OTOH, it looks like the SystemD developers do exactly that.

Kind of like in Alien.

It's sad if they can't handle a server anymore. I say that because server management has gotten about a thousand times easier than it was in the '90s. These days, so many servers have a built in iKVM with remote media capability. And not that Java based crap where whatever version of JRE you have is the wrong one (run anywhere my ass), it's HTML5 based and just works.

The old days where you used a script to make all of the network changes (but not configuration changes) with a time delayed reboot to back out of the changes just in case you can't connect back to the server are gone. No more hacking a PortMasher to support serial consoles (at least if you had the sense to use some flavor of Unix on the server). Now you just ssh to the right port on the management IP and there's your serial. No need to call someone to push the reset button for you.

Are you REALLY trying to tell us AWS has NEVER gone down?

Even if they could extend life for hundreds of years it would be terrible for society. Usually the only relief people get from dictators or business moguls is they eventually have to die. Society would stagnate as people clung to wealth and positions seemingly forever.

Harvard's record with unscientific and bogus claim making staff isn't looking good. First they have Avi Loeb who is one step away from the "Alien did it" big hair guy, now they have this guy. Seems Harvard will let you do or say anything as long as it makes them money or gets them attention.

Just a reminder, the margin of error for a laser to drift off target in a system failure is great enough that having radio as a backup is still needed. You'd at the very least need it to be able to send commands. In the meantime, when everything is working, this would be a huge boost in transmission rates.

I have yet to run into a person anywhere on earth who didn't want more money.

Just don't do it during my lifetime. Let someone else deal with that shitstorm.

Just say something is "to protect children" and you can ban anything

What competition though? The Ambulance will take you to the closest hospital and they bill you whatever they care to bill you. If you need "Panacesq", there is one and only one manufacturer and you better pay what they want if you want to live. Where's the competition?

You want an all inclusive price for something? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Yeah,no.

If privatization is so great, why does healthcare in America cost more than double that of any other developed nation but we're in 26th place for outcomes?

Honestly I'm not sure if the proponents of privatization remind me more of Linus in the pumpkin patch waiting for the Great Pumpkin or Charlie Brown being sure Lucy won't pull the football away this time.

Many forms of socialized medicine leave others completely free to set up a private practice if they believe they can do better. All of them buy supplies and medication from companies, only manufacturing for themselves (really contract the manufacturing) as a last resort. The same companies that ass rape Americans in need of medication willingly sell at much better prices to various countries' socialized medical systems. They may not prefer that, but wave a dollar and they'll jump through the hoop just fine.

Why would I do that? Corporate America is Gollum. They will chase their preciousss dollars directly into the volcano every time.

Those people are free to never stray beyond it's walls.

But note, even if literally nobody chooses to go outside the garden, the simple fact that they are free to makes sure Apple is careful to maintain the garden well.

Yes, there is plenty of bad on both sides. So why should we help one bad side over the other? Perhaps we should stay out of it rather than fueling the fire.

They are protesting AGAINST U.S. involvement in foreign war activities.
