It's that time of the year & we're talking syllabi: How to create or tweak, how to co-design with students, whether or not they're a contract, what purposes they serve & whose voices are included and excluded. Here's a THREAD about ANNOTATING your syllabus with your students 1/10
A bit of context: In 2016, I started using @hypothes_is open web annotation in my courses. Students read texts together, sometimes publicly though often privately, and use H for collaborative discussion & to deepen convo around topics & ideas based upon interests & questions 2/10
In addition to collaboratively annotating texts for discussion throughout the semester, my students and I also use @hypothes_is to annotate our syllabus together. And we do so during the very first week of class. This activity serves a number of very important functions. 3/10

This Times article "Silicon Valley Courts Brand-Name Teachers, Raising Ethics Issues" makes me want to vomit nyti.ms/2x02IyB THREAD
I'm a former NYC public schools educator. Yes, teachers are grossly underpaid, lack material resources & deserve far greater social status.
But is becoming a "brand-name" teacher a sustainable, ethical, or effective means of addressing systemic inequity in American education? No.

Some interesting things I've discovered.

JFK died at 46
Jackie died at 64

Mirrored

Jackie's Birth is 7/28/1929 >> 38
Jackie's Death is 5/19/1995 >> 38

Jackie lived 23,671 days >> 19

Jackie died 10 days shy of JFK's 77th birthdate

There was 11,136 days between JFK & ...
… Jackie's deaths.

11136 >> 111360 >> 11/13/60 - 12 days shy of JFK Jr.'s Birth

11136 >> 12

On Jackie's 70'th birthday, she would have been 25,567 days old.

25567 >> 25 - JFK Jr's Birthdate

What happens when you apply the delta of 12?

You get 25555 >> 22 - JFK's ...
… assassination date.

What date falls on the 25,555 day after Jackie's birthdate?

7/16/1999 - the date of the crash.

Jackie's birth date is associated with JFK Jr's birth.

JFK Jr's fake death is associated with his fathers death.

More mirrors.

VOL CONTROL/VOL TARGETING

What that got to do with the markets right now?

Well, inverted $VIX has been lagging the #equity index’s and that is a big deal. The reason it is a big deal is because the of VOL TARGETING
2/
Volatility targeting/control strategies aim to control risk by BUYING $VIX as $SPX drops and liquidating $SPX as $VIX rises.

When $SPX makes new lows but $VIX does not the implication is these insurance products continue to buy #ES_F futures while sell $VIX
3/

So what so we have here? We have an entire sector that has built a model where a divergent $VIX = increased $SPX buying via #ES_F futures.

This strategy is roughly $1 tillion in notional and like $SKEW is showing, hopelessly underhedged vs a downside break

Kicking off #WalkBikePlaces with an infrastructure tour on @BlueBikesNOLA. Several under way now; I'm on the one that looks at public art, placemaking. #bikeNOLA
First stop: Jackson Square, National Historic Site, named for Andrew J. Led battle that saved NOLA in 1812 but owned enslaved people. Should his statue come down? #WalkBikePlaces
Beautiful murals! Families of Plessy and Ferguson reconciled with art in celebration. Studio BE right across the street--big studio space in covered warehouse. @BlueBikesNOLA station right here at park.

It's art up for review in opinions, of course I'm going to gravitate towards something shared with interest, when he didn't say a word for 2 days! Why was he there? #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
I went through every single video he released in hip hop to understand him not saying a word. Easy to work out, he's a very bitter man who has absorbed all his parents immigrant opinions at home #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
His parents are not middle class anywhere & neither is he #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai

This post, please, please read. This is what critical self-reflection and acting with intention and humility re: issues of #equity and racism can look like. Some highlights in this thread (but please read the whole thing) 👇🏾

@SchleiderJustin TY for your words & honesty. /1
"My children will be surrounded almost entirely by kids and adults who look and act like them. They will be educated during their most formidable years in a way that normalizes whiteness. Makes it the default.This will cause them irreparable harm." -@SchleiderJustin /2
"Yes, being raised in an all-white environment harms white people. We shut ourselves off from the humanity of others because we are not in the position of connecting with people who don’t look and act like us. This harms our souls." -@SchleiderJustin /3

#Thread #Equity: It is difficult to shake off #privilege. Difficult. And it is even harder to explain it to those who enjoy it.
I see so many men writing posts about sharing responsibilities at home, being participatory fathers, not dominating women etc.
This is great. So many are becoming "woke" and we must celebrate it. But here's the flip side and herein lies privilege.
