RIP Robert Lucas. A wonderful teacher, the deepest of thinkers and un unbelievably clear, insightful writer.
He was always obsessed by ideas, always going deeper. An anecdote from my graduate school years tells a lot about his obsessive drive to learn and to understand.

It is quite obvious: let them "throttle it" and let the Turkish government face the public consequences. The precedent (any government can threaten to shut it off and win the right to censor opposition) is the opposite of what you claim to fight for.
RT @elonmusk: @mattyglesias Did your brain fall out of your head, Yglesias? The choice is have Twitter throttled in its entirety or limit access to some tweets. Which one do you want?
