Fair point and I will give you that. However my point is that:

A) NDAs and the like are not going to affect you anyways unless you violate them by disclosing information you were specifically told not to. Sign it anyways.

B) Non-compete contracts are the only thing worth reviewing here. Even still they are so astronomically unlikely to ever affect you anyways. Sign it anyways unless you're working in a very niche field.

I don't even disagree with you that companies should have to disclose those documents upfront before the hiring process. However the advice you're giving is not good advice. It hinders someone's opportunity for employment. If HR thinks you're being difficult with them they will just find someone else and you lose your opportunity.

I work in IT and we bought another company. During the merge we had people being difficult with people installing new MFA software on their devices because of data privacy rights concerns. They were claiming that they weren't going to install it because it violates their data Privacy rights. The companies response > There's the door. Companies don't play around in America.

If you ask HR for the paperwork so your lawyer can review them before signing I can assure you that you won't need to worry about it anymore anyways.

I actually replied but was shadow banned. Reposting with edits.

>What if the NDA has huge financial penalties

..If you broke it. Don't break a contract lol. If it's another companies product or property they own the rights to it. Doesn't matter if you don't like it. That's called being a responsible adult.

>What if the Noncompete is over the top and boxes you in?

IANAL but noncompetes can be disputed and it's usually a facade anyways. The only time a company is going to sue you over a non-compete is if you were going to be hired to their direct competitor with your knowledge. Like a head AMD engineer transferring to a head Intel engineer. Even then, remote employment opportunities would likely render those null and unenforceable.

So to summarize: These points are just moot. The only one remotely close to worrying about is the noncompete and even that is probably useless or unenforceable in most circumstances.

Ok but if they are being unethical how do these documents affect you once signed. NDA and IP are not going to screw you over unless you talk about stuff you were told not to. And you wouldn't have the knowledge about their ethics or products without signing those documents first. At worst maybe they try to use a noncompete clause to box you in to only work for them but I feel like that's unlikely and mostly a waste of their time if you just quit.

Reply to What do you see happening over the next 300 years to a millennia? In what way will it be different to how it is today? by Serious_Final_989

I don't think humanity makes it past 300 years. We are too volatile. We are all a bunch of slightly smarter monkeys sitting on world devastating devices at a moments notice. All it's going to take is someone calling Putin's mother a fat bitch and M.A.D. begins.

Assuming we don't kill ourselves first. The natural increase in population and climate change will start to impact both habitable regions as well as crop growth over the next 100+ years. People don't realize that climate change is more than just a "small global temp increase" it can affect local climates significantly more. This will inevitably restrict populations to consolidate and force mass relocation.

Governments are way too slow to adapt to change and getting the entire world on climate focus is never going to happen. We have senators like MTG saying on podcasts that global warming is good because the cold kills people. We just can't fix that level of stupidity.

Personally I don't think other planets will ever realistically be able to be colonized long term. It's doomed to failure from the start. It's too hostile, all it takes is one mistake or one bad actor to destroy an entire colony.

Most people don't even know how to do basic life skill tasks these days like crop growth or hell even cooking for themselves. Once something happens that disrupts/kills a good percentage of the population the economy will inevitably fail from a hard recession. Causing food and transport shortages. Causing more people to die, leading to more economic collapse.

So TLDR my outlook is that humanity is on the brink of extinction by 1000 years. In truth COVID was a real wake up call to how not prepared we really are. COVID wasn't even remotely as deadly as the next thing could be. There were approximately 1.1 million deaths from Covid in the US, a relatively meager amount compared to the total population of 335 million, and we are still feeling the economic effects today and probably will for a long while.

Reply to Why is this sub so luddite now ? by Shelfrock77

What the fuck did I just read.

Anyways I'm all for tech and tech dystopia conversation here but there is literally no way you will be able to preserve a human mind via "uploading". It would be a mere copy of a personality at best. The human ie: you would be dead. It's like star trek transporters. If your molecules get broken down to an atomic level and reassembled from binary data you just die and a new creation is made in your place.

For starters we can't even explain how our brain actually works and this is a huge rabbit hole you can dive down. I'm willing to bet AI research will significantly outpace any brain related breakthroughs for the foreseeable future. For one the ROI on AI research is way more valuable.

Cybernetics are more likely than mind uploading anyways.

Edit: AI also doesn't work like people think it works either. Right now it's machine learning based on pattern recognition and it's fairly crude. It may take many decades to leave this zone and it may require AI to be ran on small portable Quantum Computers in order to reach the expectations people have of a humanlike AI sentience.

Reply to comment by sparkleyflowers in Former teacher who made 'adult' video in classroom says she was kicked off OnlyFans by WREGnewschannel3

Although it wasn't your original intention I think this guy raised a valid point. Which is the fact that if this was a guy in this story this entire reddit thread would be crucifying him and not suggesting "well that sucks he had to do sex work on the side".

I'm sure that's not a topic you wanted to entertain but I think that particular criticism was valid and also agreed that teachers probably should get paid a bit more.
