Intel's CEO is an engineer.

I just don't understand how someone can read all the warnings, get a driver's license (implying their knowledge of the rules of the road) and presumably have years of driving experience and magically think it's ok to just stop paying attention.

It doesn't matter if the car fully promotes itself as self driving, it doesn't matter if the laws surrounding it still require you to be present and in control.

It's no different than 1000hp cars, just because the car is marketed as such, doesn't magically make it legal to go 200mph.

You take them from one place to another, typically without their consent.

It's because computer science degrees aren't really programming degrees.

A computer science degree sets you up to be a scientist, most common dev jobs are just glorified Lego sets patching libraries together and constructing queries. There is skill, knowledge, and effort in those jobs, but they are fundamentally different.

Most common software dev jobs are closer to the end user than not.

Friday the 13th vs gone girl.

When I was in school, generally nothing, the teacher might bother you about it, but they for the most part don't care and would rather move on with the day.

Sometimes kids parents would devise a reason to exclude their kid, but it was effectively optional, though generally encouraged.

This is basically disc golf.

Take an existing park/ site/ property / walking trail / hiking trail, and slap some baskets and a few tees (concrete optional in a ~3'x5' square for the 'tee', but a marked off piece of dirt is also acceptable)

Course is in a forest? Better dodge the trees! The course near me encircles soccer fields and a walking path, another one near me follows along a creek.

There are courses that go under power lines and some that are nested away in between buildings.

To add, it is typically manifested as generic 'compute' or in the case of azure 'functions' where you environment the code is running on is abstracted away, instead you are just paying for compute, e.g. this function takes x time/cycles to run and so it costs y to run it each time.

In theory you don't need to worry about scale or anything, just deploy your function, and pay for what it uses.

Phones are neither locked to their geographic area, nor long distance in the us.

In fact, my us carrier doesn't even charge me roaming in Europe or canada for data.

This is so not true unless you are using some super stable old Debian release and aren't doing complex work.

Most DEs are super buggy, especially the darling child kde, which right off the bat makes things not super stable.

Additionally some of the most loved distros are rolling release and inherently unstable.

Hell, I use multiple distros daily, fedora and slackware, I also use windows for work, windows is by and large more stable in my experience.

Slackware has kernel panics monthly, kde crashes on fedora, Wayland has too many problems to count, meaning I have to switch to x sessions all the time.

Most GUI software I use has tons of visual glitches.

Yes it's tolerable, that's why I still use it, but I wouldn't exactly say it 'just works'

I would estimate I restart my fedora computer about 4-5 times more often than than the windows computer, and usually I have to restart fedora because of serious hard crashes (e.g. kde crashes so hard that I can't even switch to a tty, meaning I need to hard reset)

Governments are also hoovering up encrypted files and storing them for later so when the time comes, they can go and decrypt everything.

Gov seized your hard drive and you feel safe knowing it's encrypted, better hope the forgot where they put it in 15 years.

The image in the article shows the entire thing being 20cm and the actual 'blade' portion of the toy being around 13cm long. a little longer than the blade on a pretty standard multi tool like a Leatherman.

Is this seriously what the police were actually concerned about, I understand that it's different in the UK vs the US, but this is definitely overkill. This thing would need to be pinched between your thumb and index finger like a cigarette to be wielded and is arguably less dangerous than a fork.
