The US Federal Trade Commission today proposed a new rule banning US employers from using non-compete clauses in contracts with workers. The regulator called such measures that prevent employees from going to work for other companies in the same field for a certain length of time "a widespread and often exploitative practice that suppresses wages, hampers innovation, and blocks entrepreneurs from starting new businesses," and an unfair method of competition in violation of the law.

HERE THERE BE SPOILERS. Star Trek: Prodigy ’s freshman season has been fairly consistently fantastic, and while I don’t think “ Supernova Part 2 ” quite lives up to the same level of quality, I do think the season’s final episode sets us up for a really fantastic coming season two. I therefore understand the choices that were made in the construction of the episode and story, but I’m not entirely certain that I agree with all of them.

When I start the game, the effect sound comes out well, but as I progress through the game, the sound starts to stop coming out at some point. Any solution to this?

After the game launches for the first time, there is no problem, but when I continue to play the stage, there is a frame drop issue. The problem is that when I restart it returns to normal speed.

As far as I know, a non physics world only works with AABB intersections. So rectangle with rectangle. If you want to set a collision with a circle you should implement it your self( but I might be wrong).

Hi there, I’m working on a game that requires the use of rectangle, circle, and polygon colliders (Using CC version 2.x). I read the forum post about not using the physics engine to keep things simple. Using that approach, I was wondering if you need the non-physics collision system to make rect and containsPoint work for collisions other than just rectangle to rectangle collisions.
