My sense of it is that there is some risk of foreign influence both in personal data and in the algorithm, but the absolute ban is probably as much for the benefit of its American competitors and that there are probably much less extreme alternatives.

They didn't delay, the court annulled the first round that had already happened.

2004 built all my game-related expectations with the interminable delays for both Zelda: Twilight Princess and Resident Evil 4. Ever since then it's like I hear a tentpole game is announced and then next thing I know all the sudden it's out with no hype. I know it's a me-thing but I still can't shake it.

Couple years ago we ordered takeout the night before a trip, and I was talking to the guy at the front desk about plane travel and how we both traveled unsupervised to meet grandparents in Florida or whatever. And so I say "yeah it was just totally different pre-911, your parent could walk you to the gate and your grandparent could meet you right at the other gate. And he goes "ah... yeah... I never got to experience that..." So I recognize he's younger than me and I says "oh yeah you probably weren't old enough to remember that" And he says "I wasn't born yet" and when I couldn't hide the shock he was like "I'm 18, I was born in 2004" and gives an intentionally awkward smile and thumbs up. and then I turned into dust

yeah I've heard people playing it a lot but I've studiously avoided more mobile games

The Republicans even admitted it was a political prosecution.
