@SolomonMg Really cool and important work. Do you have any documentation for how you go about getting TikTok data? Is it directly through their API?

Bottom line: We found no systematic evidence of political censorship on TikTok post-restructuring at this point. A server outage better explains the data. But the story isn't over, and platforms need to provide the public more transparency.

Last week the story was that TikTok censored anti-Trump/ICE/Pretti videos after the U.S. ownership change. We investigated with a large set of US TikTok data and found some interesting results, short thread...

@usgraphics Are you a UGA alum?

My friend owned one of these in 2000s. I didn't have a car and we'd drive at night from Athens, GA to Evans, GA where my home was for the weekend. We'd leave on Friday evening, I was on the passenger seat surrounded by the amber glow of the car. It was just magestic, it felt futuristic at the time. Didn't know that future would turn out to be like this.

Tesla aesthetics (catch-all for modern design) will never match driving in pitch darkness, the absolutely wonderful BMW E46 interior at night, glowing in monochromatic amber light. It was so fucking beautiful. This isn't just nostalgia, this is an objective regression.

@380kmh Tangentially related, but you may enjoy perusing ONET onetonline.org

@octonion Re-roll any dice with value that is < E[fair dice]?

Simplified Yahtzee. Roll five fair dice, then reroll any subset of the dice up to two times. What strategy maximizes your expected total score?

@Pinboard Nie szkodzi, znalazłem twoją stronę na Wikipedii.

I've been calling my foster kittens "kotki-szprotki" and by some linguistic miracle the same wordplay (cats-sprats) works in English

@krichard1212 @MatthewBJane Ahh I better see what you mean now with your earlier comment about "given that someone is in the deficient range"

@BenListyg @MatthewBJane But that's a psot hoc analysis and no one has done an RCT yet where all participants are deficient

Same energy

@krichard1212 @MatthewBJane Seems like there's a good bit of evidence that its linked to a variety of positive outcomes examine.com/supplements/vi…

@SashaGusevPosts Do you have a link to the transcript? I can't seem to find it.

This has to be one of the craziest admissions from A JUDGE that I've ever seen in a court transcript. What the hell are we doing here?!

Had a great time speaking with the brilliant @JerusalemDemsas about our new working paper on age verification laws (with @DavidLangEcon, @BenListyg, @brennahross, Anna M) and what it means for the tech policy landscape WP on OSF: osf.io/z83ev/

@wwwojtekk Gratulacje!

In personal news and with a very peculiar sense of (random) timing

Do age-verification laws for online adult content work? Based on Google search data, not really. New WP from me and & co-authors (@DavidLangEcon, @BenListyg, @brennahross & Anna V. Musquera) up now on OSF: osf.io/z83ev

@SINISTERCRACKER everything matters. this is all that we have

@ProfRobAnderson Do you have a link to a working paper? Would love to read it!

I just submitted my article, "The Evolution of the Poison Pill," which is free to a good law review home. This article took me *seven years* of collecting and cleaning 3,500 poison pill documents back to the original Household International/Crown Zellerbach pills. Using software designed to trace viral outbreaks, I analyzed the text of these documents to reconstruct the ancestry of the poison pill from its beginnings until 2022. The key event in the evolutionary process was when the Skadden Arps branch of the family tree diverged from Wachtell Lipton branch, eventually overtaking the Wachtell branch in the marketplace. The article argues that the poison pill was not a single technical "invention," as it is commonly described, but rather the culmination of several ideas by different contributors. The modern poison pill was a joint development of Wachtell Lipton and Skadden Arps, together with Morgan Stanley and other participants. Ultimately the true original innovation was the idea of using a private contract (the poison pill) to create public policy (an antitakeover "statute"). Lipton's genius was to see that the deadlock over antitakeover statues in Delaware could be broken by proposing what was essentially an antitakeover statute in the form of a private contract. In this way, the Moran v. Household International decision delegated the writing of antitakeover statutes to private parties through the poison pill. If you're a law review editor looking for corporate law pieces, this one is certain to generate discussion (and debate).
