OK, I can try and steel man it for you. Warning, long. California hasn't had noncompetes for a long time (B&P 16600). But if you look in the code right around there, there are a few carveouts that cover most of the situations that

Here in California we have several levels. There are different classes of small claims, there are limited civil claims and then unlimited civil for over $25,000 though some counties have special programs for unlimited claims under $50,000.

There are. It turns out some of these people know fancy stats vocabulary too and have thought about it a bit. https://jonathanhaidt.substack.com/p/social-media-mental-ill...

In California at least, a small claim is pretty efficient as long as the claim is more than the modest filing fee. They can't hire an outside lawyer to handle it, either. If they have an inside one they can use that, but anyway. I&#x27

He’s probably right?? but brittle’s inevitable with something like that. If his plan is to just min FTEs, I bet it does need a rewrite. But it will still be brittle. If this brings value to shareholders, somehow, then don’t hate the player

What's ironic is that the IPv6 people will tell you you can do all of that with IPv6. Which is true, but if we NEED TO CHANGE because we're out of addresses then why go to something that doesn't use the address space? The pro

Not saying it does, but we can't afford to do everything. The OECD has said the roads are a huge drag on our growth. The biggest problem was a massive corruption scandal surrounding the improvement of the main highway for the whole cou

I'd rather have roads fixed than labeled. CR has the worst roads in the OECD but the roads in the GAM are much much better than where I live. Last time I was in Atenas, I noticed they have street signs. Gee, I wonder why. For the Ameri

There are lots of plausible explanations for why some of our observations don't match GR predictions. It's been a long time since I studied this stuff so I'm pretty sure I'm way out of date, but dark energy still seems l

Arguably being the key word, then yes. But the voters rejected it. Arguably or not, we weren't talking about affirmative action, we were talking about what people call the civil rights law, which is the FEHA, which is the state analog

Look up your state's legislature and see how many people are employed as staff and analysts and then look at how many bills are proposed every session. Most bills are not written by the legislators or even their staffs, whether or not

Nope, that's a repeal of our affirmative action ban WHICH FAILED in 2020, during the alleged peak of the woke mob. I bet Fox doesn't mention that affirmative action is illegal in California. That is not repealing our civil rights

Any article about the Federal Reserve that isn't talking about their discount rate is more or less presumptively quackery until proven otherwise. As other commenters have pointed out, this criticism here has nothing to do with what the

Real lawyers don't necessarily know every case citation. Real law students and googlers might. You get a general sense of how things work.
