I am grateful to the remarkable students who make CTRL-ALT so much fun, to Cornell for creating an environment that brings them together, and to Helen Nissenbaum for giving CTRL-ALT a home within the Digital Life Initiative. 4/

For now, the most visible activity of CTRL-ALT has been a weekly law+CS discussion group, Delete Cookies. (I provide the cookies.) But there is much more in the pipeline, which I will share in due course. 3/

Both CTRL-ALT and my new Law of Software course grew out of my asking what I could do to help advance the field of law and CS. The answer I came to was to bring together students and researchers from both fields and to help them learn from each other. 2/

During the pandemic, we soft-launched the Cornell Tech Research Lab in Applied Law and Technology, a/k/a CTRL-ALT. It's home to a remarkable group of lawyers, technologists, and scholars who do cutting-edge law+CS research. https://t.co/nlRYLwqzol 1/

I’ll be teaching a new research seminar this spring: The Law of Software. It deals with issues “in which the legal treatment of software depends on the technical details of how that software works.” Tentative syllabus at https://t.co/k8EeQ9lfQp Comments and suggestions welcome!

For the second time, Businessweek asked a single author to write an entire issue on one topic. In 2015, it was @ftrain’s award-winning 38,000-word opus, “What Is Code?” Today, Money Stuff’s @matt_levine dropped 40,000 words on crypto.
