Just saw the first trade review of my upcoming book in Publisher's Weekly which called it a "hard-hitting debut exposé" that is "an incisive call for action against the collusions of big money and big government."

I'm writing a book about financial censorship. The book explores how the policies of financial companies shutter speakers and hamper social movements. I just accepted a book deal with @BeaconPressBks, and the book will be out in 2026. raineyreitman.com/2024/06/11… 1/?

Periodic reminder: 5G home internet will positively impact more people, both directly and in the form of increased cableco competition, than Starlink will; T-Mobile alone has 1MM customers already. 1/3

9/14 Reliance on continental ancestry categories fails to accurately capture human genetic diversity, which is continuous rather than categorical. Note: the language of “admixture” is part of the problem, because it depends on an erroneous notion of pre-existing pure types.

Let me share my life’s story and why Apple's repair announcement is a big deal to me. Way back in 2003, I was trying to fix my clamshell iBook and googled for the service manual. All I found was sites that had been removed because of a DMCA takedown. /thread

A little bit overwhelmed by requests for comment on the Apple news that they are will start selling part direct to consumer.
Let me share a few thoughts on this milestone for #RightToRepair. 1/

Seems the FTC is immune to FUD quoting: “Based on a review of comments submitted and materials presented during the Workshop, there is scant evidence to support manufacturers’ justifications for repair restrictions.” #righttorepair

We are still waiting for the FTC to release it's report on repair restrictions and #RightToRepair -- one issue we want covered is warranty abuse.
Do you know that it's generally illegal to void a warranty just for getting something serviced by a third party? 1/

Right-to-repair laws would allow third-party servicers to repair your phone and appliances. But there's stiff resistance. bit.ly/3amySWQ

Anyone know a good source on why Moderna only builds out the RBD of the nCoV spike protein, while Pfizer builds out the entire spike, and how that may impact efficacy for variants etc.? Maybe @Dereklowe? – at Texas, USA

The market in cell phone location data has been highly problematic for a long time. In transportation, some folks have built companies on top of it. Some state and local governments have bought those products, turning a blind eye to the potential harms. Here’s where it leads.

As the pandemic disrupts global supply chains and tightens consumer budgets, more and more people are buying reused electronics, or learning how to fix their old ones.

If bad cell reception in your house is making quarantine worse, I can recommend @waveformhq's products—they're not cheap but they WORK.
My parents' rural in-house cell broadband would not be possible without Cel-Fi Go X.
