The withdrawal that Trump set in motion with his inept foreign policies...

He didn't just use the product he paid for in a way that doesn't hurt anybody, he sold pirated Nintendo Switch games. This is literally at the start of the article.

It then becomes very easy to say he took revenue from Nintendo (the "they wouldn't have bought it if it cost money" argument doesn't apply), but above all selling pirated material is a shitty thing to do.

I sure hope they don't plan on having more than 2 anniversaries.

Venjent has a habit of doing that

Quantum dead reckoning can't come soon enough.

I'm convinced the US military has been sitting on this technology for ages now.

Yeah the newer they are, the more frivolous they are - especially since you could argue the release of games using those patents amounts to public disclosure.

However, you're still left in the situation where an established patent is very solid and difficult to challenge, even when it should never have been granted in the first place.

5.5 million out of over 300 million is hardly a majority.

5 mil yen is about $32k. In total they're suing for about $100k.

I would imagine the 3rd patent at the very least should be invalidated - riding characters in video games predates Pokemon (MegaMan riding Rush comes to mind, as well as World of Warcraft [although I don't know if the patent predates WOW mounts]). However the nature of patents is that once they're granted they are very difficult to dismiss.

The other two are more tricky. Throwing balls at something us a uniquely Pokémon idea, I think, and the aiming one would come down to the technicalities of the patent itself, which is all Japanese to me.

Israel are refusing to allow residents to return to the north and deeming anyone who still lives there a militant - on top of blocking aid. Famine is all but certain.

Swedes with banana, curry powder, and peanuts on pizza. Along with chicken and pineapple, all together.

In most other countries outside the US they are forced to be honest. It's still an idealised version, but you wouldn't be able to get away with showing double meat in Europe.

They certainly can be noisy.

Ah phew, was wondering why I hadn't even had the notification.

Yeah exactly. CNBC aren't really twisting anything here, and they even mention the WaPo article in the 2nd bullet point at the top.

If there's anyone worth looking at over the release of this story it's WaPo. One could reasonably assume that Bezos wanted this story published, as Musk is a big rival. However at the same time they've just announced that they won't endorse anyone for this election for the first time in decades, which at best could be seen as hedging their bets in case of a Trump presidency but at worst be seen as pandering to Trump.

Pretty sure this podcast stays on topic throughout. There's a chunk of background, of course, because it basically has to explain the joke every time so the discussion can happen.

No, she didn't. However she did end up in aerospace anyway.

There was a 16th Minute of Fame podcast episode about it, including a recent interview:

Homer didn't deny anything, he wasn't even involved in that decision. He even put in a good word for her. However she basically lied when she was asked about it and that dug her in deeper, also leaving the post up didn't help.

NASA basically wanted her to not draw controversy to the agency over social media, per their rules, and they normally have a reasonable amount of leeway. But there were a couple concerning things during the process, mistakes she made (that she has probably since grown from) that led to NASA passing on her internship.

Because they make more money as they are.
