NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine.

My latest @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/ice-is...
Early planning documents reviewed by WIRED describe a statewide transport grid designed for steady detainee transfers across Texas, with ICE estimating each trip to average 100 miles. Every county would have its own small, around-the-clock team of contractors collecting immigrants from local authorities deputized by ICE. It is a subtle transfer of the physical custody process into the hands of a private security firm—authorized to carry firearms and perform transport duties “in any and all local, county, state, and ICE locations.”

"When I wrote about the economic realities of the U.S. shale industry finances in 2019 I didn’t even consider the fact that we could be facing an oil glut in 2025 because of the rapid take off of EVs. Even so, it was possible to see the bleak future for the industry. And now it is here."

5.5m British Citizens are living abroad, it's estimated that more than 95% of them cannot speak any language other than English.

More than 50% of them are living in non-English speaking countries

If our measures were put on us, 3 million British immigrants would be coming home

Kurt Vonnegut man
Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope: "Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is — we're here on Earth to fart around And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."

Genuinely laughing at the idea that any business will engage in an expensive multi-year effort to move factories to the U.S. based on an economic policy that changes every week based on how many mean tweets the president just read.

I've really enjoyed reading this "workography" by Kees van Deemter, whom I've never met but who has had a long career in NLP. Lots of storytelling and reflections on research, moving between institutions and countries, finding mentors, choosing between academia and industry, and more.
One of the lessons that I’ve learnt from my work-related travel is that researchers across the globe are incredibly similar in their knowledge, skills, manner of working, and general outlook. Suppose you board a plane on your way to a conference and you land in a foreign country where, at first sight, everything appears to be different. Then, once you’ve managed to find the venue, you enter a room, and you start interacting with the people in it. Suddenly everything is familiar. Because, regardless of where they are from, the people in the room have read the same research papers as you, and they’ve had a very similar education. It’s almost – well, almost – as if you’d never left your home. Over the years, I’ve found that the humble learn quickly. With hindsight, at this stage of my career, I was not humble enough: I believed, quite absolutely, in the skills I had learnt in Amsterdam, and it took me a long time to absorb the skills of my new colleagues. For example, IPO was full of people who excelled in experimental design and hypothesis testing. I should have learnt from them, but I only started making an effort after a number of years. It’s a gap in my knowledge that I’ve only much later been able to plug. Another source of insight was the director of the IPO, Herman Bouma, who led the Institute in exemplary fashion. Sometimes he found opportunities to teach us some lessons, for instance in his meetings with IPO’s workers’ union, which I chaired for a few years. Here is one such lesson (reproduced as faithfully as memory allows): When you’re young, you should work to improve in your areas of weakness; when you’re older, you should do the things you’re good at. – Maybe now, at 68, is a good time for me to finally take the second part of this lesson to heart.
