Stay indoors. But also return in person. Wear a mask. Not that one. The expensive one, that you can’t find. Take rapid tests. Which you also can’t find. But if you find them, don’t buy them. Rapid tests don’t work. You need PCR. There are zero appointments in your area.

James Madison was America’s 4th president. He helped shape the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. He was also a slave owner, and he created the 3/5 Compromise (that each enslaved person would count as 3/5 of a person for state electoral vote totals). A complicated legacy.

AI emotion recognition does not work. Period. The tech isn’t ready. The research isn’t there. Privacy and human rights are at risk. More research is good, but Apple needs to give users freedom to opt in/out of emotion recognition, and more transparency and accountability.

For instance, here are 10 moods the iPhone can now infer about you based on what you type. They include “anxiety” “anger” “positive” and “death”. UCLA could be among the first researchers to get access to these metrics. (7/n)

Millennials thought 9/11 was our generation’s defining moment. And then the 2016 election. And now the pandemic. But it’s only 2020, and we’re not even 40 yet.

Here is my syllabus for the very idiosyncratic privacy law class I’m teaching this fall at Yale. “The Changing Right to Privacy” looks at privacy from diverse, interdisciplinary perspectives – inc. philosophy, ethics, history, policy, & critical theory.

I love academia because it’s full of people who are so, so smart about one specific thing and so, so dumb at all other aspects of life
