The attempted mugging of a visiting president was about the world war that Musk, Trump, and Vance have chosen. If we attend to what Vance and Trump said yesterday, we can work our way to the unreason of American policy, and to the chaos that will follow. snyder.substack.com/p/the-war-tr...

Effective altruism, the recent trend in philanthropy, has been to look for the most bang for your buck. Maybe you don’t have to, Emma Goldberg argues. https://nyti.ms/41GHinN

Trying to answer an ethics review about why my data collection does not process personal data, but unsure. GDPR says IPs are PII. But web sites (servers) use IPs for content delivery. This means all sites, routers, etc process PII? Can this really be true? Is there a #gdpr-sky community yet :)?
