07:48 schestowitz-TR; i've come to the conclusion trhat many types of NDA are indistinguishable from bribes
07:48 schestowitz-TR; e.g. lobbying
07:48 schestowitz-TR; the modus is, we pay the bribe a priori
07:48 schestowitz-TR; e.g. freenode
07:48 schestowitz-TR; you do some evil things for me
07:48 schestowitz-TR; and then, in case you want to talk about what I told you to do
07:48 schestowitz-TR; I will offer you a bribe to stop talking about it
07:48 schestowitz-TR; inctead the bribes is included in the contract with some distant cash0iin date
07:48 schestowitz-TR; assuming the bribe giver can facilitate at all
07:48 schestowitz-TR; by that stae, when nda expires or embargo lifted
07:48 schestowitz-TR; the interest or impact died down already
07:48 schestowitz-TR; like cia declassifying things 50 years (odd) later
07:58 schestowitz-TR; rianne also says "it's a form of bribe"
07:58 schestowitz-TR; no strings attached
07:58 schestowitz-TR; microsoft uses that to silence staff
07:58 schestowitz-TR; it should be illegal, it helps encourage and embolden crminals
07:58 schestowitz-TR; not even a soft bribe, not even too witty
08:08 techrigthssec; NDAs are inherently used to silence but also in some ways to prevent
08:08 techrigthssec; competition
08:08 techrigthssec; It sounds like the one case used it to hide a bribe
08:19 schestowitz-TR; it is a bribe to hide another bribe
08:19 schestowitz-TR; here is some bribe, don't talk about it and then you will get another one
08:19 schestowitz-TR; how bill gates handles the media as well
08:19 schestowitz-TR; here is a bribe
08:19 schestowitz-TR; don't criticise me
08:19 schestowitz-TR; and then I will get another bribe your way
08:20 schestowitz-TR; the canary came out only once
08:20 schestowitz-TR; in 2019
08:20 schestowitz-TR; or rather, stopped coming out after that
08:38 schestowitz-TR; this whole dicussion can, over time, help me more properly explain what happened
08:38 schestowitz-TR; we don't know exactly
08:38 schestowitz-TR; but I got a hint once and rianne was a witness too
08:38 schestowitz-TR; i suppose that verbal mention was itself a violation of the nda

11:24 schestowitz-TR; quick search in ebay shows that similar ones, same brand, similar condition would cost 15-20
11:24 schestowitz-TR; we paid 5
11:24 schestowitz-TR; *binoculars
11:24 schestowitz-TR; I have them, next to me for watching the bird sometimes
11:24 schestowitz-TR; as computer breaks, maybe 2 per hour
11:24 schestowitz-TR; tuxmachines busy today as I am catching up with yesterday's links
11:24 schestowitz-TR; grep|wc -l shows tuxmachines volume up 5% of so since last month
11:24 schestowitz-TR; for tm-new, so at least the trend is positive, despite many sites seeing declines in recent years
