High Seas Venture: SF Tech Incubator in International Waters

18 Mar

[ By WebUrbanist in Architecture & Offices & Commercial. ]

international floating seasteading incubator

Imagine heading out from San Francisco to a bustling technology hub closer than Silicon Valley … yet an entire country away. Set only a dozen miles from the coast, this incredible incubator is planned for international waters and could be the world’s most high-tech floating city.

international tech city hub

Blueseed is currently seeking investors to back this audacious play and let them set up shop a proverbial stone’s throw away from the heart of West Coast innovation. The company has founders familiar with the immigration issues of the United States – two are, respectively, from Serbia and Romania, and a third is the child of Cuban immigrants.

international venture funding model

Via ArcticStartup: “they plan to start accommodation prices off at around $ 1500 a month, and transportation will be provided to the mainland by a daily ferry. Internet connectivity will be provided via a point-to-point 40Gbps laser link with satellite link backup. They are also looking at additional backup solutions using submarine cable and potentially a series of WiMAX relay buoys. A visa is not required to earn a paycheck on Blueseed, and most residents will be able to travel back and forth to the mainland with a business/pleasure B1 Visa.”

international technology community platforms

Like other incubators, Blueseed plans to take a stake in startups that start on its shores (or rather: ships and floating platforms), something that startup schools like YCombinator and TechStars have found to be a successful business model in the past. Its fleet would include living and working vessels, daily ferries and potentially (eventually) desalination plants and other means of creating full self-sufficiency on the open seas. Who knows – perhaps it would even be mobile in the long run.

I have made this video from my photography to show the beauty and wonder of the first and best national park. I hope more people visit the park so that they can see the beauty with there own eyes. As a 16 year old, I try to get out to the park at leas 1 week a year, but that is not enough for me. I hope to be able to take a winter trip sometime in the coming years. My passion is photography, especially wildlife, so please rate and comment on my video. All photos and video were taken and processed by me, and the music is royalty and DRM free.

Trails of a Legend 3D (International Trailer)

19 Aug

“Thai Ponies, Path to Legend” follows the quest of the “Thai Horse Savior”, Dr. Siraya Chunekamrai. Cross breeding and improper care have reduced their numbers drastically. Her quest to save the Thai Pony from extinction has lead her on a path of discovery. In treating these regal animals Dr. Siraya began to notice striking similarities between the Thai Pony and the Mongolian Wild Horses. Known as Przewalski’s Horse, these animals are considered to be the last of the true wild horse left in the world. From 2003 – 2007 hair and blood samples were taken and tested at the Veterinary Genetics Laboratory at the University of California, Davis. The Veterinary Genetics Laboratory is the most technologically advanced and carries the largest equine genetic database in the world. The startling results showed that these gentle ponies are not a modern horse breed but are indeed descendents of ancient horse breeds, including the Przewalski and Asian Wild Horse. In addition, these remarkable creatures show a unique ability to withstand some of nature’s most deadly diseases like the deadly West Nile virus. How do they surrive? What other secrets do they hold? Follow Dr. Siraya from the mountains of Northern Thailand to the steppes of Mongolia and into the vastness of the Gobi Dessert in search of the DNA evidence to validate their heritage. Production partners Al Caudullo and Dorn Ratanathatsanee have teamed up to create this visually compelling 3D documentary. The pair are using the

Part 1: Analysis of the Lunar Photography – This compelling video throws into serious doubt the authenticity of the Apollo missions and features information that challenges the declared abilities of NASA to successfully send a man to the Moon and return him safely to Earth. New evidence clearly suggests that NASA hoaxed pictures allegedly taken on the lunar surface. These findings are supported by analysis and the testimony of experts from a wide variety of scientific disciplines. Note: This was the hardest film for us to post here at UFOTV, as most of us were born around the Apollo era and many of us hold NASA’s achievement of landing a Man on the Moon and bringing him safely back, as sacred. But in the interest of remaining neutral and posting all information on controversies in science, regardless of our personal beliefs and those of the management at UFOTV, we bring you what critics have chosen as the greatest filmed investigation on this matter to date. As powerful as the evidence presented in this film and its sister film may seem, we highly recommend that you view our film called “Quantum Hologram & ESP – Astronaut Edgar Mitchell,” that sheds light on Edgar Mitchell’s experience as the 6th man to walk upon the Moon and his experience aboard Apollo 14 at that time. His experience during this mission as described on this presentation must not be overlooked.
