Except Maymin 2011 fails to even establish that his narrow definition of "markets are efficient" (specifically, finding a profitable technical analysis) is actually in NP.

This looks like another instance of slapping a pseudo-scientific veneer on top of conclusions driven more by untrained gut feeling in order to pretend one's subjective impressions are firmly grounded in objective reality. It's like the phrenology of programming languages.
What sort of problems? I don't hear about many cases of women accusing other women of using their status as manager for sexual harassment.
Well, perhaps that definition of bias is specific to strictly political topics rather than questions about the observable effects of various actions. Even so, by the standard of shifting views a certain direction, does Google present as much of a threat to democracy as higher education does?
The core of the "bad investment" argument is that the money doesn't necessarily all get spent either way.
renters see little reward or penalty for being poor neighbors
"We have chosen not to renew your lease."
> The basic argument is as follows. For simplicity but without loss of generality, assume there are n past price changes, each of which is either UP (1) or DOWN (0). How many possible trading strategies are there? Suppose we allow a strategy to either be long, short, or neutral to the market. Then the list of all possible strategies includes the strategy which would have been always neutral, the ones that would have been always neutral but for the last day when it would have been either long or short, and so on. In other words, there are three possibilities for each of the n past price changes; there are 3n possible strategies.
There are 2^n possible histories of length n. If a strategy maps each history to one of three positions, there are 3^(2^n) strategies that consider n bits of history.
As soon as my employer made it hard for me to download my W-2, I withdrew consent to only receive an electronic copy.
Eich was free to think whatever he wanted, and he spent many years doing exactly that. What he turned out not to be free to do was enforce certain ideals he held on others.
There is a mindset that's popular among programmers which says, "I cannot understand what anything does except by knowing all about its internals." Languages like Go let the programmer keep that mantra instead of understanding the things they use based on a description of external behavior.
Risk tolerance is, but refusing to diversify outside of real estate and precious metals is objectively a risky strategy without a history of outperforming lower-risk ones.
Why do you bring up the straw man of buying individual stocks? Trying to get clever about picking stocks and when to buy/sell is directly contrary to the course's advice. Nobody but you seems to be recommending a non-diversified approach here, and you seem to hold some strange ideas as to the historic performance of various asset classes.
If whether they're getting arrested is your concern, there's no need to worry. Simply being a white supremacist doesn't get you arrested. Though it looks to me like the thread started over the question of what sort of non-government concession a tolerant society owes to white supremacists and the like.
