Nikola (Motors) is Suing Tesla (engadget.com)

An anonymous reader shares a report: Nikola Tesla invented alternating electrical current. Nikola Motors is a mobility company working on a hydrogen-powered semi truck. Tesla makes fully electric vehicles and last December unveiled its EV Semi. Nikola Motors is suing Tesla Motors over patent infringements, according to Electrek. Nikola alleges that Tesla infringes on three of its patents: fuselage design, a wraparound windshield on a semi truck and a mid-entry door. Nikola claims that these design similarities have "caused confusion" among customers and stolen away over $2 billion in business, and that if problems arise with Tesla's Semi (like battery fires or glitches with autonomous driving), they'll be attributed to Nikola. Typical patent troll stuff.

DNC is suing Moscow Donald's crime family

[Anonymous Coward]

Hmm, I wonder if a discussion about the President of the USA colluding with Russia's computer hacking attack on the DNC and other American targets is worth of a "News for Nerds" website.

No? Too stupid to talk about hacking that crosses over into treason?

Ok, let's talk about some small-time lawsuit instead.

Lets talk about how the DNC hack was an inside job. Hmm, I wonder if anyone remembers that part where file metadata showed the mail dump was copied from the server to a USB drive.

No? Don't remember who Seth Rich is?

Ok, lets circle jerk to the left's favorite conspiracy theory instead.
