Comment on Crocodile Dundee was sexist, racist and homophobic. Let’s not bring that back by Paul Hogan (just kidding)

I must admit, I had not looked at the character in this light before. The light hearted humour takes away from what you are saying and upon reflection, after years of loving the movies and the character. I have to agree with you. I wonder if a movie like Croc Dundee was released today, how it would go down with modern audiences.

Comment on UK’s biggest solar farm planned for Kent coast by Lut

This “farm” is in the wrong place. There is no need to destroy the countryside, thrash the wildlife, erase the landscape and the heritage of this part of Kent, for profit. The village already has the substation for the world’s largest wind farm, there are plenty of suitable places elsewhere!!!

Comment on Yes, we can teach our children about technology, but let’s just ban phones in school by Susan Merrick

I was wondering where the information on the number of times an adult touches their phone comes from: “the average adult smartphone user touches their phone more than 2,600 times a day”

Comment on The Brexit whistleblower: ‘Did Vote Leave use me? Was I naive?’ by jC

TREASON – there is no other description for their utterly underhand manipulation of the truth and peoples personal data – fears and hopes – in order to feed sychophantic facts to a chosen vulnerable few, corrupting the real discussion and the real situation and overthrowing legitimate opposition at all costs, in order to take control for themselves and their own purposes. They have undermined democracy in the UK /USA and other countries around the world and I wouldn’t trust a word they said in their defense. The truth always comes out in the end and they should all have every single thing they have done or twisted, thrown right back at every single one of them, including the corrupt politicians/egos involved who used them for their own advantage – every single one of them – TREASON!

Comment on Sadiq Khan is searching for London’s first digital guru – but what will they do? by Jos

Great opportunity for London if the various functions and roles can be combined around this, and authority is given to make things happen.

Iris scanning has a long history of being fooled – by photographs or printed contact lenses – see https://www.google.com/patents/WO2001001329A1
which dates back to 1999!

Comment on Do androids dream of aesthetic creep? Hail the robots of post-human art by louise Ashcroft

louise Ashcroft — Tue, 19 Jul 2016 02:35:57 +0000

I’d appreciate truly understanding the meaning of the title—could you explain what the term “aesthetic creep” means? Is this an art reference I have missed or a lyric that I missed? Or just an infuriatingly meaningless expression with enough ambiguity to make me write?

Thank you.

Louise Ashcroft
