Comment Clause is now gone (Score 1) 148

Some time in the past twelve hours, the ToS was updated. There is no longer any trace of the recording clause.

There is still a clause that requires me to waive my right to participate in a class action though. I can sue EventBrite only individually, not as part of a class action. (It appears that no-one, for any reason, whether merchant or customer, can ever pursue them in a class action under that ToS.)

Submission + - Upside-down sensors cause rocket crash 3

Michi writes: According to Anatoly Zak, the crash of the Russion Proton rocket on 1 July was apparently caused by several angular velocity sensors having been installed upside down.

Each of those sensors had an arrow that was supposed to point toward the top of the vehicle, however multiple sensors on the failed rocket were pointing downward instead.

It seems amazing that something as fundamental as this was not caught during quality control. Even more amazing is that the design of the sensors permits them to be installed in the wrong orientation in the first place. Even the simplest of mechanical interlocks (such as a notch at one end that must be matched with a corresponding projection) could have prevented the accident.
