> Given the "interstate" nature of online commerce, I would think that this law is not enforceable

What legal distinction do you draw to separate enforceability of this law from any other law regarding a business providing a service in a different jurisdiction than headquartered?

>I'm more concerned with the precedent that this sets.

International Shoe was decided decades before the internet was invented. I don't really see the novelty of this scenario when the website in question offers a paid subscription service to customers in Louisiana.
This is a key question. What Adobe's doing is incredibly anti-creator but arguably better because you can at least opt out. There's a lot of cognitive dissonance and hypocrisy about this right now even in communities that should know better.
I suspect it's because podcasting historically originated from radio, esp free public and internet radio communities, whereas the film ones originated from major corporations and not like public access TV. The closer thing to that is probably YouTube in it's earlier days

I've said in other places: if people want to actually build out a libertarian world where the state leaves me alone then good.

The frustration I have is that people seem upset at the idea of the the state working to make it harder for people to abuse kids online, and but happy about the idea of the state making it harder for me to protect my family from violent people in real life.
I can speak directly to onsemi as I’m a former employee. While ONN is a US company, they manufacture a significant number of parts in Malaysia. ONN does have onshore fabs, but they’re expensive and are only used for their specialized, high cost components.

When I was there, the US fabs were selling parts used in iPhones, Zunes, and XBoxen.
Law is not for codifying morality. It's a compromise to operate as a society. Prohibition doesn't work and causes more harm than good, even if people think the thing that's prohibited is "immoral"
FTC Proposes Ban on Worker Non-Compete Clauses
> They can even do that in cooperation with other states

This is actually super interesting in that Article 1. Section 10 suggests this requires Congressional approval.

I'd also that the US is a de jure federation of independently sovereign states, whereas we are a de facto central government with weak provincial governments. States cannot act independently or as a peer to the federal government or with each other, and state sovereignty has been eroded since the ratification of the Constitution.

Debating whether or not Congress or the States should make these laws is purely academic. 250 years of history has shown that the only way for meaningful change to be enacted anywhere is for it to be done everywhere, by Congress, with the support of the Executive, and without a meddling Court to nullify it. If we lived in a country that you're hypothesizing about, we would still be segregated.

The FTC is specifically proposing a carve-out for selling a business. So it is mentioned. The parent made a blanket statement about non-compete legality.

Probably the strongest argument here. Yes, there are clip-on telephoto lenses for phones; but nothing beats a big piece of quality glass for speciality photography. Even in the low end (e.g. Canon RF 100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM) this will be much more versatile for specialty photography.

Unless you're a pro photog you probably don't care, so want to take photos of your dog? use your phone is also good advice.
It's common for them to not include more than original and/or English audio, but most competent groups will generally include all available subtitles at least.
So women don't watch porn and there are no men being exploited?

It's fine to hate porn but it is definitely abusive to all genders not just women and certainly not just straight women.

When you try to argue otherwise, you hurt your own cause. The reasoning is that now you are up against multiple differing opinions on multiple topics. Porn prohibition is incredibly unpopular and who knows what consequences it may incur. Perhaps porn is greatly limiting rape cases? A brief internet search provided plenty of evidence in favor of "who knows?"
In any event, Russia does send spies to do precisely what you insisted they don't.
Yes, it's overall good for privacy.

Similar to how VPN became popular due to geoblocking streaming content.

Ironically, GitHub wikis have a history of commits just like the main repository (not sure whether they actually use git for the wikis or just present them using the same interface) and nothing is lost: the diff can be seen at https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/wiki...
> Why is internet porn unique in this respect?

Because the cost of enforcement is abrogation of privacy and the creation of a new and incredibly powerful new tool for state control over technology and our communication on the internet.

It’s a very short hop from this facility, to requiring that — for example — the same cryptographic state ID be used to hold our encryption keys in escrow.
Answering to my own comment to answer the broader discussion.

- I’m not from the US and I’m not talking about the US market;

- I don’t believe “the market” provides some value judgement. Rather, it’s just the aggregate behavior of people under their existing realities. We can and should aim to change those realities, but ignoring them because “they’re wrong” will not yield workable solutions.
Cool story, so how many years have to go by before you'll admit to being wrong?

The only advantage Tesla has is their charging network. They were forced to build it out because they were the first car out there and they needed to provide a way for their customers to use their cars. However now it has become their strength. Without a fast charging network all the other cars are restricted to a narrow radius. The car itself should be commoditized any day now.
> they should be required to pay 100% salary for the non-compete period.

I'd argue that falls way short of being useful and still screws over employees.

People switch jobs because they get better offers, and being forced to not only forego better offers but also get stuck with the same income while your offers get taken away from you hardly seems something that's in the worker's interests. In fact, it looks an awful lot like plain old unemployment benefits.
So instead of being branded a heretic and chased out of town you just starve. The more things change the more they stay the same.
An average sedan from production to driving within its life time produces 38 metric tons of CO2 emissions compared to 16 metric tons as quoted by your article for the battery. I still fail to see how an EV is by any means dirtier than a gas car.

Right but proper reaction to that is sending a message of "hey this repo breaks TOS because X Y and Z". You get the author chance to explain (if it is genuine misunderstanding, which will happen just due to culture differences and some moderators being, well, utterly incompetent) or fix their attitude, or remove their stuff.

And in case of someone discussing it, like here, there is no need to guess and dig if the reason is given plainly by the moderator and points directly to the offense. Instead of speculation you get people look at it and just go "oh, yeah, that's fair" and move on.

Yeetus deletus of everything, including unrelated things, because you broke TOS point which we don't even tell you how did you break it (which is pretty fucking common with any big tech, regardless of the reason, even if reason is just "triggered some heuristics in our system") is not okay.
Matches my experience as well. I mean, if after scanning my eyes with all those shiny machines, you still need to ask me "Is this better? Is this worse?" like 20 times up until I just give up, well, that doesn't feel like a very scientific and foolproof method.
It's really a different approach that will yield different outcomes and experiences. Super Cruise works on "pre-mapped divided highways". That suggests it's more like hard coding most of the environment and working with HD-maps. While I don't know what Tesla Autopilot does, Tesla FSD is designed to drive with interpolation of the current input. It's a much harder problem for Tesla to solve but the results mean that it can deal with changes and unusual situations without something like massive case statements pre coding those exceptions.

Bullshit. No moral high ground?

The US is no nation governed by Angels, but orders of magnitudes "better" in most regards. Allies of the US fare much better than those of Iran or Russia. Its citizens have orders of magnitude more rights and access to self-fulfillment, among other things. The insistence on Israel not to get wiped out by an Iranian nuke is hardly a questionable goal.

Only the most black-and-white perspective can justify this false equivalency.
VW admitted it was a mistake and will go back to physical buttons with next gen of their models.
That does sound like the kind of story that someone would write, and that many people would read, and then comment on - without much evidence whatsoever.

> For longer posts it's hard to argue that any social media with a restricted number of characters per post is a good fit.

Welll...

> (all the arguments are other features that may be missing in blogs, not arguments against having a cohesive post that doesn't spread across multiple messages)

Ok that's a pretty big category of exclusions. I can maybe picture a blog which is actually a number of subresources with distinct urls in it, where as we go down the page the url keeps updating itself. I can maybe imagine commenting per section. I can maybe imagine ActivityPub readers that can show the top resource & let folks expand the remainder if interested. I can recreate a better more featureful more complex medium, if I drastically rebuild what a page is/how it works.

There's a dozen structural advantages to using the web like a hyper-medium, not just a long scroll of paper. Yes we can try to import those features onto the virtual long-scroll-of-paper. But why? Many people like this hyper-medium. Im sorry but I think the pro-blog people need to fix their own problems & build better clients. Assimilate yourself & stop being petulant, acknowledge the superior medium that is more capable, and for god sake, start building some clients that hide all the stuff that you find so so bothersome to yourselves so you can please be less miserable people.

As a FSD purchaser, I can tell you that watching videos do not give you the full experience of sitting in the driver's seat while FSD is on. The amount of times I need to regularly overtake control in both urban and rural environments on simple turns is enough to make me not recommend the FSD option to prospective Tesla buyers. At this point, the way it's marketed, I would lean more towards scam than even gimmick.
I'm in the same boat. Been working on www.bannerbox.io for 2 years, no customers, no revenue. Marketing is important to the success of any project. This year I plan on focusing at least 50% of my time creating content; mostly blog posts and sharing my journey so far. With persistence any idea should work out.

Is it harder to come up a new idea for a trading strategy or is it harder to actually implement the system to perform those trades?

Not being in that industry, to me it seems like the easiest part is coming up with a new trading idea. The hardest part would seem to be actually implementing it without bugs. Therefore, I'm not sure if noncompete clauses really provide a super-significant amount of value. Even if you left a firm with a super good trading strategy today and wanted to implement it elsewhere, you're still going to have to perfectly re-build it, which is probably not trivial.

Yet you provide no data to convince anyone otherwise. Outside of scrap, also electronics stores over here have signs now which denote the amount of electronics you can carry over the border into the Russia (not exceeding the value of 300€) which suggests there is a reason to do so.

Related to your article, if something sounds ridiculous it's the explanation given in your article of the unemployed man travelling from Russia to take drone pictures of a cottage for a friend. Very reminiscient of the two "tourists" "just visiting" Salisbury.
Every one of the things you’ve listed is a physical interaction. You’re entering a physical location, purchasing a physical good, etc.

Porn viewed online is information not a physical thing - can you think of a precedent for gating access to information behind an id-wall? I can’t.

But the more important thing is - ok, if we agree that kids viewing porn is bad: does this law actually improve that in an appreciable way? I suspect not - In fact as other commenters have pointed out this will probably drive younger viewers to sketchier places that operate outside of this law and others.
I wish these companies would stop trying to meet each segment of the market because it's really bad for people who need quality.

I used to be able to buy a Samsung LCD and it was good, no bleeding, good colors, good for work monitor.

Now that it's a race for price I don't know if the monitor I am looking at is complete garbage or not because they are all advertised the same with bullshit words. I have to go down into the detailed specs and watch countless reviews because many are just paid shils. I don't need a high speed gaming monitor, just something that doesn't bleed left/right and has a good viewing angle.

My hope with OLED and micro led that monitors will generally all look good even the bottom of the barrel and I won't be fisted with my purchase when I turn it on for the first time.
As batteries were even more expensive years ago, Elon put energy efficiency above everything else, like putting in lighter seats than ICE car manufacturers and optimizing the thermal system (octovalve).

The ,,false advertising'' that others say come from the fact that when you drive fast it doesn't matter how energy efficient you are, so it works out only with low speeds.
Why should employers have any control over your life whatsoever after they're not paying you?
I'm not a Tesla fan but to me the car seemed to handle it in a reasonable manner i.e. by disengaging whenever the FSD sensed slippery conditions (although the traction control system when on autopilot certainly seems to need some tweaking). I'm not sure what sort of tires were fitted but it seemed to struggle more when FSD was engaged vs. the human driver.
"Voluntarily" is doing a lot of work there. There is a huge power imbalance between employers and unemployed people looking for a job, especially as they may face bankruptcy and homelessness if they go too long without income.
I seriously doubt you can tell someone's genetics (their race) based on their voice. On the other hand, you can tell a huge amount about the culture in which they were raised.
"carbon credit" != "tax credit"

carbon credit: EU law fines ICE car makers for making cars. they inturn purchase carbon credits to have the right to keep polluting. further more tesla made 53 B$ in rev for 2021. 1.5B is not nothing but not > 5% of revenue for the year. ie bulk of it came from actually making and selling cars.

tax credit: the US federal govt had a tax credit program which was lobbied by GM in the 2010's that gave car buyers 7.5K as a tax write off . this was only eligible for less than 100k cars sold (tesla sold 405,300 in q4 2022) and was only useful if you made enough income where a tax writeoff made sense. 2023 new laws are in place with more rules which makes them almost useless (or only useful for those who lobbied for it).

I happen to agree, and think that prohibition of porn would lead to horrific outcomes.

Just consider the original prohibition, how it bolstered organized crime, and the kind of abuses likely to occur when the prohibited good is pornography instead of alcohol.

I find it interesting that everyone is arguing about AGI-hard or AI-complete or whatever and trying to find where those boundaries are. Those are interesting problems for sure.

But that's not what he's talking about, it's not the point. The scary thing and the important point in the article is that most of the press and non-technical people are being sold the idea that nothing is AGI-hard or requires Human Intelligence, whatever that is.

Large swaths of press & so called "tech" people in business think all these hard problems are already solved. And they use this to seek investment or pump up companies in weird ways, only to later be mystified when the AI success doesn't appear to work like they thought.

It's like arguing about whether something is NP-complete or not when a bunch of businesses are taking lots of money from investors with a pitch that makes it sound like they have figured out a way to efficiently solve all problems that were previously thought to be NP-complete. But they've shown no evidence they can do so.

Github's wiki being essentially a git repo with markdown is one of the killer features that I can't believe people don't rave about. It's so wonderfully useful and open. I can edit pages locally in vim and commit them, but my non-technical partner can edit them easily in the UI as well. If/when there are merge conflicts, it's just standard git to resolve them!
As one who has run for local office in a Seattle-area suburb, yeah, there's no oil industry money sloshing around. At best one might get a few local businesses (at best), and some individuals for small amounts. If you're the big swinging genitalia incumbent, you might even be able to afford yard signs without dipping into personal funds!

One would seem to win local elections by being the incumbent, and knocking on a lot of doors.
One of the most fun (?) parts of academia is the unique blend of frustration and satisfaction that results when a shoddy paper somehow clears peer review only to get eviscerated when it lands on the desk of an actual expert.

That seems crazy to me. Why should I have to move to start a business? If I can start a new bakery with no following and run the old out of business, then it seems like the industry was ripe for competition anyway.

I do think it is reasonable for the competes to include not stealing recipes or IP or other capital from the business. Contacts are harder to legislate but there is a difference between remembering your best contacts and contacting them via LinkedIn vs exporting a contact list from your company's Salesforce and using that.
