Cool, I’ll continue to get my life-saving medications shipped overnight and eat primarily a vegetarian-based diet and not feel bad about it.

I’m hoping that as the platform matures and we start seeing various apps and even more web-based interfaces like _wefwef Voyager, the signup process will be handled by those apps themselves. Like, a bunch of instances agree to be listed or something, and the app randomly selects one to present the new user on signup as a default, which both distributes the “load” across instances, but also provides a simple default.

I know the above proposal has problems; it’s a 30-second spitball idea, not anything I’m spending more time thinking about seriously.

I don’t either. But I tend to use (La)TeX to typeset documents.

By most accounts, he makes his “shitty” movies because he’s bored or one of his friends needs a job. Any major actor in Hollywood is, barring insane lifestyle stuff, rich enough to never work again.

I would legitimately like to work on one of his films. I feel like it’d be a blast.

NCAs are already largely unenforceable anyway. Federal and state laws prohibit them except in cases of direct competition and the employee having specialized knowledge or skills. And even then, they can’t be for long periods of time, and if they would prevent the employee from a livelihood they can’t be enforced.

Usually what happens is someone who has a NCA will be hired by a new employer. That employer will see how long the NCA is in force and just have the employee on the payroll but not working until it expires. That, or they will pay the penalty in the NCA, whichever is cheaper.

Even then, your rights are limited. You can’t show it publicly, or make a copy except for personal backup, for instance.

But Senator Imhofe took a snowball into the Senate chambers, thus disproving global WARMING forever!! /s

Oh shit.
