Gotta say, Noel Francisco's "what if China kidnapped Jeff Bezos's kids" hypo from today's TikTok arguments is still ricocheting around my brain. Such a stupid hypo. I'm boggled that it featured so prominently in his arguments.

Very excited to be kicking off three classes next week, including two new ones. They are all interdisciplinary courses at the intersection of law and engineering, bringing together students (grad & undergrad) from various disciplines, in various permutations. 1/

NEW: @gushurwitz.bsky.social replies to Jonathan Masur and @ericposner.bsky.social's article defending the Federal Trade Commission’s Congressional mandate to enforce a rule banning noncompetes. "Legality of the Ban Is Less Certain Than Masur and Posner Suggest" www.promarket.org/2024/06/13/t...

Also, look at that! I posted something here!

Very excited to share my current paper (with @geoffmanne.bsky.social): Pigou's Plumber. It's an exploration of the role of information in the regulatory process, and a call to deliberately model regulation as a discovery process. 1/ t.co/GsSx0oB1fZ

OK Bluesky, this is your chance to convince me you're better than twitter. Just posted the below over there. Let's see which site produces a correct answer first. Feeling pretty stupid here. Given the statement P→Q, what is the term describing ~P→Q in relation to P→Q?

Am I the only person who gets upset when I search for someone I follow on twitter only to find that they're not here (yet)? When that happens, should I blame Bluesky? Or Jack? Or them?

Now I just need the a few API keys and I can aggregate content from several different social networks into a single platform, and multihome all of my posts, and ... wait, I did all of that in 2007. What. is. going. on? Next people are going to be complaining about cable bundles again.

You know who I feel bad for? LinkedIn. Didn't they want to be a social network, too?

One day we will all be talking about the day that Bluesky and Threads happened. We'll probably be talking about it on Twitter. Or in a nursing home. But we'll be talking about it. And that's what matters.

Is this what it was like, being at Woodstock?

I feel bad for all of the mastadon users who now have yet more micro-micro-blogs to join ...

For those who have read all of Dune, this is the Scattering. This is what the Kwisatz Haderach saw and feared bringing about. But also it is what was neccesary for the survival of humankind.

The future will favor those with time to multi-home their microblogs.

*tap* *tap* Is this thing on?
