Corporation were never allowed to change their charter when the idea of a corporation was created. If a corporation was set up to build a bridge, it built that bridge and then the corporation was folded.
And when the bridge falls down, there would be no corporation with the resources to fix it.

Submission + - Woman arrested after blocking delivery robot in Philadelphia confrontation (abc13.com) 1
alternative_right writes: Philadelphia police said officers responded to the 1200 block of Filbert Street after witnesses reported a disturbance involving Carolyn Marvin and an Uber delivery robot near the famous Reading Terminal Market.
According to police, Marvin repeatedly blocked the robot's path and ignored multiple commands from officers to move.
She was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.
Marvin said she was protesting the use of delivery robots because she believes they are replacing human workers.
"I know they're taking the jobs of human delivery workers and so, I have been protesting them whenever I saw them by standing in front of them and preventing them from going forward," Marvin said.

Submission + - Ledger confirms spy chip implant behind wallet crypto thefts (bleepingcomputer.com)
AmiMoJo writes: Ledger has confirmed that some of its devices distributed through Southeast Asian reseller CryptoBilis were compromised with a hardware implant that drained users' cryptocurrency wallets. The company has been investigating reports of users losing funds from wallets purchased through CryptoBilis, a major Malaysia-based hardware wallet retailer operating across Southeast Asia. Some researchers have shown the implant in Ledger X since September 16, saying tampered devices were available for nearly half the price of the original hardware.
"Under the battery and antenna sits an ST STM32G431KBU6 (Arm CortexM4, 128 KB flash, UFQFPN32)," the researchers found inside one of the devices. For connectivity, the actor used "a tiny eSIM, an 8pad package just 2×2 mm, next to the MCU, and a shielded LTE module that sends the words out."

Comment Re:Summary is referring to EV plus Hybrids (Score 1) 149
In the US with a more dispersed population and complex road network, public charging infrastructure is more complicated. We still have too many gaps. Unless you have a charger at home EVs are a bit of an inconvenience. Which is why Hybrids are so popular in the USA.
Australia is worse than the US in every way for public charging infrastructure, yet the new car market is now at quarters - 1/4 EV, 1/4 hybrid, 1/4 gas, 1/4 diesel. Expect the EV and hybrid portions to continue to grow, especially with cheap Chinese EVs pushing prices down across the board.
The difference is that in USA cars are a political issue. If you are a MAGA type, you buy a pickup - the bigger, the better (one-tons are fine), regardless of gas prices. If you care about the environment, an EV is your goto. This is unlikely to change any time soon.
Submission + - Rogue Anthropic AI agent gave police fake tip in unsolved murder case (bbc.com)
alternative_right writes: The Philadelphia Police Department said the tip, sent on 18 July, was "flagged as spam" and not passed on for investigation, but it criticised the tech company for taking more than two months to detect and report the breach.
In a statement police said that the bogus tip came through a public website where people can share information on unsolved murders, and that the AI agent had written that it may have information on a case, and claimed to have seen "someone matching the description".
It is believed to be the first time an AI agent has sent fabricated information to authorities, but is the latest in a series of incidents involving rogue AI activity, including hacking systems or taking control of platforms.

Submission + - Complain about a watchlist? Go on a watchlist! (metro.co.uk)
Shakes Fist writes: "Social media posts criticising government policy are being monitored and investigated by officials, Metro can reveal.
Negative X and Reddit posts from unsuspecting Brits attacking the UKâ(TM)s anti-terror programme Prevent were added to a database of critical online comments.
Metro has obtained a list of nearly 80 critical posts found and logged by the Standards and Compliance Unit (StaCU), which oversees Prevent, between March 2024 and February 2025.
One campaign group whose tweet was recorded in the database said the revelations raised âserious questions about freedom of expression and the right to dissent and protestâ(TM) in the UK."
âoeIt is deeply concerning to see the Prevent duty being used to enable the monitoring of people and organisations simply because they are critical of the programme. That raises serious questions about freedom of expression and the right to dissent and protest.â
We denounce the âoetroubling lack of transparency about what happens to the information gathered through this social media monitoring [by the Standards and Compliance Unit]: how long it is retained, who it is shared with, and ultimately what the government is using it for.â
Weâ(TM)re clear that âoePrevent has expanded far beyond its stated aim of identifying people considered âoevulnerable to radicalisationâ, and has increasingly been used to justify extensive surveillance.â
Criticising the programme for its many faults shouldnâ(TM)t lead to getting put on a database.
