Yes, a lot of potentially beneficial government policies run the risk of empowering bad actors if control of the government ever falls to them. And, yes, if we accept this as an argument to not do things then we will often get nothing done.

"an authoritarian regime will use everything at its disposal to do authoritarianism, therefore we should never do anything that could give it such tools" is incidentally an argument for never using public policy full stop

There's a lot of things I won't get over from the past decade, but people's willingness to try to memory hole the extremely deadly pandemic we all lived through and killed actual people, on their watch and partly because of their idiocy, is high on that list.

Pleased to announce that the 3rd Edition of my open-access information privacy law casebook is now available! Download it for free at www.privacycasebook.com. You can find a model syllabus and last year's slides on the website. Adds Chatrie and the 9th Circuit's decision in NetChoice v Bonata.

Cover of the described information privacy law casebook, featuring a giant all-seeing eye.

I independently read this as a "lol, we can do (almost) anything" provision. Is the discretionary and standardless suspension of discipline a problem? Yes. Is it within the "rules" established by FIFA? Also yes.

Anna Bower@annabower.bsky.social · last mo.

here's the relevant “lol we can do whatever we want” clause as you can see, it's broadly applicable. sub-section 4 only excludes one category of disciplinary measures—those stemming from match manipulation—from its scope. that's not relevant to the Balogun case

Wait, hold up, I'm sorry - the actual data supporting the conclusions of your 'academia is politicized and not data-based enough' report may or may not be published at some point? Proof is for the peasants at public universities, I guess.

Len Gutkin: One of the criticisms that you’ve gotten is that the report offers conclusions, but the bulk of the evidence is buried in the “detailed internal reports” that were compiled but which haven’t been published or released. Will they be published? Appiah: The decision was made to allow the authors of those internal reports to decide whether or not to make them public. They were the basis of our deliberation. I will make mine, which is about literary criticism, public at some point, and I think others will. But on the whole, I think it was right to do it the way we have, because we need people to think about the main conclusions and the main arguments, which are in this document.

wow, just…wow This reminds me of that scene in The Big Short when Steve Eisman asks, “Why are they confessing?” and Vinny Daniel says, “They’re not. They’re bragging.”

This article isn't about Wurman, Barnett, or Epstein. It is not for the Supreme Court. This is for the preservation of knowledge and better public education. With that mission in mind, I hope y'all share this and download it. And that said, when you read my piece, here's what their work does wrong:

Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, out-of-state entities have used every tool to punish women who have accessed abortions. The Reproductive Health Records Privacy Act is the most recent action Illinois is taking to ensure patients retain full control over their health information.

Sonyon, Saint of inventors, technicians, and artificers. That you pray to for a flash of something extraordinary to change the world. That your invention will work and not kill you in the process. That no one uses what you've made for terrible things. #myart #dnd #d&d

A digital illustration of the stained glass shrine to the fictional patron saint of techs, inventors and artificers, Sonyon, from my D&D campaign. Set into cracked red stone, the arched window shows a man with a mechanical prosthetic leg stepping up, holding a large wrench aloft. It’s both triumphant and feels like a prayer. His head is haloed by the green rays of the lighthouse his legend says he built. With his other hand, he pulls his chest open, revealing a series of gears. Behind him are circles depicting mechanical blueprint drawings. In the back are the buildings a desert city in front of a red wall and purple mountains. Below the window in the stone the word “Sonyon” is carved in a fictional language.
