No! Really? Smart displays? With speakers? Running Google Assistant? Available soon? For USD200-300? Amazing!

Even more amazing is that I'm holding one right now, though mine is simply called a "tablet". I also have another, smaller and older one, without Assistant, but still able to provide music (connected to an amplifier) and other information at command. So, I think I will pass on these...

There is enough money to spend on ever expensive weaponry that often doesn't even work. There is enough money to allow banks not to pay their fines, enough to give people who already have more money than they could ever spend tax cuts. There is enough money to wage war in several countries at a time.

But there is no money to do anything about this.

The article is behind a paywall (or at least requires registration), so don't bother. What I found highly amusing is the secondary headline:

Those who want to reverse Brexit are without a leader, a strategy or awareness that voters haven’t changed their minds

IMHO he was almost right, only two small corrections are necessary:

Those who want to continue Brexit are without a leader, a strategy or awareness that voters have changed their minds

Now it makes sense.
