The reason I'm interested in institution design is because the underlying story of our time is the failure of our inherited institutions to adapt adequately to the challenges we face.

Back in 2021 @mattwadd wrote the below blog post and @mengwong took an example from that post and wrote it in L4. I’m now sitting with Matthew while he learns L4 using that same example while Meng instructs from the front at #CLAWCON Loop closed!
This issue of the Loophole is a large file, and there were some formatting improvements I could make to the article, so I have posted a reformatted & extracted version of the article here -

Here’s the original piece that this is in regards to:
I built a code/legislation thing and then wrote a love letter about it and if you're nerdy and into #Legislation #CivicTech #RulesAsCode then you might enjoy it. Not normally active here nowadays but this is for the old crew XD. https://t.co/9LFqVGNiS6

Earlier this year I wrote a love letter to the parliamentary counsels of the world; I’ve just posted a follow up giving context to what I’m proposing with regards to three existing standards. #AkomaNtoso #ELI and #USLM

The project sits under The Digital Legal Systems Lab, which is a joint venture between Brainbox & Verb's Hamish Fraser (@verbman). It's a great case study of exciting things to come in the #LawAsCode space. We hope you can join us to hear more about it!

We're excited to debut a #LawAsCode project at @TechweekNZ next week! On Tuesday 16 May at 10am NZT, we'll be presenting a webinar about how we've supported NZ's water services regulator to enable API reporting of water quality data. (1/2)

Everything about this… thank you @verbman for this delightful and incredibly useful nerdyness ❤️

When you finish a PhD in computer science, they take you to a special room and explain that you must never use recursion in real life. Its only purpose is to make programming hard for undergrads.

@CovidSafeNZ Absolutely. I don’t understand why there isn’t a team just dedicated to ventilation - communications, business and schools outreach, minimum standards policy ahead of winter. The fact that there isn’t a cross-ministry group urgently looking at mitigations like this is appalling.

Neighbours objected to the private fireworks display when they learnt of it before Christmas. Volunteer firefighters were there all night.
