YouTube – Quantum Shorts – End-User Agreement

Today’s reading is End-User Agreement by Morgan Long.

At the time the Quantum Shorts anthology was published, Morgan Long was a 19-year-old sophomore at Wesleyan University. When not taking classes on math and physics, he was playing games with friends, reading science fiction, or watching YouTube videos.

You think End User License Agreements are bad today? Just wait until someone delivers a quantum computer to your lab.
