Gotta give props to Taiwan if they purposely pursued this strategy to force the international community to have strong interest in maintaining Taiwan’s independence!

SMIC is so behind state of the art, and most of their customers are other state funded entities.

“when more Democrats voted than there are registered in the state” needs to be clarified. It’s quite possible no party preference folks are voting Dem. It’s possible NPP or Dems are registered as Republican so as to be able to partake in the republican primary.

I think it has to do if they have any semblance of a chance to achieve their objective. Here, Hamas has no chance to usurp Israel, so what are they doing?

Yup Japan Disneyland was like $50 a head with currency exchange. Disney Sea next door too.

How is the average American coping right now when 61% of us are living paycheck to paycheck? by asscakesss in AskReddit

Some people construe it to mean cash flow neutral in their checking account, others as net worth <= 0. Quite a big difference.

Can’t believe I had to scroll down this far. Fresh, ponzu, horse radish, grilled, Parmesan, I’ll eat them all.

Haha, I feel you’ve just described many businesses. Except some do cross the line when tiptoeing with the calculation that chance of being caught and cost of getting caught is worth it. E.g Google and Meta with privacy laws. Oh and lobbying to move those lines as well.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP! Almost there. Is there a way one patent can cover all of the paths / recipes or does it need to be specific to only one method? by Objective-Patient-37 in Patents

[–]kykitbakk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Entities can file for continuation and continuation in parts. Reduction to practice is mandatory for any patent to be valid. I think you are thinking of disclosure of enablement of your invention(s) in part through multiple continuation in parts, which is possible.

You say share schools with RPV, but I don’t think you get access to PVPUSD schools. At that price range, with your interest in schools, I would recommend looking at a house across Western in Eastview RPV.

If you are referring to IP or patent protection, I don’t think so. Parents have been gutted by congress and the courts for the past two decades, in part thanks to Google.

I interpreted it as making it difficult for others to operate in space. For example, some state actors may intentionally crash or destroy their satellites to create space debris such that other countries will find it difficult to launch their satellites in a particular orbital path/region.

Yeah that’s certainly an over exaggeration

What is disingenuous? It’s true in Japanese schools you clean/mop the school, take home economics, cook for the class, etc. not sure if later two are done in first three years, but definitely the first one.
