I find it slightly amazing he posted this. Did he not bother to ask someone with a probabilistic background before posting?

I can't speak for Massachussetts, but in Washington state non-competes have to be narrowly tailored resulting in them being relatively hard to enforce.

The one take away I have from this situation is that we have an honesty problem. People criticize Reddit as a platform of hate and vitrol, but as in reality this only partially describes the entirety. They complain that people on the internet are too free to speak their minds, but perhaps this is a reflection on our society a place where honesty and the free exchange of ideas is discouraged.

Disappointing that you view all criticisms against Ellen Pao as inherently sexist. I think if anything people would be just as critical of her if she was a guy. Who appoints a lawyer to run Reddit?

Why is this thread not showing up in the feed?

I wouldn't have agreed with you until today.

Reddit also has an astroturfing problem

This is spot on and holds for all scientific research.

Peer review is less effective then you imagine and a highly political process. These experts usually have a vested interest in a certain viewpoint or line of research. I agree extra scrutiny always helps, but scientific consensus does not guarantee truth.

I don't think it is fair to write-off research based on the journal it was published in.

I love the attitude some of speakers in the video show towards people with technical understanding. I guess when you are incompetent you always need to test people to see if they are lying.

I can't wait for any future "terrorist" attacks to be immediately blamed on the minimal roll backs.

I think we agree, I replied to the wrong comment

I would agree with you if there were a history of difficulties prosecuting white collar crime.

I agree the entire argument is a farce. Only antibiotics should be regulated.

No it does not. Lobsters do not die from the effects of ageing. They die due to a lack of energy to keep moulting. Straight from the text.

I agree Ballmer was not "one of the worst CEOs in history", but Bush will quite certainly rank among the worst presidents in history. Bush's two war mistakes were gargantuan, scholars estimate over one million war dead in Iraq, in addition he accelerated the decline of the American state in numerous other aspects.

Privacy is not just a moral good but necessary to for society to survive and thrive in the long-run. Countries and governments frequently do not act in their own best interest and I view mass surveillance as one of these instances.
