The world owes Carl Malamud a big thank you. More than 28,000 of the world’s public safety codes are online because of him — and he’s not done yet.
Public libraries used to be the only place to access public safety codes for free. That changed in 2008 when Google gave Malamud $2 million to support his joint-initiative with Law.gov to “make all primary legal materials in the United States available to all.” Malamud spent a lot of that dough on other projects. But recently he went on a mission to print, scan and upload millions of pages of the world’s technical regulations to his website and the nonprofit Public.resource.org site. We’re talking thousands of building, electricity and fire codes. Speedy Malamud got it done in two years. We suspect the use of a time machine.
