Vernal hanging parrot: Stanford Law CodeX a) Linguistics, machine learning and Law, b) Online contracts, - and principles for individual data ownership? c) CodeX Blockchain Group, and blockchain for digital currencies? * * * Sri Lankan matriculating undergraduate students for this autumn who speak English, who would complete a 4 year free-to-students' Bachelor's degree, which is MIT OCW-centric

Dear Roland, Masha, Ludwig, and Stanford CodeX Fellows, (and Paul and Markus, presenters in the previous week),

Thanks for your great presentations at Stanfrod Law CodeX - https://law.stanford.edu/2020/05/06/codex-meeting-may-7th-2020/ (and the week before too - https://law.stanford.edu/2020/04/29/codex-meeting-april-30th-2020/). I didn't note down the RegTrax Stanford CodeX Fellows' emails, and couldn't find them, so could you possibly please forward this email to them, Roland? 

I'm following up with the questions I asked, or wanted to ask in email, and to network further (and regarding MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch's planned on line law schools in ~200 countries' official languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School - and see the 8 beginning ones here too 1/3rd the way down). For example, I think Ludwig, and Paul and Markus, would have something possibly significant to explore together. (But both your 5/7/20 and your 4/30/20 presentations aren't online yet on the Stanford Law CodeX Youtube video channel - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL48E61C121CAD0E1B ... but may be eventually).

Here are the questions I asked, or wanted to ask in email, in the CodeX text chat: 

1

Masha: 

Thank you, Masha ! If you had access to Google’s AI, and GNMT - Google Neural Machine Translation, in what ways could you develop a successful approach to the changing meaning of words over time? Could you easily bring your system together with GNMT or Google AI, for example, (in the Netherlands and in Dutch and English, initially)? - Scott (sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org)
 

For example, I searched on "How does GNMT handle the change in meaning of words over time?"

Ludwig: 

I wonder if principles for individual data ownership could play a role in Court Correct's development, Ludwig, and per Paul's and Markus's previous weeks' presentation, and their Harvard Law JOLT paper, about which I blogged here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/05/lesser-white-fronted-goose-legal.html. And could Markus and Paul's Prifina be on the horizon in the British Isles as a collaboration possibility, Ludwig?

Stanford CodeX Fellows: 

Thanks, and fascinating. Brainstorming-wise, how might RegTrax or Stanford Law regulate Stanford created “Mine Pi” with block chain, - and potentially in all ~200 countries’ official main languages’ legal systems (so, coming after the Euro in 19 out of 28 countries, and the international dollar)? Thanks, Scott (sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org) (And what role would central banks play, if a single cryptocurrency emerges, backed by some number of central banks, and thus blockchain?)

I wanted to see if I could infer something new related to digital currencies blockchain ledgers, compared with these helpful characterizations of blockchain ledger, from a few years ago, (not focusing on digital currencies), with these principles - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/10/gold-dust-day-gecko-blockchain-ledger.html -and using a Vermont house as an example- http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/10/feather-stars-blockchainforeducation.html(in the blockchain label in my blog). Digital currency scale questions come to mind.

Numismatics' coins as an example for the ongoing hacking and creativity in the creation of digital cryptocurrencies  - as an example - even as the state, that is central banks' law, will likely seek to regulate a cryptocurrency with block chain (in my opinion - and perhaps building on the Euro, and the US dollar?). 

In LinkedIn:
Thanks for your great Stanford Law CodeX presentation yesterday, Michael Schmitz, and all! Here are some of my questions from the session:

And as I messaged Paul this morning in LinkedIn: 

Hello Paul, I found Ludwig Bull's presentation - the middle one - very relevant to your project. More in an email to you all. (I think it will appear on the Stanford Law CodeX Youtube channel in a week or two). Here are some further thoughts and questions about your project as well - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/05/lesser-white-fronted-goose-legal.html (with CodeX's Youtube channel too, where your presentation isn't yet posted). Regards, Scott (scottmacleod.com worlduniversityandschool.org)

Thanks, - am following up currently in some of these regards too with MIT President Rafael Reif, and potentially regarding Google Sites too. 

This email was sent to MIT President Rafael Reif - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/04/dear-mit-president-rafael-reif-possible.html - and, as a consequence, was very glad to have a 30 minute Zoom video conference on F May 1 with the head of the MIT Office for Digital Learning ,Sanjay Sarma, with a CMU Master's degree, and UC Berkeley Ph.D. and an undergraduate degree from an IIT in India, but WUaS is still seeking a way forward with something like MIT OCW into MITx on the edX platform which we can BPPE license and WASC accredit upon. This didn't emerge in conversation with Sanjay; will it emerge on some sort of open Google Platform, due to the MIT OCW's Creative Commons' 4 licensing? Well, in this email to Google's Head of Open Source, Edd Wilder-James -  https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/05/passion-flower-sword-billed-hummingbird.html - I'm exploring this further.

Further Google collaborations is what I'd wish for, for WUaS, since WUaS is already in Google for Education (this info@world... email address is in Google for Education / G Suite, for ex.) and in so many ways - see letter to Edd.

Rifai, would you like to join in on a WUaS Livestream conversation on a Monday at 10am PT, or at another more convenient time for you, since you're in Sri Lanka, about growing WUaS?

I would invite you from here
(which I am working linking here - https://www.youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch).

I'd be interested too in exploring, brainstorming-wise, questions about your thoughts about how a project manager might work out of Colombo or similar, Sri Lanka. It wouldn't be like going to the Google office in Mountain View, CA, or in Sri Lanka if there is one, but hopefully much via Google software, as well as regarding WUaS's online bookstore, computer store, robotics' store, hospital technologies' store, for students and learners, but eventually with on-the-ground stores ... and perhaps all also in a single realistic virtual earth for everything - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarth?src=hashtag_click (think Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensorFlow AI, Translate and with avatar bots / species / individuals, and group build-able like Second Life, but realistic, not cartoonesque) - including architectural design, business development, - as well as for languages - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForLanguages?src=hashtag_click - and countries too.

I just re-Tweeted your new Tweet - https://twitter.com/NVidyalaya/status/1256877509930516486?s=20 - here - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch. 

Regards, 

Scott
