Drone Regulations Overturned
The District of Columbia Court of Appeals struck down FAA regulations (including registration requirements) for hobby drones, saying that the FAA isn’t legally allowed to regulate model aircraft.
With drone regulations up in the air, lawmakers are proposing the Drone Federalism which would help federal, state, and local governments work together to to regulate the use of both recreational and commercial drones.
Pinterest Is Watching Your Plate
Social media app Pinterest is using artificial intelligence to watch what users eat. But don’t worry, they don’t want to put you on a diet. In fact, quite the opposite.
Snap a photo of your food, and a new feature called Pinterest Lens will figure out what you’re enjoying and offer up recipes for similar items. Users will also be able to search for recipes using filters that reflect special diets.
