“‘This looks absolutely rubbish’”

Peter Geoghegan and Lucas Amin on Palantir and the NHS in The London Review of Books

“In recent months the investigative newsletter Democracy for Sale, where we both work, has been looking into Palantir’s business in the UK, and particularly its contracts with the NHS. We have obtained scores of internal documents and spoken to sources who have worked with Palantir, its suppliers and its software. Behind the company’s bombastic self-image, we found there was often a much more prosaic reality: problems with software, pressure from management, staff resistance, but also an unrivalled level of political access”

Q: Does “evil genius” Palantir’s NHS software actually work?

A: Apparently it’s “absolutely rubbish”

"’It's just a waste of time’: inside Palantir's £330m NHS failure”

by Peter Geoghegan and Lucas Amin in Democracy For Sale on Substack

“Palantir has been dubbed the world’s scariest company. Trump’s favourite tech firm provides surveillance software to ICE, the Pentagon and the Israeli ministry of defence. Peter Thiel and Alex Karp talk excitedly of AI drone-driven warfare.

No wonder Andy Burnham is already facing calls to end Palantir’s controversial £330m contract to build the NHS’s Federated Data Platform (#FDP)”

Just to add a little more fuel to this particularly beautiful fire:

“Letter reveals teacher branded Ukip leader Nigel Farage a 'fascist' and 'racist' when he was a schoolboy”

by Sam Masters in The Independent (19 Sept 2023)

“Plans to appoint Mr Farage as a prefect at Dulwich College were bitterly opposed”

In 1913, Henry Moseley created the first atomic battery, using radium to generate electricity. #Poetry #Science #History #Electromagnetism #AtomicBattery #Moseley (https://sharpgiving.com/thebookofscience/items/p1913d.html)

In 1803 #JohnDalton used the Laws of #Chemistry to propose the modern #AtomicTheory. It marks the birth of #QuantumTheory. (Dalton quantized mass a century before #MaxPlanck quantized energy.)

In 1914, #HenryMoseley used the X-ray emmisions of atoms to propose the quantization of #AtomicStructure.

Sadly, #Moseley was killed by a sniper a year later in the Battle of #Gallipoli in #Turkey. https://theconversation.com/how-science-lost-one-of-its-greatest-minds-in-the-trenches-of-gallipoli-45890

With Ms. #Alsobrooks’s come-from-behind victory in Tuesday’s primary, voters in November will most likely have the chance to double the number of Black women ever elected to the Senate.

Another Democrat, Representative Lisa Blunt #Rochester, is the odds-on favorite to win her party’s nomination in September for an open Senate seat in heavily Democratic Delaware.

If both win in November, for the first time, two Black women will serve in Congress’s upper chamber at the same time.

“It’s been a long time coming,” said Ms. #Moseley #Braun, who became the first Black female senator when she was elected from Illinois in 1992 and now serves as chairwoman of the United States African Development Foundation.

The second, from California, is now the vice president, Kamala #Harris.
A third, Laphonza #Butler, Democrat of California, was appointed to fill a vacant seat, but is not running for re-election

There’s a pet parrot missing in my local area, which is obviously sad, but the Facebook post is well-written and includes a delightful description of him and the sort of things he says. Hope they are soon reunited!
