I understand that non-competes can be used to impose undue hardship on certain categories of workers but have you considered how banning all of them undermines parties' freedom of contract?
Whenever I have to create a new agreement for a client that doesn't have an existing template I usually combine several similar agreements and smoosh them all together until I'm satisfied with the result. :blobcatcoffee:
Two bits of VERY EXCITING news! First, Nancy Kim is back to posting on the blog (see her below)!! Second, SCOTUS holds in Bissonnette that transportation workers do not have to work for the transportation industry to be exempt under FAA § 1.

Having been a FreeBSD (and BSD in general) user since the 2.x days and managed a small fleet of servers since the heady 4.x days (including a few Sun UltraSPARC II and IIi servers and dealing with the ATA problems), I've been rooting for FreeNAS and TrueNAS CORE for a long time.
It's kind of disheartening to have seen support for FreeBSD from hardware, software and cloud vendors fade away. I knew that when TrueNAS SCALE was going to be based on Linux that it'll eventually lead to CORE getting sunsetted.
I do have to say that I am a bit of a hypocrit in that I migrated from CORE to SCALE on my TrueNAS Mini X+ and only have one server running FreeBSD (even though the cloud provider no longer provides support).

Justice Sotomayor's alleged use of Court staff to promote her book tours raises additional concerns regarding the need for an ethics code for SCOTUS. Don't publishers have staff that can arrange readings for high-profile authors? #law#contracts#SCOTUS#ethics
