Google have bought Boston Dynamics, creator of that freaky dog robot that moves in a creepy way.

We've all seen this years ago, will be interesting to see what Google actually do with it. Probably nout.
Put your phone down to to make a cup of tea so you can ignore a youtube advert and the thing will probably jump up and fucking chase you

We're all fucked. The best way for google to snoop on us is with killer dog robots with lasers for eyes.

From the same article:

Yeah but that's comparing apples and oranges - we have 4 years of accurate Sea Ice volume info from the Satellite - that's all.

Before that we have guesswork - and guesswork is extremely susceptible to subjectivity and bias.

All the stuff before geosat has such high margins of error you would be pretty unscientific to base anything on it.

As I said Sea Ice volumes just seem to reflect wind patterns.

Sigh. It was so close to just kind of going away with the growing up of a less-radical generation. Looks like it's only going to escalate. MI5 & co have greater powers than ever to watch these nutters, now, though.

The slow descent back to the troubles continues...

I don't think its anything to get too concerned about. Most of the time this isn't even "sectarian" in the old fashioned sense, its straightforward protection rackets and extortion. There are lots of former IRA types in Dublin knocking lumps out of each other all the time (including shootings and pubs mysteriously burning down); doesn't mean much other than straightforward criminality. Not to say there aren't "issues" in the North, but the numbers prepared to get their hands dirty are pretty small these days (I think I read somewhere that you could fit all the active dissident Republicans in one Transit Van).

The Yanks demonstrate their unerring ability to upset other nations...

Actually I'm with Uncle Sam on this one; but then I generally am on the side of anyone not a"diplomat being a dick and abusing their position". The woman was more or less keeping an indentured servant ffs and committing visa and employment fraud. And to add to the irony she's the Indian spokesperson for "the empowerment of women". Fuck her tbh.
