紐約州通過法案,禁止「競業條款」

Hacker News Daily 上看到「New York State Senate passes prohibitions on non-competes (ogletree.com)」這篇,原報導在「New York State Senate Passes Prohibitions on Non-Competes」這。

在原報導裡面給的連結就是紐約州的官方連結,提到了兩個法案:

  • Senate Bill S3100A: Prohibits non-compete agreements and certain restrictive covenants
  • Senate Bill S6748: Relates to actions or practices that establish or maintain a monopoly, monopsony or restraint of trade, and authorizes a class action lawsuit in the state anti-trust law

可以看到兩個都已經通過參議院了,下一步看起來就是送給州長了;其中 S3100A 就是這次提到的反「競業條款」法案,裡面最重要的內容也很簡單,就是直接禁止禁業條款:

2. NO EMPLOYER OR ITS AGENT, OR THE OFFICER OR AGENT OF ANY CORPORATION, PARTNERSHIP, LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY, OR OTHER ENTITY, SHALL SEEK, REQUIRE, DEMAND OR ACCEPT A NON-COMPETE AGREEMENT FROM ANY COVERED INDIVIDUAL.

在這條前面有定義什麼是「人」與「NDA」,後面有救濟措施以及一些避免鑽法律漏洞的敘述。

等正式通過後對整個美國的影響應該會不小?應該會有一陣子觀望,然後看結果後可能會有其他州也加入...

最近洩漏出來的 Intel 程式碼...

已經有不少新聞都有報導提到最近被丟出來的 Intel 程式碼:

這些程式碼都是需要簽 NDA 或類似的合約才能拿到,這次被丟出來可以看到不少東西... 發佈的人有提到可以搜尋一些「關鍵字」,像是 backdoor 這個:

然後結果還蠻有趣的,看起來這包 20GB 的檔案可以讓不少人研究一陣子...

AWS 的稽核報告服務:AWS Artifact

以往要取得 AWS 的稽核報告都必須簽署 NDA 並透過 support ticket 取得 (或是找窗口拿),現在 AWS 把這件事情做成一個服務:「Introducing AWS Artifact: Speeding Access to Compliance Reports」。

服務叫做 AWS Artifact,還是要簽保密協議,不過電子化了:

You can start downloading the audit reports in the AWS Management Console today. Many of the documents are confidential and require you to accept Amazon’s confidentiality terms and conditions, but after you review and agree to those terms, you will be granted instant access to review documents.

這樣取得資料就可以透過系統直接拉出來了:

To document the current and historical compliance of the AWS infrastructure and services, many AWS customers provide compliance reports—including those for ISO, SOC, and PCI—to their auditors or regulators.
