There are other reasons for the UK government not to award or continue Palantir contracts but this statement of intent by its CEO must surely be decisive?

I still can't quite believe that the very first attacks from Labour on Farage's bonkers idea to kick millions of people with INDEFINITE right to remain out of the UK were to argue that it's infeasible and wouldn't save anything like the amount he claimed. How about: - It's WRONG - It's IMMORAL ?

It seems like they are attacking a named product - Tylenol - rather than the active ingredient in it - acetaminophen (paracetamol) - because Trump can pronounce "Tylenol" but can't pronounce "acetaminophen".

Yes. I recently got a Sightron LPS-C1. It's specifically designed to eliminate the wavelengths associated with LED streetlights and I have genuinely been surprised at its effectiveness given that this is from Twickenham. FLO has a page that shows the technical data.

Grok is lagging. I asked it a question on the meaning of the question "Wer ist der Gral?" in Wagner's opera Parsifal. Whereas ChatGPT and Gemini gave thoughtful answers about why it is phrased like that, Grok gave the schoolboy answer that Parsifal wrongly thought the Grail was a person.

As Trump heads to the so-called “grand opening” of the Florida migrant facility, this definition - from the Holocaust Memorial Museum - needs to be widely shared and understood.

What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the modern sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.
