New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: Should I pass on a new job because they want me to sign a non-compete?
Ask HN: Should I pass on a new job because they want me to sign a non-compete?

I took a few months off after the birth of my third child and am looking for a new job. I found an opportunity with a great team at an interesting company but there was a catch. After receiving an offer, I inquired if they required a non-compete and sure enough, there is a 1-year non-compete with the following conditions: following the termination of my relationship with the Company for any reason, whether with cause or without cause, at the option either of the Company or myself, with or without notice ... any business in competition with the Company's business as conducted by the Company during the course of my employment with the Company I'm not a fan of non-competes generally but considering this was written to include any business that the Company believes is a competitor (no idea what kind of scope that entails) and asserts enforcement irrespective of who terminated the employment relationship, I told them I wasn't willing to sign it. I have a friend who was pursued by a previous employer for violating a non-compete and even though he eventually won, it cost an immense amount of money, time (18 months!), and pain to fight. I've also heard horror stories of being presented with a non-compete to sign after starting the new job and leaving previous employment. That kind of behavior seems especially devious, but it seems pretty common as well. Am I making a mountain out of a molehill or should I stand my ground? Anyone else found themselves in a similar situation? Anyone been pursued by a previous employer due to a non-compete? Edit: This job is in TX.

New top story on Hacker News: Shopify employees accessed customer databases without authorization
Shopify employees accessed customer databases without authorization

Got this email from Fangamer about Shopify earlier today. ---- Dear Fangamer customer, Shopify, the company whose software runs the Fangamer store (and more than a million others online), has informed us that an internal security event it has been investigating since late last year included Fangamer customer data. Information regarding customer financial accounts and payment cards was not affected, but we are writing to make you aware of the situation. According to Shopify, certain members of its support team used their Shopify credentials to obtain archived customer data from several hundred stores without authorization. The team members accessed data associated with order fulfillment — names, addresses, email addresses, cart contents, and phone numbers — but did not access or acquire any financial-account or payment-card information. We are extremely frustrated and sorry to be sending you this email; Fangamer's internal development team takes data security extremely seriously. Data not in Fangamer's Shopify store — including Kickstarter backer information, account information and passwords, and email addresses used to sign up for our newsletter — was not accessed, and the store continues to operate as normal. Fangamer Japan, which operates as a separate store, was also not affected. Shopify has terminated the employees who did this and eliminated the vulnerabilities that made it possible. Shopify has also reported that it will be providing any other relevant information to us as its investigation continues, and we'll pass along any new material details. If you have any questions, though, please contact us at orders@fangamer.com. Thank you, Fangamer

New top story on Hacker News: Logging into Gmail on Chrome links my Google Account to the browser
Logging into Gmail on Chrome links my Google Account to the browser

This annoying UX issue has been existing for a few years now; why does Google do nothing about it? I know they're mining data from Google Accounts and get more value if I am logged in. However the UX aspect of it seems to be horrendous. Two scenarios that bother me: - I link my account to Chrome. If I unlink my account, and simply login to Gmail in the future, it automatically links the account back to Chrome - I link my account X to Chrome. Later, I sign into another account Y. When I am done with Y, I logout from my Gmail which has "Y", this automatically signs me out of X, and instantly unlinks X. Such an annoying UX. Is it time to say goodbye to Chrome in favor of Brave, Vivaldi, etc. ?
