I used quotations around the term bribe for a reason. By definition, if it's legal, it's not a bribe although it may walk like a duck and quack like a duck. One of the issues is an incentive problem: those who have the power to make it illegal are also those who benefit the most from it being legal.

>Unless we want to make political donations illegal

I think this is displaying dichotomous thinking. There's a lot of room between a political donation free-for-all and making political donations illegal. In between there are many proposals for a more mitigated approach. One being Lessig's idea of "Democracy Vouchers"[1]

I think it's time for a 'war on viruses'. Pick the top 10 viruses by human impact (both initial infection and suspected ongoing health degradation). Make mRNA vaccines for each, and spray them from a plane over major cities.

As an American entity or an entity that does business with the US Government, you are required to get a license to transfer goods of almost any sort within Russia. [1]

The current recommendation from the American Bar Association is to destroy any goods remaining in Russia instead of trying to liquidate them for cash. If you're an American business leaving an office behind, smash the computers and the phones before you leave because you'll need a license to transfer them. If you leave them behind, that's considered a transfer too. It's a very easy way to make sure your company is bankrupt and you're blacklisted from ever importing or exporting anything ever again. Likely you will get extra super special secondary screening at the airport just for fun.

I don't agree with the person your replying to but its clear that they aren't using "nature" to mean "things happening outside" or "things happening to non-humans". When people say "against nature" almost always they are saying that something runs contrary to the nature of man in such a way as to inhibit an ordering towards flourishing. Against nature means something not conducive to the proper ordering of the human person, so a house is not in principle "against nature" since it acts in accord with human nature and furthers human flourishing rather than frustrating our natural faculties.

Hey, I don't want to argue with you and I wish you all the best. But you are twisting my mask comparison. In my comparison, pulling the mask all the way over your nose means giving in and using WhatsApp without any objections. The comparison is not a moral one but refers to how one behaves to an imperative that does not come from an individual but from a mass of people that surrounds one.

I also think that WhatsApp is evil, but that doesn't change the fact that a lot of communication takes place via this medium. Doing without it altogether has real opportunity costs. In this respect, it's up to each individual to decide whether and how to use it. It's similar to criticism of consumption and capitalism: in the end, you still have to buy your food somewhere and pay for it with money.

They are effectively paying for viewings, they are just not directly paying for viewings. How do you know you will never be interested in something if you are never told things exist?

Of course, if you are so anti-advert that you can't accept the slightest possibility that a sponsor segment relevant to the clip you are consuming can't ever possibly be of interest to you, or you'd avoid it even if it would otherwise interest you simply because you were informed about it by a sponsor segment, then yes, automatically skipping won't make any difference. But I consider that thought process to be somewhat blinkered, perhaps even reductio ad absurdum.

The right now defines itself in terms of the extremists who are the largest minority of that population who are pretty open about being fascists in all but label wherein center right is redefined as those who would tolerate fascists in service of dubious values. Prior center right from decades past is finding their positions redefined as "woke" or "liberal".

In the current context of defining the right in terms of extremism there is no value in a public square including more extremists or their apologists. They have nothing to say worth hearing because the nuggets of wisdom would be embedded in an ocean of bullshit. Incidentally this is essentially a heavily moderated mostly lefty area by most current right wingers definition. Because of this its filled with actual discussion.

Ask HN: Any remote companies that don't do offsites/retreats?
I feel this will be highly unusual given that almost every company I see has something like an offsite or a retreat advertised on their careers page.

First off, I understand why companies do this. There are a couple reasons they do this.

However, I'm an introvert. I understand some of you reading may not be, so perhaps you'll have a hard time relating. Ignore that feeling while reading this and please try to provide an objective response this post if you can. I'm not posting this to start a digression about remote work or people's personalities.

Are there any companies that don't do this? Are there any companies that let you actually work remotely without these week long excursions?

As a fairly introverted person these things fill me with some amount of dread. Luckily haven't had to attend any so far, but I don't know how long that will continue.

The raise of remote work has been a blessing and a curse in this respect -- for me at least.
Yes, because shitty-encryption-where-we-give-you-the-keys-but-dont-at-the-same-time has worked so well for....

Nintendo SNES,N64,Wii,GameCube, Switch

And plenty others.

Oh wait, Switch is so bad, that an emulator is already superb, and had a 7 day early leak/release of Zelda, with patches that make it better on computer than Switch.

So, I'm not super worried about "shitty encryption".
Ability to recover from that is one of the few things of value in the AT protocol (Bluesky) and something I expect will get pilfered in one way or another eventually.
Everything you download already comes with the mark of the web, which stops most simple exploitation in its tracks. That's why malware distribution has to go through annoying side steps like attacker controlled SMB servers over the internet to spread executable files.

Also, Windows ACLs come with an execute permission per user, group, or any other policy related object. It's enabled by default for executable files you're allowed to read, but there's absolutely nothing stopping you from making executables unexecutable.

Furthermore, just about every executable file gets a massive "you're about to infect your computer, kill your pets and sacrifice your children to Satan" prompt by default. You can disable it, but it's enabled in almost every other case.

That's why attackers leverage the side effects of fringe cases, like RTF OLE embeddings and CHM/MHT wrappers.

Half the steps in this graph would work for macOS or Linux as well if they're set up for corporate environments. Most of it is browsers and office applications just doing their thing. Notice how none of these include code actually executable in an operating context until the very end, when the very last sandbox has been escaped and a script downloads the actual payload from a position where it would be able to set the executable bit anyway.
You say if they "drop OTA" but arent the regs all based on "Free to Air" language that an encrypted transmission would not satisfy? This would be like publishing GPG encrypted source code and saying that you are complying with the GPL

> I imagine ATSC 3.0 tuners will eventually proliferate

Unlikely. There's not enough bandwidth[1] in traditional TV spectrum to be worth the hassle[2].

At its absolute peak of value, broadcast TV is basically a bandwidth optimization on top of the already-very-acceptable streaming video delivery available to everyone at reasonable prices.

Would you install a roof antenna for a few bucks a month off your Netflix or Disney bill? Me neither.

[1] A quick google says 57Mbps is the maximum per-channel bandwidth in ATSC3, and you only get a dozen or so channels in a metro area without building more giant towers.

[2] Because if there was, mobile telephone operators would have grabbed that spectrum already for their vastly more lucrative industry.

I really don’t understand this Twitter obsession. In my mind, Musk literally did a Last King Of Scotland type of drama where he proved that too much power for too long will always drive you completely insane. God complex, paranoid, and generally feeling you need to parent the world, even by force. He is not quite a warlord but digitally quite comparable.

He was good with cars, Mars, internet for the masses. Why???

If I could be in charge of, or do real meaningful engineering, why go social media mogul after that; it’s downward and it is lame. So I draw the above conclusions; he went mental with power.

Exactly, Windows is asking for permission to execute the executable file.

Despite the high taxation, Canada's public services are quite limited, inefficient, and of rather low quality.

Taxation is also just a small part of the government-imposed economic problems that Canada is facing.

Canada's invasive regulatory overhead and high property/rental costs, for example, make it quite difficult to start and successfully operate small businesses.

Small businesses are what truly pull people out of poverty, both as entrepreneurs and as employees.

Even something as inherently simple as hiring an employee, for example, is far more difficult and costly than it should be in Canada. It often makes more sense for owner-operators to shoulder the burden themselves rather than hiring, even if it means they're over-worked.

We can't forget that some small businesses will eventually grow into larger ones, providing even more employment opportunities, too.

The more that the Canadian government has gotten involved in the Canadian economy, the worse the situation has gotten.

Apparently there's a scarcity of builders and when given a choice, they'll choose the bigger more lucrative contracts?

> only way one can argue that the studios are "not in a position to concede on" these demands is if they take Wall Street's insistence

Sure, this. Management is constrained because, after the last years' spending and leverage binge, they are unusually dependent on investors. Investors who didn't like the past years of spending levels and demanded cuts. Cuts management promised and the WGA delivered.

> on ever-increasing growth

I don't think this is about growth. See this commentary on Discovery's equity [1]. The focus isn't growth, but servicing debt. If they give into the WGA, there are knock-on concessions to other unions, and altogether that could bankrupt them. Certainly quicker than not putting out scripted content.

To be super clear, I think the writers deserve better pay. But the strike doesn't make sense.
