Your kid's SAT score depends on your income and where you live

    This SAT scheme is just like options - how dare they be priced as a function of IV! I want to make my post-earnings returns in AMZN options FAIR and SQUARE. Instead, they're inflated before earnings, punishing hard working speculators such as myself who earned the right to otherwise triple my money when AMZN moves in my direction. Now I gotta settle for 50%!!

  5. I miss the analogy here. Are you referring to the non linearity in payoff profile of options? At the heart of the issue of this new score is the desire to turn college admissions from equal opportunities that are based on merit to equal outcomes where suddenly shady operators suggest that a college's highest goal ought to be the adjustment for race and parental income equality in the make up of the class body.

  6. Perhaps, but that remaining 1% certainly makes a hell of a lot of difference in athletics and basketball for example. Or do you think it is mere coincidence that black players dominate the NBA for decades? Or perhaps black guys just spend more time to play with balls and baskets in their free time because there is nothing else to do in their drug infested neighborhoods? I strongly believe the former, that different DNA between Caucasians and Blacks to a large degree explains the performance difference between black and white basketball players. And this is only the DNA part, differences in culture also play a large part in early life choices. Filipinos for example have an entirely different sense of work ethics and moral values than Japanese on average.

    It's deplorable. Still don't get why the FBI had to be involved. Feels like Trump loyalists striking at Hollywood

  8. What, that Warran claimed in college admissions and most recently to be of Native American descent when there was hardly a trace? Yes, quite deplorable to play the race card when it suits own interest but then deny race is an issue as part of other subjects.

    Why the FBI was involved? Because there are crimes that cross state lines for starters? Or federal wire fraud?

  9. Sir the point is simply that unless you are saying black men are chimps and black women are not, it's tough to explain away the statistics in that study without resorting to a non-genetic basis, notwithstanding the master race advocates here.

    Same page says that men are not that different from each other, which again, goes against the master race theory.

    To Warren's credit, she took a DNA test. Not her fault granny made up a story.

    As to the FBI? this looks like petty fraud, like a waste of money that the states should've resolved
