Informational Inequality: How High Frequency Traders Use Premier Access To Information To Prey On Institutional Investors, Jacob Adrian
Informational Inequality: How High Frequency Traders Use Premier Access To Information To Prey On Institutional Investors, Jacob Adrian
Duke Law & Technology Review
In recent months, Wall Street has been whipped into a frenzy following the March 31st release of Michael Lewis’ book “Flash Boys.” In the book, Lewis characterizes the stock market as being rigged, which has institutional investors and outside observers alike demanding some sort of SEC action. The vast majority of this criticism is aimed at high-frequency traders, who use complex computer algorithms to execute trades several times faster than the blink of an eye. One of the many complaints against high-frequency traders is over parasitic trading practices, such as front-running. Front-running, in the era of high-frequency trading, is best …
Weathering The Nest: Privacy Implications Of Home Monitoring For The Aging American Population, Jillisa Bronfman
Weathering The Nest: Privacy Implications Of Home Monitoring For The Aging American Population, Jillisa Bronfman
Duke Law & Technology Review
The research in this paper will seek to ascertain the extent of personal data entry and collection required to enjoy at least the minimal promised benefits of distributed intelligence and monitoring in the home. Particular attention will be given to the abilities and sensitivities of the population most likely to need these devices, notably the elderly and disabled. The paper will then evaluate whether existing legal limitations on the collection, maintenance, and use of such data are applicable to devices currently in use in the home environment and whether such regulations effectively protect privacy. Finally, given appropriate policy parameters, the …
The Red Dawn Of Geoengineering: First Step Toward An Effective Governance For Stratospheric Injections, Edward J. Larson
The Red Dawn Of Geoengineering: First Step Toward An Effective Governance For Stratospheric Injections, Edward J. Larson
Duke Law & Technology Review
A landmark report by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) issued in 2015 is the latest in a series of scientific studies to assess the feasibility of geoengineering with stratospheric aerosols to offset anthropogenic global warming and to conclude that they offer a possibly viable supplement or back-up alternative to reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The known past effect of major explosive volcanic eruptions temporarily moderating average worldwide temperatures provides evidence in support of this once taboo form of climate intervention. In the most extensive study to date, an elite NAS committee now suggests that such processes for adjusting global temperature, …
Riley V. California And The Stickiness Principle, Steven I. Friedland
Riley V. California And The Stickiness Principle, Steven I. Friedland
Duke Law & Technology Review
In Fourth Amendment decisions, different concepts, facts and assumptions about reality are often tethered together by vocabulary and fact, creating a ‘Stickiness Principle.’ In particular, form and function historically were considered indistinguishable, not as separate factors. For example, “containers” carried things, “watches” told time, and “phones” were used to make voice calls. Advancing technology, though, began to fracture this identity and the broader Stickiness Principle. In June 2014, Riley v. California and its companion case, United States v. Wurie, offered the Supreme Court an opportunity to begin untethering form and function and dismantling the Stickiness Principle. Riley presented the question …
