“You are being watched” was the tagline that opened every episode of the television series "Person of Interest," which ran from 2011 to 2016 and already feels ancient. The conceit of the show was that the good guys, aided by friendly artificial intelligence, could use information from a sea …
I often get asked for my advice on how to vote. I'm the first to concede these requests come from a very niche slice of the electorate -- that tiny remnant of people who know who I am, value my opinion and share my exasperation with both parties.
