Highly qualified friend (Harvard JD, 8 YOE in corporate law) thinks that ~60% of the junior level work is pretty easily automated and has quit his fancy role to explore that space If you’re in the legal AI scene in London and want someone fresh from the industry DM me

@NathanpmYoung I think the utility calculations are different for dairy derived meat but still OK. Arguably worse, but much longer lives, and orders of magnitude higher food output. Similarly sinful as drinking milk.

I deleted my earlier tweet about this, but British suckler beef is probably net positive for the cows. This seems much trickier to tell, though claude gives a set of heuristics. Some evidence for the full vegan position (that it's hard to actually end up positive)

Can anyone explain to me why we don’t have ethical meat? Surely we can give the farm animal a significantly better life than it would have lived in the wild.

@DeepDishEnjoyer @Biggiethelad1 IMO, there was a slow build of dislike from your ‘sneer’ posting style over months and months, and the fuse of you breaking a minor norm opened a channel for many to legitimately complain about you. Hence why it seems disproportionate.

@BernoulliDefect @Benthamsbulldog Out of interest have you read much of the modern debate on the political theory of borders? A purely Rawlsian view is not really the mainstream these days AIUI.

@rockets_enjoyer @max_spero_ Yes, though the calculations for food produced per animal are vastly different in that case given they have produced ~40,000 litres of milk by then.

My deeper point is that there’s a bias in the veil of ignorance/generic-lw-empathy view for present tense people, and less room for future persons who would benefit from technological advancements, etc.. The tool just isn’t that useful anymore, despite it being possible to pretzel it to what works now

@BernoulliDefect @Benthamsbulldog If we take it as true that open borders helps some people a lot, but it also causes a lot of problems for lots of people, and the net benefit is negative, then a self-interested person who doesn't know which side of the border they will be born on should not choose open borders.

@NeilDotObrien It arguably shouldn’t even be present in the first place. Other models that house people in need for far cheaper exist and work completely fine.

If you get a 3 bed council house in tower hamlets that saves you over £20,000 a year in rent - this kind of taxpayer subsidy should not automatically be inherited
London Renters Union@LDNRentersUnion

Today, members in Tower Hamlets stopped a family being evicted from their home of 40 years! Housing association Gateway are refusing to pass the tenancy down after the family's parents passed away. Outrageous! We will resist forced displacement every time!

@Finumus1 @peterrhague Simple: regenerative braking and Atkinson cycle engines are a free efficiency lunch. Both not possible in a ICE only setup.

@BernoulliDefect @Benthamsbulldog Rawls would have agreed with this I think. No one reads the 'Laws of Peoples' but it is in large part an explanation of why his theories of distributive justice don't apply globally.

@BernoulliDefect @EggrollShogun Though that's not the reason why they were voted out 4 years ago! Ravi Govindia (previous Tory council leader) identified the main cause in an interview given after the count in 2022. Other causes were reflected in the fact that Putney was the only seat that went Labour in 2019.

Few know of the great vote out of London YIMBY councils over the last decade… Wandsworth’s pro development cons were kicked out in 2022, replaced with a council that push 50% affordable mandates
Lord Raglan@longestdefeat

H&F Labour won control on an explicitly anti-regeneration, NIMBY platform. Tory plans to regenerate local housing estates/derelict land were branded “social cleansing” and cancelled by Labour at great cost to the taxpayer, blocking over 7,000 new homes being built…

@NathanpmYoung @max_spero_ I think that, on balance, having 12-24 months of this life, one day of unpleasant transportation, and a few minutes of the extreme pain of sudden death is morally fine. Good, even. Especially in comparison to the constant hunger and disease of wild animal life.

@BernoulliDefect But the broader idea is very true: what if a doomed government with a large majority stopped being paralysed over their almost certain reelection defeat, and decided to just actually do something?

Counterpoint: Network Rail somehow manages to make even simple stations cost infinity money x.com/slackkejakke/s…
Slackkejakke@slackkejakke

@BernoulliDefect Problem is we already did that with the Northumberland Line. Total cost £300m for 5 new, simple stations like the below on existing line. Cost inflation isn’t a bug, it’s a feature.

Favrholm Station, Denmark. Competed in 2023 for one twentieth of the price (£13m), serving 4 tracks with 3 platforms. Note the tunnel design and lack of massive station buildings Britain could fix its infrastructure bottleneck with cheap stations and upgrade later

Note the triple height entryway, swooping platform shelters, green roof, glass bridges, massive elevators & curved glass. Massive ‘contractor cost’ for little functionality or aesthetic value. £250m for four platforms Compare to…
Philip Haigh@philatrail

Cambridge South station will open on Sunday 28 June, according to the DfT, and will be the first to feature full GBR branding. It has cost over £250m with most of the money coming from taxpayers.
