Scott,A cool design that was hundreds of thousands of years in the making. Evolution at work. Same principle that we see with the iPhone.
Yes its possible the human race was seeded. After all our solar system is quite young compared to the galaxy we fondly know as the Milky Way.
We are not a creation of randomness nor is the creation theory scientifically valid.

Nah, no design, none needed. Enough variations yield the same results. Evolution is also not a brute force process like the unintelligent design folks would like to have us believe. It is totally iterative and builds on previous successes so just like you don’t brute force ciphers to crack them any more you don’t brute force evolution either. Enough super membranes bump together in 11 dimensional space eventually one of them resonates in to a universe like ours with life and inflation. Most probably pop or collapse but just like coal every once in a while conditions are right and you get a diamond. No invisible men sitting on clouds required. It is possible we were seeded but I’ll let E.T. speak to that topic. Pan spermia might also account for the population but that’s just the result of organic molecules forming in the centers of dying stars. No magic and nobody behind the curtain pulling strings, just good ol law of large numbers. As the old raiser statement goes, the simplest solution is usually the right one.On Jul 1, 2016, at 3:49 PM, CHUCK REICHEL <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Scott, Very nice! :) What a cool design we are! :) Talk soon Chuck On Jul 1, 2016, at 3:38 PM, Scott Granados wrote:Vaughn, I know native bluetooth support exists. I’ll dig around through some articles for you. Glad to help you out. It sounds like you and some others who use hearing devices could benefit from this. I’m very very interested in human / machine interfaces. And yes, total tech nerd and proud of it.:) I have a good friend who is a perceptual psychologist and studies non visual way finding and human machine interfaces. I’m trying to get ahold of him because I think he could shed some light on this subject. The idea of connecting directly to the brain for the ear or obviously for vision interests me. The idea of circumventing the cochlear altogether and connecting to the brain is a tricky one though. That cochlear does a lot of preprocessing. That’s the thing that learns how to hear music or language. Cochlear of Chinese people for example have different tonal assignments to the individual nerve ends than say someone who grew up in the West using our 12 tone scale. Nerves that get tickled by English words react differently when programmed to hear Middle Eastern languages and so forth. When babies are born this nerve mass is undefined and programmable. Like the brain as you get older these values are assigned based on many factors including culture, location, up bringing and many other factors. As we get older these become fixed. Just like we old timers get set in our ways so do our neurons. Once it gets passed the ear things get really dicy really quick. Same with vision. Theres real rudimentary ability to basically lightly shock parts of the visual center and with a developed cortex have the person perceive a flash. The flashes can be theoretically grouped together in a matrix of electrodes to say build a score board effect where the user perceives say a basic shape of an uppercase E by stimulating the right electrodes in order There is an interesting picture on the net of the first attempts of this taking up 2 racks of computer equipment. I’m absolutely certain you could do the calculations now in an iPhone. The fact is though, once we get to the brain we don’t know much. THere’s over 4 quadrillion discrete chemicals at play not to mention trillions of interconnections. When imaged behavior is also odd. Hearing and site for example trip all sorts of areas all around the brain and in many cases it’s hard to tell the difference of that to someone imagining they are hearing the same thing but sitting quietly. There’s a lot more paralyzation and distributed processing going on there than you’d think and we really have no idea. We’re getting there though, you folks with the artificial hearing blazed a lot of trails, the military is spending huge dollars on this right now to help restore censes lost in returning Vets. I believe they have a system now for artificial arms that will transmit basic touch and there are some hands that can respond to nerve pulses. This is why I always say the real solution to accessibility issues is solving the medical side of the problem and not really adapting the machines although adapting the machines is our best solution today.

I think it was Ricardo that was mentioning the inclusion of health censors which could track your health stats while wearing the headphones. Your ideas with VR are also good. I had mentioned how much better noise cancelation would be possible with a digital input. What about a headset that has both audio and video so think something like a google glasses plug in. I’ve been thinking about getting an Oculist Rift and using that to fly a drone. I finally have time again to work on that project and I’d like to take stereo audio signals as well as head movements to steer the drone and have audible feedback.

Imagine EarPods that can detect what you can and can’t hear as an individual, kind of like MyNoise’s calibration stuff, but through hardware and automatic. Or, it could do noise blocking, or turn down volume when someone talks, or, with Siri maybe, if some one says your name. Then, we get into virtual reality stuff, with games possibly knowing how your head is pointed, if you nod or shake your head, stuff like that. We don’t even know what Apple has dreamed up yet for Lightning headphones.

Still not happy about it, but then I’m not buying an iPhone 7, so it’s OK, for now. Gotta love the Apple pundits continuing to be completely, ahem, tone deaf on the issue. Scott, I was talking more in the way of degradation to today’s computer speakers over the use of complex physical changers. Yep, there are crazy workarounds, but there’s still no direct path from digital to your speaker system or even boombox; either you’ve got proprietary interfaces to the network or sky-rise vertically integrated systems that know about very specific services, but no general-purpose network interconnect that’ll work no matter the digital input source. What we want is for today’s computers and smartphones to be able, either wirelessly or with digital AV interfaces, to benefit from the big speakers. That can’t be too much to ask, can it? I’ve been looking into all the various solutions, especially Sonos, but I’m still feeling pretty meh about it, really. Sure I can build a component system and cable it all together and use a remote to switch components, but why bother when I have a working wired and wireless network and all my stuff—everything I care about—is all digital now and will become increasingly so as I rip it from analog? I just despair that at this golden time of opportunity, all the vendors are going their own separate ways to screw the consumer with closed protocols and meshes and cordless standards. As for SD card storage, the only thing I’ll say is that Apple would rather you pay their prices than wipe your bottom with money, so they don’t offer you the choice. But realistically, the SD interface is slow, and if it existed at all it would only be in an adaptor form factor anyway; there is simply no use case for permanently accessible storage that’s external. Sure I’d love it, but I think Apple are probably right here not to include the slot, all the same. Even on Android a lot of people use SD cards purely for data, and not for apps, because the speed difference is noticeable. What Apple needs to do is expose SD cards using document providers, and make the file system more useful by making it accessible through iOS and from outside from a trusted computer or over the network. That, I think, is far more practical and useful, IMO, and would make the grudges about storage far less legitimate. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
