The estimable Holland Smith, who has been the technical brains behind RBC, has a new job that leaves him no time to help us. So we’re looking for a new nuts-and-bolts operator. There’s a small amount of routine maintenance, including running the tiny revenue side of the operation, plus the challenge of getting comments back up with a strong enough comment-spam filter to avoid crashing our server. Please email me if you’re interested.
In the meantime, hearty thanks to Holland from all of us.

Professor of Public Policy at the NYU Marron Institute for Urban Management and editor of the Journal of Drug Policy Analysis. Teaches about the methods of policy analysis about drug abuse control and crime control policy, working out the implications of two principles: that swift and certain sanctions don't have to be severe to be effective, and that well-designed threats usually don't have to be carried out.
