It happened to the poor bastard IMF head who made the VERY stupid mistake of challenging the supremacy of the U.S. Dollar
Calling Strauss-Kahn "the poor bastard IMF head" is fucking hilarious. The guy is a total joke -- "I didn't know all those young women I was butt-fucking were prostitutes, I thought they wanted me for my good looks" -- yeah, right.
Republican Governor Charlie Baker signed the law, which specifically bans ride-sharing services from passing those costs on to their drivers or riders.
Yup, sure worked for those Nader voters didn't it -- they got Bush elected but at least the Democrats adopted their platform. Oh, hang on a minute, they didn't.
At the start of the 20th century, most of the United States' population was agricultural peasants. In the same time span, our society became [...] better educated than the USSR's [...]
In contrast, just about every other reactor design has a built-in negative feedback mechanism of some kind. That is, while you can actively screw up the reactor -- slam the control rods full open and override the automatic emergency shutdown system for example -- and cause a problem, you can also more or less just walk away from the controls and the reactor will slowly shut down by itself after some hours or days with zero chance of a meltdown.
As Fukushima shows that happens not to be true.
Most currently running designs will shut down, but if the cooling is turned off most of them will still melt down due to decay heat.
Now, without massive destruction of surrounding infrastructure (like an enormous earthquake and tsunami) and near-total incompetence by the operator that is not likely to happen. But, as Fukishima shows, it can happen.
No, the problem is not enforcing competition after privatisation.
Here in France the PTT (minstry of posts, telephone and telecommunications) used to have a monopoly. When they were part privatized as France Telecom a competition authority was setup who insisted that the new France Telecom allowed competing companies to have access the the existing network (that had been funded by the state).
As a result we now have multiple ISP's in almost all locations, providing multiple competing broadband solutions (ASDL, FTTH, Cable...) for prices of around 20-30 EUR/month.
Capitalism -- it works, as long as government is prepared to stand behind the capitalists with a big enough stick.

Somewhere I read that the real reason to push systemd had to do with its LGPL licensing.
Well, that's an interesting new piece of nonsense.
Still nonsense though, and I preferred the crazier CIA/NSA conspiracy theories.
There is nothing on the Devuan mailing list about this.
It's almost like they've given up.
But they're cool with the unknown government agents?
You do know Tor was started by the US "intelligence community"?

Thanks to SSL I can connect to an unencrypted WiFi, and be mostly safe.

You trust wifi encryption?
Yes, but is countable?
Many data or much data?
Me, I'd go with much.
My unsupported assertions trump research every time.
Economists, conservatives "puzzled".
Younger people have been using tech all their lives, but us old farts have been adapting to new tech all our lives.
Also, who do you think built all the tech?
If climate isn't location dependent, why aren't people vacationing in Antarctica?
What makes you think people aren't vacationing in Antarctica?
But then again, Einstein proved a hundred years ago that there was no such thing as time
The Dunning-Kruger is strong in this one.
Arguing that global warming isn't happening because it has bad consequences is literally insane.

That part is, frankly, debatable.
'cos Spain doesn't exist on your alternative earth?
So why does this never, ever happen?
It doesn't?
The last PWR built in the UK was Sizewell B. What do you think Sizewell A was?
The two EPRs planned are Hinkley point C. What do you think Hinkley point A and B were?
The EPR being build in France is Flamanvile 3. What do you think Flamanville 1 and 2 are?
The new Hinkley Point reactors in the UK are going to be insanely expensive, far exceeding the value of energy they generate.
Nope.

You care so much you need to tell us about it.
Oh, and Paris is not EET/EST, it's CET, CEST (aka Berlin time. This is either for ease of commerce or historical reasons, take your pick).
And if you are in Lisbon you're not in Paris. So "here" could be either Lisbon or Paris, but not both.
Anyway, the most important point is that any discussion of Perl must result in linguistic nit-picking.
(I'm a crazy Perl fan. Might like to pick up Perl6 one day).
In time an incremental approach works. The all-in-one approach rarely succeeds.
In America.
Of course in other countries it only tends to succeed just after global wars, so...
