> Unless the remote system (where the video is being received) is untrustworthy

Well, that's part of the threat model. There is no need to trust the remote end fully, especially since I'm hoping that I can host at Google / OVH / Hetzner / whatever. I trust them as a backup and not to collude with a burglar, but why give them plaintext data?

... To answer my own question, not adding encryption makes life easy I suppose... but that's not very satisfactory imo :)
Yes, this happens frequently. They are termed "facilitation payments" rather than bribes, they are budgeted and accounted for as expenses, and the official direction of briefing materials at at least three Fortune 100 companies (that I know of) directs people to pay them.
Are other races somehow not American? I never understood this argument.

"If it weren't for all those black people and immigrants we'd actually be really good! Those other countries are just too 'homogenous'. "

And then somehow this fact apparently dismisses other countries efforts at providing universal/preventative healthcare and initiatives that the US simply does not.
It isn't going to be taught unless you are going to be doing business in a country where it is the unavoidable norm with the people who are known fordoing it. Otherwise you will be trained to not pay bribes.
To play devils advocate, masks could be ineffective if people tend to behave in more dangerous ways while comforted by wearing a mask. For example, by spending more time around people, frequently touching public objects, standing much closer to people, etc.

That's nothing new. Senator Dianne Feinstein got a permit to carry a concealed handgun in San Francisco. There has always been one set of rules for the powerful and another set for the rest of us.
Sure, but what does it mean to contribute something back? Is a for-profit entity taking your code and profiting off of it what the original idea behind open source was? Or was the idea more something like creating computer labs in Africa with Raspberry PIs?

> but, in some countries, you report your bribes on taxes, they're so common.

Can you give any examples of those countries? Countries with high amount of bribing tend to also be countries with large off-the-record economies, therefore I am skeptical of that proposition.

FYI in the US, you can claim tax deductibility on bribes paid in foreign countries iff they are not legally classified as bribes in the respective local laws.

The i5 model costs more than the M1 and still doesn't perform as well. So that the i3 should be cheaper is somewhat moot.
I think this (allowing some form of default for backwards compatibility) is a underrated point.

The common modern example being async functions, I would say it's actually quite surprising that JavaScript can't seem to provide the sane default behavior of "block this non-async function until the async function it calls returns a value".

The reason it can't is simply that it chooses not to provide a runtime with a true threading model - blocking a non-async function means literally blocking the entire runtime. But there's a possible world in which a "colored" (async) function could be used directly in a synchronous function using an escape hatch provided by the runtime, and then async functions would no longer be colored in the same way.

No, but they do investigate other LEO agencies for corruption. See: the article.

Not always. If the local laws don't classify it legally as bribe you can pay it and even claim it on your taxes as cost of doing business.

"Officials administrating the permitting process have discretion to act."

City councils are political bodies, and within their jurisdictions are the ultimate authority on what should and should not be allowed.

LEOs are employees of the state, and are meant to follow the dictates of the legislature or other political body that governs them.

If you want to negotiate a legitimate trade of public donation in exchange for a CCW, that needs to be done publicly through democratic and legal processes.
I mean, we're literally on Hacker News.
a) Being laid off is not nearly as bad as actually being stolen from (especially in countries with unemployment benefits)

b) Speaking from personal experience: having your wages stolen puts you in a horrible position of wondering if maybe you’ll get paid if you keep your head down, or worrying that you’ll be fired if you complain. The extortion is inherent in the nature of the theft, unlike shoplifting and most corporate embezzlement. It’s not just the money, it’s long-term abuse and exploitation of people who can’t easily defend themselves.

c) Obviously there is a scale: the Enron embezzlement (which is analogous to your extreme example) is worse than stealing $100 from a single worker. But $50bn in stolen wages is a much graver crime than $50bn in embezzled goods.
I agree but I want to point out it's actually worse than you make it sound. One of the indicted officers is second in command in Santa Clara County!
>>> By analogy, most things in the world are apolitical until quarrelsome people with pet issues show up and make them political.

>> Stated another way, you're saying the people who want change are troublemakers who should know their place.

> First, that's only the case if you assume that by "political" I mean bad. But "political" isn't necessarily bad.

No, I assume that by "quarrelsome people with pet issues" you mean bad. I thought that was pretty obvious.

> In other words, to make something political is often to exercise power at the expense of others and to justify it by portraying your action as serving to overturn a status quo.

This is "speech is violence" level nonsense.

If someone challenges a status quo that you like ("makes something political" in your parlance), then actually defend that status quo. Don't gripe about how those quarrelsome people ruined your nice "apolitical day."
Definitely. You just need to keep an eye out for people removing failing tests because they think they are irrelevant :|
Most "defensive programming" is this kind of mistake, in my experience. For example it's far better for the program to crash immediately on an unexpected null than to pass through a bunch of functions that never expected to receive null but "defensively" bail out in that case, and then you eventually get an error miles away from the original problem. Erlang achieves extremely high reliability through its explicit "let it crash" philosophy: as soon as any component gets into an unexpected state it should abort, and rely on higher-level error handling, rather than try to continue.
Maybe it's because of the US spending a lot chasing diminishing returns for rich people but little on impactful interventions for the poor.
Oops, I did not read carefully enough.
While that is true, I think that some of these things are tied to local culture too, which is why the Coastal distinction does have some merit.

If you generally are in the Bay Area or LA you rarely see the level of obesity you see in say Houston despite the fact that both areas despite being rich have their fair share of the poor too.

Similarly for smoking. It's exceedingly rare to see public smoking in the Bay Area.

Similarly for diets. When traveling in the South I was amazed at just how ridiculously unhealthy the average food eaten by the average person there was. Everything deep fried, laden with calories, consumed along with sugary drinks.
It's not spent efficiently.

USA food marketing scientifically and effectively puts the best tasting processed food in front of American families. Lack of income is no barrier to consuming the worst foods.

Freedom in the USA is a wonderful thing.

But Americans are thereby free to poison themselves to an early grave by the consumption of processed foods that taste great, are extremely convenient and available to any income.
Quid pro quo for CCW permits is definitely bribery. Yes, there is a lot of negotiation and back scratching in govt, and a lot of it is unethical and illegal as well.

It's a bit more intermingled. For example, Williamson County, TN (Nashville suburbs) is one of the 10 highest-income counties in the entire country. The Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago, and Denver suburbs are also very affluent.

Wikipedia's collected some of the recent per-county census data here, although that isn't a perfect metric since states vary a lot in county size: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-income_countie...

In general there's a good/bad outcomes split within (almost?) every major American city between the affluent and the poor neighborhoods. I haven't verified this with the life-expectancy data, but I would bet it differs more between rich vs. poor areas within each state, than it does between coastal and non-coastal states.

Not really, it's really theft.

Were it not theft, the property would only be confiscated at the end of legal proceedings, IF it turned out it was related to the crime in question, IF the person was convicted. If those conditions did not hold, the assets should be returned.

In actuality, no crime is required for the property to be confiscated. It can be as simple as carrying a "substantial" amount of money in your person during a road trip, and getting pulled over. Where substantial is subjective. Let's say 1k.

Then your 1000 dollars get prosecuted, in a case titled "United States VS 1000 dollars in 10 dollar bills" and your money has to defend itself. I am not joking.

This mechanism was created – supposedly – to empty the coffers of suspected drug dealers in cases police couldn't actually prove their guilt. It was designed to be used on people that haven't been convicted.

That's not limited to money. It could be a house. It doesn't matter.

All it requires is a 'preponderance of evidence' that the property is related to a crime, which is a low bar. And even if it turns out that the charges are valid, it's still not ok. Because it's related to a property, not a person, you get cases like this:

TLDR: i'd take unhappy-rich over hungry-poor any day. But the best thing would be the happy medium where you are comfortable enough to afford food/schooling but not in a social class where there are obscene social expectations to spend -- so your question is a fair one.

I think the key thing was getting past the lower rungs of the Maslow hierarchy. It is very difficult to concentrate on schooling (or anything) when you are hungry or sick. I was constantly hungry when we didnt have free public school meals. A close relative had TB, due to poor healthcare where the hospital/system didn't seem to give a darn. The worst thing is how horrible normal people treated you (even teachers at public school.) I was constantly sick, probably due to poor nutrition.

College was great, I will still poor, but the prospects were getting better and all the basics were covered (no longer hungry; decent healthcare). This allowed more happiness because you knew it would be over soon.

With better jobs comes more stress -- the expectations (perhaps justified) that one should have a home, that one should have a school for children w/o crime/gangs -- and bigger mortgages, bigger spending. I live fairly conservatively despite decent career success, but I can see how I could "become unhappy trying to reach happiness"
...
all that said, i'd take unhappy-rich to hungry-poor any day.
I love this! I've been using mine as a webcam for a couple months now (among other side-projects). You need a different lens though.

The 6mm fisheye lens is crappy and the distortion is terrible. The 16mm lens is higher quality but the zoom makes it difficult to use as a webcam.

I bought the 6mm M12 portrait lens from https://commonlands.com/products/portrait-6mm-m12-lens which works much better. Being M12 it's not the best form factor, but it has a rectilinear picture and the framing is what you want for a webcam.

Oh, you're suggesting he use Apple to, uh, "lean on" the sheriff? That seems much worse. One might even hope that was not one of his possible options, even as CSO...

Choosing NIX - Installer from GRUB just boots live, not actually an installation process.

I tried copying the USB stick to a partition using cp -Lr. Still not booting. I tried manually specifying that partition using GRUB. The errors were:

mount: mounting /dev/root on /mnt-root/iso failed: No such file or directory

At that point I gave up.
I think most companies would prefer their employees not go missing in some African hellhole or get incarcerated on bullshit charges wherever.

There's little difference between bribes and highway banditry in some places, and not playing along will very likely not end well for you.

My uncle farms 80 acres, a pittance these days, with a four row John Deere 4400 combine, ca. 1975.
That's why organisations use proxy security and travel agents to pay those bribes. It's built into the price.

American Express GBT, BCD Travel, CWT, FCM Travel, they all offer it. It's usually expensed as "Consulting" or "Advisory", however never separated in invoiced line-items.

Every single large tech organisation has made lip-service commitments publicly to not accept bribes, but also operate in countries where it's the absolute norm. How is that handled? Through an intermediary.
There's a small (and free) indie game called STAVKA-OKH that tasks the player with prosecuting the Nazi war on the Eastern Front—and DOES acknowledge the political and moral issues in fascinating and unexpected ways.

Doesn't http progressive download (over https) achieve this? I could be wrong, but I think if you just configure nginx with SSL and have the webcam dump to some sort of a raw file format, you should be able to download the file and since you're using SSL now it's encrypted. It won't be a true streaming server, but should be close enough.

You may need to have the client send a byte range header with each request to ensure you always start near the end of the stream so it's closer to realtime.
Yeah, that's the point I was trying to make. GP is appalled at commenters breaking for Apple, and I'm just pointing out that their response is best understood as a projection of themselves into Apple's shoes. And in that case the response is reasonable. But of course the unreasonable thing those commenters need to realize is that Apple is insanely powerful and insanely powerful institutions putting up with corruption is Not OK.

The article describes in detail how the WeWork saga decimated the coworking industry, but you don't care because that doesn't match your experience and you don't depend on coworking spaces. That is really cold.

I've been working with startups part or full time since 1991 and am amazed at how disruptive they are to the markets in which they participate. Getting a huge pool of money and then spending it to achieve dominance in the shortest possible time does lots of damage to markets, in particular in makes the bootstrapping path nearly impossible since customers can't compete with investors.

Issuing CCW permits isn't a negotiation of city land or development. It is literally a Driver's License for carrying a firearm in public. Should the DMV counter person get to haggle with every person trying to get a driver's license in the name of the public good?
It's not illegal to carry a firearm loaded and exposed in California if you have the proper license issued by BSIS, which is separate from a CCW.

Not really, there’s countless cities with tons of well off upper middle class people in the middle of the country.

Metro-Denver, Metro-Austin/Dallas/Huston, Metro-Atlanta, Metro-Nashville, Metro-Chicago, Metro-Detroit, Metro-Minneapolis, etc. etc. etc.

I’d say it’s more city/suburban vs rural. This doesn’t account for the poor & homeless in all of America’s inner cities, but does a better job explaining.

Maybe “Fortune 500 headquarters adjacent” is the better indicator. The towns with big global companies almost always have affluent suburbs surrounding them. Even Cincinnati has tons of affluent people due to P&G.

Sure, find some customers and sue on their behalf; this is a product liability issue. However, you would have to show actual damages to collect much. If the router the plaintiff purchased was never compromised, it might be tough to claim significant damages. Even the purported harm to privacy would have to be demonstrated. There may be other crimes related to selling compromised hardware, but that might require actual knowledge or constructive knowledge that the products were compromised.

So for example, if you buy a defective helmet for your kid from Walmart, the kid gets into an accident, and the kid dies, you sue Walmart for damages commensurate to the death of the child. For the router, you have to show the compromise that resulted from the vulnerability and the damages that ensued. If there was no compromise and just the potential for compromise the damages may be quite limited.

So Walmart might have some good faith defenses and it might be challenging to show enough damages.

There may also be some fines that the FTC could levy related to this because of the deceptive trade practices associated with selling a fatally defective product that could pose serious risks to privacy.
This isn't about your success, it is about the failure of others. WeWork is dying a protracted death, but it did a huge amount of damage to coworking providers before it blew up.

Genetics are about 2/3s of life expectancy. If you wish to compare ethnically inhomogeneous populations versus those that are homogenous, your comparison is not useful for anything. Urbanized (or rural) Asians in the US live longer than Asians elsewhere. The same is true for Blacks.
