Because the Mozilla Foundation understands the real problem with the Rebels was that they didn't have enough Sith Lords.

The previous poster already explained - the law is a cudgel the boss class uses when some of the proles get uppity and start doing things reserved for the boss class.

is that I don't watch anything produced by Netflix much anymore, and very little on Netflix at all. My subscription is pretty much running on inertia at this point. Even things that I expect to enjoy, or that I was looking forward to, I typically don't finish. When I want background tv, I put on one of 20th Century series I liked, purchased on DVD and ripped to my media server. This has been a gradual change over the last year or two, but the thread topic brought it to mind.

Just wait until I get my data center full of Cray X-MPs up and running. I'll have a GigaWatt of compute in no time!

The "truth" is that NPR covered a well-documented liar, fraud, and "reality" TV host, best known for wrecking everything he turned his attention to, and treated him as a credible presidential candidate. Honest coverage would have consisted of consistent reminders that Mr. Trump was grossly unfit for office and a danger to the nation. Instead, NPR (as with nearly all news coverage) acted (and largely still acts) as though it has an obligation to present some imaginary median point between the Democratic Party (who would be moderate right in many times and places) and whatever destructive madness the GOP pretends to care about this week.

Hits the nail on the head.

Maybe they just see what America's leaders and government do and imitate it.

And people wonder why the peasants want to burn mad scientists and their castles.

This isn't some unwanted side-effect, though. *This the point.* Wall Street, the stock market, the entire finance sector may have been something else in the past, but it has primarily been a wealth-transfer engine for the benefits of those with wealth and connections, for decades. Just wait for the current hype cycle to come apart, and watch the government make the capitalist-class whole to the detriment of the public.

Are you talking about Von Braun or Isaacman?

To be fair, they were doing a pretty good job themselves before that. In no small part by building almost nothing smaller than a truck, and then not building them to the same standards as other manufacturers.

And hopefully both can lose. Disney spent years refusing to pay contracted royalties to authors of the IP it purchased. Its executives and shareholders can all go broke.

So, next President of the United States, then?

To clarify, the up-front fee will be "the net worth of the median boomer's estate".

Nah. It'll be a one-time up-front fee of for "digital immortality". The additional fees will be for the surviving family members to pay for access to the simulacrum of their departed.
