But if binodality is really strong in early level classes for that reason, it sorta suggests that maybe you should split into a fast and slow track, letting the experienced people maybe do 2 semesters in one class. Then the students with no

Why make a distinction between retail and individual investors? Either it's rigged, in which case it's almost certainly fraud, or it's not rigged and that means it's not exactly "house-always-wins". Like I said

Yes, agreed about the third paragraph. I think the question about diversity, though, often comes down to "why should you prioritize diversity over other factors", not "why should you not avoid hiring blacks/women etc

Most of the second paragraph is devoted to the fact that the talent base is becoming more diverse. That does not make diversity itself inherently valuable, it just means that it's a disadvantage to restrict yourself to a monocult

I don't think the imperfect mapping between IP and user is the real problem with tracking down botnet controllers. You have a network of compromised hosts, and you can disguise yourself as one of them. There are lots of schemes for thi
