This was filed in 2017-05-31, so wouldn't have been published until 2018-12-01 (18 months later). Samsung likely wouldn't have know about it until then.

Not only did she show that it would have worked, but also that it used architectural techniques that wouldn't be seen for another 300 years.
It insists that conveys a distinct and useful meaning because they don't certify pilot quality. Instead, the pilot has been issued a certificate confirming that they passed a test to a particular minimum standard. The reason for the difference is to convey that there is no assurance or guarantee that the pilot consistently and continuously meets this standard. Unlike with a "certified used car", the FAA is not going to be held responsible if your pilot crashes your plane.
Reference: I am an FAA-certificated Flight Instructor and Commercial Pilot.

Privacy-first Location Services
I'm building a founding team of engineers who are passionate about privacy. And about the potential to architect a mobile app and backend with massive scale and reach. I've co-founded two startups before (2nd one acquired), then took a few years out to study applied science at MIT. Now there's a product I'm insanely passionate about turning into another startup. Working with counsel, I filed two patent applications on a technology solution for getting the benefits of location sharing without reducing any user’s privacy or anonymity. And I've validated the growth model with two key channels who bring a critical mass of users. I have funding: offer of convertible note funding from a friendly VC, and the ability to self-fund this through MVP.
The key roles I'm pulling together are UI/UX, front-end (Swift/iOS first), back end (large data/map optimization), but mostly I'm looking for strong technical generalists who are also excited about building a startup with a culture that loves learning, technical problem solving, and is located walking distance from MIT. Depending on the founding team, we may explore becoming a remote-first company. christian-hn@curatedinnovation.org
These submissions could be made by Tesla, or any third party who cares about the illegitimate patent not being in effect. If anyone, at any time, demonstrates that prior art existed before the date of the patent application, that patent can be permanently invalidated. This happens frequently, and is often used by victims of patent trolls to defend themselves. With the side benefit of "punishing" the patent troll.

Only relative downside is that there's no integration with Firefox's "Subscribe to this page" button, which TOR has. That means you need to use a javascript bookmark to subscribe to new feeds, which feels kludge-ey in comparison.
Fascinating what's possible by one man and his drone without any corporate authorization. As I was watching I first thought this was an official release, it looked so slick. We will see more like this. On balance I like the implications for public transparency.
Admirers of Fidel Castro around the world - and all his admirers on this page - have one thing in common: they never had to live under his dictatorship.
Agreed the sanctions were unproductive. More than anything else, US sanctions helped Castro stay in power for half a century.
But to blame the sanctions for his atrocities - or to say the good he did outweighed the bad - is to be willfully blind: When Cuban government ships spotted a tugboat full of refugees headed for Florida on July 13, 1994, they blasted it to pieces with high-pressure fire hoses. “Our tugboat started taking on water,” recounted one of the survivors, María Victoria García. “We shouted to the crewmen on the boat, ‘Look at the children! You’re going to kill them!’ And they said, ‘Let them die! Let them die!’” Forty-one of the refugees did. [2]
While you write about the good things he did from your comfortable home with high speed internet, with the rule of law in a capitalist liberal democracy, this is how desperate his citizens were to leave this country of “good things”, and how barbarous was Castro against his own people.

In American English, the phrase, "He murdered thousands," can't be followed by the word "but..."
These are facts I learned only after doing more research, after listening to friends who are gay and who did years of research.
So we all need to be careful not to repeat the trope "but healthcare and education were good and free and available to all". I for many years allowed those reports, parroted so often, to soften my judgment of Castro. But now learning of the extent of the horrors of oppression, those outweigh any social welfare "results".
And now I have had cause to question even those results as I read and learn of a healthcare system where critical operations that were performed only after agonizing waits for eight months and then by doctors and nurses so starved of supplies that they sometimes operated with bare hands.
Castro should be remembered for the suffering he caused - all of it preventable. The best way to him sum up is to consider that he created an island prison where nobody was allowed to leave without his permission - and for an unbearable number of years most of the world applauded him. I hope you will remember this and hear the cynical trying to tie themselves to a "distinguished legacy" when politicians comment today.
So Michael is saying something useful: we're willing to invest in a team with no credentials, no deals, no business development. Other things are more important. Things that are democratically available to us: building product, iterating with small customers, clarity of communication.
