You've seen the live performance. You've seen the slides. And maybe you've even seen the leaked rough cut that circulated online. So here it is at last: "Anonymity and Identity Online (Taylor's Version)" florianederer.github.io/ejmr.pdf

Trump administration’s emergency motion to stay the reinstatement of @RKSlaughterFTC to @FTC was granted late last night by the DC Circuit within hours of the motion being filed. Slaughter says she’ll continue fighting her illegal firing.

Thinking about this observation from @tylercowen again:
Paris-Bordeaux and Miami-Jacksonville are both approximately 300 miles apart In France, it’s a 2 hour high speed train with 30 departures every day. In Florida, it’s a 10 hour train that comes twice per day. you tell me which one sounds like a “third world” country

There is a bit of mythologizing about how we forced all young people to go to college and now they are economically ruined. Around 60% of people in their 30s do not have a college degree. And the college wage premium remains near a historical high.
Mike Rowe: “We’ve been telling kids for 15 years to learn to code.” “Well, AI is coming for the coders.” “It’s not coming for the welders, the plumbers, the steamfitters, the pipefitters, the HVAC, or the electricians.” “In Aspen, I sat and listened to Larry Fink say we need…
Excited to be heading into the office this am! Top of the to-do list: calling a vote on restoring the Click to Cancel Rule. It’s time the FTC gets back to protecting consumers from real abuses like subscription traps that cost Americans countless hours and millions of dollars.
