Turns out, I finished among the top ten participants -- by age, at any rate. Call it the Woody Allen Prize, where at least eighty percent of success is showing up. 4/4

Posts on the Canadian Ski Marathon from my Linkedin feed. 1/4

[stewartbaker @stewartbaker]

The marathon itself has changed, mainly due to warmer winters, but it's still a very Canadian grass roots event. For a video introduction to the marathon, here's something I did for grandchildren a couple of years ago: https://t.co/0ywHQ7iAxc 3/4

It's time (past time, really) to talk again about renewing section 702 of FISA, this time permanently. My op-ed kicks the discussion off in Lawfare. https://t.co/0sjaVY17G4

[stewartbaker @stewartbaker]

@SterlingBeason Sadly, no. The Risky Biz podcasts are good on cybersecurity if you don't mind the occasional flashes of smug BBC-style lefty politics.

The AI-copyright debate goes on. I respond to @eriqgardner here: https://t.co/j85nRdYOfs

My response to the Anthropic copyright settlement: "Copyright plaintiffs are squeezing enormous sums from AI companies. That's bad for the US and great for China. It's time for President Trump to invoke the Defense Production Act and resolve the crisis."

No law still invoked in today's America is more tainted by institutional racism than the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which was adopted to ensure that Reconstruction could never again be enforced by the US military.

Return of the Cyberlaw Podcast -

I just recorded episode 502 of the Cyberlaw Podcast, back (briefly) from the dead. It's an interview with Orin Kerr about his excellent book, The Digital Fourth Amendment. It should be distributed soon, so watch for it in your feed.

@DAlperovitch @argvee @RSAConference @0xAlexei That and cojones.

[stewartbaker @stewartbaker]

@DAlperovitch @argvee @RSAConference @0xAlexei I agree that CISA's "share with us because we will never criticize or nudge you" stance is unsustainable. But industry can threaten information sharing no matter who writes the disaster reports. And is the CSRB likely to show more courage than CISA when its existence is at risk?

[stewartbaker @stewartbaker]

@argvee @DAlperovitch @RSAConference @0xAlexei I'm not sure this discussion works in 140 characters, but does CISA really have institutional interests that are inconsistent with tough, fair disaster reports? Or is the concern a political reluctance to hold big companies to account, which could easily manifest on the CSRB too?

[stewartbaker @stewartbaker]

@argvee @RSAConference @0xAlexei Yes. I think we need what CSRB was doing, as I said when interviewing Alexei (with a long shoutout to Appalachian Mountain Club mountaineering disaster reports). If CSRB isn't coming back soon, we need to find a replacement.

[stewartbaker @stewartbaker]

@argvee @RSAConference @0xAlexei Your point about CISA employees having possible conflicts from prior jobs is valid. The ethics rules aren't exactly clear on that point, but some review makes sense.

[stewartbaker @stewartbaker]

@argvee @RSAConference @0xAlexei It seems pretty clear that the administration has accepted the conflict concerns as legitimate. If it were up to me, I'd bring the CSRB back, but if that's not in the cards, I'd like to see CISA take up the role.

@james_a_lewis So is it time for us to start stealing China's IP? https://t.co/v2T6ncSWyM
