I dont know, I would like to have a an HTML page back as an option

Microsoft just needs to add option of "pinning a Window to the background". To make the Window become fullscreen with no title bar, and prevent focus or interaction with the Window while it is pinned -- with your Desktop Icons and UI simply stacked on top of the Window, so your background could be any Window.

if you want HTML, then you could pin a shortcut to open a dedicated chromeless full-screen browser app.

This would be better than having a Video file or a HTML file as background - the background can be any application.

That's what you think.. but AI makes coding so easy in management's eye that they can create temporary seasonal coding positions for the winter each year - bring on a bunch of Desk Clerks. Add AI usage and basic coding to the job skills equirements, and stick them in the coding positions.

H1-B, you're only going to need a reasonably low number of people in the team to setup a remote office for the entire team

This is why we should make sure Offshore work performed for a US company by contract employees has to be legally classed as US source income - offshored services, and establish a tariff rate per hour on that higher than the H1B visa costs.

Import Duty on transferring the work performed in a foreign office into a US company.

The more they modernize in China, the more expensive their labor will get

The country China is the global leader in industrial automation worldwide; Robotics and AI are among those areas they have an advantage. The cost of human labor may be getting more and more expensive, but they need less and less of it.

Furthermore in all likelihood the price of labor in the US HAS to decrease in order to compete. Therefore the rate of wages in the US may decrease due to them.

Reddit gains an irrevocable, sub-licensable, royalty-free license for user-created content posted on its site.

You mean Reddit claims to have an irrevocable royalty-free license. Based on an assumption some clause they stuck in the fine print of a user agreement would be upholdable against every user of their website - including for completely unforseen users by users who posted them 5, 10 years ago, etc --- Including some users who are unaware of the terms at the time of uploading items to Reddit's service, And some users who are under the age of 18, and therefore lack the legal capacity to bind themself irrevokably to a contract at the time of submitting some content.

And Likely based on an ignorance of 1. Termination of agreements including irrevocability due to some contributors having passed away. 2. the Termination of Transfers and Licenses Granted Under 17 U.S.C. 203 - Which allows termination of a grant of copyright license after 30 years under set conditions regardless of a prior licensing agreement.

As soon as 10 years from now: There will be Reddit users who will have been posting to Reddit for 30 years, AND there will be some users who could issue Notices of Copyright License Termination for all rights from Reddit under the grants termination clause. As soon as 20 years ago there can be users asserting a revokation or that their license grant is invalid was not valid at the time content was submitted, because they lacked legal capacity - being a Minor, or being unaware of the attempted copyright agreement, at the time of writing that content.

This is not true. The legal term is declaratory judgement.. If you have a reasonable belief that you'll be sued

False. Subjective beliefs are irrelevent; however reasonable you think they may be. Declaratory actions are governed by US 28 U.S.C. 2201(a), and actual controversy is a requirement.

Meaning you have to bring proof to court that you are already in a dispute with another party. You cannot just reasonably be afraid of being sued or have a personal belief that they will grounded upon whatever reason. You have to have a tangible cause that can be put into evidence that indicates a dispute exists, and they are going to sue you; typically in the form of a written letter or Notice from the other party indicating the dispute and indicating that they will sue.

Disney reserving rights and declining to offer legal advise or a free pass does not amount to a threat to sue. It's quite possible that under various permutations they would consider it, and the exact details of what you are doing with your advertising are not born out yet - The civil and criminal cases against you as a trademark infringer are Not as of yet ripe before you post your product misusing a Trademark, because your details are not final, and the impact on the market is not known until after you begin to market your product. It would be dumb for Disney to try and ascertain the details of any lawsuit they would consider filing before a substantive infringement has been committed against their rights.

Non-disparagement should be unenforceable. Libel and slander are still laws, so if the person is damaging your reputation with lies there are existing ways to handle that.

The power imbalance between a corporation and an individual means that non-disparagement clause was signed under duress, and given the nature of the clause it should be one that isn't legally enforceable.

Well whatever they call it.. Theoretical disputes or rights another party might attempt to exercise are not properly actionable by a filing in court. You have no standing to sue a trademark holder based on your planned future projects and a personal theory that the company might regard your business as an infringement. Unless the whole thing is a USPTO action claiming the trademark is invalid and should not be granted.

The first time the case goes to court; I suspect they're quite liable to have the judge throw them to the wall with their case -- Disney may very well end up getting an order that this Injury firm pays their attorneys' fees on top of a hefty fine.

The odd question I have.. How is it that massive amount 1000lb explosives is planted with nobody noticing it for so long?

Seeing as it's enough to level everything within a 1 mile radius; that is rather extreme and scary if any of that has been sitting nearby for so long. We could be looking at a surprise disaster any month or day weeks or years from now then...

Surely there would have been an effort to survey the damage after a bombing, and an unexploded thing larger than a car shouldn't have been overlooked by an aerial examination and thorough search of the spaces surrounding populated areas.

everybody who ever spent their lives making weapons wasted their time.

An naive and arrogant point of view at best. We live in a world where a person merely crossing the street is subject to being ambushed by rapist gangs who are impossible to negotiate with, and the international relations between some countries are just as bad, way more complicated, And only well-informed officials and strategists can give an idea on how to keep us free country citizens safe, but one thing is clear: Good Weapons are always necessary. More efficient higher tech weapons allow for a better result most of the time, especially when destroying opposing military equipment with fewer human casualties on both sides. Weapons serve as both a means of destroying equipment, and weapons and weapons manufacturing facilities are also targets to be destroyed. And at least so long as facilities and not people are targeted - the toll of war involves fewer lives and more money being lost in that equation.

  As a person living in a free country and reaping the benefits of living in a free country: You also have a duty in the defense of that society by being a citizen that is an inherent part of the social contract which has allowed and continues to allow free countries to even exist in the first place and not be automatically conquered by whichever conquerer is strongest and most ruthless at the time. If the needs of the defense of our society requires going to war, then the duty of All citizens, even you is to contribute your part. Whether that ends up as by being pressed into military service through drafts, etc, building weapons, contributing special skills if you have any that are demanded by your country, Or by just by paying income taxes.. None of that is a wasted endeavor by those contributing, And you have your very life to thank for the efforts of people making weapons.

Considering many of the weapons people spent their time on making saved countless millions of innocent lives. It's a very real possibility many of us would not have been born if not for the effort in the development of certain weapons. Despite it is true that usage of weapons in war comes at a human cost, and we face a grave risk of demise at the hands of the ultimate weapons of mass destruction. Better tactical weapons in many areas that more accurately accomplish military objectives (Destruction of opposing military infrastructure, As-opposed to people) also reduce collateral loss of life.

However, as mere engineers or tech workers. We are not actually involved in making nor equipped to have a great understanding in the decisions about when and if war on our country's part is an obvious necessity; Nor are we sufficient experts in strategy to know the right path -- that is a matter for our generals, and commander, etc, to debate the complexities of our predicament at a given time.

World War II, and the US involvement in Europe was obviously necessary, and now we can recognize that retrospectively. But at the time that was not obvious whatsoever to the public. Indeed the US entry to WW II was very late and probably cost 40 million lives that could likely have been saved with much earlier preparation and entry to war.

The online stuff all comes from the same Chinese manufacturers. Order it direct instead of paying more to an American billionaire. You'll pay the tariffs either way, I assure the billionaires aren't covering them out of their markup.

enterprises will move out of the US and then these tariffs will not apply.
Then those enterprises will: (1) Be subject to tax consequences for expatriating.
And (2) Now all the enterprise's products sold to US consumers will be tariffed, so long as their operation is outside the US.
It's just trading a small set of tariffs on remote labor for a much larger tariff expense, and it won't be fiscally responsible for the enterprise to exit the US in that case.

Those 100k$ may become "H1-B loans, to be reimbursed by the employee

How would that work? These are employees, and the application fee is the employer's liability to the government. An Employer generally cannot make an employee assume expenses that are for the employer's benefit. Even those expenses an employer can make the employee pay cannot exceed their wages such that an employee is paid below minimum wage. Any kind of attempt to extract the costs of the fee out of the employee would be fraud.

fill a 100k job with an h1-b worker and only pay them 50k, it's still back to profit after 2 years

That one is actually illegal. The minimum on a H-1B salary is $60,000. But there is an additional requirement that the
salary has to be at or higher than the prevailing wage for the job in question.

But even if they manage to illegally pay only 60k a year... The 100k fee divided by the 3 year term still amounts
to 33k a year. And 33k plus 60k is $93,000.

And that's before thinking of all the other extra compliance costs involved in hiring H-1B.

I'm definitely not gonna be sad if the Steam client itself switches to 64-bit, but old game support in general is already a bit spotty, and I'm worried about unplanned regressions in support for some titles...
