Per the article, from a previous challenge:

to challenge the noncompete agreements ban, arguing that it would make it difficult for companies to retain talent.

Sounds like a admission that the opposition to the ban is to promote corporate servitude, discourage lateral movement in a chosen field, and protect companies from having to consider employee satisfaction in order to keep them. Somehow Trump appointed US District Judge Ada Brown of Texas thinks allowing people to have control over their own career would “cause irreparable harm.”

I wonder who Trump appointed US District Judge Ada Brown of Texas thinks would be harmed by this.

Trump appointed US District Judge Ada Brown of Texas and member of such conservative historical organizations like the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Mayflower Society, and the Federalist Society, is also credited with

saying the noncompete agreements ban is “unreasonably overbroad without a reasonable explanation,”

Did she read the 570 pages of the final rule which starts explaining the reason for the rule on page 5 including studies, public commentary, detrimental impact on innovation, conflicts with antitrust laws, concerns of the US courts going back to 1711. Sounds like a lot of readable explanations to me.

Have you tried taking it anywhere that requires a transfer? Last time I saw, all transfers required going to Union Station. Doesn't matter if that is the opposite direction of where you want to go. Union Station is (or was) the only option if you were not traveling in a straight line.

All of my knowledge on Los Angeles public transit is about 15 years old. I really do hope that they have improved since then.

I am also just talking about just the Metro rail system. I never attempted any other public transit options in LA.

Los Angeles. No car. 😂😂🤣🤣🤣

That city has one of the most dysfunctional and impractical public transit systems I have ever known. Admittedly, I have not experienced many, but it is bad enough for me to believe the conspiracy theory that car manufacturers have influenced city leaders to ensure that cars are mandatory.

That Trump campaign sounds like a well oiled machine.

The ban also forbids marketers from exaggerating their own influence by, for example, paying for bots to inflate their follower count.

I wonder if "followers" includes users and how that will impact Twitter, Reddit, Facebooky, Instagram, TikTok, etc who use stats like active users to drive ad sales.

As individuals will each have multiple records associated with them, one for each of their previous home addresses, the breach does not expose information about 2.7 billion different people. Furthermore, according to BleepingComputer, some impacted individuals have confirmed that the SSN associated with their info in the data dump is not correct.

Remember when Trump said that the noise from wind turbines caused cancer? The internet remembers.

National Public Data scrapes the personally identifying information of billions of individuals from non-public sources

Honest question: If these sources are non-public, how did National Public Data get access?

Facetious questions: If they are using private or restricted sources of data accumulation on an international scale, should they be calling themselves National Public Data? Seems like Global Private Data would be more fitting.

What is Flipboard?

Seriously, 4 to 6 words is all it would take.

Flipboard, a social media aggregate app, is making good on a major fediverse promise.

Is that what it is? Did I guess right?

My favorite thing about the internet is hearing questions that I would never think to ask and seeing answers like this.

Thank you for helping to make the internet a bit more interesting.
