  • Two very interesting things in a NDA today
    KlausK Klaus

    I don't think contracts are often intentionally ambiguous, but they are usually incomplete. For instance, most contracts don't specify what happens if aliens interfere.

    Second thing - a clause that said, in case of a dispute, we would flip a coin to see what state’s laws would prevail. Either where they’re incorporated or where we are. It specified a US quarter.

    A lawyer once explained something important to me about contracts. They are deliberately incomplete. They don't specify what happens under any possible circumstance because that would be way too elaborate or impossible. The point is that it must be sufficiently expensive to go to court for both sides that the likelihood of resolving an unanticipated situation in a mutually agreed way is high.

    I think that clause fits to that idea.

    What’s funny is that noone has forced you to read any of this. Enjoy your Japanese piano and I promise to enjoy my American one.

    I have several of his albums.

    That drummer and bass player are freakin' epic! The pianist isn't too shabby either.

    We need a "summarize NS Post in two sentences" plugin.

    Damn. Sorry to hear this but I’m confident you’ll do what you need to do to improve it.

    Lucky you found out.

    What made you get the test?

    It's not a standard recommended test over here, but I thought it would be good to test everything that has a reasonable chance of finding serious problems early (and not too many false positives), and the calcification scoring and the coronary angiography were a part of that.

    So far it was a pretty good idea. The colonoscopy found a major polyp that had a good chance of becoming a tumor a decade later. Skin cancer screening found some early signs of skin cancer that were removed. And now this test lets me manage the disease before it has become a problem.
