I have heard the same...but I honestly think that is a 'here lets not try' more so than a 'we wouldn't make use of it'. Totally agree with you on the rest. What is interesting is the admins now finding that those sa

just for those less familiar, it may be useful to note that the shift towards federal funds is typically linked to decreases in local funding for higher education. It isn't 'organic' there has been an outside forcing function

they should only collect it themselves amiright? This was the least expensive and most responsible way to conduct this study. What alternative would you provide? Just not doing it?

What matters isn’t the size of the gap, what matters is the size of the gap relative to the size of the gap it was designed for. If I design a 10” Diam part to be assembled to another with a .001” gap, then a .010 gap is huge. If it’s a 1

I'm not missing the heart of anything. If you want to talk about free speech, talk about free speech. If you want to talk about the first amendment, talk about the first amendment. If you want to talk about something else - label and d

Twitter is not the government. They are a corporation. Anything they choose to censor (or not) is perfectly in line with the first amendment.

Part of that legitimate discussion would necessarily include whether people are using abusing the term. The fact that real things happen doesn’t make using the same term to describe not real things happening acceptable. I can’t call out of

You just described it? The problem, as usual, being that you are trying to describe something with a term where the common usage is just plain bad faith. Unfairly attacked? Harassed? There’s lots of words…the common usage of cancelling is n

The fact that the comment you are responding to seems to represent a mainstream and legitimized perception of twitter and the broader concept of free speech gives me zero confidence that we are headed towards more free speech. I'm cons

the innate value of Twitter is that it is open to the public and the interaction basically drives (sadly) a lot of public discourse. Look at the trump presidency for just...rife examples of this but the phenomenon occurred before and after.
