RIP Albert Uderzo, the man who drew Asterix: when I sorted through my childhood books a few years ago, I found it was impossible to part with any of the Asterix books. They're works of genius. How much the world could use some magic potion now. theguardian.com/books/galler…

The art of Asterix: illustrator Albert Uderzo at work – in pictures

The French comic-book artist created the beloved character Asterix – scourge of the Roman invaders in ancient Gaul – with writer René Goscinny

I'm excited to see this interview with the great Benoit Mandelbrot reappear on Twitter. Thank you. Sadly he passed away a year after this interview. A lovely, courteous man, he did the best job of showing the problems with efficient markets that I have ever heard. Please view.

Time to bin normal distribution thinking. Adios Markowitz. How has the industry been able to carry on so long with its static SAA models, spurious correlations and dodgy vol data? Great @johnauthers interview with Mandelbrot from 2009: youtu.be/vxbxXBrOPS8

These words from Britain's accidental chancellor Rishi Sunak are possibly the most inspiring to come out of the coronavirus scourge so far. Maybe something good can come of this. h/t @paulwaugh

If #CEST is to be an accurate indicator of employment status for #IR35, perhaps it should ask questions like “Do you receive a pension”, “Do you receive sick pay” 😂

More self employment and more businesses will be central to the government's policy of greater prosperity. They could give it an immediate boost by dropping their IR35 proposals.

Yesterday I wrote to the Chancelllor of the Exchequer, asking him to outline when the UK Government's promised review of IR35, which effects many of the constituents of West Aberdeenshire & Kincardine, will take place. Full text of the letter below. #IR35 andrewbowie.org.uk/news/andr…

The #selfemployed aren't just #5millionvotes: they are also vital to the economy, adding £305bn every year - enough to fund the #NHS twice over. To protect them, @Conservatives@UKLabour@LibDemsmust commit to halt #IR35 now.

Delighted to have my #IR35 proposals included in today’s @LibDems Manifesto. We will continue to push to get IR35 replaced with something fit for purpose & will continue to support legitimate Contractors, allowing them to continue to operate via Ltd Companies. 1/2 – at East Ham, London

Ed Davey

Yes, excessive automation at Tesla was a mistake. To be precise, my mistake. Humans are underrated.
