Under US and presumably much of the world, one party can change the terms however they like as long as they added a provision allowing them to do so. The doctrine is called âoefreedom to contractâ and operates under the fictional principle that both parties are bargaining from equal positions.

With software, itâ(TM)s an annoyance. But withe medical care, safety equipment, cars, a myriad other examples, it can be deadly as applied to limitations of liability etc.

Yay Captialism!

While the leadership of the current government is a corrupt shambles, not all sectors are, and in the past there were greater numbers of serious and community minded workers. At least some of this material comes from there and that makes it interesting.

Of course it is distraction, and of course the most interesting stuff has been culled, but that doesnâ(TM)t make it all worthless.

I agree trump is a symptom, and so is early 21st century economic policy. The cause is the ancient human tendency toward dominance and hoarding. That tendancy can and has on occasion been constrained by morals and population unity. The current tool of the most physically dominant among us is neoliberalism, and it is that which may be dismantled thereby allowing for more equitable distribution of resources. Neoliberalismâ(TM)s core lie is that every individual has the power to achieve material dominace and self-determination.

A warning to the well meaning on /.: we may mean well but we are still highly privileged. And even for us, maybe especially for us, when we are used to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

Operating a single f35 for a year takes more money than this entire project so far. There is lots of waste in govt to be sure. But if itâ(TM)s even halfway competent, basic science ainâ(TM)t it. Regardless of what conclusions might be made based on the observations, collecting more data like this is rarely bad.

They *can* be good, theyâ(TM)ve just not been well executed.

Rogue one and Solo were both almost good, Season one of Mandolorian was pretty good. I know many a nerd who is non middle aged white male who like some other stuff, and thatâ(TM)s important to me, too. Star trek is similar.

At least firefly is coming back.
