"The very first question to be considered is the applicability of the Copyright Law to the Moon. "

Thinking ahead (in 1952) about interplanetary copyrights :). if aliens have "Two Heads, Two Authors?"

really fun, worth reading.

Do you know people that would be up for this, maybe as a contest?

we could have prizes, we could have in-person concerts with multiple groups, we could generate lots of open/free music.

We would bring 100 year old music to a new audiences. We might be a bunch of people singing.

I would really like to hear shape-note singing like they do at Bread and Puppet.

(if anyone wants to run such a project, please come forward!)

project idea (possibly using AI): record a take of songs from old sheet music books

Starting with something like the Grange book of sheet music below and record them ... Apparently the music can get to midi via Play Score 2, and other programs can could sing the lyrics.

or better yet, if anyone wants to perform the songs and upload them to the archive, you could link it into a review of the book.

This presentation will show many different ways that people have built services on archive.org data and API's.

The idea is to find others that want to do this, and how the @internetarchive can improve.

Solar panels are not part of the picture, and even if they were, it would not amount to much power, unfortunately.

$0.50 per mile for electricity for a semi truck? wow, lower than I would imagine. (and it can be as low as $0.12 where rates are lower.).

"During testing, the truck averaged 1.72 kWh per mile while hauling a gross combined weight of 75,000 pounds (34 metric tons) over a 390-mile (625 km) long-haul route."

a tesla model 3 is ~0.3 kWh per mile.

Sharing the benefits of grid-scale batteries and solar/wind by trading in western US. The current 15 minute market in California Now going to day ahead market.

(I think made possible with recent massive grid-scale batteries allows evening out of renewables)

California now runs 5pm-8pm electricity use on batteries. Turn off more plants cuz can plan for a full day.

Thoughtful article on wholesale electricity grid coordination markets. Sounds dry, but cool:

Yes, souped-up golf carts and they are being used for general mobility... In Rome they are common, in Amsterdam they are everywhere!

And in gated communities, like in Palm Springs. Now San Francisco.

Americans can keep the SUV in the garage and drive LSVs.

Amsterdam little car. Starting to happen in the US!
