In state news, Wak Med has gotten approval from the state to move forward with building two new hospitals. According to WRAL, one hospital will cater to behavioral and mental health services, which officials say is a large need for Wake County. Garner is the proposed site for a new treatment center which will offer 45 beds for people with long-term illnesses. The health care system also plans to build a state-of-the-art behavioral center in Knightdale. The Knightdale facility will house 150 mental health beds. Organizations have 30 days to appeal the state's decision. However, WakeMed's spokesperson says that 30 days will be up by this weekend for the Garner property. If there is no opposition, WakeMed will be able to move forward with planning and development. In national news, a man in Florida shot and killed 3 people including a child and a reporter covering the shooting. According to the Associated Press, the man was riding in a car with his cousin when he shot and killed another passenger before returning to the same neighborhood near Orlando hours later where he shot four more people. Of those four, the man killed a journalist covering the initial shooting and a 9-year-old girl. Spectrum News 13 identified the reporter as Daniel Lyons and said he was in an unmarked news vehicle covering the original homicide when a man approached and shot him and his cameraman. The shooter went on to a nearby home where he fatally shot T'yonna Major and critically wounded the girls mother.

Guest Hosts: Marty Carpenter and Leah Murray There is an ongoing debate among lawmakers in this country about the security concerns posed by the social media app TikTok. The Chinese owned app has been under intense scrutiny, and some lawmakers have made calls to ban the app nationwide. But Daniel Lyons from AEI and Boston College Law School says such a ban would be unconstitutional because it would violate the first amendment. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Daniel Lyons and Laura Jane Foley have been growing hemp in County Clare since 2018 under the name Wild Atlantic Hemp. The husband and wife team have trialed different varieties of hemp on their farm to see what suited the growing conditions on the aptly-named Wild Atlantic Way. They process the flower of the plant to make cannabidiol (CBD) oil from their own hemp and that of other Irish farmers. This is an exciting listen about a group of farmers who are blazing the trail for a crop that could massively contribute to a greener planet. We spoke about the many uses of hemp in our lives, the science, the processes, the challenges, and of course, the regulatory complications as this market and potential super crop explodes worldwide. We also chat about the Hemp4Soil project, a Regenerative Farming Experiment in Loop Head in conjunction with ten local farmers, who were encouraged to grow an acre of hemp to see how hemp not only improves the overall quality of the soil and benefits local biodiversity, but could also provide sustainable income streams to the farmers in the future.And in a very exciting turn for our podcast, we have a special offer! A Free 5ml bottle of CBD Oil shipped out to your door. No catch…. but you'll have to listen to find out how. Find out more on wildatlantichemp.com Hosted on Acast.

Florida State Seminoles football had another big weekend, taking advantage of the recruiting dead period ending to nab two commits in offensive lineman Daughtry Richardson and defensive tackle Daniel Lyons. The FSU staff picked up a mid-week commitment from class of 2023 quarterback Chris Parson as well. To break down the newest commits, Kevin Little, Adam Brown and Perry Kostidakis Scouting Report Daughtry Richardson Richardson possesses the hips you love to see from an OL prospect. He is explosive through his glutes and hips when he is driving people often knocking them up and backwards. Richardson is a true tackle prospect who possesses the length and feet you want out of a tackle. You may also notice how he finishes during his highlights. It has become a point of emphasis for these players to finish blocks. Daniel Lyons New school DT prospect to attack the space race. Lyons is an up the field penetrator who has an explosive get off and fits well in a one gap scheme. I anticipate the FSU defense becoming more one gap so Lyons seems like a natural fit. Long and explosive are great traits to find in a new school DT prospect.

On April 1, 2021 the Supreme Court decided Facebook Inc. v. Duguid. The issue was whether the definition of an "automatic telephone dialing system" in the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 encompasses any device that can “store” and “automatically dial” telephone numbers, even if the device does not “us[e] a random or sequential number generator.”In a 9-0 opinion authored by Justice Sotamayor, the Court reversed the ruling of the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and remanded the case. The Supreme Court held, “To qualify as an ‘automatic telephone dialing system’ under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, a device must have the capacity either to store, or to produce, a telephone number using a random or sequential number generator.” This decision narrows the federal robocoll ban. Scott D. Delacourt, Partner at Wiley Rein LLP and Daniel Lyons, Professor of Law at Boston College School of Law, joins us today for a conversation moderated by Danielle Thumann, Attorney Advisor for FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr.

C’est une petite histoire dans la grande Histoire. La rencontre d’une petite fille normande avec l’un de ses libérateurs. C’était il y a plus de 76 ans, le 6 juin 1944, dans la cuisine d’une maison de Ranville dans le Calvados, quelques heures avant le Débarquement des Alliés sur les côtes normandes. Thérèse, du haut de ses 5 ans, n’a jamais oublié cette nuit où elle vit débarquer dans la maison familiale les premiers parachutistes anglais du Jour-J. Parmi eux, Daniel Lyons de la 6th Airbone Division, le jeune britannique de 19 ans tentera de lui offrir du chocolat, en vain. "Dans mon imaginaire, je pensais que c'était un allemand " confie Thérèse aujourd’hui âgée de 81 ans. La suite de cette histoire va s’écrire 73 ans plus tard, en juin 2017... Bonne écoute ! Vous pouvez également retrouver les témoignages de Thérèse et Daniel dans le Tome 2 de "Till Victory : lettres du Jour J à la victoire" écrit par Clément Horvath, auteur également du documentaire « Red Beret and Dark Chocolate » qui retrace cette rencontre.

Under Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman https://www.fcc.gov/about/leadership/ajit-pai (Ajit Pai's) leadership, the US is experiencing faster internet speeds, a healthy investment in the buildout of 5G networks, more efficient use of spectrum, and notable progress on programs to close the digital divide. Chairman Pai's FCC has also implemented common-sense reforms such as lowering interstate prison phone rate caps and creating a new suicide hotline. Pai recently announced he would leave the FCC on January 20th, but his legacy will leave a lasting imprint on the agency. Specifically, he will be remembered for his innovation-friendly, light-touch approach to regulatory policy. On this episode of “Explain to Shane,” https://www.aei.org/profile/shane-tews/ (Shane) and AEI's https://www.aei.org/profile/daniel-lyons/ (Daniel Lyons) hear from Chairman Pai himself on what lies ahead for the Biden FCC and how the agency has navigated complex issues like 5G, spectrum allocation, and https://www.fcc.gov/restoring-internet-freedom (Restoring Internet Freedom).
The case of Facebook Inc. v. Duguid will have oral arguments before the Supreme Court on December 8, 2020.

Earlier in October, the D.C. Circuit issued its long-awaited opinion in Mozilla v. Federal Communications Commission in which the court largely upheld the Commission’s 2017 Restoring Internet Freedom Order that reversed the Obama Administration’s 2015 decision to apply common carrier regulation to the Internet. While the court upheld the bulk of the agency’s actions as reasonable under the Supreme Court’s rulings in Chevron and Brand X, the court also found that the agency lacked plenary preemption authority over state efforts to regulate the Internet under the FCC’s theory of the case. As such, this case does not mark the end of the net neutrality debate; instead, it simply closes one chapter and opens a new one.In this episode, a panel of legal and economic experts share their views of the court’s reasoning and of the implications of this case upon the on-going net neutrality debate.Featuring:- Russell P.

Turns out, nobody’s sure, but it could be “a lot.” We’ll speak with Roy Gutterman, the Director of Syracuse University’s Tully Center for Free Speech. We'll also speak with Daniel Lyons of Boston College Law School.

The FCC derives its legal authority almost entirely from statutes that predate the Internet--primarily from the 1934 Communications Act, which was designed for the regulation of a national telephone monopolist, and the 1996 Telecommunications Act, which was designed to incrementally deregulate the communications industry as the vestiges of that national monopoly gave way to competition. Over the past 20 years, the Internet has become the foundation of the communications industry, playing a role similar to that of the monopoly-provided telecommunications services that the FCC has traditionally regulated. There is unquestionably more competition today than there was in 1934, but perhaps not as much as was hoped in 1996. The FCC’s Open Internet Order, in which the FCC brought Internet Service Providers within the regulatory framework initially created in 1934, presents a compelling example of an agency struggling to find a new role in a changed industry – struggling to imbue old statutes with broad grants of power to govern what the FCC, but perhaps not Congress, believes are issues properly within its ambit. In doing so, the Order thrusts the FCC into current debates about the scope of the administrative state, the potential revival of the major questions doctrine, and the potential demise of Chevron. Framed by these issues, this debate will consider whether the FCC’s Open Internet Order fits within the agency’s statutory authority. -- This debate took place during the 18th Annual Faculty Conference at the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel in New York, NY on January 8, 2016. -- Featuring: Prof. Adam Candeub, Michigan State University School of Law; Prof. Justin (Gus) Hurwitz, Nebraska College of Law; Mr. Geoffrey Manne, International Center for Law and Economics; and Prof. James Speta, Northwestern University School of Law.

两封非常深入的听众反馈,Rio 的 Apple Watch(负面)体验,和《IT 公论》「抢生意」的 Vox + LOOP,以及 Mike Matas 新作、Facebook 的 Instant Articles。 每月三十元,支持不鸟万如一和 Rio 把《IT 公论》做成最好的科技播客。请访问 itgonglun.com/member。若您无意入会,但喜欢某一期节目,也欢迎用支付宝支付小费(建议金额:一元、五元或十元人民币):hi@itgonglun.com 或扫描下方二维码。 上期节目播出之后,我们收到了两封非常深入的用户反馈。长期以来,电邮是我们和各位会员主要的交流方式。这次的两封邮件令我们深信电邮比论坛、通讯群、和各类线上社区更能催生细致而理性的讨论。我们也为拥有像各位一样的朋友感到骄傲。 Facebook 近日推出的 Instant Articles 功能无疑是吸引媒体全身心拥抱 Facebook 的又一招杀手锏。Facebook 想对美国的媒体做微信对中国媒体做的事情,它野心更大,且毫不掩饰。 一言以蔽之,Instant Articles 是网页文章的美图秀秀。它不仅让网页在 Facebook 的原生软件(目前只对 iPhone 版生效)里能够排出美观、无边框、富于交互性的版式,还大大提升了文章的加载速度——大概是一秒和七秒的区别。虽然这些文章最终是给读者看的,但 Instant Articles 功能面对的「用户」是媒体:《纽约时报》、BuzzFeed 等等。目前若想体验该功能的效果,请在 Facebook.app 里搜索 BuzzFeed,找到题为「13 Steps to Instantly Improve Your Day」的文章点开即可。 几个月前传出了 Facebook 试图邀请部分媒体将内容托管在 Facebook 里的新闻。条件不可谓不优厚:Facebook 负担所有的流量费用,免费提供技术支持。媒体销售人员卖出的广告 Facebook 分文不取;Facebook 销售人员替媒体卖出的广告,七成分给媒体。如今 Instant Articles 一出,连版式设计与用户体验的问题都帮你解决好了。简单来说,对于一线媒体而言,选择与 Facebook 合作不仅可以省去不少流量与技术维护成本,拿到现成的活跃渠道,还可以让你的页面读起来更舒服,加载速度更快。似乎完全没有拒绝的理由。媒体一旦入局,保留自己专门的 URL 和网站的意义就不多了。 这有点像前些年发生在企业软件领域的事。原本死都不放心把公司电邮放在别人家服务器的 IT 主管,渐渐意识到把电邮、日历、地址本业务外包给 Google(Google Apps)要比自己辛苦维护靠谱得多。从「自己动手丰衣足食」(Not invented here)到「让专业人做专业事」是 IT 领域的大势所趋。 媒体不擅长什么?做网站、维护网站、做 app、维护 app——最好的工程师很少会去媒体上班。这些事交给 Facebook 去做绝对是正确的选择。但别忘了还有一句口水话叫「如果不付费,你就不是用户,而是被卖掉的产品」。这对于活人成立,对于企业同样成立。免费享用 Facebook 一流技术服务以及流量必定会有代价,这代价就是丧失控制权。 控制什么?首先是表现形式。Instant Articles 再好看,也只不过是一种以不变应万变(one size fits all)的解决方案。面对各家媒体在品牌形象和设计上的多样需求,Facebook 愿意配合定制到哪一步,目前尚不可知。必须明白的一点是,「定制」和软件天生就存在矛盾。定制就是专有,就是不可复用,这和软件代码的诉求截然相反。手工艺品与西装的定制被传为佳话,而如果你写一个软件偏要用全世界没多少人用的定制技术,吃苦的肯定是你自己。这种本质性的悖论决定了工程思维主导的产品无法实现彻底的定制。对于重视自己独特表现形式的媒体,这是需要仔细考虑的。 更重要的是对读者信息的控制。运营过微信公众账号的朋友知道,你能看到哪些用户关注了你,但看不到她们的微信号。换言之,假如某位用户取消了关注,你就永久性地失去了她。你的电脑上不会有一个大大的装满读者资料的 Excel 表格。在我看来,Facebook 同样没有任何动机将用户信息提供给媒体。这对媒体而言是致命的。 从读者的角度说,不妨想一下你更愿意把个人信息交给哪一方。传统智慧认为 Facebook 靠卖你的信息为生,但媒体难道不是?要想让自己心安,付钱是唯一保险的办法。一手交钱,一手交货,就是这么简单。这种小卖部卖香烟的商业模式听起来可能不够酷,但不要忘记你是一个听为成年人准备的科技播客的成年人。酷不酷这种事,就用著名 funk 乐队 Tower of Power 一九七三年的经典《What is Hip》来说明吧: So you became part of the new breed Been smokin’ only the best weed Been hangin’ out on the so-called hippest set Being seen at all the right places Being seen with just the right faces You should be satisfied Still it ain’t quite right What is hip? Tell me, tell me if you think you know What is hip? If you was really hip The passing years would show You into a hip trip Maybe hipper than hip But what is hip? 不鸟万如一最近在玩的 app(Rio 最近没有玩什么 app) 改版后的 Droplr 最近我们读的一些文章 Palo Alto 中学生为什么纷纷自杀? 又有一个人要改变美国人的饮食习惯,他姓 Musk 相关链接 David Foster Wallace Social engineering Matt Gemmell: Distractions 木遥的中国政治坐标系测试 Vox 和 LOOP 《Silicon Valley》 Dan Lyons (Fake Steve Jobs) Alec Berg 《Seinfeld》 《Curb Your Enthusiasm》 Instant Articles Mike Matas Wil Shipley Delicious Library Delicious Generation 《Our Choice》 Droplr 人物简介 不鸟万如一:字节社创始人。 Rio: Apple4us 程序员。
