It has a clear storytelling purpose of having the reader eagerly wait to hear whom it was that he taught (who is this mysterious student?), and conveys the irony that something so seemingly everyday can be so important. In fact, this is the same irony explained in the first paragraph; the sentence reads as if it was the first paragraph with the blanks filled in.

Optimizing every single sentence equally for efficiency makes dull writing, and if that’s what you want, you might want to use a summarizer.

orders are not automatically revoked when appealed. the appeal court has to issue an emergency stay if it believes the appellant has a good chance of succeeding or hard-to-reverse harm would happen if the stay wasn’t issued.

the circuit court just rejected the stay application, so SNAP payouts are a go!

(poor people getting aid they’re already supposed to get is not very uplifting tho imo)

orders have enactment dates so the orderees have time to implement it or appeal. the enactment date was yesterday night, so that is to be expected, and you were gonna see that message change this morning...
except SCOTUS stayed it yesterday night

Hello, I am an employee of Truro Cathedral and I’d like to clarify that the contested fourth spire does not actually belong to the cathedral proper but is part of an existing structure the cathedral is attached to which is actually its own individual parish church. It’s the only remaining wing of the original St Mary’s Parish Church, and still operates as its own church with the Dean of the Cathedral being the Rector. long story short, the cathedral has three spires and the church has one. Just seen a lot of discourse about this online recently and I thought it might help to have one of us give an explanation. I’m happy to verify my identity. CRBarry (talk)

So there is a very good reason we rely on what reliable sources say instead of contradicting original observation.

If by hierarchical you mean the role of social capital, I feel like that's how things would function in an anarchist society and I don't see a better solution. If by hierarchical you mean the WMF, then I agree (hence anarchistic instead of anarchist).

I don't think so, unless by "few" you mean a couple hundred.

    Nintendo's Creature Capture Patent Dealt Blow Amid Palworld Lawsuit ( gamerant.com )

    Japan's patent office has rejected a Nintendo application related to its Palworld lawsuit, citing a lack of originality. The decision raises questions about the validity of several Nintendo patents describing creature capture systems that are central to the company's complaint against Palworld. ...

    Aatube ,
    @Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

    As part of their ongoing lawsuit, Nintendo is claiming PalWorld has violated those... now invalid patents, so Nintendo's overall case against PalWorld is now significantly more weak.

    That directly contradicts your quote:

    Since the application isn't cited in the Palworld patent lawsuit directly, its rejection won't have a direct impact on the ongoing case. However, as explained by Games Fray's analyst Florian Mueller, the newly rejected application is a "key building block" in Nintendo's strategy to capture a wide range of creature-capture system implementations. It is the child of patent JP7493117 and the parent of JP7545191, both of which are cited in Nintendo's complaint.

    IANAL, but IIRC atl in US law "child patent" just means it adds new claims to the parent patents' technology, so this just invalidates the parts that Nintendo did not use in its lawsuit.

    @Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

    Thanks, I did miss that one was a child of the rejected patent. That said, child status only means that the patent is based on the parent invention, not that a dependency tree for the patents' validity. I've confirmed that this is true in Japanese law as well after searching it up:

    D) Advantage of filing divisional applications
    2) Providing a fallback to the parent application
    Filing divisional applications leaves open the possibility that applicants may obtain a patent granted partially, even
    though the parent application is ultimately rejected by the JPO.

    https://shigapatent.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Divisonal-Application.pdf

    I would wait for the patents actually used in the lawsuit being invalidated before cheering.

    was published... after... Nintendo's lawsuit began. [...] insane bullshit that would piss off a judge, to me.

    This is true regardless of whether or not the patents are invalidated.

    Reiwa 6 began in 2019

    Reiwa is the imperial era beginning in 2019, meaning Reiwa 1 is 2019 and Reiwa 6 is 2024. The name translates to "Fine Harmony". The more you know!

    Aatube ,
    @Aatube@kbin.melroy.org avatar

    Thanks!

    Thing is, the heading says that the reason the child patent is filed is specifically to make its claim still stand even if the parent patent is invalidated. I would expect that Nintendo's big-suit lawyers have engineered the patent to have minimal overlap with parts that may be invalidated. Child patents are not for amending the original patent's claims but to file a new ones.

    Here are the other reasons the documented said you might want to file a child patent:

    1. Response to a violation of the requirement of unity of invention [(the same patent cannot contain multiple inventions)]
      If an Office Action (OA) is issued due to a violation of the requirements for unity of invention, it may be possible for the
      applicant to obtain a patent by separating claims which do not satisfy the requirements for unity of invention from the
      parent application by filling them as divisional applications.
    1. Obtaining patents for inventions described only in the specification
      Patents can also be obtained for inventions that are described only in the specification of the original application, but
      not described in the claims, by filing one or more divisional applications for the desired inventions.
    2. Issuing a warning against competitors by keeping applications pending for an extended period of time
      The application pendency period can be prolonged by filing divisional applications. This urges competitors to observe
      the status of the existence of divisional applications. It is effective to put pressure and restrictions on competitors
      designing their products and so forth.

    You're right.

    In Western regions (North America and Europe) around 2009, the video game industry saw the success of Zynga and other large publishers of social-network games that offered the games for free on sites like Facebook but included microtransactions to accelerate one's progress in the game, providing that publishers could depend on revenue from post-sale transactions rather than initial sale.[23] One of the first games to introduce loot box-like mechanics was FIFA 09, made by Electronic Arts (EA), in March 2009 which allowed players to create a team of association football players from in-game card packs they opened using in-game currency earned through regular playing of the game or via microtransactions.[26] Another early game with loot box mechanics was Team Fortress 2 in September 2010, when Valve added the ability to earn random "crates" to be opened with purchased keys.[13] Valve's Robin Walker stated that the intent was to create "network effects" that would draw more players to the game, so that there would be more players to obtain revenue from the keys to unlock crates.[23] Valve later transitioned to a free-to-play model, reporting an increase in player count of over 12 times after the transition,[25] and hired Yanis Varoufakis to research virtual economies.[27] Over the next few years many MMOs and multiplayer online battle arena games (MOBAs) also transitioned to a free-to-play business model to help grow out their player base, many adding loot-box monetisation in the process,[25][28] with the first two being both Star Trek Online[29] and The Lord of the Rings Online[citation needed] in December 2011.
