Machines aren’t taking over.
Corporations are taking over.
Worry about the right thing.
Born in 1906, computer scientist Grace Hopper invented the first compiler for computer programming language & was among the first programmers of the Harvard Mk1 computer.
Hopper popularized the idea of machine-independent programming languages & paved the way to develop COBOL (an early high-level programming language). She originated the term "bug" to describe computer glitches & became a celebrated Rear Admiral in the US Navy.

On Feb. 11, President Peter Salovey announced that he and the Yale Corporation had voted to change the name of Calhoun College, one of the university's undergraduate residential colleges, to honor alumna Grace Murray Hopper. Grace Brewster Murray Hopper was a computer pioneer and naval officer.
This week, we're going to be asked (a number of times, I expect) who we believe; striking #nurses or #railways staff, or the ministers in charge of trying to negotiate a settlement?
After a decade of revelations of the mendacity fo the #Tories its a no-brainer for me; I wouldn't trust a #Tory minister as far as I could throw them.
When they say they are 'doing all we can' to end the strikes, the answer is that #Tory ministers are very such not doing all they can...
