The Constitution has provisions to handle this unfortunately and if Mike Pence isn't impeached as well, he's in and there's a pecking order as to who gets in determined as well if I recall correctly.
Oddly, not what I was expecting when I read "Tulip mania". I thought of the Japanese band Tulip. I have their album Tulip Best (vinyl LP) given to me by a CISV (Children's International Summer Villages) exchange student from Japan in 1979 - when I was 16. (I was suppose to visit Japan the next summer, but was unable as my parents were divorced and I moved from living with my father to with my mother and my father wouldn't pay and my mother couldn't afford it.)
Bitcoin is so complicated to use as an actual currency.... Bitcoin on the other hand is fucking ridiculous, you have to pay 26 USD, understand the concepts of how many megabytes of currency you want to transfer (fucking wat?!) and then even after all that it might take a week just to get your money anyway..
The worse part about it is it isn't any better than having money in the bank because you're money is held hostage to the whims of the developers that write the bitcoin code. So unlike Banks that have to abide by government regulations the developers of all the different bitcoin programs can get together and legally fuck you over in all sorts of ways.
You can chose how much you want to give, including zero, but those who give the most get priority. And because the system is overloaded, you need to give a lot just to be accepted.
Sounds like something you'd hear about the FCC plan to kill Net Neutrality.
In short, ISPs will be free to do whatever they want -- unless they make specific promises to avoid engaging in specific types of anti-competitive or anti-consumer behavior. When companies make promises and break them, the FTC can punish them for deceiving consumers.
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai and Acting FTC Chair Maureen Ohlhausen are counting on. "Instead of saddling the Internet with heavy-handed regulations, we will work together to take targeted action against bad actors," Pai said...
If ISPs make promises to behave as the "heavy-handed" rules would specify and they can be punished for breaking either, then how are having rules more onerous than relying on promises? (Hint: They're not.) Of course, if the ISPs don't make specific (or any) promises - or any that benefit the consumer -- then they're not "bad actors" and punishing those will be difficult. Oh, wait...
Seems like Verizon is getting their money's worth with Pai.

The records are supposed to be preserved in the case of litigation, furthermore, the Election Commission was given notice and they destroyed the records anyway. So, not standard operating procedure, willful destruction of evidence.
Marilyn Marks, the executive director of the Coalition, a group that is also a plaintiff in the lawsuit, told Ars that she had issued a litigation hold notice to the defendants.
"They know that they are required to preserve all records when they are sued," she e-mailed. "They don’t need court order. Even IF the SOS office didn’t have three dozen attorneys to tell them to preserve the records, they got this attached letter from us on July 10 and destroyed the second server hard drive on August 9."
Fortunately, it looks like the FBI may have a forensic backup of the data - as noted in "UPDATE 11:40pm ET" at the end of the article.
I don't think there's a problem with the idea of systemd. Having a standard way to handle process start-up, dependencies, failures, recovery, "contracts", etc... isn't a bad, or unique, thing -- Solaris has Service Manager, for example. I think there's just too many things unnecessarily built into systemd rather than it utilizing external, usually, already existing utilities. Does systemd really need, for example, NFS, DNS, NTP services built-in? Why can't it run as PID 2 and leave PID1 for init to simply reap orphaned processes? Would make it easier to restart or handle a failed systemd w/o rebooting the entire system (or so I've read).
In short, systemd has too many things stuffed into its kitchen sink -- if you want that, use Emacs:-)

A server and its backups, believed to be key to a pending federal lawsuit filed against Georgia election officials, was thoroughly deleted according to e-mails recently released under a public records request.
The new e-mails, which were sent by the Coalition for Good Governance to Ars, show that Chris Dehner, one of the Information Security staffers, e-mailed his boss, Stephen Gay, to say that the two backup servers had been "degaussed three times."
Most of us are probably too young to remember the TECO editor, from the early 1960s, but...
It has been observed that a TECO command sequence more closely resembles transmission line noise than readable text. One of the more entertaining games to play with TECO is to type your name in as a command line and try to guess what it does. Just about any possible typing error while talking with TECO will probably destroy your program, or even worse - introduce subtle and mysterious bugs in a once working subroutine.
Also, I assert that there are no language flaws in Perl, just obscure and/or advanced usages, some of which may be dangerous to you, others or the planet.
Holders of large amounts of bitcoin are often known as whales.
Not to be sub-classist, but everyone knows cetaceans are trouble makers, especially dolphins. I'm worried that their laissez-faire attitude toward life may infect monetary stability, solvency and policies.
Chanting does a lot of good. It really changes things, because the government really cares what you think.
I think the effectiveness depends on where it happens. For example, many top-level Republicans are chanting "rape, pillage, plunder", but *only* in private. In public, they quietly write/pass bills and endorse people to make it happen. So, as with many thing, know your audience.
That would imply they're blowing him when it's more apparent that he's blowing them, but I get your intent. Perhaps the Real Doll company can make a sex doll that looks like Ajit Pai?
Pai's proposed net neutrality repeal says those requirements and others adopted in 2015 are too onerous for ISPs.
Too onerous to tell people exactly what they're paying for? If the ISPs can charge you for it, they can list it on the bill. Perhaps consumers should consider it "too onerous" to pay for things that aren't listed.
Earth sourced (using the earth as a heat sink) heat pumps are also a thing.
Yup, I forgot to mention that, thanks. My parents had a closed-loop, ground-source heat pump installed about two years ago. The unit is very small, super quite and, apparently, works really well for both heating and cooling. Installing the in-ground piping was a bit expensive though. I have the back yard space for all that, and was interested in having one, but ground-source units (and installers) weren't readily available in my area when I had my unit replaced in 2005.
