I think I'm beginning to understand how Trudeau keeps winning.
Is it really possible to sign away a right to sue a company, especially hidden in an EULA?
Yes it is. It is called "forced arbitration" and pretty much every contract you are compelled to sign has it.
In any kind of just society with a fair legal system it would not be legal. But that doesn't describe us or our legal system.
finally recognized that continuing to steer this ship intro the dirt wasn’t the best plan
All evidence is that he was pushed out by Obama, Pelosi, Schumer etc.
Reminds me of this:
This is depressing as hell and a statement about the time we live in and the corporate overlords who control our lives.
Jimmy McGee made a great video about it last year:
Yeah that was the joke. 🙃
Edit: Also none have made it to orbit or even near orbit. They initially claimed that the third one made it to the non-circularized suborbit they had planned, but later analysis was that it did not actually reach the planned velocity:
The fundamental problem with tech in the 2020s is that it's pretty much done eating the world. The last big earth-moving platform shift was smartphones over a decade ago. Ever since they've just been trying to make wearables happen, then make VR/AR happen, then make web3 happen, then make AI happen.
They keep on trying to make these new platforms happen but they don't really have any compelling features. Before smartphones when I'd travel to a new city I'd buy a paper map.. and get lost. I don't get lost anymore. That's genuinely a different experience. Nothing since has created any sort of earth shattering change on that level.
I don't really fully understand it either but Altman has been a questionable character for a long time.
I remember when he took over ycombinator, Paul Graham boasted "if Altman got dropped onto an island full of cannibals, within three months he'd be king of the cannibals." PG thought this was terrific but I thought "why the hell would you leave someone like that in charge of your VC fund?" Altman had gotten the spot running the firm after failing out of his startup. He failed out of ycombinator and then managed to do that thing where he inexplicably failed at bigger and bigger things raising more money somehow every time.
It sounds like that's what he's doing now quite honestly. Rumor is he's been beating around the middle east raising billions for a new AI chip startup. Honestly while Elon has normalized CEOs wandering off and doing other things, the fact is that for any normal employee that alone would be grounds for dismissal, especially if he was being evasive with the board about his plans.
Switzerland's most innovative industries being mechanical watch escapements, asset hiding, and evading sanctions.
Does the trackpoint work like an old IBM thinkpad? If so this would be a really neat computer.

Biden takes his pardons very seriously. He would never pardon someone who stands accused of serious crimes.
