    Why do you believe that "Section 230 differentiates between publishers and platforms"?

    Thanks for sharing. After digging in, it appears that something very similar happened here, after all. It looks like an access key with admin role leaked some time ago. At first, t…

    These were accounts that shouldn't have had console access in the first place, and were never used by humans to log in AFAICT. I don't know exactly what they were originally for, b…

    I would normally say that "That must be a coincidence", but I had a client account compromise as well. And it was very strange: Client was a small org, and two very old IAM account…

    I find your public road network analogy interesting. Should your car require you to prove your age before it will start? How else can we protect your kid (and others) from the dang…

    Isn't strident opposition to "neo-Marxist philosophy" actually highly correlated with weird/reactionary ethno-nationalism?

    I think there's diminishing returns. A broad, liberal arts, undergraduate education develops critical thinking and reading skills in a zero-to-one kind of way. Once you've attained…

    I don't get your strong objection. A 1.0 release that is fit for use by >80% of the addressable market, and gets high marks from those users is a "boondoggle"? Perhaps you overesti…

    You can use Caddy's CertMagic library in your own server, if you want something super-lightweight.

    Structuring (splitting up cash deposits to a bank so that they don't trigger the bank to file a CTR) comes to mind. It does have a mens rea component, but the money being entirely …

    Monopoly concerns are better addressed by going after monopolies for being anticompetitive. Intermediary liability seems pretty orthogonal to competition concerns. I would need a l…

    That thinking strikes me as "clear, simple, and wrong". (I appreciate that 230's bright-line rule may also be clear, simple and wrong) Consider defamation. Often, the difference be…

    The idea that there's an indistinct difference between "publisher" and "common carrier" doesn't seem right. Google or Facebook are not, and have never been, common carriers. The en…

    The "idea that these providers are simply neutral carriers of content" is a false premise, isn't it? The piece you link is ... weird. First, it doesn't really describe the problem …

    How do those people feel about wearing pants at the point of a gun?

    Is this person a lawful agent of a legitimate government? Is the ice cream policy reasonably connected to some compelling government interest, like public health?

    Lower costs for everyone. Including people you don't like. Yes.

    I'm not understanding how two staircases are more accessible than one. Can you elaborate?

    Of the half that are dark, how many are working late, out to dinner, out of town, etc? That half the units are dark from 7-9PM doesn't mean they're not someone's primary residence.…
