Michiko Kakutani didn't work for the Book Review. She was the chief book critic of the arts section. The Book Review is a separate organization within the NYT, with an entirely separate editing staff. Sure sometimes critics like Kakutani and A.O. Scott would review things there, but it was always an assignment, not representative of the NYTBR. Generally, editors in the NYTBR strive to pick folks who are "interesting" to review the book rather than not, which leads to spicy reviews because they want to sell the Sunday section.
Seems pretty clear that they could decrypt the traffic they were interested in, they also talk about 5 years of retention of all traffic that they can decrypt at anytime. Sound familiar?

So as a married man, I use partner: it fits with my understanding of marriage, we’re partners, we both have a hand in managing a household. It feels good to say.
I’m four instructions away from implementing the compressed extensions, and probably next week I’ll tackle the control and status registers. It uses an open source tool chain and is formally verified using riscv-formal. My hope is to eventually be able to compile some rust and get an fpga to blink an led :)
It accesses the OS keychain to get the right password. I don't use offlineimap -- I use mbsync instead which has a PassCmd option where you can pass in a shell command (e.g. getpasswd <imap-server> <imap-user>). And another tool to add passwords to the GNOME Keychain:
Are you sure what you found is not just Simpson's paradox?
When I look at the 2 KM plots for white/blacks, they are mostly the same. It's pretty clear that the model is not prejudiced against blacks, in fact it's somewhat prejudiced against whites. [1]
Your main editorial claim is that whites tend to be misclassified as "good" and blacks as "bad."
But I think what's actually happening is that algorithm is more likely to misclassify low_risk as "good", and high_risk as "bad".[2] Combine that with vastly more whites than blacks being low_risk (as you show earlier) and you get the observed "injustice".
I'll also note that the KM for whites flatten out at 2 years, unlike for blacks. This is actually a big deal if statistically significant. But that's a separate conversation.
Footnotes:
1 - this is acknowledged in methodology page "black defendants who scored higher did recidivate slightly more often than white defendants (63 percent vs. 59 percent)."
2 - why that is I don't yet fully understand (and I'd like to) but it looks's to be simple math that follows from low risk mostly not recidivating, and high risk mostly yes recidivating
Does this sentence "Northpointe does offer a custom test for women, but it is not in use in Broward County.
" imply that the base COMPAS model does not take gender into account?
