IMPORTANT: Moving to California no longer means your out of state non-compete is unenforceable!!!

"In the past, it was commonly believed that out of state non-compete agreements may be unenforceable if the employee is first to file an action in a California court asking that the court declare the non-compete agreement unenforceable."

"Thus the employees [...] argued that the enforcement of the [Washington non-compete agreement] would violate California’s policy of not enforcing non-compete clauses. The California court disagreed [and upheld the non-compete"

Yes. Washington Post has a database of police killings. Go to it and select by race, and lack of a weapon. You get 14 killings.

Now go to the Wikipedia article for "George Floyd protests", it has a section titled Deaths with list of killings related to the riots. It says:

"As of June 8, 2020, at least 22 people have died during the protests, with 19 due to gunshot wounds"
All three are used as a noun to me, FWIW. When you say "merge to master", master is a noun. My point above is that it's more uncommon in my experience to fully say "master branch".

"Masters degrees" as far as I linguistically understand means "mastery of subject", which is indeed the same language, though perhaps closer to feudal master/subject, which was more ethnic slavery in Europe than the specific iteration in the US. Maybe we do eventually change that one too. Higher education has the same problematic founding as everything else. Let's not forget that Harvard and many other top schools were literally constructed by slaves. As said elsewhere, this is very much about engrained subconscious defaults and norms and you've just highlighted another.

I think generally these are indeed small effects and you have to pick your battles, but I am always saddened when people spend so much effort fighting and arguing against these really costless changes. No one is saying to change overnight and break everything, but it costs nothing to slowly transition away. Those who argue it "changes history" I also find curious as those people seem to be doing a great job ignoring or denying the histories of the words in those same arguments.

The Vietnam War was started by a Democratic administration and continued by a Republican one, through several Congressional midterm elections. It was a bipartisan effort, so I don't see how having an opinion on it, for or against, can count as partisan in the sense of advocating for one political party over the other.

While ridesharing is killing the traditional rental car and taxi industry, it remains to be seen whether or not that's sustainable. All the big players are deeply unprofitable. Right now all this "disruption" we're seeing comes from companies burning vast amounts of money with no feasible path to profitability.

Whether or not ridesharing can survive without being subsidized by losing its investors billions of dollars remains to be seen.

That Safari doesn't ship with an ad blocker, indeed, that was the point, and it never will.

And its content blocking, speaking both as a user and as somebody that worked on anti-ad-blocking technology, is really easy to circumvent and only useful on websites that haven't adapted yet.

As an iPhone user for me it's bad enough to make me want to switch to Android. What works consistently well has been DNS-level blocking (Pi-hole, NextDNS).

For you it might be OK, but I can tell you Safari is a favorite among the big players in this space [1].

Yeah, managing dependencies is tricky. I've been super excited about Nix and Guix lately for that reason; if you have a single Nix/Guix revision and a list of packages, you have all the information you need to build exactly the same package tree. (With bit-for-bit reproducibility where possible, no less!)

Some language-specific package managers can do similar things, but you really only get reproducibility for the whole system with a general-purpose package manager. Poetry gets you pretty far within the Python ecosystem, but if you need a specific version of Python/specific native libraries/etc... it doesn't get you all the way there.
you still have to get approval. But the approval is pretty rubber-stampy - my buddy applied for "tasking rtos in rust", which was accepted, despite that being incredibly general.

I'm sorry, but what? Rent or Rent equivalent is absolutely a part of US regional inflation measures.

edit: The BLS publishes a Consumer Price Index published by for Seattle metro area^1. The breakdown^2 quite literally includes housing as part of the basket of goods, listing about a 3 percent increase for that section yoy, and I believe the weighting is typically 1/3 of the total index. Seems like it's capturing it just fine?

We may be talking about different things. Executives often negotiate a contract that contains a noncompete. That noncompete has clear consideration as it was negotiated as part of a total deal of employment, theoretically the employee is more highly compensated for this term of the contract. However rank and file employees are often not presented with the noncompete contract until their first day of work after salary negotiations have already taken place and the position accepted. Such an agreement probably isn't enforceable[0] as far as I can read[1] as it's hard to argue its part of the employment contract as the contract is signed after you are already employed and have reported for your first day of work[2]. If it was a employment contract it would've came attached to the offer letter.

[0]"Performance of existing duties is not good consideration" - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consideration

[1]"The very basic requirements are that the non-compete must (1) be in writing; (2) be part of an employment contract; (3) be based on valuable consideration; (4) be reasonable in scope of time and of territory; (5) not be against public policy." - https://lincolnderr.com/is-my-non-compete-enforceable/

[2]”One of the most common reasons that courts refuse to enforce Non-Competes is that employers make the mistake of obtaining the agreement from an already-hired employee without providing the employee with anything of value in return. Generally, such agreements are unenforceable because the employee did not receive any additional “consideration.”" - https://macelree.com/the-top-10-mistakes-with-non-competitio...

Constitutional Court re: Bulk Interception by Germany's BND
> Am I correct that out of the box it's implementing a full integrity around "commit" -- ie. The data has to fully hit the disk before the call returns?

Yes, as is the default of any ACID-compliant RDBMS. This is what the "D" in ACID stands for (durability):

> Durability guarantees that once a transaction has been committed, it will remain committed even in the case of a system failure (e.g., power outage or crash).

There is no way to guarantee durability without fsync, as without fsync there is no guarantee that the data has been written to disk and is not simply cached by the OS. Any database that guarantees durability performs an fsync after every transaction.

> Possibly we may just have a case of a bad default here. Particularly in the context of other posts eg. "SQLite as a file format"

I would argue it is a very sane default. The database system does not know how you value the data that you ask it to store. By default it takes the position that your data is very valuable, and that you would not want to lose it even in the case of a crash.

In some cases that is overkill, but in some cases it is not. The safer default is to be cautious. You can always disable fsync if you find that you need the performance boost. Valuable data that is lost is lost forever.

I do agree that a mode that you describe ("I don't care if I lose the latest writes - just don't corrupt my database") would be very useful in many situations, and should perhaps be added/promoted in a more clear fashion.
When I look at the California high speed bullet train project, that has been over a decade in progress and has cost over $75 billion and still nowhere near completion... I see the real problem with just throwing money blindly at every problem.
> You HAVE to commit the journal to disk in a stable fashion - that requires fsync() because without there no guarantee that the data is actually on disk.

But does this indicate the issue; that userland only has fsync() API -- it's a case of full synchronous write, or not. Whereas the SQLite file could contain its own journal and data, and maintain the integrity using a write barrier.

I still have no need for my browser history to be fully synchronous to disk. Yet that's what we're doing, and then...

> Get a better storage solution for your home directories, ZFS with high lifespan Optane drives as a SLOG would dramatically increase the write endurance of standard NAND flash by batching writes while maintaining acceptable fsync performance

... spending on high grade tech in an attempt to solve the problem we just created.

Fundamentally, we're asking these systems to do synchronous writes, when it's not what we actually want. When everything's a priority, nothing's a priority.
>A company's "main players" are its board and senior management

Ah I see that we have different definitions of main players. I'm thinking of developers who are able to mess with the code. But the Wikipedia does support what my definition of main players means.

Just because the board doesn't report to CCP doesn't mean that someone significant in the 700 isn't an assent of the CCP and able to do significant damage.

This is incorrect.

A "Proprietary Information and Assignment Agreement" is about protecting proprietary information. It is illegal in all 50 states to use trade-secret information at a new employer. See Anthony Levandowski.

A Non-compete is about labor market, wage, and competition suppression.
Im regards to webRTC: vp8 supports temporal layers, h264 does not. Meaning you can encode and upload 1 stream while participants with different network conditions can be served the best possible framerate. Vp9 and av1 also support spatial layers, which is the same for the resolution. For this you currently need simulcast in vp8 or h264.
It's also a chilling effect on many potential employers, especially small ones. When I was with a very small consulting firm, if someone interested in employment had a non-compete that was remotely relevant--or even an NC that wasn't very clearly not relevant--it was a very short discussion. Management just wasn't prepared to take even a small risk.

Ha, I've experienced the same thing. I'm a healthy weight and don't have any obvious health issues, but people keep telling me how bad it is that I don't eat breakfast. I've even had people tell me "yeah, you might look fine on the outside, but you're unhealthy on the inside", or imply that I'll run into health complications further down the track if I don't change my habits now.

I think food to most people is a little bit like religion: everyone wants to believe that their knowledge of nutrition is correct, and that anyone doing anything differently must be wrong.

Seems like there are 2 problems with this.

First is that the federal government doesn't have the legal standing to take over the education system. I believe it would require a constitutional amendment to allow it and I don't think they'd get that passed.

Secondly, I'm not sure it is such a great idea. Currently federal level education direction comes from the teachers union and you can see the fruits of its labors in our current schools. Also I think this will make the current broken system harder to fix as it will institutionalize many of the current practices and make local experimentation much harder.

IMO what we need to do is move away from the industrial revolution era school system. We aren't training a bunch of factory workers anymore and that needs to be reflected in how we teach. We really need to do a lot more trials with alternative educational styles in public school. My understanding is that one of the biggest hurdles to this is the teachers union and their adherence to the current model.

I do think funding is an issue, but even if you could magically fix that you'd still have bad schools. There would just be less disparity between them.

"Present me and future me..."

"why should..."

all these... also thoughts...

questions like these... undecidable...

* thoughts are the words of your language in your mind.

* The ego is thought.

* The ego is the I-thought.

* "I am happy", "I am sad", "I did this", "I did that". There are so many sentences that are thought of with the word I in them. That thought "I" in each of those sentences is the ego.

* The root of thought is the I thought.

* Disconnected the I-thought from the external sense objects to which it attaches, and all other thoughts will fall away.

* Follow the I-thought to its source.

* To turn the attention that normally goes out to the world around 180 degrees and to look inward, towards awareness watching awareness.

* Disconnected from external sense objects, the I-thought becomes unstable and retreats to the source and disappears.

* What remains is the Self!
Making the argument is the wrong phasing. Instead, what he should have said is "I can almost certainly get away with breaking the non-compete, and it is unlikely that anyone will notice".

Tech companies are not sending private detectives to follow every engineer that left the company.

This fantasy world, where major tech companies are preventing random engineers from leaving to work for other big tech companies, is just not true. It happens all of the time, and almost nobody gets sued.

Like, I don't know what to tell you. Like half of the engineers that I know, have job hopped, sometimes multiple times, between these top tech companies. They aren't being sued.

They go work at microsoft, and then leave for Facebook, or uber, or "insert rando prestigious tech company here", and I don't know of a single one, of all of my friend that I know, who has ever been sued for job hopping between top tech companies as an engineer.

It just does not happen, for the average tech employee, outside of weird, extreme, egregious cases.
Slightly related. Auroville [1] in South India has tried its own monetary system (Aurocard). But over time that didn’t catch up much. There are some businesses that will accept only the Aurocard and not any other form of payment (like government issued currency notes or bank issued cards).
