International Debate on Internet Filtering

From Turkey, talking to lots of people about the future of Internet filtering, I’m struck by the value of a broad, public debate about what kind of a network we want the Internet to become over time.

Berkman Center and the Center for Future Civic Media

Not quite 10 years ago, a literally once-in-a-lifetime opportunity came my way: I got the chance to be the third executive director of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard.  It was about four years old.  The Berkman Center was blessed with visionary founders and talented students.  It had been set up by ...

Stop scaling headcount. Scale your workspace.

Most security teams don’t have a talent problem, they have a noise problem. Manual phishing remediation, chasing risky OAuth permissions, and auditing file shares shouldn’t be a full-time job.

Material Security unifies your cloud workspace, bringing detection and response for email, files, and accounts into one place. It’s security that actually works: augmenting the native gaps in Google and Microsoft without the usual enterprise bloat.

Stop fighting fragmented consoles and start focusing on strategy. It’s time to simplify your SecOps.

See how Material scales.

The Raptors’ 31-0 Run Was As Gross As It Was Great To Behold

The Raptors’ 31-0 Run Was As Gross As It Was Great To Behold
The phrase "31-0 run" in basketball might trigger visions of rhapsodic, jogo bonito ball movement, virtuosic shooting, and impregnable defense. The actual 31-0 run achieved by the Toronto Raptors on Sunday looked a little more ordinary than that. If there was anything specta...

This is a clever plugin from OpenAI to run Codex inside Claude Code. It’s convenient for people who use both tools, but it’ll also help sell Codex when it finds some improvement in whatever implementation Claude proposed. Models reviewing other models’ work.
