I wonder whether any Apple products have ChiCom spy tech in them. It seems unlikely, but the ChiComs are, shall we say, dedicated, in their efforts to spy on us. (And, no, I haven't thought of any good plan to limit the damage from all that spying.)
I might be missing something, but the bloke that's been cancelled was spreading fake news was he not? Or, at the very least, speculating on the motive of the killer which I don't think has been confirmed one way or another.
His comments on the killer were pretty much the exact opposite of what law enforcement had already confirmed. He wasn’t “one of MAGA’s own”, he was a hard left furry friend of transgenders.
It was a deliberate lie, and was likely to be censured by the US broadcasting authorities.

Well, that's as may be but the broadcaster doesn't have to put up with it if it doesn't want to. I'm not sure what's controversial here.

I’m wholly unconvinced that his heart is in it. From day one he was contradicting Sultana (whose heart looks to be in it a bit too much, to the detriment of everyone else!)
He’s 76 years of age and I suspect he fancied his last few years in Parliament to consist of going back to speaking at protests rather than mounting some great comeback (involving lots of organisation and teamwork).
The fact is that Sultana et al have calculated that the only way of getting this outfit off the ground is to use Corbyn’s name and profile.

Is this something that all right thinking people can agree is just completely wrong? Not a problem at my local as they have lots of bar staff and you never have to wait more than a minute or two to get served.
Ive walked out of a pub that was doing it Its the thin end of the apocalypse wedge and it must be eradicated forcefully by officials from the common sense police
Absolutely. Maybe we can deport offenders to France on a one in one out basis. I have spent over 30 years perfecting my bar presence skills and I don't want that all written off by this hideous woke nonsense.
The note folded between two fingers and catch the barmaids's eye, make sure she serves the outrageously pretty and nervous girl before you like a good gent then you're away. Why ruin it with clearly deviant behaviours?
I once waited for ages to be served in a Romford bar one Saturday night, must have been 15 mins, and when the barmaid came to me I let the pretty girl next to me go first... it was the start of a decades worth of aggro as the girl turned out to be both the love of my life and an alcoholic with possible borderline personality disorder.
Damn my natural chivalry (another Frasier paraphrase)

The Twitter left are now talking about boycotting Disney over Fallon’s canceling. All rather funny.
It's not funny; it's an appalling fracturing of society which means that people will be ever more esconsced in their bubbles.
Don’t disagree, but the left have bought this on themselves with their reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and their decade of supporting cancel culture they now think is abhorrent when it gets one of their own.

Yes. And so do you if you are following the story
No, educate me please. (seriously, I don't follow America closely - I think they're fairly hideous - but from what I've read on here, the shooter is most likely from the Left (happy to stand corrected once the TRUTH comes out))

Yes, there are double standards all round, but at least the American Left had the good grace not to send sodding JD Vance over to us to pile on the free-speech pieties.
Putting claims of a potential future where AI will take all our jobs, one thing is clear today, huge capital investments today don't necessarily lead to huge number of new jobs. This much touted US / UK deal for data centres, £150bn is by their own docs estimated will generate a total of 7500 new jobs. £20 million / job.
If anybody has seen Silicon valley, that is unfortunately the reality of massive data centres. They only need a few mole people to run them.
7,500 jobs directly for sure. Expanding our available processing power locally in the country will, hopefully, help our tech industry to keep growing ahead of the rest of Europe. For each of those direct roles we need to generate a further 10-20 roles indirectly. I'm not sure how that can be achieved but the industry and government need to figure it out.
I genuinely hope that will occur. UK universities are massively under powered when it comes to GPU compute and it hampering their ability to do SOTA research.
I still can't work out why in gods name the government cancelled the super computer in Edinburgh. We were going to be only the 3rd country in the world to have this type of specialist compute for doing advanced science, and other 2 being US and China, who nobody wants to deal with at the moment. Not only drive local R&D, but so many other countries academics would want to have collaborated.
Obviously the worry is that they just become giant buckets that are the delivery mechanism for US Big Tech to serve up their LLMs / Foundation Models.
TBF they reinstated the Edinburgh thing - except it messed up the uni's plans and lost a whole year or so. I'm not familiar enough with the details to say if there are any other issues.
So they have...quite a U-Turn...
Sir Keir Starmer pulled the plug on an £800 million University of Edinburgh supercomputer because it made “little strategic sense” a UK government source has said. The unnamed figure told the Financial Times that the project was too focused on “traditional computing projects such as scientific simulations” rather than artificial intelligence. Edinburgh’s exascale supercomputer was one of a number of projects quietly ditched by the new Labour at the start of the month.
9 months later...
This is a landmark moment and will place Scotland at the forefront of the UK's technological revolution. The £750 million investment in Edinburgh's new supercomputer places Scotland at the cutting edge of computing power globally.
I am presuming the paper pushers didn't understand what the supercomputer would do, its not "AI"....As I said, I know people who have dealt with the Peter Kyle and they said clueless about AI / ML beyond producing buzz word salad.
It does seem to have been watered down but IANAscriptjockey. NB the uini had actually built the facility ...
Never mind - Mr Murray MP for Red Morningside (who must have been utterly horrified at the cancellation) did get to claim credit for the U-turn of the U-turn in the rows over his de-cabinetization by SKS recedntly.
The funding the building was part of the deal the previous government did with the uni. Build the special building and we will buy you the computer to put in it. It cost £30m and specifically designed for this use case.
----
One word conspicuous by its absence in the official announcement was "exascale." The previously announced supercomputer was expected to hit this performance level of a billion billion (1018) floating point calculations per second (FLOPS).
Professor Mark Parsons, director of EPCC (formerly the Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre) at the University of Edinburgh, told us: "We're no longer calling this the exascale system – that moment has passed."
-----
Brilliant so they nerfed it. Great work, cancel a project, waste a year, bring it back for the same cost but inferior power (and the exascale is what was required). Shakes head.
Exascale if very 2023. Huawei are talking about building million node ZetaFLOPS class systems. You might need another zero, or even two, added to the budget in order to keep up with the Joneses.

Corbyn has been removed as a person with significant control of YourParty at Companies House. The coup is couping
Removed - by his own hand? Or someone else?
He's still a director.
Dunno, there's links online to the company's house entry saying hes been removed as a person with significant control (on 15 Sep apparently so maybe not due to today)

I don't think we can really trust what law enforcement say about such things these days. Certainly the so-called Discord chat leaks sound like they were written by people several decades older than the accused and his partner.

The only person condemning “hate speech” is Pam Bondi, and she’s getting roasted by her own side in response. That phrase is a construct of the left designed to think that freedom of speech has tighter limits under US law than it actually does.
"There are two economies in the U.S. right now, and they are moving in different directions ... In August, annual wage and salary growth fell to 0.9% for the bottom third, the smallest gain since 2016 ... The top third saw growth of 3.6% year over year, the most since November 2021."

Worse, I think. They’ve already done lots that has disillusioned conservatives in recent years. Disillusioning all the liberals too would put them on very rocky ground indeed.
Some may be surprised to read this but the State visit, despite all the dangers, was a success in terms of feeding Trump's ego and Starmer emerged without any real damage largely because he cut short the press conference
The way he fawns over Starmer is cringe worthy but I would expect the EU is looking on with some envy
The tech deal has loads of questions as has already been discussed and clearly Starmer is out of step with Trump on Gaza
Still for now I would give Starmer the credit on the last few days but whether the public will or we will see any improvement in his ratings time will tell
Certainly this was not a 'Falklands moment' but it could have gone much worse for him
Big Ange was smashing it at her main job of building all them homes...
The number of planning approvals for new homes in England is unacceptable, the new housing secretary has said, after official data showed permission for building homes fell to a record low during Labour's first year in office.
Fewer than 29,000 projects were granted permission by councils in the year ending June 2025 - striking a blow to the government's promise to deliver 1.5 million homes by the next election. About 7,000 applications for housing were granted permission between April and June 2025 - the lowest three-month figure since records began in 1979
Just 19 newly built private homes were sold across the whole of London in May according to the latest data from the Land Registry. In the latest sign of the capital’s housing crisis under Sir Sadiq Khan, the monthly sales figures were the lowest on record. They were down from 23 sales in April and reflected a 95pc drop compared to May in 2024 when 352 flats and houses were sold.
At the same time, planning approvals in the capital have fallen by 2pc in the 12 months to June – the lowest total since records began in 2006. Figures from the Greater London Authority revealed last month that construction started on just 347 affordable homes between April and June this year.

Councils in England spend about £3bn on temporary accommodation in England in the last year. It's doubled in the last 5 so homes are needed. But the picture is somewhat clouded by the churn in rented property as landlords seek to remove unsuitable* tenants. The forthcoming Renters Rights Bill will change the landscape again with a more settled population and less chasing properties.

More like the Falklands moment when General Galtieri took Port Stanley?
It was absolutely awful. Starmer was particularly vomit inducing. Although a decent film editor could have made Trump look fantastic, although the event would be 75% shorter.
I suspect it harms Starmer even more than his impressive worst ratings ever statistics.
The media are also furious that Starmer viciously black balled Trump's bestie and Prime Minister in Waiting, Sir Nigel Farage.

O/T but interesting - some Usonian firm trying to bring ekranoplans (or at least surface effect craft) to Scottish island ferry routes.
Obvious issue: will not replace cargo routes.
Another obvioujs issue: operation will depend very much on sea state, for takeoff and landing. (I did wonder a little if the firm is thinking West Indies and not quite realising the local weather?)
Unless it's a fine weather operation to cream off the tourist revenue?

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.
The Twitter left are now talking about boycotting Disney over Fallon’s canceling. All rather funny.
It's not funny; it's an appalling fracturing of society which means that people will be ever more esconsced in their bubbles.
Don’t disagree, but the left have bought this on themselves with their reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and their decade of supporting cancel culture they now think is abhorrent when it gets one of their own.
LEFT THEN: That's outrageous! De-platform now! LEFT NOW: No, not our guy! FREE SPEECH!
RIGHT THEN: First amendment is sacrosanct! Suck it up, snowflakes! RIGHT NOW: That's outrageous! Cancel time!
Yes, there are double standards all round, but at least the American Left had the good grace not to send sodding JD Vance over to us to pile on the free-speech pieties.
Relatedly, there’s an article in the most recent Private Eye which is clearly stenography for Helen Lewis but contains some points of interest nonetheless. The topic was the recent police interest in Graham Linehan & what’s driving those investigations / prosecutions. According to her, these are all happening because one or two trans rights activists have discovered that they can browbeat the police into investigating & prosecuting social media statements by threatening them with judicial reviews of their decisions if they fail to investigate or subsequently drop the case as being not of public interest.
If activists of all stripes have discovered this trick it might well explain why the police seem to be perpetually chasing after hot button topics whilst ignoring bread & butter policing - especially if the prospect of a judicial review weighs heavily on an officer’s career prospects (which it well might, although I have no insight here).

Some may be surprised to read this but the State visit, despite all the dangers, was a success in terms of feeding Trump's ego and Starmer emerged without any real damage largely because he cut short the press conference
The way he fawns over Starmer is cringe worthy but I would expect the EU is looking on with some envy
The tech deal has loads of questions as has already been discussed and clearly Starmer is out of step with Trump on Gaza
Still for now I would give Starmer the credit on the last few days but whether the public will or we will see any improvement in his ratings time will tell
Certainly this was not a 'Falklands moment' but it could have gone much worse for him
I agree.
Nothing there that will harm Starmer. A better couple of days for him, after the weeks of bad publicity.

Big Ange was smashing it at her main job of building all them homes...
The number of planning approvals for new homes in England is unacceptable, the new housing secretary has said, after official data showed permission for building homes fell to a record low during Labour's first year in office.
Fewer than 29,000 projects were granted permission by councils in the year ending June 2025 - striking a blow to the government's promise to deliver 1.5 million homes by the next election. About 7,000 applications for housing were granted permission between April and June 2025 - the lowest three-month figure since records began in 1979
O/T but interesting - some Usonian firm trying to bring ekranoplans (or at least surface effect craft) to Scottish island ferry routes.
Obvious issue: will not replace cargo routes.
Another obvioujs issue: operation will depend very much on sea state, for takeoff and landing. (I did wonder a little if the firm is thinking West Indies and not quite realising the local weather?)
Unless it's a fine weather operation to cream off the tourist revenue?
I think we are back to the Not Proven conversation.
It is claimed to be able to "fly over 13ft waves", which is Sea State 5. And 5 ft waves as a hydrofoil.
I'd plump that that will be more like Sea State 4 for caution and safety.

Now that is what I call an effective holding reply .
Just 19 newly built private homes were sold across the whole of London in May according to the latest data from the Land Registry. In the latest sign of the capital’s housing crisis under Sir Sadiq Khan, the monthly sales figures were the lowest on record. They were down from 23 sales in April and reflected a 95pc drop compared to May in 2024 when 352 flats and houses were sold.
At the same time, planning approvals in the capital have fallen by 2pc in the 12 months to June – the lowest total since records began in 2006. Figures from the Greater London Authority revealed last month that construction started on just 347 affordable homes between April and June this year.

The moment you choose a side to blame, then you become part of the problem.
Well one side has spent the last week holding silent vigils and prayers, and the other side has spent the last week encouraging more violence. Those trying to “Both Sides” this are the problem.
When one side is calling for freedom of speech, and the other side is shooting dead the guy wanting to have a debate…
Your side is not calling for freedom of speech. It is calling got control of speech. They want their voices to be heard, and no-one else's.
Another example are Trump's reported words as he got on his plane, as reported immediately below.

I see that it can take 1200kg of cargo - if the passengers are hoofed, and the configuration is redoable.
So vehicles except presumably folding bicycles. So I approve of that.

It should be quite simple. After the startling fiasco that was Glen Sannox, they should only buy utterly tried-and-tested technology. If a company wants 'trials', then they should pay the Scottish government to be part of the trials. I fear the opposite will happen, and this new company will gets oodles of taxpayer chase to 'perfect' their technology.
I might be missing something, but the bloke that's been cancelled was spreading fake news was he not? Or, at the very least, speculating on the motive of the killer which I don't think has been confirmed one way or another.
How is that any different from half the entire US population ?

Yep, this is the president and his administration stomping all over their precious first amendment. It's just a small step from them doing similar with their equally precious second one. The inalienable right to carry guns for people who can be trusted with them, ie Maga Republicans.
Karie Murphy being involved in another "Great Collapsing Hrung" * disaster is interesting.
Is anyone else from the McClusterfuck set around?
* That is a generic collapse with no apparent cause. Who is Ix?
The Great Collapsing Hrung Disaster of Gal./Sid./Year 03758 which wiped out all the old Praxibetel communities on Betelgeuse VII is shrouded in deep mystery; in fact, no one ever knew what a Hrung was nor why it had chosen to collapse on Betelgeuse VII particularly.
Ford Prefect's father/uncle was the only man on the entire planet to survive the Great Collapsing Hrung disaster, by an extraordinary coincidence that he was never able satisfactorily to explain, a lack which led to considerable social embarrassment. Ford's Betelgeusian nickname, Ix, was based on this fact. https://hitchhikers.fandom.com/wiki/Great_Collapsing_Hrung_Disaster
Those willing to pay the £55 membership fee presumably those rich enough to be socialists
Labour Party standard rate is £70.50, so is clearly for richer socialists.
If I'd paid £55 to join Your Party today, I'd be a bit worried about where the money's going. I've been delving a bit, and it's absolutely chaotic, as well as acrimonious.
It's not often a political party splits asunder before it's even been formed.
Reform membership by contrast is £25 a year. The Tories £39, the LDs £15, the SNP just £12, the Greens an astonishing £60

Should probably be “licenses (sic)”, to acknowledge the American regional dialect.
Currently, Reform lead Labour by 31% to 21%, with the Greens on 10%.
I can see half that Green vote going over to Labour, on polling day, but I can't see any reason why the Reform vote will shift back to the Conservatives.
Someone like Cleverly could probably get back Sunak 2024 voters who have since gone Reform

Corbyn will be the winner. He has the other 4 independent MPs on his side and he has the name recognition (on the previous thread 61% didn't know about her)

Silly old buffer is getting everything he deserves for dithering
It was a deliberate lie, and was likely to be censured by the US broadcasting authorities.
That's the whole point.
They pulled him because the regime was not happy with it.
He’s 76 years of age and I suspect he fancied his last few years in Parliament to consist of going back to speaking at protests rather than mounting some great comeback (involving lots of organisation and teamwork).
The fact is that Sultana et al have calculated that the only way of getting this outfit off the ground is to use Corbyn’s name and profile.
He's still a director.
Two wrongs do not make a right.
Taking responsibility for one’s own actions.
Free speech.
The rule of law.
Fighting fascism.
I’m sure others have their favourites.
When one side is calling for freedom of speech, and the other side is shooting dead the guy wanting to have a debate…
Anyway, Kirk's death was a glorious opportunity for MAGA to launch an authoritarian crackdown and they haven't passed this up. Love it when they condemn "hate speech" in the name of a man who declared there to be no such thing as "hate speech"
Ownership of voting rights - 75% or more
Right to appoint or remove directors
So it was apparently originally set up as a proprietary vehicle for Jezza, pretty much like Farage and Brexit/Reform
Not really a way to run a grassroots left/fruit & nut party

It was absolutely awful. Starmer was particularly vomit inducing. Although a decent film editor could have made Trump look fantastic, although the event would be 75% shorter.
I suspect it harms Starmer even more than his impressive worst ratings ever statistics.
The media are also furious that Starmer viciously black balled Trump's bestie and Prime Minister in Waiting, Sir Nigel Farage.
