I think the doctors may have be sabotaging Watson as well. The Doctor Industry is about keeping the Doctor person in high regard and high pay.
Med schools make sure the entrance requirements are very high so there isn't an influx of Doctors to lower the price, and the status they demand from the general public, where they think 4 years of med school seems to have them prepared for other specialties as well. Now these are factors of the industry, the individual can be dealt with, but on the whole MD are a very protective of their status.
A system such as Watson which is able to come up with ideas and treatments if worked would be a threat to the specializes of the Doctor. So I expect when building data they have placed a lot of road blocks and problems to prevent the project from being successful.
However such a service could be controled at the Telco level. To insure a call can be tracked back to its source.
So a legitimate business will contact their telecom and say number xxx-xxx-xxxx will call and we would like to display the number as yyy-yyy-yyyy and zzz-zzz-zzzz
Having the end user able to spoof on their own end, just doesn't cut it in 2018
If the Phone company knows where to send the bill, they should be able to tell the caller where the phone number is actually from. For legitimate phone spoofing such as a reminder call from an other company spoofed with your phone number so they can get back to you, can be handled with the phone company. Not from your own technology.
Hey, This can revolutionize the industry. Make sure there is adequate staffing at these hours and have the business hours extended.
I would think peak demand times for pizza would be 12:00 and 6:00. If I were to own a Pizza Shop Ill have hours of 11 am - 9 pm.
But this study with the 2:00am surge, would lead me to possibly change my model a bit. While I wouldn't have intuitively guessed the 2:00am hearing about it makes sense. As Pizza is often the meal for when you are late (7:00PM late dinner hour) and 2:00am having pulling an all nigher having feeling hungry for an other meal.
Everyone has different dietary needs and requirements, as everyone processes nutrients a little differently. I always find it funny with how much passion people put behind other peoples diets.
Some people are good with processing vegetable protein, and their nutritional needs crave the taste that vegetable provide. Other people have a harder time processing vegetable protein, and craves meat to cover the nutritional need. That said, we have too much food in general, so for those who crave meat, will actually eat too much of it. And just because something is vegetarian it doesn't make it healthy either.
Meat isn't a sustainable model for general production, and if vegetarian meals can help cover the meat cravings with a vegetable substitute. Even if our bodies take longer to process the protein normally it will be enough to sustain a person as we are still a creature of excess.
In the Scientific Process this is on step one hypothesis. Which is just a logical guess. This phase is no better then philosophy, where it is just logical thinking of things. I don't call this science, or these people scientists because science hasn't been done yet. That rant out of the way. I am going to give my hypothesis/philosophy to approaching that idea.
Life isn't just about having the elements, they need to be arranged in the right way. While the moon has a lot of water, I don't think it is distributed well enough to have the conditions to start life.
We as humans can go there, we can probably mine the water and other life giving chemicals from the moon, but at great effort. Even the effort to scrape enough material to keep a bacteria alive, would be considerable effort. More then the random chance.
The specs of these 8th gen chips have 2 something ghz speed with 4 soomething ghz speed max. In general these chips have variable speed, based on thermal. This isn't really new. But unlike the old chips which you could overclock until they melt, there is some safety measures in them.
I don't think Microsoft would have much to stand on. If ReactOS happened to run the DX12 drivers just by the fact it has been reversed engineered to be compatible.
Being at ReactOS is still a Hobby OS. I doubt there will be too much Microsoft rage, unless it starts digging into its market share.
Back in the 1990's I made a "Online ordering system" that was https but all it was a bash script CGI app once filled out the data it would send the order to the printer for the Admin to handle the order.
We just made sure people from outside the network couldn't packet sniff the message. Then everything else was unencrypted. Granted the paper print out didn't leave a digital database trail for remote access later on. The orders were just placed in a Real Folder.
Being that level 1 support is mostly treated like a robot anyways. A script that they need to follow rather strictly. This script cannot become too advanced because it will be hard for the Level 1 support to follow. An AI can probably do this job a bit better, just because it can follow complex rules much more easily.
That said, most companies have a Phone Tree system already for Level 1 support. and Google will be replacing an automated system with a better one.
I have a Think Pad with a Chicklet keyboard, and it is hooked up to a Mechincal keyboard.
The difference for me is when I actually start typing. Getting a bit more resistance, then snapping down. Vs More resistance then a thump. However the key travel, and the conceived key caps are still there, and about the same. The real advantage of the mechanical key. Is the fact you don't need to do a full travel for it to register.
They play games too. Most of the games are not that resource intensive such a FPS but they play games. Because playing games is fun snd people like to have fun.
How many of these port do you use on a regular basis?
Besides computer prices decrease very fast. If you are a value shopper for laptops then 2-3 year old systems are the best value. However some people wanted the newest and most powerful, although not the best value, they often will get a longer usable life from it.
They are out there. I see some new systems that are nearly 2 inches thick. And are mobile workstations.
However they are not so popular, because "power users" want a sexy status machine too.
For most "Power Users", The laptop computer isn't a source of Powerful Usage, a Workstation or a Server will be their real powerhouse. When they want a Laptop they want something easy to carry and bring around, with enough performance for some offline work. Crunch a few million records in a few minutes. Being able to do design work in a CAD. Or compile some code.
It is more complex then that. The US has its rules and the EU has theirs. They are not always in sync. The degree of corporate freedom to innovate and take risks vs the number of protections the consumers have from bad business practices.
Normally high risk actives lead to the biggest reward. However high risk activities can hurt the consumer the most. While it isn't all or nothing, there is a balance and often this isn't well defined until someone crosses the line. A company if they know the line, will often walk right to its edge and see where they can cross over.
There can be non direct monetary punishments as well.
For example in this case you can order local stores who sell their products to only pay the recommended amount, and put legal protections on these stores to follow these orders (such as not having it count as a debt or hit their credit ratings).
We can also just block shipping of products and turn the ship away.
These are my extremely naive examples, but to the point there are other things that can be done vs. just a fine.
This is what the EU doesn't understand about capitalism. The owners of these companies are adults and these punitive measures are not going to make them go. Oh gee, I guess I was doing the wrong thing, I should change.
They are well aware of what they are doing, And they can measure how long they can fail compliance until the fines are no longer fine.
These companies may give millions of dollars to each side in politics so whoever is in power will owe them a favor, at least be willing to lend an ear. Just because it is considered an expense in business, and not a punishment.
If they figure they can pay the 300 million later and still make out, they will play the game as long as they can.
It isn't all or nothing. It is call trends. The richest person in the world hooked up to gigbit network can have an Android phone, because he likes it better then the Apple. A poor person with no money, may sacrifice 2 meals a day to get an iPhone with some slow shared Network.
But trending will show that people with more money will pay more for stuff vs people with less money.
It seems that people do not understand trade-offs. Thin systems are popular at the expense of ports, expandability and repairability. However they are small, portable and easy to bring with you. So you have a computer at hand most of the time.
At work. The managers and the ones to go to meetings have the smaller thinner ThinkPads while I have bulky larger T series. When at a meeting my status as Not-A-Manager is shown when I walk in and pop open a 17" Display.

IBM will just be lazy. However if they can get there system to have measurable results they can sell more.
You work at the CIA (California Institute for the Arts)?
Why are we useing Eastern Standard Time for an event that cannot be seen there?
GMT is the standard. And there is some visibility.

There is only so much remorse a company can feel.
Look there is a problem.
Next week,
We fixed the problem.
The time and effort for any company to be perfect would mean no product will get released and will constantly being tested and regression tested.
The CPU gets hot, it slowed down due to Intels spec. Apple figured they were being a bit too safe with the threshold so does a software update.
How does this prevent a script to populate itself to load into the Linux kernel source on recompile.
I don't think Microsoft would have much to stand on. If ReactOS happened to run the DX12 drivers just by the fact it has been reversed engineered to be compatible.
