You are speaking to emotions, which means I have no way of addressing your concerns, but I will try to highlight why I do not share your conclusions:

>"makes me not want"

I do not want to agree to many terms, so I do not agree to them; this does not make me want to ban those terms.

>"It is like a reverse market regulation"

Non-competes are 'like' any other business agreement to me. In any case, I am not sure what a 'reverse market regulation' is.

>"seems like a fatal attraction or overly obsessed/attached owner/girlfriend"

If you were analogizing an employer/employee relationship to a sexual one, they would seem most similar to a pimp or john; I do not think this is a useful analogy.

>"are a kick in the nuts... You'll know the feeling"

Many agreements feel unpleasant; I dislike any deal which obligates me to pay a large sum of money. This is interesting, but not very important to anyone else.

I understand the negative utility of proof-of-work. It takes useful resources and turns them into nothing.

I didn't claim it would be straightforward to make a cryptosystem whose mining process causes a benefit instead of a harm. I didn't claim I had such an idea. But let's rank some options in order of goodness:

1. Figure out a cryptocurrency with a real-world benefit

2. Don't use cryptocurrencies

3. Use cryptocurrencies

You may have chosen the worst option. I'm content with option #2.
I never push SQL Server to hard, but it have always been stable and extremely well documented. It's certainly better than MySQL in many respects.

Federal laws frequently explicitly preempt state laws. When CAN-SPAM was passed, it invalidated California's stricter spam law.

California has stricter auto emissions because Federal law allows it. Other states are allowed to follow the California standard, because Federal law allows that.
TLDR; The article is not only void of any new information but also falsly claims that Google has given up on manufacturing its own self-driving car without citing any sources[1]. Then it goes on to get quotes from "experts" asserting that building cars is too hard outside Detroit. That's basically about it.

Its all bull crap, if you ask me, and potentially paid article by some lobby. If a tiny company called Tesla can build a car out of nowhere, so can others. Although, the risk taking appetite of big tech companies has certainly went down recently and it does remains questionable if they can actually pull off putting car on market.

[1] There has not been any news (like Apple) on Google giving up on car project. In fact as per recent interview, the project is alive and well: http://www.theverge.com/2016/10/25/13307364/google-self-driv...

Ideally, you could get something like the motor vehicle emissions model - the federal government passed restrictions only after California, and they were less strict, so the California Air Resources Board got dispensation to set stricter standards. Individual states could then decide to follow the EPA restrictions or the stricter CARB ones; this has led to a gradual convergence of EPA regulations to the stricter CARB standards.
I would expect the default to be unchanged from normal function keys, unless an app declares its custom context.

Your comments about NDA's are not quite right. NDA's do not capture a lot of the essential issue.

Pragmatically speaking, it's nary impossible to work in some fields, and then move to a competing firm without passing on know how or trade secrets.

Even the 'manner of approach' to a problem, while it may not be a trade secret, is basically a core part of the 'true IP' that is developed by a company.

Using DWAVE as an example - there are thousands of 'little things' that they will have had to figure out along the way - from which parts to use, which vendors work well, material types, tooling, physical test units, support gear (like cooling etc.) - all of this is IP.

Any number of small issues can be the 'key ingredients' that make or break a project. When DWAVE spends a year trying to figure out how to keep some material at a steady temperature in order to bind it to another ... then that's IP.

It's a paradox when nearly one's entire skill set is tantamount to 'trade secrets' but it's feasible.

An NDA - in the broadest sense - in this case would be a de-facto 'non compete' - because there's hardly a thing this Eng could do for Google that wouldn't involve giving away important information.

In case you guys are not aware: hiring people to steal away trade secrets and know-how is very common in the Valley, often by major players and firms.

If you haven't noticed - the biggest and most successful tech companies all have either natural monopolies (i.e. Facebook/Twitter with network externalities), or insurmountable massive barriers to entry keeping others out (i.e. Apple having MacOS/iOS, a retail distribution chain, massive leverage over supply chain, and market share).

In business scenarios it happens as well, in less 'protectable' scenarios. Apple snared away tons of BlackBerry sales/BD execs - not because they were necessarily skilled or talented - but because of their established relationships within carrier channels. Apple was buying access to Verizon and AT&T - not random sales guys abilities.
Well, you are working with Magento, so pretty much any technology would be better. Magento is seen as the "safe" choice for many, when picking an ecommerce solution. I assume the reason is "everyone else is using it", and while that true, I don't believe that many on the technical side is actually enjoying it.

Magento is non-boring in the same way a plane crash is.

> Back in the day, we had corruption, but that didn't stop us from getting things done. If you look at New York or Chicago during the early 20th of the century, they were dominated by machine politics like Tammany Hall that openly traded votes for party jobs. But they also built most of the modern infrastructure that we take for granted today.

There is a more recent example: the reconstruction of major Japanese cities after WWII. They currently have excellent infrastructure, the best public transit in the world, and surprisingly affordable housing prices whether you rent or buy.

There was quite a lot of bribery, kickbacks, and illegal campaign financing going on the whole time between construction companies and politicians, but that may have actually helped. Local officials are a lot more motivated to push a project through the bureaucracy quickly when they are going to get a kickback.

Wow, nice graphs. They reminded me of Asimov's essay on The Relativity of Wrong [1]:

The young specialist in English Lit, having quoted me, went on to lecture me severely on the fact that in every century people have thought they understood the universe at last, and in every century they were proved to be wrong. It follows that the one thing we can say about our modern "knowledge" is that it is wrong. [...]

My answer to him was, "John, when people thought the earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the earth was spherical, they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together." [...]

> You can sue people for not working at their job? There are many people who simply stop accomplishing tasks when they want to be laid off or fired.

Then let them quit and go somewhere else. NDA cover corporate secrets, non-compete are anti freedom, anti competition and should be illegal. If your employee stops working then perhaps you should question the way you do business and how you manage your work environment. Usually it's a clear sign you treat your employees like shit. They should have all the rights to go work in a better environment whether it is at a competitor or not doesn't matter.

I agree that when it hits the news it's generally a lawsuit against a VP, but you have no idea how many times lawyers send nasty letters, which are pretty effective.
Presumably they don't want to put themselves in the business of determining if a primary source is legitimate or if some random pseudonymous writer's original research is accurate. Not an unreasonable desire! Except instead they've put themselves in the business of determining if a secondary source is legitimate, which isn't fundamentally better.

Wikipedia has to come to terms with the fact that if you claim you're making an encyclopedia that comes with certain expectations, namely, that you've verified the facts you are printing. They try to obfuscate this with endless layers of rules and procedure, but that no more eliminates the need to check facts than credit default swaps eliminated the need to pay back debt.

My comment from a child:

<<"NDAs are nice, but there is no way to know whether a trade secret has been transferred to a competitor (if the competitor keeps their secrets secret)."

<<"The other problem with allowing NDAs but disallowing non-competes is that it provides a huge loophole, where businesses can classify all non-public information as trade secrets, thereby preventing the former employee from implementing any competing system (which will inevitably contain some non-public process from the previous employer)."

I am unsure what you mean by the following quote:

Unless you have a noncompete clause. That's exactly why they're a problem. You can't develop your professional skills. When you leave, you have to start from scratch in a different industry.
Not being used to C syntax, I took this as a typo at first:

indirect = &(*indirect)->next;

The position of the parentheses make it look like you're dereferencing only (* indirect). But on second look, you need the parens there so that it's (* indirect)->next as opposed to indirect->next. Then the & operates on the whole thing. I'd be tempted to wrap it in a second set of parens for clarity, but perhaps it's entirely obvious to a programmer who's actually used to using pointers. IE:

indirect = &((*indirect)->next);

> The Obama administration on Tuesday also urged states to ban non-compete agreements that are not proposed before a job offer or promotion is accepted and said employers should not be able to enforce the agreements when workers are laid off.

Won't this just move the non-compete to be included in the job offer instead of the formal employment contract? That's a slight improvement at best.

> It'd be cool if you knew what you were talking about.

It'd be cool if people stop using bullshit buzzword in order to promote a project. There is a server period. It doesn't matter if "it does only a small thing". that bullshit needs to stop and I will call anybody engaged into bullshiting others out as long as they keep doing that.

The client talks directly to the other client but in order to connect 2 clients at first place you need a server to connect peers.

That's what you call serverless ? then that's a lie, period.

It's obviously you who don't have a clue what you are talking about.

"serverless" needs to die, no application that relies on the web is serverless, there is always a server.
The post you were replying to was sarcastic. The point is that if non-competes really were essential to companies, you would expect to see that reflected in CA. Instead the most notable thing is CA has higher salaries.

You buy a DSLR because it has a large sensor that can capture lots of light and detail.

So I fail to see how this camera what outperform a DSLR.
Yes, that's a literal textbook example of regulatory capture.

There are many other examples of rent-seeking. One of the most common ways of using government to eliminate competition is what is referred to as "regulatory capture." This is the case where regulators end up acting in ways that benefit the industries that they regulate. Many government agencies are generally created with the high-minded notion of protecting the public from rapacious behavior of corporations. However, these corporations can use the government agencies to protect themselves from competition, most frequently by encouraging a set of regulations that makes it very difficult for newcomers to enter an industry. They use the creation of regulations as a barrier to entry.

I'd be really curious to hear what specific buggy hardware or annoying features of OS X are an issue for you.

I'll be the first to admit, the innovation in terms of using the latest and greatest hardware and software technologies has not been there for Apple. However, this has been the case for a long time since Apple does something genius. They let other companies test new markets, built first to market products, watch them struggle, refine, and evaluate the market. Then, when the timing is just perfect, and a frenzy has been created they release a new product. Their products are like the Mercedes-Benz of cars. Sure, they aren't as fast and high performance as Ferrari or Lamborghini, but they are quality built, reliable, familiar to owners, and pleasant to drive.
