  1. https://popehat.substack.com/p/section-230-is-the-subject-of-the From Popehat "Very simply put, Section 230 is the law that says that, if I post something defamatory on Twitter, the victim can sue me, but not Twitter. It also says, again put simply, that Twitter has the right to moderate stuff on its site as it sees fit. The language of Section 230 is fairly clear, for something written by Congress. There is very little controversy amongst actual courts about what it means. The legal impact of Section 230 has been well-established by courts for decades, and efforts to evade it have been consistently rejected. Audio form: https://legaltalknetwork.com/podcasts/make-no-law/2019/08/deplatformed-social-media-censorship-and-the-first-amendment/ You really like reading? https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20200531/23325444617/hello-youve-been-referred-here-because-youre-wrong-about-section-230-communications-decency-act.shtml I will agree that tech companies inconsistently enforce their terms of service. However, it is unlikely that giving the government more power to regulate the internet will do anything to improve that.

The investigation did not uncover any additional misconduct," the Air Force said. The anonymous complaint that triggered the probe alleged that Hesterman also interfered in the military assignments of the female officer's former husband, according to a heavily redacted copy of the investigation report.
  6. Looks like USAA is switching to Visa, should eliminate all foreign transactions fees for members in 2016. I called USAA to see when this is rolling out but got no other answer than "January 2016".

  8. Can't wait for this to happen when a scandal about tuition assistance comes out. Then they can blame every Lt and Capt for fraud, waste, and abuse of public funds. If only one of us had the courage to speak up! /sarc Edit: writing is hard

    I have heard of some "programming errors" on one of the COA sections. If you have submitted your recommendations multiple times and they should have "passed", you might want to email the webmaster and see if you are stuck in some sort of glitch.

    I have a buddy living in OKC in a new home that does not have a basement. It seemed the same way in Altus too. Anyone have a reason why everyone doesn't have a basement in OK?
  13. Soldiers and sex: Can men evolve? "Then what will it take to end this seemingly endless parade of men who harass and undermine military women? I think we need a serious re-education program for all military men." Stand by for remediation.
  14. It took me a couple flights to remember that the autopilot and flight director don't talk like they did in a previous aircraft, but after a hundred hours in a jet/sim, can someone still be bad unsafe at using automation?
