politicalbetting.com » Blog Archive » For first time since being sacked after getting GE2005 spot on NOP (now GfK) is back doing UK political polls
One of the great jokes whenever people interested in polling have met in recent years is that is the person from NOP (now GfK) popping up to remind to remind us that the firm in its last published political poll got the outcome of the 2005 general election absolutely right.

We need more polling! Who can forget the wonders of the daily polls in the run-up to the 2015 GE?
Well, now we know that TSE isn't in charge of PB for the night shift!
Really?
Congratulations to Kieran - so we can be confident of sound analysis as well as robust data.
His defence solicitor claimed that he would join former county champions Leicestershire as a professional player after being offered a contract just before his arrest, on the condition that he was not jailed. However, the club deny having any links to him, saying today they were 'bemused' by the claims.
Appears to be a violent
Walter MittyPaul Nuttall.Welcome back NOP/GfK.
Probably the last time I post this, but my post-race analysis is here:

Strongest starting weekend for a long time, perhaps ever and the first time I was green at the first race since 2013, so pretty happy (but aware 2013 turned red overall).
And Mr. M picked out Raikkonen for fastest lap at pleasing orders.
Arf! Be some SERIOUS questions asked of their methodology if not.....
Very droll. Are we going to have the change figures published alongside? If so, it's not impossible that we could have a set of 10s: if it's 26/43/13, that'd be Lab -10, Con +10, LD -10
Lord help us, another afternoon of pointless nostalgia and remembering some catchphrase from someone who hasn't posted here for 5 years.
A little more about GfK by the way:

He didn't do what he did because he was angry at the lack of weekly bin collections in his neighbourhood.
"Thousands of refugees could flock to Britain from France if voters decide to leave the European Union, a spokesman for David Cameron said on Monday, underlining the prime minister's stance that an exit would hurt security.
Earlier his spokesman said thousands of refugees could cross the Channel into England "overnight" if Britain voted to leave the European Union at a referendum, which could take place as early as in June."

That oul chancer once thought Mike Pence was a long range bet for President. Outrageous.
Oh, wait a second...
"What's the difference between a buffalo and a bison?"
"Can't wash you hands in a buffalo".
On a more serious note, much (if not most) of the empire was a burden, economically and militarily. Our trade with Germany, France, South America and China were often more important.

Coming to a post Brexit Britain?

I don't have a vote as I live across the road from the boundary in the badlands of Potters Bar Parkfield.
However, the majority of my pub-going does take place in the ward.
I will keep my ear to the ground but will expect a lot of blank expressions if I ask any of the locals about it.
The comments below the line are rather fun!
The Councillor who resigned was called Penny Swallow.
A club cricketer in his mid 30s whose official career stats is a massive total of a single first class game in Pakistan getting a contract with the country champions doesn't sound very likely to put it mildly.
We aren't talking about Wasim Akram of Pakistani cricket here. There is more chance of Mrs May passing Labour's Brexit tests.

When the robotic AI makes a mistake, all future AI will be programmed to ensure it isn't repeated. Humans can't transmit this information to all other humans.
What is actually shows is Uber have been in too much of a rush to beat the others to market with their self driving car and we can see they are no where near ready.

Great crystal ball..
but tbf Tessy will be saying the same thing Tue-Sun and back to Monday again.
I see the unique BBC ordinance of no comments in Scotland on Scottish political stories still persists.
30km between accumulations is a fair old gap to say it is one field. Presumably the independent expert is happy with pressure and oil quality connectivity issues to confirm that. Of course, they could stick some wells between to take away any doubt, but have, er, budgetary constraints.....
I've no doubt that, done properly, robocars alone would be safer than human driven cars, but I'm less convinced that robocars can mix with human driven cars on the road, or that the general public will be as understanding of robocars making mistakes as they are of people.

In comparison, automated cars linked together driving would be way way more efficient (and safer). Especially for Inner cities, small pods you get in, and which can efficient form "trains" of cars which split and combine as and when required is certainly within the reach of technology. Such as setup you could get way more pods / cars on the roads and speed up average journey times.

Are they celebrating Professor Paul getting news that he will be awarded a nobel prize?
Who'd get the seat? Button probably doesn't want it. Hakkinen would be fun but that'd be a hell of a sabbatical.
Giovinazzi impressed in his debut, but he's a Ferrari chap.
Maldonado! It all makes perfect sense...
And in the process, more edge and corner cases will be introduced, causing more potential conflicts, problems and testability issues.
Agree at the rush Uber's been in, and would add their rather 'interesting' approach to regulation. If anything, the regulation side of automated cars is more interesting than the actual tech.
I did say at the time of May's first Cabinet that Rudd had probably been made Home Secretary to make the PM look good...

1) works
2) is fast
A problem with the Honda is that, as well as being 120-160bhp behind rivals, it's creating such vibrations that are actually breaking other parts of the car.
Lol.
A story I've said before: twenty or so years ago, a major car manufacturer implemented test cars with a drive-by-wire system. Amongst other things, this had no mechanical connections between the steering wheel and the actual wheels (something that was mandatory at the time AIUI). They had one data bus for the whole car. Things were fine until someone changed the CD in the CD autochanger, at which point the bus became saturated with data and the steering would not operate for a few seconds ...
In the same way they should have had a separate bus for critical systems, firewalled from non-critical systems such as entertainment, networked cars should have massive f'ing firewalls between the driving systems and the networks.
