Banning non-competes is a great idea.
However, everyone here should be aware that lots of startups are now including "power of attorney" clauses in their employment contracts that grant to the employer power of attorney to assign inventions to themselves. Feels like there's a lot of room for abuse, which could discourage moves to competitors.
