History in the Making: Conservatives Work Quickly to Challenge FTC’s Final Rule Banning Noncompete Agreements | JD Supra
At least two federal lawsuits are challenging the FTC’s final rule that would ban nearly all noncompete agreements, with more complaints expected. There is no immediate need for businesses to change course, but employers should begin planning for new methods of protecting confidential information and trade secrets if the final rule goes into effect.
The Department of Justice Antitrust Division (DOJ) recently suffered significant losses in two criminal trials involving alleged criminal wage-fixing and related “no-poach” agreements by and between competitors. These were the first cases ever where the parties have proceeded to trial after the DOJ pursued criminal charges under Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act predicated on such conduct.
DOJ Urges State Court to Use Antitrust Principles to Invalidate Noncompetes
Noncompete agreements between employers and their employees traditionally are governed by state law. But that didn’t stop the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) from recently filing a statement of interest encouraging a Nevada state court to consider federal antitrust principles to invalidate noncompete agreements between a large medical group and its physician-employees.

DOJ Encourages State Court to Consider Antitrust Principles to Invalidate Non-Compete Agreements | JD Supra
Non-compete agreements between employers and their employees traditionally are governed by state law.

10th Circuit Ruling Shows LGBTQ Case’s Ripple Effect
In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia, which extended federal statutory protections to the LGBTQ community, many have wondered how the decision might affect other employment litigation under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Tenth Circuit Ruling Shows Bostock’s Impact on Title VII Employment Litigation | JD Supra
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia, which extended federal statutory protections to the LGBT community, many have wondered how that decision might impact other employment litigation under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Tenth Circuit’s recent decision in Frappied v. Affinity Gaming Black Hawk, LLC, No. 19-1063 (10th Cir.
US copyright termination: re-monetization’s final frontier
During its most recent overhaul of copyright law over 40 years ago, US Congress identified the need to protect authors and their heirs from ‘the unequal bargaining position of authors’ in dealing in their insipient (read: unpublished) works.1 This need arose primarily from ‘the impossibility of [an author] determining [his] work’s prior value until it has been exploited’, a proposition appearing on its face to be unassailable.2 Until an author ‘monetizes’ his or her creative work via...
nanddump vs fastboot

I have fastboot, root (on the one that boots), but I don't have ClockworkMod --- my phone isn't supported. Instead I have the world's most unhelpful vendor recovery, which supports update.zip and nothing else. I'm trying to copy the system partition from the working phone to the non-working one via fastboot. But I cannot successfully reflash the partition.
Do I still omit the closing quotation mark before a paragraph break in speech?
Traditionally, paragraphs in speech are rendered like this: That is, only having a closing quotation mark at the end of the block and omitting the ones in paragraphs inside the spoken text. Is this still a thing these days? Text rendering does change over time --- why, I remember the days when you pluralised numbers with apostrophes ('Personally, I quite like 4's and 5's.') and was quite glad when that went away.
Enter recovery mode from command line
Does anyone know if there's a way to get an Android phone to reboot into recovery mode, from the Android command line? Note: I do NOT have adb access. I do NOT know the magic power-on sequence to do it from the boot loader. I've tried the common things and nothing works. I DO have root. (And can enter commands directly on the device using a terminal emulator.) I know it's possible, somehow, because applications like ROM Manager do it. But how?
