http://www.npr.org/2016/10/19/498582157/propublica-reveals-discriminatory-pricing-by-computer-algorithms
昨天听NPR讲的,Princeton Review的SAT prep courses charge亚裔更多的钱。
Asians were nearly twice as likely to be charged a higher price in SAT prep
courses by Princeton Review than non-Asians because they're Asian or because
they live in certain ZIP codes.

intentional discrimination against Asians. They drew their lines for their

Department of Homeland Security officials confirmed Tuesday they are working

上个月初,我的大女儿宣布,她想参加1月21日的华盛顿妇女游行(WMW)。我惊呆了。迄
今为止,我13岁的女儿的生活——和Instagram动态——一直充斥着家庭作业、各种爱
好、YouTube明星、衣服和连连爆发的中学生友谊风波。这没什么好惊讶的:在她这个
年龄的时候,在伦敦长大的我关注的也是类似的事情。但我从未有过游行的念头——在
玛格丽特•撒切尔(Margaret Thatcher)的时代,伦敦郊区中产阶级家庭的孩子不
会做这种事情。
2017年的美国是一个神奇的地方。自从去年大选转为唇枪舌剑以来,我的女儿们就被政
治辩论迷住了。这或许归因于她们有一个从事媒体工作的母亲;另一方面,我女儿想去
参加游行的一个原因是她在中学里的朋友们也打算参加。
尽管人们很容易轻视这种突如其来的政治积极性,认为这不过是一种青少年时尚,这种
现象的确反映出一股更广泛的趋势。无论是好是坏,特朗普就任总统在美国引发了一场
针对政府和民主本质的令人惊异的新辩论。事实上,当未来的历史学家回顾当前这场纷

传川普广佈眼线 确保内阁首长听命行事
从政治素人到白宫主人,美国地產大亨总统川普为了确定内阁首长忠心不二,听命行事
,精心在各个部会安排政务人员眼线,专门向白宫汇报动态。
「华盛顿邮报」(Washington Post)今天引述资深政府官员披露,负责监视环境保护
署署长普鲁特(Scott Pruitt)的政务人员,经常擅自提供上任才4周的普鲁特和他的
幕僚建议,普鲁特愤而把他挡在很多幕僚会议之外。
在五角大厦,监视国防部长马提斯(Jim Mattis)的是1名前陆战队军官、战斗机驾驶
员,这名眼线被称为「政委」。「政委」是前苏联时期的官衔,指奉派到军中单位确保
指挥官忠诚的共党干部。
华邮引述8名在执政团队内外的官员表示,川普大多数内阁成员的领导团队尚未到位,
甚至连左右手也没著落。白宫却已经成立一个由有影响力资深幕僚组成的小圈圈,负责
监视内阁首长的忠诚度。
根据非营利媒体ProPublica根据资讯自由法(Freedom of Information Act)取得的文
件,这些顶著资深白宫顾问头衔的政务人员组成的影子政府,安插在各个部会,办公地

我花了一刻钟时间来读这个据说是外泄的草案,看来对我们有用的只有这么几条:
回美证放宽;
H1b失业后再找工作的期限放长
EAD继续从宽
假设这个文件确实是真的,那么说明奥政府有短期内绕过国会在行政层面做小规模移民改革的打算。趁方案还没全定型(因为有外泄,所以可以肯定最后出台的会有不同),我们的移民协会应该开展游说行动,争取一些类似二零零七485大潮那样的好处,因为那一类的行动是行政层面就可以做到、不必等立法来改革的

Deadly Medicine
Prescription drugs kill some 200,000 Americans every year. Will that
number go up, now that most clinical trials are conducted overseas—on
sick Russians, homeless Poles, and slum-dwelling Chinese—in places where
regulation is virtually nonexistent, the F.D.A. doesn’t reach, and
“mistakes” can end up in pauper’s graves? The authors investigate the
globalization of the pharmaceutical industry, and the U.S. Government’s
failure to rein in a lethal profit machine.

Freddie Mac Betting Against Struggling Homeowners
January 30, 2012
Freddie Mac, a taxpayer-owned mortgage company, is supposed to make
homeownership easier. One thing that makes owning a home more affordable is
getting a cheaper mortgage.
But Freddie Mac has invested billions of dollars betting that U.S.
homeowners won't be able to refinance their mortgages at today's lower rates
, according to an investigation by NPR and ProPublica, an independent,
nonprofit newsroom.

Fink是BlackRock的CEO。他对学院派的观点的回应让我印象很深。他说,这些quant finance的
