> "Serious students are largely only found in degree programs that have weeder courses".
I am unconvinced by that logic. Serious students are there to learn from competent teachers- i.e. someone that is proficient in the art of conveying knowledge, not merely possessing knowledge or having successfully brought grant monies to their university. Weed out courses are not for serious students, but are a rite of passage that many times are themselves gamed.
Actually, thank you for posting this question. Before having to step down, the former Attorney General for New York began publicly to take a serious look at provisions like these which he felt were contrary to public policy.
Despite what anyone else will tell you, big companies do seek to enforce these contracts in court from media companies to MLB. So, while this is what the lawyers drafted for them, do you want to be bound to that possibility?
It depends (yes, I really hate that phrase too). A front-end developer working on a geospatial mobile app may not mind at all if his next job is working for an e-commerce site. But for someone who is pursuing a more specialized path, these terms can stifle career goals.
Is this in Cali? Pretty sure non-competes are unenforceable there regardless.
Good for you that you actually read the contract.
What is the time frame for these provisions- 1 year, 5 years?
The link you posted, and swatting in general, involves a whole lot more than merely an anonymous tip to establish probable cause. Two totally different things.
An anonymous tip alone is very likely insufficient probable cause for any judge to sign off on a warrant to execute a guns blazing search inside a home.
Sure. Just like blockchain- or any other decentralized ledger- may be a tremendously disruptive technology for property recording, sale/transfer, and financing in the future (compared to the current archaic system of deeds/titles for real property or UCC financing recording for secured transactions); so to, a graph database may clearly illustrate the point of bookkeeping along with the share of assets creditors and investors are entitled to realtime.
Your comments throughout the thread are insightful & actionable. Yet, I will say that accountingcoach.com is the online resource that provides reliable and clear definitions & explanations for accounting terms. At least in the US when trying to figure out what is required of US GAAP, for example, accountingcoach.com provides clear definitions to differentiate between direct costs, manufacturing overhead, operating expenses, and inventoriable costs in general. This is in contrast to a lot of other online sources- including articles written by CPAs or accountancy websites!- where the writing is either too tortured to learn from or outright wrong!
But “a ledger” is not a directed graph of accounts, is it? There is no ‘from - to’ in a ledger. A ledger simply reorganizes the transactions from chronological order (aka journal entries) into subject/account headings. Not the same, but similar to clicking ‘subject’ column tab on your email client to reorganize your emails from descending date to subject attribute.
not actually contra. Those extra cents selling at retail prices need a lot of volume to break even given employees, property taxes, maintenance.
That's why there is always something on the property to sell- convenience store, car mechanic garage, car wash, even whole restaurants sometimes.
This makes a lot of sense. The wiki article begs the question, why not the same etymological analysis for the prefix 'epi' for the Epiphany/Επιφανεια? Επι+φανεια = epi + appear. Of course, adding prefixes to established word changes each words meaning, but if epi were to mean super/supra, it would mean that for each word -and, it clearly does not of Epiphany.
In fact, I was in your core Ops Management course, but I dropped it & completed the requirement with another instructor.
I hope you’re enjoying Phillie; I’m still in Chicago.
BTW, I really enjoy your blog posts!
Gad is one of the professors at Kellogg that is a little full of himself- perhaps, most all of the Ops Management profs are. I anticipated some application of Little's Law or other Ops formula, instead of merely begging the question.
While the pandemic has made us more aware of the possibility of better/safer retail models, self-checkout is definitely a step in the better/safer direction.
It's really hard to follow your logic, especially your version of the 'facts'.
The Myceneans are proven to be Greek beyond doubt, and their writing system Linear B is Greek- is a settled among scholars.
The Minoans, outside of their homeland of Crete, had colonies in mainland Greece, other Aegean islands (Santorini), Sicily, and as far as Spain.
Using the indo-european language is a tortured logic thread
Well, that English chap Ventris proved that the Myceneans were in fact Greek, as per his “Greek nightmare”, but was killed before he could prove that Linear A & hence the Minoans were Greek. But the majority of scholars contend that King Minos etc were Greek
So, if fine from waste/recycled vegetable oil, the idea is not per de dumb.
The industrial part could be tweaked sure.
Corn & soybeans are global commodities, so to suggest it competes with food is not an accurate reflection of how food is priced.
Also, I have yet to smell french fry exhaust from fatty acid methyl esters.
This is very well articulated, but very disappointing to see so-called expert in their field orthopedic doctors advise their patients with the exact opposite.
Not necessarily. Sure, the 'fake reviews' may not fit neatly into a malpractice claim- a negligence tort- win for the plaintiff.
But, if the plaintiff- Ms. Wolfe- can prove that the fake reviews were intentionally orchestrated by the law firm, then then that state bar's ethics committee may indeed have something to say; and, a regular person will prevail against a law firm which will suffer consequences.
Thank you. I suppose for me the 'cognitive load' of parsing whole parenthetical phrases and double negatives is more taxing than shifting from 2nd gear back into neutral.
