"Unlawfully scanning license plates"? What does that even mean? Like searching a vehicle database? That's available to all sorts of people, like auto body repair shops. Taking a photo of a license plate? Nothing illegal about

There's been lots of legal writing pointing out these statutes basically refer to impeding an officer by threat or physical force, which that statute you cite states. It doesn't refer to anything about providing food to someone wh

I'm surprised in the sense that it seems a few times we've been exposed to various problems arising from social media manipulation or censorship — of the right and left variety actually — so I'd think people might be more sen

Honestly I'm surprised people don't jump ship more often with social media platforms. With TikTok this is kind of new news, but there have been related problems with it that have been pretty obvious for some time. The same with X

Appeal to Trump Derangement Syndrome is the right's denial of how unstable and unethical he actually is. Time and time again it's been invoked and Trump's critics have been proven correct. Even if Trump never actually invaded

Except articles like this are doing it again, just swinging the pendulum in the opposite direction. The best reading of the cardiovascular literature based on meta-analyses is not that saturated fat is better for you, but that it's

Funny this should come out at the same time as another study suggesting there's no association.

In the article they state "We found that emojis were sent in portal messages to patients aged 70 to 79 years at the second highest rate, after those aged 10 to 19 years" which implies some of this at least is in messages to patien

The betting-voting distinction is interesting and was on my mind while I was reading it. So much of this breaks down when the binary nature of the variables involved becomes continuous or at least nonbinary. It's an example of a more g

I've also had to deal with the IRB a lot as a professor. The retroactive application is extremely weird (although maybe better than nothing?). This seems like one of those situations that would usually require regular review to err on

I'm genuinely a bit confused — it seems like you're arguing that people should be able to have freedom to choose what to do, but not?

Apparently we should hire the Guardian to evaluate LLM output accuracy? Why are these products being put out there for these kinds of things with no attempt to quantify accuracy? In many areas AI has become this toy that we use because it l

I don't think physician compensation per se is a good metric for capturing the effect of lack of providers, because some of the increased costs are due to the bottlenecks in the services per se, in terms of procedure costs and types of

Psychotherapy is similar to pharmacotherapy in effect size but longer lasting after discontinuation. Given that the latter has been approved, it's safe to assume psychotherapy would be approved if it were a pill.

I'm not sure how this intersects with the point of the paper, but part of the problem with the Renee Good case (or things like it) in my opinion is that the focus too often is on the actual events at a particular moment, and not what i

I think there's a real deficit in research on and understanding motivated cognition, and a lot of blurriness about attitudes versus belief versus perception. I don't just mean anything political, I mean things including physical p

There's more to being a lawyer than what can be measured on a test, just like any profession. Not trying to support the ABA or not support the ABA, but I have experience with this type of issue in other areas and reducing qualification

For whatever it's worth, I felt that regardless of whether it was written by a human, or AI, or AI-then-human, it was poorly written. I was going to dismiss it until I saw the links to the papers at the bottom, which I found pretty in

The Colorado Supreme Court ruled Trump engaged in insurrection as a matter of fact. That is, they deemed it so obvious from the evidence presented (much of which was publicly available) that it didn't require a trial for determination.

To me this is one of those situations where regardless of what happens in Venezuela, there were better, more morally and legally justifiable, ways of achieving the same end.

There are many alternatives to a unilateral unconstitutional action by a convicted felon. Anything multilateral for starters, and involving multilateral nonviolent interventions first.
