In California you can - non-competes are basically unenforceable, and what you have in your head you can basically use. So you fire them by getting another job.

The press goes from calling out Facebook and zuckerberg as idiots for wildly overpaying for instragram to now saying that it was unfair they bought instagram. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012&#x2

Lost in the comments a bit is that Apple actually offered Hooked 4.5 MILLION to hire these folks in the acqui-hire, and the companied DECLINED saying they had other prospects (which turned out to be false - they were running out of money).

Actually, FANG job stability is surprisingly high - the big corps have gobs of money and are big - so it takes a lot to actually push you fully out the door sometimes. Entry level wages are perhaps $190K (right out of college / entry l

In the netherlands you can have them sign a non-compete clause, generally for 1 to 2 years. "This clause prevents them from working for your competitor or from starting a similar enterprise after resigning. A non-solicitation clause fo

But it is part of the reason these countries don't have startup cultures. In the US you can just try stuff out including hiring someone who may not be a perfect fit. In the US you can pivot your startup if something isn't working,

Labor mobility is really low in Europe. In france you can be tied up in litigation (tribunel through appeals) for 10 years easily on an employment termination (my info is from 2016 time frame so may be dated). There is no such thing as at-w

Don't these guys just do deals with the wifi hotspots from comcast for backhaul? My understanding is the move for hotspots is to have a "guest" spot show up automatically that other comcast users and third parties comcast sel

I thought they were saying microsoft needs to document this third party software behavior. Definitely the VPN folks should document this.

Huh - you want linux distributions to have to play with the windows firewall rules? You want windows firewall getting messed up by linux containers? These VPN authors are just idiots - let's stop over complicating things. Half the time

The idea of the a linux distribution is going to be using the WINDOWS firewall?? seems a bit crazy to me. I expect the distributions on WSL to use their own firewall - that's half of the fun of using WSL. PLEASE don't push fake ne

Is Windows firewall supposed to apply to WSL? I never expected that! I'm serious - I run a different firewall on my onlinux. Can you confirm that WSL is supposed to be dealing with (the nightmare) of the windows firewall for internet a

Wow - Don't mess with the high frequency traders! There must be some big money behind these types of enforcement actions! What's crazy is the algos try to push around the price themselves but I suppose it is legal because it is a

I know folks will totally TRASH apple if they did a walled garden TV - but for some of us we'd probably pay the extra just not to have to deal with / worry about the random scammers doing things like this. And I call this a scam w

We keep on hearing that having the antibodies = no resistance to subsequent infection and then articles like this. I also don't buy it fully. Antibodies are tied into what helped you get over your initial infection, if they don't

The push now for UWP is so misguided. I have no clue why they've decided to spend decades making apps jankier and weirder.

Correct, and if a US political party outsources their IT management to white folks overseas in eastern Europe (outside of EU) / Russia or former Russian states where US law does not apply they'd be equally idiotic.

This is a bit of an interesting and somewhat unusual situation. In most cases, your finance team (internally) will be the one to pick up on the fact that stuff doesn't make sense. They won't be able to tie the invoices to subseque

This actually happened in Korea - the KF94 masks have great surface area, seal, comfort etc. Good surface area = good airflow as well.

Agreed - I will note however how badly Microsoft has bungled this same story on Windows itself. They went from a very high productive and unified development story in mfc/winforms to a super fragmented space. I am getting going with WP
