Ontario Autism Funding in 2019
Did the alleged extra funding do my family any good? No, I got a little money, which is infinitely more than the Zero money I got previously, but it was short-lived and not really significant.

only to find out that my frantic, mutli-document #travel #funding application was mistargeted. The deadline was for /retroactive/funds (which is still a weird idea).
Luckily, the person receiving the application was extremely gracious, and told me almost all of my work will count for the real #proposal #deadline in January.

Instead of the #WashingtonPost running one more article about #Trump being in the lead (or perhaps in addition to this coverage), go through every #Congressperson's record -- before they run for #speaker -- and give details about their political #positions, sources of #funding, #fascist or #antifascist policies.

A great chat on FLOSS Weekly regarding alternate #funding models to support #ethical #tech #projects.
Doc Searls and Dan Lynch sat with Aral Balkan of Small Technology Foundation as he argued the venture capital model dooms most startups to unethical business practices in Silicon Valley.
Balkan explained that founders of tech projects essentially "sell the exit" to investors from day one.
With revenue growth being the driving metric, most companies get acquired by tech giants like Facebook and Google.
To build truly ethical tech alternatives, Balkan believes different incentives and success criteria are needed.
He suggested governments fund projects focused on public good rather than profit, allowing them to iterate like startups without pressure to "exit."
Is this possible?

Big news for #UK science: "The UK is to return to the flagship #HorizonEurope science research programme, Rishi Sunak has confirmed.…From Thursday [today], British scientists can apply once again for grants from the £85bn programme, a move that will be welcomed with jubilation from the science community in the UK which was once one of the leading beneficiaries of the fund."

it's interesting working on projects in #MedicalImaging, there are far fewer resources than I anticipated. For example, web-based viewers for #pathology images? #OpenSeaDragon or #GeoJS. At least that is what I'm seeing...
Books on web #development for pathology images? None.
There are a few cool projects that aren't web-based, for example #QuPath, but still!
(I suspect this may be due in part to the #grant #funding nature of many projects in this space)
