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

Some Notes on applications for MEMS gravimeters and their global calibration

Marley, For the last 20 years or so, I have been tracking gravimeter developments, hoping one day they could be developed enough to use in low cost gravitational imaging arrays. I don’t have my notes on what I wrote to you.  My memory is that I saw you were at “earth tide” sensitivity. That is

Notes from Weather.gov survey questions.

Internet Research – global sensor networks and sharing Looking for data to correlate with other sensor networks Your left bars are rich in links. But you are using almost a different style of navigation on every page, certainly every section. With about 3 Million entry points for site:weather.gov that is a lot of hand building

Comment on video to measure wavelength of sound and apply reasoning

Waterloo Double Slit 1 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acgb5uP4CBM David, I think it would help viewers if you draw a wave on a transparency and overlay it onto another wave to show what is happening. Put two arbitrary time series and look where they match or do not as the time difference changes. Put a time series made

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,

Can a Penning trapped electron or ion be used as a time of flight gravimeter?

Subject: In your months long measurements on single electrons did you see diurnal variations? Has anyone tried to make a single electron gravimeter? Gerald, I was doing a quick review of linear and quadratic effects in paramagnetic resonance, and happened to notice “Gabrielse and company confined single electrons for months at a time”.  For many

Comment on Visualizing the world’s largest turbulence simulation video

Visualizing the world’s largest turbulence simulation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPe1Ho5qRuM Please post links to your sites. If you have data to share (it can be mere 1000^3 samples or statistical summaries), give people more than just pretty pictures. I think you went too fast. I think your simulations left off all the low density pieces because I don’t

About optically connected processors for home use and many things

Nora, Thanks, I will keep that in mind. If you cast tiny angular (square, triangular, for example) blocks of plastic on ends of an optical fiber, then polish the whole thing, that would give a fiber that would alighn properly with a corresponding hole and fiber (or fibers).  It is something that human hands could

Comments on LibreOffice Sites and Community

Hello, Is there, somewhere, a profile of the Document Foundation community online?  The “LibreOffice community”?  The “Community Map” has no weights or sizes. I looked at the people and groups that you follow, and a bit of who they follow and are linked to.  https://twitter.com/tdforg  I attached my notes. The totals are not indicative of
