGLE family tree re dealing with large amounts of data (which machine learning thrives on), based on their history since '08. About 600,000 entries of 7.5 billion people on the planet is .008 %, and this seems like helpful quantification re aiming for 7.5 billion people in a single family tree, but I don't know Bayesian statistics which seems like it could help further significantly - and potentially with issues of verifiability esp. Mathematics can clear up messes, - especially if museum and university peoples could help with this. World Univ & Sch which donated itself to Wikidata in 2015 and received WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki as a consequence in 2017 aims for 7.5 billion people, each a Wikidata Q-item # (or similarly named, such as PIN - like Personal Identification Number in the Wikidata system) for 4 reasons initially (see: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/11/arabian-sand-gazelle-minutes-for-annual.html). Will email that thread from a few weeks ago about all of this. Tack! Magnus

Hi
Here you can read in WIkiTree the frustration people feel when someone in WIkidata start add all people in a familytree that has bad quality

The creator of WIkidata spoke yesterday and said
""explains that Wikidata, like Wikipedia, aims not to decide what is true but to share what is verifiable in reliable sources."
"
your case with "all people" will not satisfy "verifiable in reliable sources"—> you ask for a mess.....

do physical Bitcoin coins access web?
Without internet, there is no connection to the blockchain to validate the transaction. However transaction can be done offline, by giving the private keys of a bitcoin address. This is how physical bitcoins work - https://www.quora.com/Does-the-receiver-of-bitcoin-need-an-active-internet-connection-to-eventually-receive-the-money ~

how do physical Bitcoins work?
A physical coin is something that exists in real world that has the public key & private key on it. You can then import these keys into bitcoin wallet to spend. Network will confirm that private key matches the public key https://www.quora.com/How-do-physical-Bitcoins-work
