Khurram Chhipa currently serves as General Counsel at Halborn, a leading cybersecurity company in the Web3 space. With expertise spanning blockchain security, compliance, and digital risk management, he brings a unique perspective to the intersection of law and technology. Outside of work, Khurram enjoys spending time with family and friends. In this episode… Artificial intelligence is changing how cybersecurity teams detect and respond to threats. What once required manual monitoring has evolved into an adaptive solution that uses predictive modeling to identify risks sooner. While AI can strengthen security defenses, it also raises questions about accuracy and the need for human oversight.  For legal and security teams working in fast-moving sectors like blockchain, AI offers efficiency yet also introduces new risks. Large language models (LLMs) can help general counsels generate contracts and prepare for negotiations, yet they require human oversight to spot and correct errors. That's why companies need to develop clear playbooks, train teams, and implement a continuous review process to ensure responsible AI use. For security teams, the same principle applies. While predictive AI tools can identify threats earlier, security teams should also test their incident response readiness through tabletop exercises and encourage employees to adopt a don't trust, verify" mindset to guard against threats like deepfakes.  In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels talk with Khurram Chhipa, General Counsel at Halborn, about how AI is transforming cybersecurity. Khurram explains how AI is reshaping threat detection, why human oversight is essential when using AI in legal and security contexts, and provides practical strategies for implementing safeguards. He also describes the growing AI arms race and its impact on cybersecurity, and he provides tips on how companies can mitigate AI deepfake threats through custom training and implementing advanced security measures.

The Japanese government said Thursday that it will provide support to households and medical workers struggling with elevated prices as part of a planned economic package.

In this episode, I take a closer look at a topic that many BigLaw lawyers misunderstand: profitability. Most partners focus on the firm's overall "profits per equity partner" (PEP), but that number tells only part of the story. There are other profitability numbers - internal, often unseen analyses that many attorneys don't focus on but in fact shape how practices and partners are viewed, rewarded, and resourced. I explain how these shadow numbers differ from the publicly announced firm metrics, how factors like leverage, write-offs, and politics distort perceptions of profitability, and why understanding these differences can make a difference to you at your firm. Knowing how your firm evaluates profitability in different ways and how to influence those numbers is a crucial career advantage. At a Glance: 00:00 Introduction to the concept of firm profitability 01:20 Why PEP only tells part of the story and how shadow P&Ls work 02:05 How internal accounting and practice-level metrics shape profitability 03:27 Defining "shadow P&L" and how practice groups interpret performance differently 04:01 How leverage and write-offs impact profitability and risk across practices 07:14 Examples of approaches and how accounting treatments reshape profit 10:55 Why long-term relationship value can be less valued in firmwide numbers 12:18 How firms use both official and shadow P&Ls to evaluate partners and practices 13:30 How politics and perception influence profitability outcomes 15:17 How to challenge assumptions and advocate for your practice's true value 18:14 Final reflection and wrap-up   Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts & Spotify Do you enjoy listening to Big Law Life?  Please consider rating and reviewing the show!

Recorded live at Fintech Americas in Miami, Florida, Eyal is joined by author and advisor Chris Colbert, former Managing Director at the Harvard Innovation Lab and Partner at Digital Fuel Capital. Technological innovation is often a double-edged sword; despite our best intentions, the progress we make often comes with unintended consequences. As open banking and other technological initiatives change the nature of money itself, we must be thoughtful and intentional about the direction of that change, with a particular focus on human values. This episode looks at open banking and technology in general through a philosophical lens, asking how our innovations can help bring us closer to each other and closer to understanding ourselves. Eyal and Chris discuss the negative impact of technology, the role of humanism in designing better systems, and how open banking has a part to play. Specifically they discuss:The three technological pillars of societyModern negative consequencesHow humanism leads to better systems Measures for a successful societyKeeping the human at the center

The Government says it is taking significant steps to improve police oversight after a damning IPCA report on the handling of complaints against former Deputy Police Commissioner Jevon McSkimming - before his recent trial. Instead of investigating anonymous complaints accusing McSkimming of being a sexual predator, police prosecuted the woman for digital harassment. Police Commissioner Richard Chambers says the watchdog report made appalling reading - and showed a clear lack of leadership and integrity at the highest level. Last week, McSkimming pleaded guilty to having child sexual exploitation and bestiality material on work devices NZ Herald investigative reporter Jared Savage says the then-Commissioner, Andrew Coster, knew some details of the relationship. "Essentially, they've just accepted McSkimming's version of events, that this was an extra-marital affair that went wrong and this woman's out to get revenge."

Voters have rejected property-tax measures proposed by two school districts in the Wilson County News coverage area; results of a third proposal remained undecided as of press time Nov. 10. The East Central, La Vernia, and Nixon Smiley Consolidated independent school districts (ISDs) all had voter approval tax ratification elections (VATRE) on local ballots. The measures proposed moving several cents from each district's interest and sinking (I&S) portion of their property tax rates — used to pay down debt — and adding these cents to their maintenance and operations (M&O) portion of the tax rate; this would allow the districts...Article Link

The salient point of today's discussion pertains to the impending adverse weather conditions across various states as a fast-moving cold front approaches the Northeast. We elucidate the potential ramifications of this meteorological phenomenon, including gusty winds and scattered showers, which are anticipated to affect numerous regions. Furthermore, we highlight the marine gales and the resultant hazardous surf conditions on the Great Lakes and Gulf of Maine, as well as the marginal flood risks in western Washington and northwest Oregon. Our analysis extends to specific states, detailing the surf hazards in California and the gale conditions prevalent in Michigan and Ohio. As we conclude, we emphasize the importance of remaining vigilant and informed as these weather patterns develop.Takeaways:* A fast-moving cold front is expected to sweep through the Northeast today, bringing gusty winds and scattered showers.* Marine gales and rough surf conditions are anticipated on the Great Lakes and Gulf of Maine due to the approaching weather system.* A marginal flood risk persists over parts of western Washington and northwest Oregon as a wet Pacific pattern commences.* Residents of Mason County should prepare for potential river rises later in the week, particularly on the Skokomish River.* In California, hazardous surf conditions are anticipated as a strengthening Pacific system begins to affect the Bay Area today.* Marine hazards are prevalent across multiple states, including gale conditions and significant wave heights on regional lakes.Sources[NWS | https://www.weather.gov/][WPC Day 1 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/#page=ero][NHC | https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/][USGS Earthquake Feeds | https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/][NWS Bay Area hazard page | https://www.weather.gov/mtr/][NWS AFDMTR 4:05 AM PST Nov 3 | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=mtr&product=AFD&issuedby=MTR][NDBC Marine Forecast KMTR | https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/Forecasts/FZUS56.KMTR.html][SFGATE forecast update, published today | https://www.sfgate.com/weather/article/bay-area-widespread-rain-thunder-wind-weather-21134293.php][NWS Gray ME hazards | https://www.weather.gov/gyx/][NWS Boston/BOX marine hazards page | https://www.weather.gov/box/marine][NWS Detroit AFD 4:46 AM EST Nov 3 | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=DTX&product=AFD&issuedby=DTX][USCG/NWS Sector Detroit marine dashboard (Lake Erie waveheights/gale) | https://www.weather.gov/dtx/uscg_sectordetroit][NWS Cleveland Nearshore/LE Marine Forecast | https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/Forecasts/FZUS61.KCLE.html][NWS Portland hazards | https://www.weather.gov/pqr/][NWS Marine Forecast KPQR | https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/Forecasts/FZUS56.KPQR.html][NWS Seattle Hydrologic Outlook 3:10 AM PST Nov 3 | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=WAZ321&warncounty=WAC045&product1=Hydrologic+Outlook][WPC Day 1 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/#page=ero] This is a public episode.

In this episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, host Bethany Alvaro speaks with Isaac Ohlin, general manager of policy and services at RSL NSW, about the establishment of the Defence and Veterans' Service Commission – launched on 29 September 2025 in response to the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide (2021). The pair discuss the commission's purpose, challenges and impact on Australia's defence and veteran communities, including: The commission's role in providing independent oversight of the government's response to more than 100 royal commission recommendations. The urgency of addressing veteran suicide, with over 1,800 deaths since 1997, and the need for transparent, systemic reform. Barriers to timely action, including the complexity and sensitivity of suicide prevention within the defence ecosystem. The importance of cultural and systemic change within the ADF to promote help-seeking behaviour and improve wellbeing. The critical transition period for veterans leaving service – identifying gaps in support, responsibility between Defence and the Department of Veterans' Affairs, and the role of ex-service and community organisations in bridging those gaps. Measures of success for the commission, such as progress on recommendations, stakeholder engagement and, ultimately, a reduction in suicidality rates. Ways the broader community and employers can support veterans through understanding, inclusion and employment opportunities. Ohlin concludes that while the commission's creation is a positive and necessary step, "the hard work is still ahead", requiring collaboration across government, ex-service organisations and the wider public to deliver meaningful change.

During their regular session earlier this year, North Dakota lawmakers formed its own version of President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. It's a task force, as opposed to a department, and state Auditor Josh Gallion, who is participating in the meetings, said they've been calling it TOGE to avoid confusion with the federal efforts. But it's been making good progress, including reviewing a big problem the state has when it comes to implementing policy. Namely, that nobody bothers to define what the success of that policy might look like. "I think what we learned a lot was we don't have performance measures," Gallion said on this episode of Plain Talk. He pointed out that the state often creates things, like economic development programs aimed at creating jobs or drawing workers to the state, without any sort of a mechanism for measuring how many jobs were created, or how many workers were inspired to move here. "Is the money that we're putting into these programs, are they achieving desirable results? You know, if we're going to put a million dollars into a workforce program, is it affecting change? Is it moving the needle? Are we bringing workforce in? And how do we calculate some of that?" he asked. Gallion also addressed controversy over an audit of Stark County. The report from his office concluded that the county government was breaking state law capping general fund carry-over balances at no more than 75% of the previous year's revenues. That report also included a response from the county that said "we agree" with the finding, only the county says that Gallion's office added those words, and they didn't agree to it. "We wanted them to state we agree or disagree," Gallion said. "That should be the beginning of every response." He also claimed that the change was made only after consultation with Stark County, though a quote from the county auditor indicated that she didn't expect her county's comments to be modified. "I wrote our responses to the audit for Stark County and I don't think they should have changed them," Stark County Auditor/Treasurer Karen Richard told the Dickinson Press, "but I do appreciate them clarifying why they changed the language." Also on this episode, co-host Chad Oban and I discuss the standoff between Gov. Kelly Armstrong, Senate Majority Leader David Hogue, and Senate Minority Leader Kathy Hogan over new appointments to the state Ethics Committee.

On this episode: Since becoming a state in 1907, Oklahoma has placed more than 450 ballot measures before voters — a mix of constitutional amendments, citizen initiatives, and veto referendums that reflect over a century of evolving politics. Geoff Pallay returns to host the most recent episode of our Historical Ballot Measure Series with the help of Victoria Rose from Ballotpedia's ballot measures team. Oklahoma's long history is filled with interesting and nationally significant measures, with landmark votes such as the early failed effort to grant women's suffrage in 1910, the state's history with gambling and right-to-work laws, and the 1992 amendment requiring voter approval for revenue-raising bills. In more recent decades, the state tackled big debates like Medicaid expansion, its split decisions on marijuana legalization, minimum wage hikes, and more. Explore Oklahoma's Factbook here: https://ballotpedia.org/Oklahoma_Ballot_Measures:_Historical_Ballot_Measures_Factbook Listen to our Historical Ballot Measure Series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtP8LWIl9mMNHPEjGV4G235vMd8bOR1_4 Complete a brief 5 minute survey to review the show and share some feedback: https://forms.gle/zPxYSog5civyvEKX6 Sign up for our Newsletters: https://ballotpedia.org/Ballotpedia_Email_Updates Stream "On the Ballot" on Spotify or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Mendelian randomization analyses suggest a causal association, albeit with context-dependent differences; genetic liability for cognitive performance also predicted alcohol use disorder in a US-based sample.
