Telecoms, media and randomness. Plus some ultrarunning. Opinions are my own, but don't let that stop you having them too.

@charlesjkenny Not over yet. Come to the Sheldonian, will be wild. (The Public Orator just has to have the courage to do the right thing)

@MarethBrian Ok, we shall name this the Alfie test, in honour of the dog
English
@Rob_Kenny_ This should be part of the Turing test. ChatGPT pointed to the possibility (5 below) after I rejected smoke alarm, but did not reason in one shot given I told it the dog was going from room to room too.

@benfenton The fact that Pimms drinkers are nationally representative is the biggest surprise here
English
Forget champagne socialism, Labour's biggest support comes from those whose favourite drink is the alcopop VK - and they do pretty well among Pimms drinkers too.

@Reached @cjayanetti The thing is, it isn’t now material tax avoidance. A decade ago it was one of the things that made it possible for me to go independent. There was a worthwhile tax saving so I could risk lower income. Today, after all the changes to div taxes, it’s fairly marginal.

Sanity is threatening to make an appearance after the election:

@cjayanetti @Reached I agree double taxation in itself isn’t an issue. But particularly for small biz owners there is the choice of income tax+NI or corp tax + div tax. If you increase div tax by much, these business will simply switch to drawing money via salary, and you may not raise much
English
@Reached "double taxation" is one of the arguments I'm least sympathetic to in the whole spectrum of taxation

Last year, if you'd have told me I'd be the next @oxpip Joint CEO, I might not have believed it. But this year, I'm looking forward to another lovely evening at the opera with colleagues and supporters. Don't forget your candles and picnic!

Dr Karen Bateson@KarenJBateson
My first ever time at the opera tonight. The venue was New College Oxford, with a candlelit picnic in the Cloisters. What a treat. Magical. Plus funds raised for @oxpip. I’ll be back next year.

@charlesjkenny Chinese predatory pricing for EV & solar = Chinese tax payer subsidies US transition to low carbon economy

US Climate community: please explain to the Biden administration why this is a mistake.
President Biden Archived@POTUS46Archive
I just imposed a series of tariffs on goods made in China: 25% on steel and aluminum, 50% on semiconductors, 100% on EVs, And 50% on solar panels. China is determined to dominate these industries. I'm determined to ensure America leads the world in them.

@rorysutherland [I see this point has already been made under the original tweet]
English
@rorysutherland Except the question was which is the most likely next sentence. I think ChatGPT is right with its guess at the next sentence - it clearly understands how widespread this fallacy is!

@BethRigby For further context, those 6.4% in private schools get 23.1% of A*A*A or better A-level grades (though that still leaves a gap to the 32% of Oxford places they get)

Agree with @kateferguson4 this is a good thing, but what about this? > “State school pupils took 72.9 per cent of Cambridge’s domestic student intake in 2022, up from 71.6 per cent the previous year, but Oxford’s has stalled at 68.1 per cent. Cambridge rejected almost 7,000 pupils in 2022 who went on to achieve at least A*AA at A-level”🧐
