After thinking on it over the weekend, I have a couple of thoughts about this panel (both a bit negative + a tad contrarian it seems, though maybe just among the 6 panelists):
1. A constant refrain I hear from public opinion researchers is that the public wants (& practitioners should focus on) public opinion polling on policy & political 'issues', not election / candidate polling
The argument is reminiscent of anti-fast food dietary rhetoric. People should / do want issue polls because this is the 'healthy' way to engage in public opinion as opposed to the "guilty pleasure" of election polling
I think people are drawn to election polling because who ends up being an elected official is insanely consequential to the lives of many Americans. Political leaders also help "determine" the ideological focus of our politics, especially among co-partisans
It makes sense that researchers love "issue polling". We are really deeply interested in politics and what the public thinks and it's repercussions on politics. It also adds important extra dimensions to our work, especially when elections aren't ongoing.
What is the future of public opinion polling? Register for tomorrow\u2019s live panel of #polling, #media, and #surveyresearch experts as they discuss what we can and should expect from #publicopinionpolls. https://t.co/6YHlSinIez @pete_enns @doug_rivers @jennagiesta @pollcat pic.twitter.com/Ucq9rSsFkX

»Today Elastic announced that they are changing the license of both Elasticsearch and Kibana from the open source Apache v2 license to Server Side Public License (SSPL). «
»In a play to convert users of their open source projects into paying customers...« ist eine vereinfachte Darstellung.
Der Elefang im Raum ist hier Amazon, die Open Source Projeke nehmen und betreiben, ohne eine kommerzielle Beziehung zu den Firmen zu haben, die diese …
… Projekte finanzieren und entwickeln.
Dasselbe Problem existiert nicht nur mit ES und Kibana, sondern praktisch mit jedem Dienst, den Amazon in AWS bereitstellt und nicht selbst entwickelt hat.
Andere Firmen sind hier nur Kollateralschaden.
Die von MongoDB erfundene SSPL oder die MariaDB BSL sind keine guten Antworten auf die Ausplünderung von Open Source durch AWS, aber die OSI Open Source Guidelines haben auch keine Antwort und die Projekte können nicht auf eine https://t.co/X9O8ovJnlb Idee warten.
Schade.

We seem to be moving to the Reichstag Fire Decree phase of the capitol riot aftermath. @ElonBachman
Google & Apple are free to do this, of course, and I can't say I have been too thrilled with Parler in my short experience with it.
What worries me is the attitude that seems to dominate the Left now that if only wrongthink and wrongspeak can be suppressed, paradise will emerge
We are seeing many actions justified as responses to recent violence (responses we did not see, by the way, in response to any other political violence in 2020) that could equally be construed as...
...battlespace preparation, the removal of potential sources of criticism for a new Democratic Presidency and Congress. I think many like me with free market & libertarian impulses are torn about how to react to the role of private companies in these actions.
How far into a corporate state do we need to fall before private actors aren't private any more? Where folks used to speak of a military-industrial complex, we now seem to have a administrative-communications complex.
