Ran across this -- might be of some use. 

It's a great movie -- highly recommended. FUBAR is a running joke on one of the privates in Tom Hank's WWII platoon, who takes about 1/2 the movie to figure out what it means. 

 But it got corrupted under some forum re-do, so is pretty unreadable.

Re-watching "Saving Private Ryan"? I was on Memorial Day. 

There are interesting related subtleties in connection with option strategy replication by pure dynamic trading of the underlying. I am thinking of both portfolio insurance and the old paper by Carr and Jarrow:  "The stop-loss start-gain paradox and option valuation".  Basically, suppose  the underl...

OK, go for it. Here's the Washington Post db of  fatal police shootings since 2015 , which was mentioned in the articles. Here's a link to FBI  crime arrest statistics , a sample  guide , a sample  table (which has ethnicity data).. There should be similar data for other years.  Obviously it requir...

OK, go for it.

I don't think that the reference prices on the blog are accurate to all digits stated. I tried a Julia implementation of the cos method, using arbitrary precision real and complex balls, and end up with 7.9588781132567682852132606076142930308986569372596 for strike 80. The error with the table is -...

Just to address the last point - she is a reasonably famous and credentialed author and “intellectual” with a political philosophy that aligns with the WSJ, so no mystery there.

agreed, although one might say "aligns with typical WSJ editorial opinion", as distinguished from "the news".

OK, guys -- here's a  link to the Mac Donald piece that will be valid for a few days -- fair use, IMO. I am genuinely interested in intelligent objections to it. It needs a rewrite. It's all over the place and misleading. It seems to be saying in the santy clause (last paragraph) that it's all Obam...

One good (and generic) thing about racists is that they are unbelievably stupid: (from the Mac Donald piece linked above) The latest in a series of studies undercutting the claim of systemic police bias was published in August 2019 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The researc...

Re "how can we determine ..", as Justice Stewart famously said,
  "I know it when I see it."

 Ah - yes, the entirely unbiased view of Rupert Murdoch. I guess we should all just go home now. Honestly, you're not that dumb?

No, the article is by Heather Mac Donald. That tells me you didn't even read it. If you do, and have some argument against it beyond name calling, let's hear it.  

You are right. That has something to do with what is happening in the streets at this very moment. Judge: You're charge with 3 counts of looting. How do you plead? Defendant: Absolutely not guilty, your honor! Because of Trump's racism, I felt compelled to lift a few sneakers!  Lucky guy! he made i...

Looked briefly, but got a headache. Your best bet might be to browse papers that cite it, and hope one of them helps you out.
