Non-competes are an asymmetric, negative externality imposed by employers on to employees.

Employers like it because it decreases employee job liquidity and thus brings down the price of hiring for almost nothing.

It's like not charging factories for the polluting smog they create as it floats over your house, but in this case, it's the general economy.
If you can produce a single executable, I will be quite amazed :D considering there is both a lisp core and platform port which are separate programs, however, you are free to try :D

on a more serious note, it is still alpha, so sorry about any issues you are having, we're working on making things easier for users to install and more robust!
Re-read the updated Hangouts article. It sounds like it isn't going away, just being moved to a new platform. I would guess most consumers won't notice the "change".
No, it kills off creatures who burn relatively little hydrocarbons per capita because they lack the resources to adapt, while the largest consumers of hydrocarbons survive because they can afford to adapt.
Nothing new here! She appears to have violated the US sanctions. Many people have ended up in prison for lesser offenses, some of whom were not even aware of their crime. The story of John Roth is really informative. He was indicted and jailed simply because of hiring two Iranian and Chinese students.

I would think that is still either 1) or 2). It all comes down to the ego with accountability.
You're ignoring facts. Again. Building and maintaining roads and utilities into urban sprawl is very expensive. Public transport is less effective there. The bigger the area you need to protect against floods, the harder it becomes. Cities hardly ever move, they grow.

And the horror scenarios? Please, people in the country will be hit just the same when they can't get gas anymore. Or when the food supply stops.

What you're saying is: "Wouldn't it be nice if we all lived in the countryside?" That idea has crashed decades ago. It's unrealistic. Please stop.

I encountered the same issue with Twitter auto-inserting unwanted hyperlinks to domains like .app:

Workaround was to use zero-width space:

> If you had an object with negative inertial mass, then pushing on that object would cause it to accelerate into your hand. This is a positive feedback loop that immediately results in the object and your hand exerting infinite amounts of force on each other

No, it doesn't; since this turns the repulsion of normal objects (which is what makes them resist interpenetration) into attraction by switching the orientation of the resulting acceleration, what it results in isn't more force at the boundary (the boundary is a repulsive effect), but interpenetration, which results in force declining to zero as the masses centers are at the same place. (And then switching directions as they cross.)
Most of the services organizations that exist within enterprise tech companies scales very poorly and is supported by a high-margin software product or two. But the usually cited companies are Infosys, Capgemini, Wipro, Accenture. To make their businesses more sustainable / profitable they overwhelmingly favor labor cost arbitration and oftentimes aim at non-tech companies that still don't consider IT or software strategic to their business.

Then there's the "unintentional" body farms that organize due to structural reasons of massive funding combined with labor structure dictated to support a massive enterprise. Within defense, almost all the major defense contractors like Northrop, Lockheed, General Dynamics, and maybe Palantir these days (the bar for hiring is higher overall there, but not quite the full story) fight for huge, bloated Pentagon budgets that resembles VC funding except with military officers as partners and minimum headcounts are usually specified in contract vehicles. You'll oftentimes see at least n PhDs on staff, m veterans, p program managers, etc. as competitive factors for getting a contract ahead of other companies because with too small of a company it's deemed a risk to the government (people do take vacation, get into accidents, etc.). While there's been some efforts to make the RFP process better aligned towards outcomes, everything I've heard since I left the community has not been encouraging.
Real question: if the company one has an NCA with goes insolvent, does the NCA matter? Who would enforce it? Presumably, if somebody picks up the employees in a buyout, those would now be said company's employees and the company would be on the hook for the "Pay for the length of the non-compete" bit.
Seriously. It's this fiction that makes me believe that, despite it's flaws, America (along with other democratic countries) is a beacon compared to the rest of the world. A country locking up a foreigner for breaking their laws is so different than a country locking up said foreigner out of retaliation, which is what I imagine China will end up doing.
Same experience with pipenv. One problem is that it creates the virtualenv even if you are in sub dir. It's easy to make a mistake.
But on general grounds, why a Chinese company should comply with sanctions between US and Iran? And why a fourth country is arresting Chinese citizens violating US rules?

I am sure most of us break UAE laws on being with members of opposite gender without a chaperone and even post pictures of class reunions, etc. But I'm not expecting to be arrested for this while visiting, say, Sweden.

Hi, thank you for your interest!

I've never used VIMB, but I guess it is subject to the webkit port, since on Linux you more or less only have Webkit2gtk+ your experience should be roughly the same.

There seems to be a lot of demand for a blink/chromium port, and while I am personally strongly against blink/chromium, we may produce a port, or perhaps a quantum port if that is at all possible.
XML per se is great for storing tree like structures. However, it's not actually XML that's bad, but content editable, which is what most editors were using until recently.

In content editable, the visual information is not one to one transferable to a single html document, which, in turn, means not transferable to a single XML representation (and in all likelihood, the html is what is used as the representation, not a transformed XML document).

With Json representation , the content editable method is no longer the path of least resistance. Building out a proper renderer (whether in canvas or dom) means you end up removing most of the content editable issues.
But it was always like that for HDDs. You always had to assume no change in seek time with more capacity. And it was always wrong to treat HDDs as random IO devices with all the random writes and b-trees. At least now there is a pressure on everyone involved to do it right.
Before trying to convince them... how far have you delved into the reasons for choosing a custom build in the first place? Do you think they haven’t considered the trade-offs yet?
California startup lawyer here, but not your lawyer. This is not legal advice. There's some misinformation here, so I'll clarify:

- California won't enforce noncompetes, except for a very limited set of circumstances (i.e. selling your business and then starting a competing business).[1]

- If you live and work in California, then you get the benefits of California law (including the noncompete law above), no matter what your employment agreement says. UNLESS you were represented by a lawyer during negotiations and you agreed to a different state's laws. NOTE: This section only applies to employment agreements entered into AFTER Jan 1, 2017.[2]

If your employer tries to pull a fast one and says you are subject to another state's laws, then you can invalidate that clause, and you can get your attorney's fees paid by the employer if you have to litigate it. [2]

I read that, but I don’t have much faith. And I would hardly recommend something to the average person in my family when I expect major changes that require them to relearn how to do things. There’s a reason I just recommend FaceTime or Skype to family members, it’s consistency.
I don't buy your analogy at all. I think a sex obsessed culture is a result of an overly sexualized media. And it's not like I'm saying ban sex. I'm saying ban pornography and prostitution, which are abuses of sex.
Somehow they got the US technology in order to sell it to Iran. I'm no legal expert, but there was probably an assumption during that transaction that they wouldn't be selling it to Iran, which they violated.

(which is exactly why this is different than them simply doing business with Iran in the first place)
Personally, I will miss Hangouts more than Allo, and RCS is not an direct replacement for Hangouts either. One thing I hate about Allo is its use of phone number as user ID, so the same goes for RCS.

Just because I'm willing to chat with someone really doesn't mean I am willing to provide phone numbers to them.

Edit: Repeated Allo, where I meant RCS.

Sure, if a car theft for one car spread the cost to _all_ insurance companies, but it doesn't. So to stay competitive, companies have to 1) insure good drivers so the rates stay low and 2) invest in customers who have good car security (note the discount one gets for having their car garaged).
Completely in agreement. Hire a bad leader when the company is growing and you risk one year later to have the whole company infested by all sort of people that you would not like to have around (managers included).

Some companies completely screw up themselves because of this. Startups usually do not think about this early enough and when the founders realize what is going on is too late and the company culture is screwed.

That's interesting. I've never done drugs, but I'm very interested in consciousness and neuroscience. Both modern philosophy and neuroscience appear to be converging towards the idea that the "I or the self" is an illusion and that consciousness is a predicting machine. So the drug caused your consciousness or brain to create multiples illusions ( or multiple "I's" ).
> Real question: if the company one has an NCA with goes insolvent, does the NCA matter?

Yes, an insolvent company still exists.

If it is dissolved and it's interest in the NCA wasn't transferred (either because noone wanted it or it wasn't legally transferrable), then it doesn't matter, but mere insolvency isn't the same (in fact, if it can collect money for violations, insolvency may lead it to be more aggressive.)

> Who would enforce it?

The insolvent firm itself, which may be effectively run by (or for the benefit of) its creditors.

It's sad how this has become a fact because it's insinuated enough times in the press by the same few reporters. First it was Chinese foreigners buying up all the real estate, but that was proven false. Now, it's all these foreigners are laundering their money. Yes, a few (although the RCMP is having trouble with their money laundering case) but not all. The press simplifies and that becomes the reality that everyone believes. I had a coworker mention this "fact" after hearing it on the radio. Ugh. Reminds me of the weapons of mass destruction debacle.

Miles driven is a less valuable number if the miles are largely along "easy" paths. What interests me is challenging events, perhaps what you call "interesting miles" because the more of those that cars successfully navigate, the more real-world ready the autonomous vehicles will be. There are hundreds of different types of these situations that are common enough that these vehicles will have to react appropriately (construction, detours, officer using hand signals, missing or misleading road paint, inaccurate maps, etc.) I don't know where Google's cars have driven, so they may have encountered these things, but I don't know.
Hey, I've read this article while doing my course exercises. Coming from Metropolis-Hastings, HMC seemed a bit like magic. Here's some notes that I wrote about it, could somebody tell was I even remotely close:

>In other words explained by my TA: when you have a really complex multi-dimensional distribution normal MCMC will take forever to explore it. HMC on the other hand adds momentum that will help the MC to explore areas where the probability is high. Imagine the probability is being translated into 3d landscape where high probability corresponds to deep areas and low high. Any ball with gravity will follow those curvatures and not jump over the walls needlessly where the probability is low.

>Also HMC is the current state-of-the-art MCMC algorithm if you have very high-dimensional data. Regular MCMC too can be applied if the distribution is much simpler. However instead of MCMC, VI is commonly used since it can give really good results with little amount of work. I mean sure you have to choose your approximation distribution but after that it's dead simple. Only maybe if you need really high accuracy you might choose something like HMC.
Full pay would be your tax return saying what the full amount of compensation you got from the employer. Stock rewards, bonuses, etc are all reported from specific employers. Your highest year in your previous years of employment with the employer is the year I would chose. And add other benefits like health insurance and such. Basically your still 'employed' on garden leave with the company until the non-compete period runs out.

By making table stakes very expensive, the likelihood of companies even putting them into contracts will reduce to a small minority. The problem with non-competes right now is they are free and easy to put into contracts, and in practice the vast majority of employees do not refuse employment over it due to power asymmetry. They further more create chilling effects for employees to switch companies and thus make employees cheaper to hire due to the liquidity reduction.

The other objections you bring up you can negotiate for yourself :) . If they were willing to put up the table stakes, you're probably an important hire to put that in for and thus probably have negotiation power.
some would say that depends on the cost of borrowing. i know high net wealths that borrow any time they can if the rates are low enough.

You could put that too, the non-compete goes away if the firm goes insolvent / can't pay in liu of insurance.
This is mind-blowing and appalling. A 30-year prison sentence for posting on Facebook?
> FYI, there was an update to that article that stated (from the lead for Hangouts) that Hangouts has no set shutdown yet, and they plan on transitioning everyone to Hangouts Chat/Meet before Hangouts Classic goes down.

What does that even mean?

As far as I can tell, the whole difference between "Hangouts [Classic]" and "Hangouts Chat/Meet" is that the former was for consumers and the latter was for businesses/enterprises.

So they're shutting down the consumer version and moving all consumers to the business/enterprise version of the same product? That would just turn it back into what Hangouts was before they introduced Chat/Meet in the first place!
I have no idea about details of Huawei situation, but if your product ends up in given country do you do business there? How about providing a website and not filtering users by country?

In most countries laws are created faster than citizens can learn them even if they would put a lot of effort into that. In many cases those who vote them haven't even read them in detail. There is no single person on the planet who knows all laws in all countries. Should we abandon the idea of the Internet?

It would be purely hypothetical pondering if not for GDPR which bring a lot of mess to countries outside EU and cut off some EU users from the content which they could otherwise consume.

Unless regulators get their stuff together reasonably quick, we may likely end up in some more encrypted and decentralized version of the Internet which makes governments less relevant. I don't mind.

That's a completely different issue. Yes, it's important to do disk accesses right. That was even more true when I started doing this stuff in 1990 than it is now, because disks back then didn't have big caches or fancy controllers, and RAID wasn't a thing. My point is that even if you do everything right it's getting harder and harder for a disk-based system to keep up with I/O demand. That means more and more gyrations to keep the demand away from those disk-based systems, which means more overall system complexity. In particular, more places for inconsistency to creep in. As though we didn't have enough to deal with making these things distributed.
> But on general grounds, why a Chinese company should comply with sanctions between US and Iran?

In general, they don't have to. Only to the extent they want to continue doing business with the US do they have to comply.
If its not justiciable you can just ignore them
> No, buses are safer, period, even without seatbelts. Occupants of bigger vehicles have much better outcomes in auto collisions, and buses are some of the biggest vehicles on the road.

By causing much worse outcomes for occupants of the other vehicle or pedestrians in the same collision. Not really something you want to have around your schools and homes where your kids may be the pedestrians or occupants of the other vehicles.

It's also no help for single-vehicle collisions, which are nearly two thirds of auto collisions. 12 ton bus vs. 2000 ton overpass, overpass wins.

In addition to the unfortunate high center of gravity that increases the probability of rollovers (which are especially likely to cause injury without seatbelts).

> Also, most school buses don't do much freeway driving... Not having a seatbelt in 25 mph collision is one thing. Not having a seatbelt in a 70 mph collision is lethal.

Which is a reason why statistics make school buses appear safer than they actually are -- a minivan picking up the same kids would be on the same roads with the same traffic speeds, even if the "average" minivan would be on different roads traveling at higher speeds.

That may even be a good basis for the rule -- car seat required if traveling more than 35MPH.
Which to me doesn't sound that different from the above comment talking about Thailand wanting to extradite westerns for offending their king, breaking their law. The something doesn't matter, it's not why she is in trouble.
It's not like the specific job is the only thing you can do - there are other jobs that don't break the NC. 100% is too high, and 50% is too low. But the amount should be negotiable for each person.
> Personally I think that simple recounting of the facts of history is entertaining enough. Why are people trying to embellish it?

People make up history for a few reasons:

- Money.

- Self-aggrandizement.

- So that they can cite it as precedent in an argument.

All three are incredibly common. This looks like #1; Rome is not particularly prestigious in China.
