Broken encryption has always been a very bad idea that will put people at risk, and insisting on it will harm the UK as a place for business and cloud services. The UK government is full of experts that know this. Why does this issue keep coming up? apple.slashdot.org/story/23/06/27…

There was a very short period in human history where we had good quality colour films and enough cavalrymen to make good historical films with realistic cavalry charges.

It would be embarrassing, I suppose, if were to turn out that the e-taxis and the robots were being tele-operated by humans. The words you are looking for are 'Mechanical Turk'.

Josh Shepperd It's a game. Contingent faculty who wish to keep their customers happy will supplant hard-won expertise with entertainment. They will inflate grades to win those glorified popularity contests. If they don't, they'll be replaced by those who do play the game.

No matter how bad you think the euthanasia stories coming out of Canada are, there's always a worse one.

I am so grateful to the many scholars with whom I've discussed this work over the years, most importantly Nicholas Cole; to the Rothermere American Institute and Kinder Institute on Constitutional Democracy, who supported me through the process of producing this article;

I've asked a colleague who teaches stats in the University to run constituency deprivation scores and assisted suicide votes through some independent statistical analysis. The results are quite interesting. Here, for example, are how Labour MPs split on assisted suicide:

Did you know the Mona Lisa has a twin? You don't realize how bad a state it's in until you see the two side-by-side. And it shows why restorations in art are a major problem… (thread) 🧵

It’s been said that the next UK political scandal is probably already happening in plain sight. And it is. It’s been happening all this week at the assisted suicide bill committee. A thread:

How can a Vice-Chancellor not understand the nature of a subject taught in her own university and use her misunderstanding of the situation as grounds to close that subject down? Yesterday, the VC of Cardiff University was on the Today programme. I have transcribed her words. /

This is what a leading proponent of assisted suicide is saying in the open. Ask yourself: do you want to live in a society that makes such a tradeoff?

Last week four Labour MPs warned their colleagues they weren’t being given the full picture on the assisted suicide bill. If anything the MPs understated it. Here are 10 things we’ve learnt from the committee stage which Leadbeater and allies have studiously avoided mentioning:

“A gross misunderstanding.” Devastating from Dr Rachel Clarke, one of the witnesses who—Kim Leadbeater claims—inspired the idea of assisted suicide panels. Clarke confirms that the multidisciplinary teams she recommended are *completely different* from the Leadbeater proposal:

York University is suspending admissions to over a dozen programs in the fall, likely planning to shut them down completely in the next few years. Faculty member shares this list that went over the YU Faculty Association council email list. Astonishing

Keir Starmer in 2015: "[Surveillance] shouldn't be general and it shouldn't apply to the public in general" The UK Gov't must cease attempts to break #Apple encryption before the privacy rights of millions are eroded.

“One consultant said she could foresee a time when ‘20 to 30 patients with anorexia access assisted dying in this country every year, because of the contagion effect’.” Hadley Freeman in today’s Sunday Times on the committee’s “unforgivable” rejection of anorexia safeguards:

I'm finding that Apple's uncanny valley fake backdrops and robotic Teleprompter readings make the WWDC videos almost impossible to watch.
