it is ok, he signed paperwork when they hired him.. its a conflict of intrest.

They knew about it when hiring him, then they decided to build a competing product, so they fired him, as if his side project really risks them in any means... sounds fair... the big guys just want things so they take it and we should say thank you, right?

Doesn't matter, a contract was signed. Want that to change, get the laws changed such that these non-compete cannot be in the contract. Even so, it won't matter because the US is mostly "at will" employment and they can fire you for no reason.

Why didn't your friend work on the new product? There is more to this story than you are sharing.

Getting a viral post on HN has a higher power (and likelihood) than changing the laws ;) (we've seen this before...)

But yes, you are technically right.

For your last question, I don't know, I didn't ask, but he's responsive on social media / LinkedIn, feel free to ask. I'm just posting it because it seems when he posted it it got flagged as spam... don't kill the messenger :)

Crypto related stories have not been "viral" on HN for a long time. There is strong sentiment against such posts.

way to much dead space, if i have more horizontal space available in the window don't force it to wrap text. boxes aren't really needed, kind of distracting. Pick a link size (your source and your comment /boxes links should be the same size.

forced padding could go away if you removed the border as well.

and not a fan of the font, is it ALL bold?

font is Courier New!

its super handy for lots of little usecases as well. look at the bottom of most of your bills.

we (lockbox departments in banks) use that to help assign your payment correctly

i have an x1c sitting next to an elegoo centauri carbon. i rarely use the AMS on the bambu.

potential print size is basically the same print quality is the same as far as i can tell..

i use the elegoo more often.

not anymore, converted over to logseq a while back and once i got used to the tagging its just quicker.

nice daily journal too. We use onenote for work stuff - shared stuff anyway

How would save a code snippet there? Daily note or snippets page?

Uh nice, I never heard of logseq, it look really nice!

How do you use OneNote for work though, isn't it slow? (not a user, but I assumed it'll be something similar to Google Keep)

instapaper

google keep or onenote works too

* studied more * explored tradeschool * saved more * told my parents i loved them more often * sped less (i had a heavy foot as a young adult) * drank less if at all * took a few more chances, especially in the dating realm.

I could co-sign all of these, especially the last one. There's a line from one of Tom Selleck's Jesse Stone movies that I wish someone had told me at 18: "I'd rather regret the things I've done than the things I haven't done." The "what if I'd taken the chance" regrets are the worst by far.

> told my parents i loved them more often

This hit me hard. Appreciate you sharing.

but there's something to be said about doing something with your hands and going to bed physically tired...

your other option is mentally drained, potentially depressed, probably anxious - especially if/when something breaks on you

i went with the desk job, yearn for something else.. would rather have become a machinist or welder looking back. do both as hobbies now to clear the head from the desk job

That’s the thing though… a desk job often affords you the time and income to pursue those other things as hobbies. The reverse is less often true.

No wonder they are now your Ex...
