The Silicon Valley model that privacy can be negotiated person by person rather as a whole with full externalities: networked, without practical obscurity, searchable, mass, permanent etc, is 100% wrong. (Fitness company opened up data and unearthed secret US bases. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

We’re still defending women’s reproductive rights 45 years after #RoevWade. Why? Because politicians who’ve never been pregnant and had to make these gut-wrenching decisions want to score political points at the expense of women and their families.

So, cheerful news about the 'first football business university in the world' - but surely DfE hasn't approved 'university' in the company name of UCFB? manchestereveningnews.co.uk/business/busin…

Do you know why I quit my job in Vienna to stop Brexit? I thought 15yrs into the future. Saw all the obvious consequences of Brexit & imagined not having done everything in my power to prevent it. I'd hate myself Party politics is 5 yrs. Brexit is the future of the UK. Prioritise

@Frances_Coppola Not yet. It's not just about Money as Object: it's also Property as Object. Both are relationships. As I have been saying it is impossible to apply binary financial instruments to an analogue world without intractable problems at the interface. It's a metaphysical issue at base

“Brexit is going to be damaging,” says IFS chief Paul Johnson. It “just has to make us worse off”. He is asked if there is anything good about Brexit. "Um," he pauses. "It's hard to think of one." Just #StopBrexit. #FBPE. #WATON. businessinsider.com/ifs-director-p…

I am Jewish I am in my mid-50s When I was younger I could never understand how the Holocaust could have happened How so many “normal people” could be part of it In 2018, I feel I can see how easily millions can come to think the terrible is “normal” #HolocaustMemorialDay BEWARE!

Engineers are *still* expected to build safe and ethical AI systems, but everywhere I go engineers only care about the next hard problem to crack, ethically or not. The responsibility for applied AI ethics is lost in this back’n’forth @turinginst @ICComputing #ethicsinai

The leverage of the authoritarian left comes from its ability to inflict pain, damage and stigma--keeps most good people from standing up or thinking for themselves. Lying is the core of the method. You and Erika are being punished for your courage and decency. It's fully visible

Been saying this for years. #Brexit is a Tory #proxywar within the Party...the Opposition Parties need to come together and blow the whistle on this scam. It's costing the nation: place, face, cash and social coherence. It's draining the #NHS; everything. Everything.
