@dangillmor The op-ed's complaint seems to be that Signal doesn't gratuitously log everyone's communications content in case law enforcement wants it in the future. But neither does virtually any other real-time communications system - voice telephony, SMS, tin-can-and-string, or conversations in parks. Real-time communication is, by definition, ephemeral, whether encrypted or not.

$TSLA crashing because the company is on autopilot is the most fitting end to 2022 possible

More evidence on the competition-quality relationship. 🎅🏽

Out looking at Christmas lights, these people are off the hook.

Hello Mastodon. I'm a journalist over at @ProPublica where I focus on reporting stories involving data and code. You can check out my recent work at the link below. Drop me a line to discuss investigative reporting, messy datasets, or west coast bike routes. https://www.propublica.org/people/ellis-simani

A front page article on the Washington Post telling people how to get started with Mastodon?

That’s a big deal.

Hey #econtwitter I didn't get my Mastodon handle up on Twitter in time it seems. So I need to make new friends on Mastodon! Looking forward to interacting with you all here!

@paulgp Shameless plug for our R package that makes nice visualizations! https://synth-inference.github.io/synthdid/

My dedicated coworker

#ECON5k run on a glorious winter day near Amherst with @inaganguli and Wenting Ma. Our route went right over the Connecticut River, the dividing line between the eastern and western halves of the United States.

I guess I'd be pissed off too if I spent all that money for a private jet and then found out it didn't actually make me invisible.

Huh, first post. Let's go with a good one! I am quite pleased to announce that my book Ujamaa’s Army: The Creation and Evolution of the Tanzania People’s Defence Force 1964-1979 is now officially under contract with Ohio's War and Militarism in African History series. Look for it in print in 2023!

Just thought that the radiant Rebecca Luker singing “My White Knight” would make a good first real post.
