[WARNING! I AM HUMAN, AND CAN MAKE ERRORS TOO!] As businesses integrate artificial intelligence in their operations (including goodcounsel, which we’ve written about here), state legislatures are taking steps to regulate its use, particularly when there are civil rights and consumer protection implications. Much of the early focus has been on preventing algorithmic discrimination in […]
I am fortunate to be in Europe for a couple of weeks. It’s always striking to see the quality of public infrastructure here. The Paris Metro is a marvel—beautiful, fast, and extensive. (Why the Metro operates so much better than the NYC Subway, given its smaller operating budget, is a story for another time.) This […]
As is often the case with President Trump, the corruption is out in the open. As a lawyer, it sickens me that the president continues to get away with this. Are people okay with this?

A company must comply with regulations of the states in which it does business. As a practical matter, compliance is geared towards the state with the most stringent regulations. Effective January 1, […]
I was browsing — okay, I admit it, I was on Twitter — and came across an ad for a new, privacy-respecting web browser called Brave. Intrigued, I went to look at it. It’s based on Chromium (Google’s open-source code behind the Chrome browser) but has a whole different (better) approach to privacy. Interestingly, it […]
There’s so much great content being created today. It’s virtually impossible to keep up with the high quality “television” shows being broadcast and streamed. (Still, do yourself a favor and watch Orange is the New Black and Chernobyl at minimum.) It’s pretty much the same with podcasts. Fortunately, I have a reasonable amount of commuting, […]
