This is true. I was a congressional staffer long ago, and before that I was an intern at the Legislative Digest, an official publication that summarizes legislation for the members of Congress. These summaries were often the only thing that

This is exceptionally poor legal advice. Non-competes are legit if they are narrowly limited in time and scope. It's perfectly fine for a company to demand that if they hand over their proprietary know-how to you, know-how that has cos

Precisely. Nothing happens until the individuals responsible pay a penalty. If an exec knowingly, or through negligence, causes a person to be arrested, that person needs to pay up personally . If they did it to protect their own position,

Plain markdown files is definitely the way to go. It's easy to create a basic table of contents and arrange them in a tree-like manner. You can view them rendered in a GitHub project. If you want search and some other features, conside

Wrong. The money gets distributed from two sources: the state, and the county via property taxes. The size of the district has no impact on the money-distribution formula for either. If a county, or a state, wants to send money to poorer ar

Chicago Public Schools, one of the biggest districts in the nation, has an enormous department for special ed (Office of Diverse Learner Supports and Services). They are utterly incompetent. They have been sued again and again. They are sta

I don't say nice things about Oracle very often, but they deserve some praise here. Graal is a very, very ambitious project, and Oracle has been funding it for years. It's still rough around the edges, but it promises to enable ne

Database versioning. Why can't I have version control on a database record just like we do for documents? Why do we have to implement audit trails over and over again?

How is it that the S3 API is remotely fast enough to make this work? As search engine that operates at any kind of scale needs to skip through very large files to evaluate a query. You need very low-latency, high-bandwidth access to disk. A

I did not see the part about the minimum spend. You're right; they'll probably run into significant resistance on that from the smaller customers.

To everyone who thinks that $2k/vCPU is a lot of money, it's not. First, if you're running it on an 8-core server, that's $16k per year, which is about what many companies are paying for an enterprise support contract. I

It sounds like your problem isn't having a kid, it's not having a separate, quiet space to work. You can't do work that requires concentration with a small child in the house, you just can't. If you have a spouse or a re

Thank you for the link. I just watched it in entirety. It's slow moving but well worth it. It's about a world I did not know existed.

Someday we'll have a database that handles this for us. We'll specify whether a particular table should have an audit trail. The system will know about foreign keys and related tables, and save them as well. Everything will be con

Paradoxically, this law could lead to more filming, because it codifies the fact that filming beyond eight feet is perfectly okay. That may have been legally true before, but now the police have a clear, bright rule. This might be good for

Yup, I just got my letter. Brex is obviously not interested in serving startups. If there's one thing that a startup needs in a bank or cash management account, it's stability. Only a month ago Brex sent a letter saying that they

I've long had an idea for solving the civil asset forfeiture problem. It's simply this: any asset seized must go to the general fund, not into a law enforcement fund. If a local police department seizes cash or a car, that asset g
