Before Rockefeller purchased Congress and Standard Oil was made a permanent corporation, they only existed for limited times and for public purposes.
It would be crazy to create an unaccountable immortal entity, they knew, from the mercantalist Chartered companies of the King.
Corporate America is unAmerican.

These people identify as transhumanist global elites, not Americans.
It's the National emergency information system.
For when cell goes down (again) or in a scenario where nrad hardened comms become necessary.
Assuming the existience of a nation state this is the least dumb car mandate.
That thing that kills starters and engines at stoplights is the opposite.
Pretty difficult to find a worse choice, I'd say.
Zynga. A name that makes everyone who knows what it means turn around and run the other way. An exploitative evil empire.
If after Unity got extensive flak for trying to push through a hostile pricing model someone asked what kind of person to choose as the next CEO to remove that stain from your reputation - I think "CEO of Zynga" came dead last by a wide margin and then some intern sorted the list the wrong way around.
My confidence that Unity is going to do the right thing just dropped from zero to absolute zero.
Sorry - out of money to help out Americans.
Congress only funds more important people.
More to the point, they're *guaranteed* bucks.
People don't understand the significance of risk to profitability. By underwriting 80 billion dollars of risk for banks, it's essentially guaranteeing them profits. When it's politically infeasible to spend money on something, the government guarantees loans. That's politically popular across the board because it's spending *later* money and it puts money in bankers' pockets.
Let's be clear, a 700teu vessel is not what most people would think of when they think container ship, it's more like a local parcel truck or delivery van. (Typical ocean container ships today are 12000-25000 teus - 2 teus is roughly a semi truck trailer of cargo.)
It's good news experimentally, certainly, and was likely to first be launched in Asia where waterborne local cargo is a thing. But 5% of the cargo capacity dedicated to battery packs - and likely needing to be changed out roughly every couple of days - doesn't scale much yet.
To be clear, I think nuclear can and should play a key role in our response to anthropogenic global warming. I just think we shouldn't (a) talk about it like it is *the* answer in and of itself and (b) misunderstand the full breadths of risks and challenges, the most difficult of which are likely to be economic rather than political objections by environmentalists.
Ss you point out, climate change is in effect an economic externality that fossil fuels get a free ride on. This is a key reason for nuclear power's economic non-competitiveness -- in effect fossil fuel use is subsidized by future generations. If you made fossil fuel users pay the true cost of their energy use, nuclear would *instantly* become competitive. But politically that's not going to happen. The only politically possible way around that is to subsidize other energy sources as well.
If you haven't seen any nuclear advocates claim that we should stop investing in renewables, you haven't been paying attention. Usually they come out in response to some article on climate change or perhaps renewables and they will trot out the bogus argument that environmentalists killed nuclear, which is (they say) the only solution to climate change.
The argument that a particular technology is a panacaea isn't confined to nuclear advocates; I think renewable advocates oversell what's possible in the near future, just as anti-renewable people -- and yes, they exist if you're paying attention -- exaggerate renewables' limitations. Really any all-eggs-in-one-basket approach is unnecessarily risky and likely more costly than having several approachs that can work together and compete economically. Key to making that happen will be improvements in grid infrastructure, which will increase the size and therefore the efficiency of the energy market, allowing multiple sources of power to compete.
As for thorium, that's something we'll have to turn to if fission remains a long-term part of our energy supply, but it's not really a help in the time frame we have to respond to climate change. I think the most promising developments are in the development of fail safe reactor technologies and small modular reactors. There are such things as both economies of scale and *dis*-economies of scale, and SMRs are a different way of scaling production than the traditional and every expensive nuclear power plant.
Presumably since systemd runs as uid 0 run0 is just some glue code to tell systemd to run a process as uid0.
So on a systemd machine you get to throw out almost the entire sudo codebase which is redundant in that sense and has been a recurring attack vector.
But the bellyaching greybeard retards here will continue to get pwned because they refused to ever learn anything new after their brain got old and now they're hopelessly behind.
It sounds like if you need LDAP etc you just keep using sudo.
It was never the case that the public being scared caused nuclear to be outlawed, or even *discouraged*. The problem is that investors are scared by the high capital costs, long construction times, and uncertainties about future electricity prices.
This is why nuclear requires government subsidies, either in straight grants, loan guarantees or price guarantees. It's no coincidence that the only country in the world that did a serious nuclear crash program was France, where the electric system was *nationalized*. They didn't go in big for nuclear to make a profit, for them it was a national security issue in result of the OPEC oil embargos. As soon as France privatized its electric system, nuclear construction stalled, just like it did in every other privatized system.
In any case, even if we *were* to underwrite a crash nuclear program, it's neither necessary nor desirable to put *all* our eggs in the nuclear basket. One place we can put investment in is a modernized grid. This will not only help renewable sources like wind and solar, it will be a huge boon to nuclear plants, eliminating questionable siting choices that were driven by the need to locate the plant within 50 miles of customers.
It might be "worth it" for a criminal to allow the backups and harvest private data.
Now skulduggerous types will be executing github searches for default bucket names and putting filters in for
I'm glad I pay for vm's by the data rate available!
Which came first? Government or a human's ability to be productive enough to sell the fruits of their labor?
That works if you're a prostitute. Without a government, it doesn't scale much beyond that.
Never had an employee that was critical to business operations, eh? I was one 10 years ago. I said "fuck you" and quit.
Cool story, bro.
