Kinda a middle class SF Bay Area Sunday afternoon, with many 20-something year olds * So here at Rodeo Lagoon SF Bay w its youth hostel, interesting old buildings, even a visitor center, - internet was off coming in, but back on now - how to access world class online libraries, even from ~200 countries' National Libraries & be able to do world class research NOW? * * Now could we find out different library knowledge from talking with a realistic Richard Rorty Avatar Bot compared with a UC BERKELEY history Prof or a Stanford Law Prof Hank Greely avatar bot compared with iterating and ever improving National Libraries' and the smallest wee archives and local library's library resources (or even a Harbin Publications' office library of Harbin's history? ... Or 8 other 'Harbin archives' or libraries?

waves ~ Rodeo Lagoon SF Bay Area Golden Gate Bridge National Recreation Area  (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/03/mentha-aquatica.html Sun., 3/13/22)


Monday, March 14, 2022


Hi Ma, John, Henry, Ed, Larry, All, 


Took this thread to the blog space ... https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/03/chimonanthus-praecox.html ... & can anyone help getting a Harbin Pubs' archive digitized, for machine learning databases, and access from anywhere with internet access ... but not necessarily regarding this #RealisticVirtualHarbin #HashTag ... https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualHarbin?src=hashtag_click ... but perhaps here in Google Street View, 'landing' at the Harbin Gate House ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~) ... and then 'ambling' down the Harbin road '~4 miles' to Middletown CA Harbin Pubs' office ... (and whipping out your smartphone, if there PHYSICALLY, that is ... and photographing a ton of Harbin Pubs, and thus further digitizing them ... easy peasy, easy as pie) ... OR READING THESE PUBLICATIONS IF ONLINE AND INTERESTED IN HARBIN'S CULTURE OF YORE ... and with Google Street View with time slider, that is :) 

(Received too a message from Stanford Mine Pi yesterday - and see below - that leads me to wonder about thinking in terms of Pi ... infinite abundance-wise ... and see too - https://twitter.com/MITAthletics/status/1503349979301171206?s=20&t=eQQJf-RKsnH2gQcl1kO-uA) What are information technologies making possible? Virtual Harbin and infinite Pi coin resources, and possibly re immortality too ... re Harvard and MIT professor of Genetics' George Church's video here - https://youtu.be/mztOFAQf8uY (around the 8 minutes' mark) - all highly improbable :)?

In addition to the waves of Rodeo Lagoon, who's getting free money these days, that is mining Pi - https://minepi.com/sgkmac - as this develops in the direction of Pi infinity (the mathematics of Pi get pretty interesting, I'd think:) 

Cheers, 
Scott

Stanford Mine Pi developing to Mainnet Blockchain

Dear Larry, Universitians, and All, 

Greetings and how are you? Happy daylight savings''new light.'

a new development with Stanford Mine Pi, which I mine daily (https://minepi.com/sgkmac) ... with about 3322 Pi coin accumulated so far and increasing second by second ... and new information about possibly actually using Pi on the Mainnet blockchain ... and regarding boosting the mining rate, and locking this in or up ... (and also regarding possibly WUaS Corp ending poverty by distributing a single cryptocurrency to most of all 7.9 billion people and in 200 countries, 7139 living languages ... ) and via UBI experiments ... 

Here's the message about this from when I was mining today ...

Configure Lockup Settings

Lock up a portion of your Transferable balance to Mainnet to boost your mining rate. On March 14, 2022, lockup boosts go into effect with your commitment. Lockup settings will become binding upon commitment (meaning lockups cannot be lowered before your first Mainnet transfer). Learn more

1. Lockup percentage

25%

50%

90%

100%

200%

BOOST RATE: × 100%

2. Lockup duration

2 weeks

6 months

1 year

3 years

BOOST RATE: × 200%
Resulting mining rate boost:

+ 532.74%

[= 100% × 200% × log(461)]
You have completed 461 mining sessions so far.
Lockup duration countdowns will begin upon balance transfer to Mainnet. Your previous lockups will affect your overall lockup reward. The lockup design and formula are subject to small changes.
Lockup status: Not committed yet. Commit now to boost your mining rate effective March 14, 2022.

Hmmm (I copied and pasted this screen from my smartphone)

Pi is a little unclear regarding various significances ... 

And this is the second time I've received this invitation from Pi to 'lock up' the Pi Mining rate ... 

Thoughts, questions, ideas, suggestions ... and regarding WUaS Corporation ... and potentially listing Pi this on the Silicon Valley long-term stock exchange? 

Sincerely, Scott

Will electric car batteries be rechargeable while driving?


John and Janie, 


Will electric car batteries be rechargeable while driving?

Am excited for the possibility of a Toyota Proace Electric Autonomous Vehicle van when available in the USA in 2023 possibly ... 

I am not seeing many electric charging stations going in around the US (like when I drove across the country and back from the SF Bay to Cuttyhunk) ... and I'd think with the already existing electric vehicles on the road, that such recharging stations would be springing up everywhere ... It would be amazing if gas stations disappear (re reversing global warming too esp.)

Searched on - 
'Will electric car batteries be rechargeable while driving?'

Found ... 

"Drivers of electric vehicles should be able to charge their car in the future while they are driving. This shall be enabled via inductive charging. Hereby, alternating current generates a magnetic field within a charging plate, which induces the current into the vehicle."

"New electric vehicle charging research could allow drivers to power their cars as they drive on the highway"

"Connecting a generator to the wheel of an electric vehicle won’t recharge its battery"

https://climatefeedback.org/claimreview/connecting-a-generator-to-the-wheel-of-an-electric-vehicle-wont-recharge-its-battery/

searched on
'electric charging stations going in around the US'

"Electric vehicle charging stations and outlets in U.S. - January 2022. In January 2022, the U.S. had almost 113,600 charging outlets for plug-in electric vehicles (EVs). A considerable sum of these chargers is found in California, with almost 41,300 public and private power outlets."

https://www.statista.com/statistics/416750/number-of-electric-vehicle-charging-stations-outlets-united-states/


Can't seem to find an accurate number for
'how many gas stations in the us'


Thoughts on this Johnny? 

Warm regards, 
Scott
