'The Observer view on Pope Francis’s comments on a world at war' is a solid read, using facts and figures to point out that 'the West's' awareness of violence is up, but violence here is down. Our perception of the world being a scarier and more dangerous place has more to do with the news cycle than reality. That's a timely reminder.

This brief article notes that autonomous home and road-use (vehicular) robots have an extensive range of needs to help them navigate the environment. This could play out into conflicting ways: first off, homes and roads may be designed not for human comfort, but for the effective functioning of robots. Next, the same environment may be purposely designed to fool those robots should they become a threat, such as during times of war.

Either way, the needs of robots will be considered in both interior and other environmental design projects going forward.

The difference between the makeup of the intern populations between the two major US political parties is truly striking. I'm a Green, but want to note that this image from the Dems makes me smile. #usa
