> Are you sure about that?

Pretty sure, but by no means certain, I'm not a lawyer and I don't know all the laws. Common carrier status does mean that FCC regulations must be followed by companies placing phone calls. Since they are already illegally ignoring the US Do Not Call registry and spoofing phone numbers, there's plenty of room for enforcement of the existing regulations.

Telcos could also advocate for stronger regulation. They don't now and they won't in the future, but that is in their power.

Telcos could provide an opt-in system for sending & receiving calls that are verified to be from legit businesses that adhere to the do not call registry, actually stop calling people when asked, and generally aren't shady. They could provide the consumer with more information, without having to block any calls or violate common carrier rules.

They definitely have the power to try, and they definitely have a financial incentive not to. They are choosing to pretend like their hands are tied.

> I'm pretty sure that there's a business opportunity for a cell carrier that could offer spam filtering as a selling point and if it's a small mobile only carrier there wouldn't be any phone advertising that they'd be giving up by doing that.

Yeah agreed, I hope someone comes along and tries!
I think there are precedents.

It happens because there is so much overlap in most patients, and symptoms tend to occur in clusters.

General delays in motor skills and language skills are quite prevalent in many conditions. If you google videos of kids with autism, you will see varied abilities.

I am hesitant to go into more detail because this is an area that causes a great deal of anxiety for parents and discussions are often sensitive. One surefire way to annoy a parent and get into an argument is to claim their kid does or does not have a condition that differs from their own opinion. (And I can see why it would bother them).

The problem with opinion articles is that they are not "objective" by definition. A representative title cannot be objective. It's unfortunate that interesting articles (they may be somewhat interesting, if they get to the front page) are devalued by listing them under aseptic, uninteresting, click-repellent titles.
"When the EU rolls out a single-payer system for the entire Eurozone..."

Basically the national health systems inside EU co-operate not entirely dissimilarly to a european single payer system:

http://www.kela.fi/web/en/european-health-insurance-card

Given that the mishmash of european systems has much wider variance probably than US internal schemes do, I find the argument 'but US is too" complex not entirely convincing.

Given how much of the current scientific and technological context of our civilization comes from the US, and there are lot of single payer schemes working in other countries, I would find the "we don't want to" argument more convincing than "it's too complex for us".

Anyway, I don't know the nuts and bolts of any of the health care systems but generally when political will manifests itself people are capable of all sorts of things if they are within the realm of the laws of physics.

It's not like health care was rocket science. The best bang for buck comes from providing just the cheapest things modern medicine has come with within the reach of all. It's not surgeries and MRI machines and all that capital intensive stuff. A nurse with a basic kit could achieve all sorts of improved health outcomes in his/her patients.
I know everyone loves to push for a single payer system, but we could have the best of both worlds if we transitioned to the Singapore model.

This is a great ideal. Sticking it to The Man is never a bad thing :) The question seems to be one of level of service and reliability. Collectives (if you will) can certainly work. But at this scale? And necessity?

The ultimate benefit, I would think, would be to cause downward price pressure on the establishment ISPs. But wasn't that also Google Fiber's quest? Which we know didn't last long. Profits or not, there is still a certain level of cost to maintain sustainability of the model.

The full name is "Autistic Spectrum Disorder", so the name hints that there's a range of stuff happening.

To be autistic someone has to have problems with social communication, problems making or maintaining friendships, and fixed and repetitive interests.

Some people also have other stuff on top. These things are common with autism, but are not needed for the dx.

Alexithymia (the ability to recognise emotion in yourself and others) is one example. It's far more common in autistic people, but you don't need it to be autistic. Between 50% and 55% of autistic people have alexythimia. Sensory sensitivities are another. There are a range of these things that are more common in autistic people, but aren't needed for the dx.

And there's a lot of co-morbidity too. People with autism are more likely to have depression or anxiety or OCD. These aren't part of autism, but it's complicated to untangle what's going on. Is someone social isolated because they're depressed, or autistic, or is it a bit of both?

When you start looking at these other things it makes sense that autism might be an umbrella diagnosis.

Perhaps it would be possible to read in the source files, compile them, and preserve an image of the state immediately before reading input or command line.
It would be nice if this leads to more interest in alternatives (OSM based systems including maplet).

Previously, when google made the initial shift in this direction a few years ago, it seemed like there was a brief period when more people were considering alternatives, but since most people were able to continue using the free tier this tapered off pretty quickly.
It's a shame you only regurgitate information instead of looking up things yourself.

Based on the 'total consumption chart' [1] you are incorrect.

Even though many, including Digiconomist, only look at the current value. They are distorting the narrative of scientific inquiry. As, in another 10 years, in hindsight, the value of mining Bitcoin today is significantly more efficient than mining gold was today.

Gold, when it was used as a global standard, produced multitude more in CO2 pollution than it produces. Economies of scale and as people use the 'digital gold', value increases.

An apt comparison would be during the various gold rushes (hundreds of years ago). I don't believe I've seen a true apples to apples comparison. But now you know how to compare a mature asset like gold, to a new asset like Bitcoin. It's not in today's measure. It's in the relative situational circumstances that are equivalent. Also, if Elon Musk were to obtain one astroid with sizable portions of gold on it. Well, then gold's value will be debased and it will be difficult to easily compare the two. Every factor matters. Please don't act like it's a huge waste of energy, it's actually not even close to many other forms of money that humanity has used.

Yeah, waiting for Rust's async/await to mature is probably a good idea. But I'm not sure why they didn't just use threaded I/O instead.
To be fair, how it's used probably depends in part on how well optimized it is.

> You're paying for master nodes with StackPoint, right?

No, you pay a monthly subscription (starting at 50$/month). The service allows you to create/update clusters easily. I'm not sure, but I think you can create as many clusters as you want with a 50$ subscription (at least I never hit a limit). The procedure to create a new cluster looks something like this, if you use the web interface:

* click "add cluster"

* select cloud provider (DO, AWS, GKE, etc.)

* configure master nodes. E.g.: 2 master nodes @ 2G Ram, running in region NYC1.

* configure worker nodes. (same procedure as with master nodes)

* submit

If you choose DO, you get a cluster that works with DO load-balancers, DO block-storage, etc out of the box.

If a new version of Kubernetes is released, you can hit the "update cluster" button.

They have an API for all the stuff too.

I chose StackPoint in combination with DO, because it felt least bloated and least locking-in.

Now that DO introduces the Kubernetes service, I can imagine that I won't need the StackPoint subscription any more.

Does anyone know why Amazon doesn't have a maps offering on AWS? I've heard their internal logistics GIS services are pretty advanced and it surprises me they don't have a GIS category on AWS to the point I'm convinced there must some very specific reason they've chosen not to implement. Companies like MapBox and Carto seem to be doing well, Microsoft and Google have map services, demand seems to exist. Additionally it seems they would find value in possessing a list of companies utilizing such services and be able to offer some interesting services. It's puzzling.

I'm not denying this phenomenon, but part of it is surely that widely used projects get more conservative because any change risks breaking something for someone somewhere. And the maintainers tend to feel a sense of responsibility to help people deal with these breakages.

There's an extremely clever model that's been losing popularity for a while now: Make something valuable and charge money for it.
I'm totally OK with Python's threading choice of saying only 1 Python thread may execute Python code at any time. This is a totally reasonable choice and avoids a lot of complexity with multithreaded programming. If that's how they want to design the language, fine by me.

But the GIL is more than that: the GIL also spans interpreters (that's why it's called the "global interpreter lock").

It is possible to run multiple Python interpreters in a single process (when using the embedding/C API). However, the GIL must be acquired for each interpreter to run Python code. This means that I can only effectively use a single CPU core from a single process with the GIL held (ignoring C extensions that release the GIL). This effectively forces the concurrency model to be multiple process. That makes IPC (usually serialization/deserialization) the bottleneck for many workloads.

If the GIL didn't exist, it would be possible to run multiple, independent Python interpreters in the same process. Processes would be able to fan out to multiple CPU cores. I imagine some enterprising people would then devise a way to transfer objects between interpreters (probably under very well-defined scenarios). This would allow a Python application to spawn a new Python interpreter from within Python, task it with running some CPU-expensive code, and return a result. This is how Python would likely achieve highly concurrent execution within processes. But the GIL stands in its way.

The GIL is an implementation detail, not poor language design.
Guifi.net is actually mentioned halfway through the article.
This would be the last thing I would want to use as a retail store.

2) Payment is processed by Amazon

3) Amazon matches the customer with their own records, sends an advertisement for that same product, at a lower cost

4a) Customer returns product and buys from Amazon

4b) Customer orders from Amazon next time they need it

Edit: For the record, Amazon wouldn't even need to be able to identify the exact products you purchased, enough damage could be done based only on your businesses classification. Technology, clothing, houseware ect.
