>“Each month, the FAA receives more than 100 reports of drone sightings by pilots, citizens, and law enforcement,”

Drones interfering with manned aircraft or emergency services is already illegal.

And these things are transmitting radio in both directions, putting money into tracking and prosecuting people interfering with flights is completely achievable, without any change in law.

I suspect that this is more about protecting the interests of the commercial businesses by introducing licensing as a barrier to entry.

The previous right to be forgotten was limited to only search engines operating in the EU. Meaning, google didn't have to remove the data itself, just the entry to the link in the index. GDPR is far more onerous in that it applies to all data processors everywhere.

"The ECJ ruling only enforced the right to erasure on search engines operating in Europe. The proliferation of personal data that is available online extends far beyond their indexes. It's often exploited for the benefit of others, and their motivations may be contrary to the wishes of the data subjects. It will now be extended to all data processors."

Apple's long been a proponent of doing things wirelessly; the main problem is that both power and displays aren't yet wireless. I wouldn't mind if Apple came out with a new display or 'docking station', I think they would need only one cable to connect the screen + provide power. USB-C is really versatile like that.

A shame they got rid of the SD card slot though, and I will be very upset if they get rid of the 3.5mm as well.

TLDR; According to article, SEC did do the "swift" investigation and it seems they were convinced Musk had no hard evidence to back up his $420 claim. They even drafted settlement agreement that was supposed to be signed which I'm guessing involved removing Musk from exec position. However at last minute Musk's lawyers decided not to go for settlement and now they are going to fight the case. I'm thinking they probably cooked something with Saudi to corroborate the claims - may be in exchange for some future deal. For whatever reason, Musk lawyers have figured things out so at this point Tesla is buy for me.

Looks great. My only thinking is how I would interpret the pricing.

It is $0.003 per second. So if a single test took 10 seconds, it would cost £0.03. It doesn't say if that's per second per test, or per second of parallel usage.

If for example, I have 250 tests each taking an average of 10 seconds. Is that 2,500 seconds - $7.50 per test suite run. If not, surely I can't run 250 tests in parallel for a total of 10 seconds.

Any introduction book on corporate structure and corporate governance would do as a foundation (for your jurisdiction) I would imagine, any specific questions you would have after that would be answered in the followup material in the references of such a book.

Business school and law school students have to buy many books on these topics, and their resale value is low. Any second hand book shop has lots of them, so does abebooks. It doesn't have to be expensive, it's the time you have to invest that 'costs' (in the generalized economic sense) the most.

As a counter-example, the macOS Dock was rewritten in Swift in macOS 10.12, and Mission Control was super buggy for me then. I'm not blaming this on Swift, most rewrites are buggy at first. And it never outright crashed, but getting stuck in inconsistent states is not much better.

In fact, I would argue that this new trend of defensive programming in Swift will make software worse in the long run. We had a tradition of sending crash reports back to developers. If everyone now starts their methods with `guard let param = param else { return }`, software will silently fail on end user devices, and everything will look fine in Crashlytics/App Store Connect.

I'm not saying that this is what your apps are doing. But I know that Apple bragged about their record low in crash numbers at a time when I ran into different glitches across all of their apps every single day. It's a flawed metric.

Do you have any examples?

In my experience theoretical purity is largely independent of usability, which I find is more a function of the language's expressibility and the available abstractions (and how well those abstractions play together.)

Take Elm, Haskell and Agda/Idris as examples of four programming languages with strong theoretical foundations, that also vary widely in expressibility and usability

Elm is (imho) very usable even when teaching beginners unfamiliar with the ML-style syntax. The main abstraction is parametric polymorphism (generics in oop-terms), no subtyping with inheritance and no typeclass/interface mechanism. The language has a carefully crafted culture to maintain the beginner-friendliness of the language, explicitly at the expense of expressibility (but not usability.) I personally find elm to be an incredibly usable language, specifically because it's both simple and theoretically pure. Less to understand, for more gained reliability. More practically, I often prototype completely without type signatures, relying on type inference to make sure that I'm not doing anything nonsensical. The end result (for me at least) is the speed and ease of a dynamic language, with the reliability of a statically typed language.

Haskell (without GHC extensions) offers more abstractions and is consequently "less usable" in the sense that you need to understand more theory to use things like Higher Kinded Types and whatnot. By adding GHC extensions you can gradually ramp up the expressibility (by adding abstractions,) while at the same time making the language (slightly) more difficult to use. You can get almost all the way to dependent types which brings us to..

Agda and Idris offers an incredibly powerful mechanism for abstraction called dependent types, where you essentially program your type checker as a logic. But they are (somewhat infamously) difficult to use due to having to understand the consequences of having computations at the type-level (and beyond) and consequently at compile time.

If any of those are any less pure than the other it's probably Haskell, and that's more due to the ad hoc nature of the GHC extension system, which allows you to combine extensions in problematic ways that can hide impurity.

They all compile based on some type theory as a model of computation, but those type theories can vary widely in how complex they are to understand, but the level of complexity doesn't make anything more or less pure. All of them also offers some degree of escape hatch from their "theoretical purity"-prison. Elm has its ports for js interop, Haskell has unsafeIO and friends, Agda has FFI to both js and haskell depending on backend, and I'm guessing Idris has some way of doing this as well. In this sense Elm is probably the most pure.
Do businesses (other than super small startups) actually sell their old hardware? Genuinely curious.
Unless you have worked with Musk you shouldn't be making these claims. I personally haven't but I know people who have and they tell me its mixed bag. Very passionate but if he gets a bad idea then you are screwed. Many of his various blunders include the way he insisted Tesla self driving stack should look like and how entire factory should be human-free. Both of those decisions have cost in range of 100s of millions of dollars. This is not to say he hasn't made decisions that has brought in billions of dollars.

Sectarianism existed in ireland by design. Irish men on both sides of the religious divide wanted greater autonomy from London and this was not to the British government's liking and so they backed the most hardline group and fostered disunity through fear. When it came to partitioning ireland they left out counties from northern ireland that would have meant a catholic majority and so ensured there would not easily be a unification. These were common tactics of the British empire, which was probably one of the greatest empire building groups around. I think it would be naive to think these tactics are uncommon and isolated and not still in use they are after all very effective, the people are not attacking you if they are attacking each other

>undergraduate degree in economics and a bachelor's degree in physics.

I'm in the UK my understanding is a bachelor's is a synonym for an undergraduate degree; so why did you use the different terms here?

Ah, I think I see it: you copied from Wikipedia; wherein it says he did a bachelors degree in Economics (BA?) and a further bachelors in physics (BS/BSc) whilst he was a graduate. Two undergraduate degrees.

Other sources suggest he did the degrees coterminously:

>"Musk graduated from UPenn in 1994, with double bachelor degrees in Physics (from the College of Arts and Sciences) and Economics (from the Wharton School)." (http://studyadvantage.co/elon-musk-education-study/)

That sources says he had 2 days in a PhD program.

https://www.wharton.upenn.edu/academic-programs/ suggests he did what they call a "dual degree". Making Wikipedia wrong, he didn't "stay" for his second degree he did the two together.

Force unwrapping is what it sounds like: you take an optional, and forcefully convert it to a nonoptional. Obviously there must be a valid value at this point in the program, or it will crash. Optionals are useful not only for UIs, but for handling any sort of state where it's possible for something to not have a valid value at any point in time. It just hoists such a state into the type system rather than checking this at runtime.

Who are "they"? Anyway I can think of two parties: short sellers, who actively bet on Tesla shares losing value - and who are very likely behind all the negative press about Tesla, including making sure every accident a Tesla ends up in (especially if it's down to autopilot or involves fire or a death) stays in the news for weeks if possible.

The other would be competing car makers, who only now are starting to realize that electric cars are the future, except they're 5-10 years behind Tesla. I'm sure they'll catch up soon enough, given how they're much better at mass production than Tesla is atm, but they're way behind. Tesla will probably pivot to focus on their other endeavours - batteries (building the largest battery factory in the world), charging stations (building the largest charging station network in the world), green energy (solar panels and large scale battery storage), etc.
