If US ignores the ruling, WTO will probably grant Russia the right to ignore intellectual property rights of US firms. It did in the past for Antigua if I recall correctly.
The difference is that Antigua is not full of high-skilled programmers that could turn leaked Windows sources into a rival commercial product.
I wonder if Russia can fight that at World Trade Organization's dispute settlement body? This is a flavor of protectionism US vowed to end when signing WTO treaties, after all.
They have discussed sharing a split of the revenue from premium video on demand, or PVOD, with the cinema chains if they give their blessing to the concept.
It is nice to seek cinema chains' blessing, but why do they need it? Usually big corporations just take the money without regards to consequences for third parties.
IIRC, Candida blood infection means the thing managed to grow mycelium inside blood vessels. I am not sure wether a patient is supposed to recover from that if antibiotics are of no help.
How is this a breakthrough? We know how to efficiently produce biological structures by genetically modified bacteria, why using a plant would be more efficient?
Even if intelligent civilization extinct themselves, we should still see their TV broadcasts before their extinction.
One possible explanation is that earth-based life made it to radio-emitting civilization the fastest as possible, and no other civilization elsewhere made it sooner enough so that we could see their radio emission.
But unfortunately, that explanation is not incompatible with us extinguishing ourrselves.
Now North Korea has the WMD that missed Iraq to avoid being invaded, we will see if their leader is just rationale (he is safe and can calm down) or really mad (he seeks more nuclear-related provocations).
CEO Tim Cook might have considerable political clout in the United States
It is the other way around, US has clout on Apple! When you own 10000 dollars to the bank, you worry, when you own one billion dollar to the bank, the bank worries.
If someday US wants to collect taxes on Apple, there will be no need to look for money in fiscal paradises, just seize the treasury bonds.
If I understand correctly, the owner of a pre-fork bitcoin can now sell it twice, on standard bitcoin and on bitcoin cash.
That is not a huge problem, except for platforms that pretend to handle both bitcoins. I assume they will need to consider them as two distinct currencies.
Some comments are about the similarity with TV for previous generations. In my opinion, smartphones are much more social game changers than TV.
For a teenager, the smartphone is now the entry point for social interaction. It follow kids all the time, always request attention, and punish by social isolation the one that will not use it enough. It is both compulsory for social interaction and the destroyer of social interactions.
Indeed the economical landscape made the project unprofitable. Still, it is unusual that project leaders manage to write off a multi billion expense before completion and move to something else. Forecast failure is usually rather ignored until the loss cannot be hidden anymore.
That leave a problem unsolved with backups: the time spent to transfer data from one random server to the tape. Even on high speed LAN with top of performance tape, it can take some time.
The experiment corrected the defect in nearly two-thirds of several dozen embryos, without causing potentially dangerous mutations elsewhere in the DNA
Do they survey the entire genome before and after the edition to check that?
Also, I wonder if an edition could higher (or lower) the odds of mutations later in lifetime at some specific place in the DNA
We thought Uber created work conditions where collective bargaining and unions could not exist, and here it comes back again. This is wonderful.
The only problem is that without relevant labor laws, nothing will prevent Uber from punishing the workers that have been doing this new kind of collective bargaining.

This is capitalism at its finest: Good news, our retirered workers die early.
The Mountain View, Calif., social network is hoping to tap into lucrative TV advertising revenue to boost its ever-expanding bottom line
Facebook is not based in Mountain View. I suspect you confused with another California-based GAFA.

Why are you and I subsidizing Elon Musk's products and when will his businesses be able to compete on their own?
I do not subsidize this. One reason why you do subsidize is to make sure US tech has an edge over other countries (including mine) startups.

That the point: US treasury could seize its own bonds wherever the holder is, but just not paying for them.
electric vehicles emit no exhaust fumes, they still produce large amounts of tiny pollution particles from brake and tyre dust
Here we are: the fix is to introduce electric flying cars. Or hovercrafts, at least.
