    This is the current indemnification clause. It could've been different at the time plaintiff in this case used Bird. "In exchange for Rider being allowed to use Services, Vehicles,…

    A couple of additions: On non-disc road bikes, the tire size is limited by not only the width of the rims, but also by what the brake calipers can accommodate. For example, newer S…

    Until Dropbox adopts zero-knowledge encryption across all of its products, it's going to be a hard "no" for me. I'd rather spend my money with companies that take zero-knowledge se…
