Hard not to admire the ingenious mischief behind the digital rebirth of @ScotRail
The beautiful unmanned West Highland line station Tulloch has discarded all analogue information and now boasts a handy QR code. One problem. There is no mobile coverage of any kind. Genius.
Who Invented AI? I Did!

As my friend David Schutten just reminded me, your favorite Simpsons writer is also a tremendous inventor. This article appeared in the Dec. 1982 issue of Playboy. It's the true birth of AI. Too late to get a prize?

I get very annoyed about the bunk science of nutrition and life expectancy. It's simply not true that every drink or cheeseburger lowers your life expectancy. It only does this, in as much as it does this, at the level of averages. But even with a very strong effect a significant number of people will be eating and drinking merrily with no difference to life span.
Imagine genuinely being outraged by this.
If your eyesight is failing and your reactions are slowing, as a natural consequence of ageing, yes you should absolutely be forced into retaking your test.
If you're mad that you'd fail, you shouldn't be on the road anyway.
