Comment Re:Not what the law says. (Score 1) 237

"You focused on sec. 230(c)(2)(B), but 230(c)(2)(A) applies to "any action taken" by the interactive computer service itself." And the definition of an interactive computer service is merely "any information service, system, or access software provider that provides or enables computer access by multiple users to a computer server, including specifically a service or system that provides access to the Internet" (section 230(f)(2))."

Twitter does not provide nor enable access to the internet or their servers, your ISP does cupcake.

"Well they haven't done it yet, but all this stuff was done over 40 years ago (yeah, even VTOL reusable rockets isn't new). But carry on. It is all new to you I guess. Must be nice to be ignorant of history."

such a typical slashdot remark, i remember when Facebook started to make it big and we saw comments like "psh i could written facebook over the weekend". Nothing even approaching the speed and magnitude of concept->R&D->Engineering->Delivery like what exists at SpaceX has been done before. period.

How could they think that catering to the SJW mob would have any other result? It's like the story of the old woman finding a rattlesnake in the snow. After finding the snake freezing to death she brings it inside and takes care of it. One day the woman bends down and the snake strikes and bites her in the neck. As she lay there dying the old woman asks "how could you do this to me?" and the snake replies "look bitch, you knew i was a snake".

I use to work for Accenture this is almost exactly what happened. You have to throw in managing directors selling third party licenses and getting kickbacks under the table though. I bet the "referral" fee for RAPID (whatever that is) was 5 figures paid to a managing director under the table by a buddy at the vendor.

Comment check your state laws (Score 1) 216

In many states non-competes are DOA from a legal perspective and serve only as a scare tactic. However, you need to know the applicable law and your rights before signing any kind of contract. For example, would you sign a loan agreement without knowing the interest rate and your legal obligations?

Even if it's enforceable, unless you're taking a couple million worth of accounts or technology with you to a competitor the legal costs of enforcing a non-compete doesn't make it worth the trouble.
