Caltech already runs the Jet Propulsion Laboratory that controls a lot of science satellites. Yes, it does so under contract, and yes, it is a "private" university.
In reality, this is so close to transfering it to the people who are already running it, that your fears seem a lot overblown.
You'd rather just turn it off?
Sounds a lot like what happens at other universities in some states since the rules for auctioning off surplus property are so byzantine that it's cheaper and easier just to trash a multi thousand dollar piece of equipment than go through the hoops to get it resold via auction.
I am not Anonymous. I'm not even a squad, let alone a Legion. It may look like I forgive. But really I just forget. Don't expect me because I'll probably oversleep.
That might well be it. Where I've dealt with it is incidental music for events and music for video productions. Neither linking the music to particular branding.
Oh joy. Take an article that's making one point about complexity and spin it into another point about claiming science is not working for us.
Add a goodly dose of the hoary old saw I've been hearing ever since the first time I went to college about "Reductionism is failing us! And science has no answer to emergent behavior." Presumably implying that other methods (Perhaps creative linguistic criticism, experimental interpretive dance, or maybe abstract sculpture? You laugh, I've heard it seriously suggested. Though I suspect it involved heavily chemically altered states.) will work better?
No, it's just that complex systems are, well, complex. And we've picked a lot of the low hanging fruit.
The slope to knowledge has gotten steeper, but it hasn't gone vertical yet.
If the venue (or more likely the campaign for a traveling show) has an ASCAP license (that song is under ASCAP IIRC) of the correct type, then how is a public performance of a recorded version a violation?
Maybe there's something I'm not seeing, but I don't see how the case has anything behind it. Is there a clause in ASCAP contracts about use being denied when it is a political event?
The ASCAP licensing I've dealt with is for festival type licensing so there may be nuances I don't know.
Sure, if it had been used in a video production without a synchronization license, but I'd hope any video producer worth their salt would have gotten one.
Democrats: We can't go back to the moon. It's wasteful and there's nothing there we haven't seen. A moon base would serve no real purpose. (And, it's become a Republican place.)
Republicans: We can't send a manned mission to Mars. It's far away, en route radiation is a problem and it would be another Apollo go there and stop mission. (And, it's become a Democrat place.)
Or, we can't fund that vehicle. It's a $other_party vehicle and it's not being built in my district.
They've been pulling this garbage for as long as there's been a space program. Reverse the parties, and or the planetary bodies/adjust the vehicle as needed.
We lack a way to sensibly judge and maintain technical programs without the most base of politics creating budget uncertainty and stretchouts leading to failure and cancellation.
Why would they care if they link to a nutjob like Larouche as long as he's saying something against someone they don't approve of? (And they don't get caught at it.)
Smuggled hit pieces (or not so smuggled) on slashdot are pretty common in election years.

"it has to be 'bulked up' by exposing to electric shocks"
I don't care if it is in a test tube, PETA's gonna go apeshit over this.
"Google Seeks To Plant Antenna Farm In Iowa"
I wonder what kind of fertilizer they plan to use?
Just substitute in "humans" for progressives and conservatives.
Regardless of evolved or created, humans love nothing better than talking trash about "those" people.
"Were nuke truckers involved in a UFO crash in Southern California?"
Seeing that alone was worth the read.

If it's the right sort, I'm sure Julian Assange and WikiLeaks would be interested.
"You missed the target, private. I'm increasing the stimulation."
*zap* "Ouch!"
"If you miss the target again, I will increase it again. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Drill Sergeant!"

My point exactly.
"You don't get the point of the standup meeting."
After a dozen years of enduring daily stand up meetings called morning company formation in the military, you're right: I don't get the point.
"You are anonymous"
I am not Anonymous.

But. But.
I AM a pick and place robot, you insensitive clod!
Actually, I prefer gooseberry Pi.
"I've been throwing my money at the screen for months and NOTHING'S HAPPENING!!!"
Patience. Soon we'll be able to say "Stick a fork in it. The Pi's done."

"starting with LA, which, really, isn't that bad an idea"
Certainly has worked for a lot of movies.
But somehow, it doesn't quite rate up with Godzilla's thing for stomping Tokyo.
Now, why are you insulting those respectable and successful savannah dwelling primates by comparing them to a lower life form?
"Does ANYONE on Slashdot know that this guy is an ex-pro baseball player?"
Yeah, I do.
What does that have to do with this?
"Why is Jesus on the moon?"
Because he got tired of the arguments on slashdot and gave up on earth.
"Illinois has a much higher rate of political corruption than any other state"
That doesn't neccesarily follow.
We certainly have a higher rate of them being so brazen or foolish they get caught.

A black flapper?
