The reason, of course, is b/c Shotspotter is giving results that show a racial disparity.
B/c the 'process' here can't be critiqued as racist (as it would if it involved humans), the Mayor is instead just unplugging what is indisputably a valuable tool.
@sweatystartup
I am rather shocked at the comments here and your entitled post. These people are all struggling and just scraping by. Dishing 1 star reviews bc of their car… honestly this strikes me as the essence of white privilege. Scummy comment, not a good look.
@eyeslasho
In a sense, this conversation is being forced by "antiracism" which believes that any racial disparity in 'desirable' areas (education, politics, high income employment categories) is a result of structural racism & demands affirmative action to compensate.
You realize $TSLA IR is regularly and consistently violating Reg FD when they 'walk' sell-side estimates down just before releasing their own consensus.
This has been happening for years. This is a clear SEC rules violation.
Another analyst cuts Tesla delivery numbers just before Martin compiles his “sell side consensus.”
410k looks a lot better compared to 425k than 475k. Of course, Tesla has gone ex growth in deliveries and is about to report negative yoy revenue growth.

Disagree, the decision more than anything implicates the Board is having fallen short of disclosure & fiduciary responsibilities.

This is wonderful, vulnerable post.
However, I think you aren't reflecting on how you also 'dish it out' on others or viewpoints that contradict yours.
My recollection is that you are just as pejorative & condescending to others.

Honestly, I don't think it's discrimination more than just fear of hiring someone who is uppity and overly litigious and may perceive a slight or aggression in every innocuous situation.
@lesypersound
Your logic is obviously flawed. If you want lower housing costs, you have to lower actual costs for developers. BCH would've increased it, requiring higher prices to justify construction decisions.
@Suntimes
If the result gives us an outcome we don't like (racial disparity) we blame that the process (over-policing, bias) is racist.
If the process can't be blamed (b/c it's a computer), we just want to get rid of it altogether.
Hear no evil, see no evil.

Your account, which is a play by play emotional narration of the markets, is really funny and reminds me of sportscasters giving play by play action of football games.
@eyeslasho
I think any advantage is rationalized away - everyone is guilty of this - I suspect it has to do w/ a narrative of "white supremacy" or "anti-racism" which leads to a view of entitlement.
To be clear, I don't know what's more stupid, that Reg FD itself is a stupid rule, or the way the SEC enforces insider trading stupid, or it's just stupid that Reg FD is regularly violated w/ no enforcement.
Regardless, $TSLA is breaking Reg FD & should be sanctioned.
@BradMunchen
I dislike the way he attacks others but I think this is too far. Attack the argument, not the man.

Thank you. I Just realized you are criminally under-followed relative to the amount of useful information and solid 'takes' you put out there. Bizarre.
It's reasonable to believe someone who failed citations and copied something as banal as acknowledgments from other scholars... probably either faked or manipulated data to match pre-determined conclusions.
The next question is whether Claudine Gay faked her data. If that turns out to be so, she’s finished and so is

I guess we agree to disagree here. I've heard from Willkie, Latham, etc... a large part of white collar defense in NYC is insider trading defense & they want to see a big successful prosecution or two before taking you on as a partner.

No, not the date the sentence commences. BOP calculates release date once you surrender (using the judgment order).
Conviction itself occurs at sentencing. The sentencing date OR the date judge signs judgement. Not sure which. (Usually these are the same date though.)
