Oceans of Wisdom

ok tell me what you are thinking

"you wouldn't mind if I just take a lil' slice of that for my lab?"

"keep a close eye on your kidneys around him"

why have you not yet assembled a squad?

ha i can reply now so the answer to this is Stream!

that is great!

that will handle the nfts that matter but not selected as a meme card

@[gpebbles] I do not know if I am a boomer or of @[simo] has banned me from replying to replies but anyway the answer to your question is Stream

also, @[boredsurgeon] also personally guaranteed to me that when he wins the Nobel Prize in Medicine based on this work, he will personally give a Shout Out (tm) to everyone who mints his card. This is absolutely Scientific Advice and there is nothing @[6529Guardian] can do to stop me from sharing it

so this is all perfect demo case for what we want to do next

not just simple rule following

we need to be able to deliver decisions and outcomes like the rest of the world

and this is the whole point of a decentralized decision network, a decentralized society, etc, etc

as we start interacting with The Real World (tm) we will have to resolve and decide on more complex and nuanced situations because that is EXACTLY how anything important in life happens

I will try to do it for a small study in one of my cards

for scale items

but we are not there yet

maybe

will we some day have a card where we pay for everything can can decide to leave to the world at large or patent it ourselves and license to others, etc, etc

the art, the way it was done and findings enter the public sphere in different ways

principles

so I think this is correct and in line with our principels

but it was useful to think through what a fair outcome is in a case like this where we are only paying for a fraction of the real costs to run the experiment (the lab, the lab equipment, the lab staff is paid by others; we are plus or minus paying for consumables)

note that this is not to say there will be any patents to begin with; chances are very low for this type of exploratory research

open access allows for knowledge transfer, but patentability means a company may later invest to bring forward a treatment

3/ there was a further discussion about what does public domain and CCO mean in this context. obviously the card art itself is CC0. but also obviously in a very large and expensive lab like this the default is that the person who is paying the gear (the lab) and the salaries (also the lab) owns the IP (usually patents etc). This is fair under the circumstances and normal (if we were to give them say six figures, not 5 figures, you can negotiate different terms but not for the amounts we are giving). Where he ended up on this is "the project plan is CC0 and on arweave", if this generates publishable work, it will be in an open access journal and the patent (if any) stays with the lab. this is fair and correct and how a lot of government funding now works

2/ there was some discussion about "how much detail to share"; I had encouraged "more" and to include both technical and non-technical descriptions of what he plans to do so that a civilian can understand at an analogy level and a more technically qualified person can also understand

1/ the lab in which he works is very much An Institution (tm). I have taken on the responsibility of figuring out how to pay them so we are not going to send any ETH to @[boredsurgeon] himself. Instead I will figure out in which capacity I can get them money. We will learn something

it also will bring up a whole series of interesting topics we will need to solve

on two dimensions: 1/ it is in my view kind of the reference example so far of what a science card should be, of what moving beyond art should be, of "let's give me a taste of the full breadth of capabilities of our network 2/ he is legit, he can do what he says

have come out of voting hibernation to vote for @[boredsurgeon]'s card

it might be that the designated payee is the person selling as the land

cover all cases

those are the two most general ones

add those two fields above

Designated Payee: Yes/No Designated Payee Name: free text Payment Address: As now

some of them might not be a donation

and I think it is important that it says who it is

I don't think donated is the word

but I would want this if I were doing this

(I am not his tax advisor etc etc)

and to do things explicitly and transparently

the purpose is to allow teexels to avoid income tax liabilty

that has to happen via other means

the purpose of this is not to verify

how is that any different than teexels saying "mint this card and I will save 10 dolphins by donating to the WWF"

into an explicit decision, field etc etc

so i want to make designated

etc etc

and absolutely under no circumstnaces want to send them money
