Your quote makes my point:
That's exactly what I said in my comment. They're thrown out for regular joes because it's too aggressive, we don't take money from multiple companies while not working there. Execs take garden leave that can keep going for years, they tend to want to keep them locked in during that time.
You still don't have the right to work or unions, but we're going to extend executive's ability to make money from multiple companies at the same time? This is only passing because it affects mostly the wealthy. It never held power for the average employee.
You didn't even read, he wasn't an executive when it happened.
And this story wasn't written when it happened, if it actually happened the way he describes it (there's no source).
I know the issues in the industry, I'm in it, and this is why the article has plenty of:
The story he describes as a kid is more akin to a slap suit. The IPs we build and the techs we make are still not protected by this, and the same cease and desist could be sent to a company where they think.you are using their tech.
"Your story proves my point"
"No it doesn't"
"In that case I question its authenticity!'
So because slap suits for ridiculous reasons exists we can use them as examples for any other case?
It's funny you disregard that each argument I made is also made in the argument, and his little story is not part of the actual case, so its authenticity is irrelevant and doesn't make your point.
You've been familiar with the story for an hour, give yourself a chance.
I was simply pointing out that you were fine with the story being used in an argument when you thought it supported you, and now that it's been pointed out that it doesn't you suddenly don't think it's valid to use at all.
Really calls into question the authenticity of your arguments.
I'm still fine with the story and the arguments it had. I didnt change anything, his story of when he was a kid isn't part of the case, it's anecdotal.
Youre still the one who has made no arguments
