Nightly Nuance - June 8, 2021
June 08, 2021 19:52 - 12 minutes - 16.8 MBHello, my friends. Today, I want to talk about what happens when a government leader gets personally offended by a social media platform, decides that platform spreads too much "fake news," and desires to stop dissent from fomenting on that platform. Sound familiar? In Nigeria (the world's seventh most populous country with an emerging economy), the government has completely banned Twitter indefinitely. For everyone. For any reason. As in, reporters can't use Twitter to find or share news....

Today, I’m talking about a federal judge’s decision to strike down California’s ban on assault weapons. My friend, Eric, who talked with me about guns and the Second Amendment on the podcast a while back, sent me a “Freedom!” gif from Braveheart, and he’d be very pleased with the Court’s analysis in this case. It’s kind of an unusual opinion -- almost like this judge h...

June 02, 2021 20:44 - 12 minutes - 6.22 MBHello my friends, I'm posting old-school and late today because of a busy morning with my family. Thanks for your patience and grace! I want to discuss the cyberattack on JBS SA today -- not from a technical perspective but from the lens of what I'm calling Unethical Bigness. How do we know when a meat-packing company (or any company for that matter) has gotten big to the point that we should do something about it?

Nightly Nuance - June 1, 2021
June 01, 2021 18:00 - 12 minutes - 17.2 MBHello, my friends. Hooray for a whole new month! I’ve been thinking about freedom a lot over the holiday weekend. Chad and I have argued a bit over the Chinese government’s restrictions on how many children families can have. I’ve gotten very riled up about building permits, speed traps, and HOA restrictions. All of this has made me realize, more deeply than I have before, that we don’t share a common definition of the most animating principle in our country. When you think about freedom, ...

May 26, 2021 17:51 - 13 minutes - 18.2 MBHello, my friends. I don’t want to think or talk or write about Donald Trump, Bill Barr, even Bob Mueller ever again as long as I live. And yet for 3 reasons, I find a recent order from US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson highly relevant to this question: may the government effectively lie to citizens and the courts about its deliberations and conceal the documents underlying those lies? Judge Berman Jackson ordered that a memo about Barr’s decision to mischaracterize the Mueller report ...

May 25, 2021 20:28 - 12 minutes - 17.1 MBHello, my friends. I hope you found today’s episode valuable, and I hope it’s valuable to take a hard turn here to discuss something entirely different. For most of my life, the vast majority of crimes have been explainable on some level. Even after the worst terrorist attacks, we’ve pretty quickly understood who did it. We usually know something about why -- at least to the extent that we can ever understand each other’s motivations. I can’t recall a crime occurring in my life that we’ve n...

Today, let's talk about Alabama's law allowing yoga to be taught in schools for the first time since 1993. Alabama Representative Jeremy Gray (who is a Democrat, a former football player, and a registered yoga teacher) has tried twice before to lift Alabama's ban on yoga, and succeeded on this third go. In order to pass the law through Alabama's Republican-dominated legislature, the law contains some truly ignorant and offens...

I was on Marco Polo talking to my friend Anna about the impossibility of finding a rental car for a trip that Chad and I were trying to plan (it’s probably not happening!). We were hypothesizing about why this might be, and I decided to dig into it. As I learned more about the global semiconductor chip supply shortage, I knew we had to discuss it here.

May 18, 2021 18:48 - 13 minutes - 18.6 MBHello, my friends. Let’s use a totally different side of our brains than we used in today’s podcast and talk about data and privacy. Many of us just completed the US Census. When we did, we answered lots of questions honestly (presumably) knowing that our data would give rise to hundreds of published statistics. I don’t know about you, but I didn’t even once consider the risks to my privacy of participating in the Census. The risks are not insubstantial! The Census discovered that just abou...

Nightly Nuance: May 12, 2021
May 12, 2021 21:05 - 29.9 MBHello, my friends. Today, let’s talk about what’s happening in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. There is no easy way to talk about this. There is nothing simple about it. I think the most important thing to remember is that so many people in this region just want to live a normal life. They didn’t choose this. They have varying degrees of confidence in the leaders who launch rockets and deploy aggressive police forces. I’m picking up today from my 2016 primer on this subject. If you haven...
