Do you have a link to the Canadian polls? I'm looking on my own but I'm an analyst by both trade and inclination and I'd like to see that data.

We really need to avoid this thinking--again, one of Hayak's concern about this particular prize--that any of it comes down to "one person" or one set of research.

Ah, gotcha. We're talking at cross-purposes a bit I think.

Thank you for being civil through this; I genuinely appreciate that and it's nice to meet someone else who cares about these issues.

You're not hurting the authors/creators by using this--download and access fees for academic publications pay the publisher, not the researcher. If you're looking for an academic citation that's locked behind a paywall, give this a try.

This is a piece I wrote outlining some (mostly nontechnical) thoughts about the future of tech, the ongoing internet apocalypse, and of course how we can thrive in this digital wasteland.

This is the energy we need going forward into the second half of the year.

" Five men were convicted by a federal jury in Las Vegas this week for their part in operating Jetflicks, which officials say was one of the largest illegal streaming services in the U.S.

Jetflicks, which charged $9.99 per month for the streaming service, generated millions of dollars in subscription revenue and caused “substantial harm to television program copyright owners,” the Justice Department said Thursday."
