A very nice, but long piece on the current state of the art, over at Gizmodo.
Twitter Censorship
Yes, “keep driving” would have been a better formulation, but as he says, it’s Twitter. I’ve also noticed that these suspension seem to be entirely one sided:
They tell users and investors that they don’t censor, but they seem awfully quick to suspend people on one side of the debate and, as people over at Twitchy note, awfully tolerant of outright threats on the other.
Not that I’m trying to be, but I’m a little surprised that I’ve never had a problem. Yet.

Here’s the story from Legal Insurrection.
I'm guessing that Glenn didn't actually do what they say he did. https://t.co/yPkHO2ykAX

More thoughts from Nick Gillespie. I think I can guess what Glenn’s next USA Today column will be about.
[Update late morning]
Aaaaaand, the administration at the University of Tennessee reveal themselves to be asshats.
[Update mid-afternoon]
Here’s the story from PJMedia.
Hacker-Proof Code
…through formal software verification. This seems like sort of a big deal. Particularly in the era of the Internet of Things and self-driving cars. Of course, the weakest link in security will remain the flawed unit between the seat and the keyboard.
The “Lone Wolf” Lie
Without it, we could have prevented almost every attack.
The New Space Race
An interesting article, from my local paper, about the renaissance of aerospace in southern California in general and the South Bay in particular. Not sure Interorbital should be included in the list, though.
Microsoft’s Cancer Cure
Derek Lowe isn’t impressed.
@Rand_Simberg @Dereklowe @Eaterofsun Maybe they could just install Windows 10 into the tumors?

XKCD And Climate
I’m generally a big fan of Randall Monroe, but I thought his latest was a misfire. This is a more accurate take.
The FBI Report On Hillary
Sharyl Atkisson has taken the time and trouble to put together a no-spin summary of it. I think that Comey should be impeached.
Bush For Clinton
Yes, this is indeed exactly why so many Republicans are supporting Trump, even though he’s a Democrat. More thoughts from Ed Driscoll. Someone should ask Papa Bush what he thinks about Bill Clinton’s history of raping women, and Hillary covering for it and attacking the victims.
[Update a few minutes later]
Hillary is a one-woman war on honesty. But despite her corruption, incompetence and lies, she’s part of the Washington “elite,” so she’s A-OK as far as the Bushes are concerned.
Peter Thiel
Would Trump appoint him to the Supreme Court?
I’d support that, but I can’t really see him wanting the job.
