It won't happen. There is not enough money to subsidize upgrades to residential power so every household can have 200A service, plus all the urban homes that lack a secure place to plug in, plus all the rural homes where people have extended commutes to work. People aren't going to settle for a shit sandwich just because some have a god complex.
To add to your point, a lot of apartment complexes still don't have the infrastructure to charge electric vehicles.

The spirit of the terms seems to be they don't want combined chat, and are relying on the fact that most streamers are not going to develop their own chat combining software.
If people try to get past this on a technicality, expect them to revise the conditions.
You are correct.
A huge majority of streamers rely on overlays provided by either the companies Streamlabs or StreamElements for things like displaying a chat on their stream, among others.
At first I was excited about hearing this, but there’s two big caveats to this:
1) Due to some odd wording in the terms of what’s permissible, your stream can’t be lower quality than what you send to other platforms. Because YouTube offers a higher ingestion bandwidth rate (10+ Mbps) than Twitch (6 Mbps), someone appealing to both services that wants to send the maximum bitrate allowed for quality purposes or even with differing resolutions can be hit due to the technicality:
> otherwise degrading, the video quality on Twitch so that it’s worse than on other platforms would make the user’s experience on Twitch less than other services and, therefore, not meet these guidelines.
2) A popular tool for streamers who aren’t bound by exclusivity (anyone not Affiliate/Partner before this came out) used Restream to both stream to multiple platforms as well as integrate a combined chatroom, for example mixing YouTube and Twitch chats, will have to stop doing so. This sucks for viewer interactivity and would be a net negative to smaller streamers:
> You do not use third-party services that combine activity from other platforms or services on your Twitch stream during your Simulcast, such as merging chat or other features, to ensure the Twitch community is included in the entirety of the experience of your livestream.
So, this feels more like a bait and switch to generate positive PR when a lot of the conversation toward Twitch has been negative the past year, and less of an omission of no longer being the top dog of gaming streaming.

The quality of psychiatric care, in general, is abysmal. There's a ton of poorly-competent therapists.
SO when someone has autism or ADD or depression or these other disorders that make it really difficult to reach out to get help, and then that one person does reach out and gets shit for help, well, then how do you not give up?
The behavior health system is stacked against the most vulnerable.
And nobody cares enough. All those doctors that dismissed this woman again and again need to be publicly taken to task for their lack of professionalism and lack of giving a shit (which IMO goes right against the Hippocratic Oath).
It is definitely a general problem, and from personal experience I've gone through so many therapists this year it's not even funny. I've even had a therapist put me down, and for awhile I was wondering whether to off myself because I couldn't get good help.
Whether I'm in the DC area and looking or in the Bay Area and looking, and I feel like giving up on a search most days because nobody knows how to properly treat those of us who are on the autism spectrum.

That's what makes this so interesting. The EEG readings showing lack of brain response to physical stimulus were correlated with different "personalities". I can't think of a better way of proving the existence of DID.
I don't know anything about the reliability of PsyCh Journal so it's hard to know if we can take this at face value or not.
There's actually the full text available here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17611729
(At least, I think. Maybe this isn't the updated one?)
