> "About one in five American workers—approximately 30 million people—are bound by a non-compete clause and are thus restricted from pursuing better employment opportunities. A non-compete clause is a contractual term between an employer and a worker that blocks the worker from working for a competing employer, or starting a competing business, typically within a certain geographic area and period of time after the worker’s employment ends. Because non-compete clauses prevent workers from leaving jobs and decrease competition for workers, they lower wages for both workers who are subject to them as well as workers who are not. Non-compete clauses also prevent new businesses from forming, stifling entrepreneurship, and prevent novel innovation which would otherwise occur when workers are able to broadly share their ideas. The Federal Trade Commission proposes preventing employers from entering into non-compete clauses with workers and requiring employers to rescind existing non-compete clauses. The Commission estimates that the proposed rule would increase American workers’ earnings between $250 billion and $296 billion per year. The Commission is asking for the public’s opinion on its proposal to declare that non-compete clauses are an unfair method of competition, and on the possible alternatives to this rule that the Commission has proposed.

> I mean, that's pretty much the entire point of Montessori school and various "lifestyle of learning" types of educational programs
> Kids are a lot more resilient than people give them credit for, and the most sure-fire way to make kids hate learning is to force them to do it.
We dropped Montessori precisely because they don't force kids to learn.
My mom is a teacher.
We visited over christmas when our eldest was in 2nd year in Montessori. Mom evaluated our child and told use that she was 1+ behind in development. Our child was uninterested in learning and the teachers were not "forcing" her to learn.
> They should have learned that by age 4, which is why kids start pre-k/k at the 4/5 age range.
Lol. Because you think they should? Love the one-size fits all statement - not.
As soon as someone has 2+ kids, they realize how ludicrous that statement is. Better yet go talk to a kindergarten teacher - I don't know how they handle kids that age that are not even theirs
Yet more worshipping on the fear of change. Simply speaking. If the code is suspicious, it should be treated as such.
I am not tied to some definition of perfection but rather the practical. Developer tools help write safer code. If that code is running dangerous equipment this is even more important.
The expectations and quality needs to be raised. ESPECIALLY in operating systems, device drivers and yes code that has been running "just fine" for years.
