A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

MODERATORS
In Australia the politicians get token board positions, upon retirement, at the corporations whom they legislate in favour of.
It requires trust: the corporation has to have a reputation in following through with these very indirect bribes years after the favor was done.
Even if Renewables corps wanted to play the same game, they could not compete with oil and coal corps because they don't have the connections, the scale for lucrative board positions or the reputation as "honest" crooks.
