This is being developed for the millitary, it doesn't every really have to be commercially viable. it just has to be viable enough to allow extended operations while reducing need for resupply to be be considered viable.
oracle still has a useful product that people want. (not sure why) but because of this they might survive. people would be willing to trade other resources to them for their product. which requires specialized skill and knowledge to produces, and this creates value.
a company like Apple on the other hand is potentially screwed. simply because they hold so much money in the bank all of which would be useless now, so they would lose nearly all their value. the only value they would have is whatever products they currently have in a warehouse, and their manufacturing abilities, which much of that they purchase from other people and don't do in-house. however they would have some intellectual value in their developers.
i don't agree with all you are saying but some of the tech companies would possibly be screwed.
Intel might survive as they still own most of their foundries and their product takes a lot of specialized skill and knowledge to produce.
yes indeed they would pay their militia. Corporations are large and control a lot of resources i am sure they could find something of value to use to pay their militia.
so, what keeps the military from killing the president and other govt leaders now?
corporations are practically governments themselves. they have similar authority structures. i would imagine the corporation would print its own banknotes, or would trade in some item that has intrinsic value. in the past many places printed their own banknotes and they were accepted in various other places for trade. and they would likely accept them in the company owned stores.
people would work for the militia because they would indeed be paid and the force of the militia would provide backing for the companies own banknotes, similar to how you seem to think the govt somehow magically provides value to their currency.
yes indeed i think a 70 year old suit is going to maintain control. money buys loyalty and i guarantee the business men are smart and would be paying their militia well. what makes you think they wouldn't be able to find something of value to continue paying them? they are big and already control a lot of resources. those resources can be converted into something to pay the employees and keep them loyal. they would just hire a few more employees to maintain security.
in the power vacuum if the government suddenly disappeared, large corporations are the best suited to take their place as they already have the internal control and authority structures setup.

and wouldn't that be the purpose of ACL's and firewalls? you can share the same physical network but with proper ACL's you shouldn't be able to access the financial segment of the network from the hvac segment.
what purpose does any of the hvac machines need on the financial side of the network? any traffic going between the two (in either direction!) should be blocked and send up red flags.
who cares who is liable for automated cars, this is what insurance is for. insurance companies will adapt.
do you sit there worrying now who is liable if YOU suddenly decide you have no idea whats going on and cause an accident?
now if you are concerned about the safety of an automated care, which is sounds you are, that is a different matter, but the liability argument really doesn't seem to interesting. i am already liable for my car how does that really change with a self driving car?
now what if it is proven that self driving cars have a better safety record than human drivers?
a similar thing can happen in the US. it is called contempt of court.
H. Beatty Chadwick is the record holder for serving 14 years for contempt of court. This was basically for a divorce. apparently they finally released him in 2009.
In Chadwick v. Janecka (3d Cir. 2002), a U.S. court of appeals held that H. Beatty Chadwick could be held indefinitely under federal law, for his failure to produce US $ 2.5 mill. as state court ordered in a civil trial.
you have nothing to worry about they aren't changing the value that an amp is on your multimeter.
what is happening is that now in extremely high precision experiments they can now measure an Amp down to say 15+ decimal places using the new definition. previously they had no way to calibrate their equipment to that degree of accuracy.
I think part of the reason they tried to sweep digital under the rug was that they were always a film company, not a camera company. even you lament the loss of their film, not their cameras. Kodak was essentially trying to sell the disposable blades for the razors.
Indeed their downfall was inept management, it was mostly wishful thinking on their part that they could just forget about digital. at least from their perspective printing was a very logical step from film. the printers needed a bunch of disposable items such as paper and ink, very much like film in a analog camera. what they failed to notice is that people were happy viewing their pictures on a screen and didn't need to have them printed out as much..

since when has taxes ever had any relation to how much the government spends? (at least for the US)
never in my memory, they have been talking about the budget deficit since at least the 80's
every abandoned car on earth would have an alternator. just need to rig something to spin it and you have electricity, say make a windmill.
heck all the cars also have batteries i would have to imagine at least some of those would still work as well.
electricity wouldn't be too hard to get.
part of defending a network is understanding how it can be attacked. so you can develop countermeasures to mitigate the attacks.
so it helps when defending a network if you are also good at attacking one.
really what they are saying is that a universe could arise from fluctuations in a quantum vacuum.
which is basically the lowest known energy state of anything. and is about as close to "nothing" as we have ever found in nature.

oops sorry i guess i was mixing miles per hour and gallons per minute in my units
F-18 going Mach 0.5 sea level = 163 gallons per minute
about 2.3 miles per gallon? not bad, much better than i thought it would do.
better than some super cars
and balancing a budget.
who taught them this? certainly not congress.
i suppose you are a member of peta? people for the ethical treatment of apostrophes
but i like eating tasty animals in pita's you insensitive clod!
with it's C-x M-c M-Butterfly command, emacs just breeds lazy programmers.

and what makes you think the corporations wouldn't employ their own militia in the absence of that govt protection?
heck even now many large corporations already employ their own security personnel.
won't he be embarrassed when they release it and it looks nothing like his costume!

i am pretty sure it was well known before this that shooting someone typically gets you in trouble

and a smart person installs a switch and turns them off when they aren't in use.
A simple Google search for "non-nuclear EMP"...
and as an added bonus probably gets you added to several lists maintained by govt agencies, such as the no-fly list.
