The US proposes to put an immigration prison in Guantanamo. This is a bad thing to do, and not only for symbolic reasons. The reason Dubya put the torture center and prison there was to take advantage of a legal loophole which reduced the rights that prisoners could claim there.

The same will apply to any immigrants sent there.

We have already seen difficulty in making sure that all unauthorized immigrants get their legal rights even when imprisoned in the US itself. No immigration prison should be in Guantanamo.

Using private contractors to run an immigration prison is also wrong, for similar reasons.

The UK's NHS app uses computerized face recognition. Since it is implemented by private companies, those companies as well as a state agency are involved in the process

The app is also nonfree software, and runs only on nonfree operating systems. Imagining that I lived in Britain, if I were ever tempted to run it, I could not. Which is a good thing, because nonfree programs is generally malware (and so, arguably, is this one).

Salt-tolerant vegetables will allow farmers in some parts of Bangladesh to keep farming a few decades more.

Once the land is underwater a substantial fraction of the year, I think these methods will cease to work.
