I would like to think that there is legislation that prevents a company from eliminating your legal rights. The people should always have the right to bring a class action and no terms and conditions could ever eliminate this. If this isn't federal law, it needs to be. As another example, could Walmart make a condition of entry to a store such that if you are suspected of shoplifting you waive your right to remain silent when interrogated by police?

Yes! There was a 1957 episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, based on a 1954 story that used this exact idea. https://barebonesez.blogspot.c...

Because earnings were 3% below predicted: $2.93 instead of $3.01. That seems severe. Perhaps one day IBM stock will skyrocket when they say they will be selling quantum computers. I wonder if quantum computing will advance AI?

Why would any company involved in AI want to incorporate in the USA? What is to prevent them from moving to the EU or Cayman Islands or anywhere Bernie can't apply his 50% tax?

It's different when you have a contract with a company that goes bankrupt. You get screwed in that case. Vmware didn't go bankrupt and I see no reason why Broadcom should be able to buy the company but not have to take over all the obligations including the service contracts. This should be an easy win for Tesco and if Broadcom tries to do this to USA based customers, Broadcom should lose in USA courts too.

Fleet operators can use the savings to pay for lawsuits resulting from crashes. Tesla has to go without lidar due to Elon's mindset. I'll stick with Waymo technology when I want a driverless car.

Is this the beginning of the end of Google's dominance in online search?

I never liked those bumper stickers that said, "Split wood, not atoms" I always thought nuclear power was less polluting than wood. That being said, I do burn wood in an efficient insert because I like having a nice radiant heat source in one room. The dog likes the fire too.

Will the MVNOs such as Cricket, Mint, RedPocket and others get access to this network?

Over 2.5 years you would have 1 year of almost no gravity and 1.5 years of 38% gravity. I can't imagine going back to Earth and walking around in 1G after all that time losing muscle.

I don't want to be outside and hear your 120db motorcycle or your 4 cylinder car with a fart pipe. I wish those cars, trucks and motorcycles could be booted from the road as well!

I was going to say this. Ernst & Young trying to cover their asses but keep the cash coming in.

They will have to replace a lot of energy currently generated by hydroelectric if rivers begin to freeze over.

There are 4047 square meters in one acre. If I had a home with a heat pump that consumed 4kW I could run it with one acre of these panels - although I probably couldn't start it up. There won't be much use for this technology on Earth.
