Comment on Virtual Family Trees for Ancestry and the Internet

Even though it might seem extra work, I might log into another account, but rather than make me the manager, I leave them as owner and manager, and invite myself as a DNA collaborator, and invite myself to their tree as Editor. Life is long and the people you help should have some measure of

Current activities, The Internet Foundation, Aug 2021

For the Internet Foundation I try to track all global sensor networks. One of the dramatic changes the Internet allows is integration of data from many different sensors – cameras, telescopes with cameras, microscopes with cameras, electromagnetic, gravitational, seismic, acoustic. I am trying to get them all to have standards for archiving and sharing, standards

Image handling on the Internet, Pixels around a star

Thanks for the links. I spent the last few days going over the NexGen Level 3 Weather radar system. I downloaded many example datasets and tried to review and organize all the parts of it. Looking to see how to integrated radar, satellite, SDR (electromagnetic networks of many sorts), GPS and other sensor networks and

Comment on how to copy trees and find Birth Parents using Ancestry DNA

I have used Family Tree Maker which syncs to Ancestry. You download the trees to FTM and merge them, and then upload to a new tree. The merging is tedious but better than “save to tree” bit by bit. It is the ONLY method I found that preserves the records as records so that all

Comment to a private group on Facebook about DNA genealogy

This is a “private” group, so nothing posted here is seen or indexed and available except to people who join. I have helped more than a hundred people with finding their birth parents,

Comment on Google Search Hints for Search for Melting point of Al2O3

https://www.google.com/search?q=melting+point+of+al203 You are giving Fahrenheit temperatures on the Internet, and the global standard is SI. You are not only serving the few people in the world who are still not using Metric, but everyone. Or you ought to. K is the abbreviation for Kelvin. So it looked like you are giving 2.07 Kelvin at first

Equation Accessibility on ScienceDirect.com, Encouraging Global Collaboration

I like the MathML and equation accessibility of your pages. I am at https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/observability right now. But suggest you integrate some tools to immediately use the equations.  You have LOTS of them on your site, and they are disconnected fragments. Collectively they can change the world. And, there is no sense of community on this

NASA Web methods, policies, practices, staff, training, purpose

Emily, I have not forgotten about you and NASA.gov. In fact, I spent many full days checking different aspects of what is going on, who is doing it, who it serves, how much (if any) user involvement is allowed, the level of practice shown in the pages, integration (or not) with contractors and federal agencies,
