Racial injustice and segregation have existed for a long time, beginning with figures like Hitler and Custer, and African Americans faced segregation from a young age. While laws have integrated areas like sports and workplaces, more subtle forms of segregation and discrimination persist, especially in the form of hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan. To truly overcome racial segregation, people of all backgrounds must understand each other's experiences, unite against discrimination, and defeat the underlying ideologies that promote inequality and division between groups.
Timelines at Scale (Raffi Krikorian - VP of Engineering at Twitter)
Presentation by Raffi Krikorian, VP of Engineering at Twitter, on scaling Twitter to over 150 million active users with redis and other architectural approaches
Evolution of The Twitter Stack
The document summarizes the evolution of Twitter's technology stack over time as Twitter grew exponentially. It started as a simple Ruby on Rails application on MySQL in 2006. By 2010, Twitter had to decompose the monolithic application and transition services to the JVM for improved performance and scalability. Twitter developed open source projects like Finagle, Zipkin, Scalding, and contributed to Mesos to distribute applications across a cluster. These transitions helped Twitter scale to support over 500 million tweets per day while improving reliability and reducing costs.
Twitter - Architecture and Scalability lessons
Twitter faced scaling issues as its user base grew to over 350,000 users. It addressed this through caching, partitioning its database, abuse prevention techniques, and an asynchronous, event-driven architecture. Lessons included planning for scaling from the start, optimizing databases and caching, and creating an open API to power growth.
Wikileak’s Prosecution or Persecution: Is this Western Democracy?
If there is no difference between how democratic and Oligarchy Authoritarian political leaders think and behave, then, what does Western Democracy really stand for in the global political world? Why should the rest of the world listen to Western Democracy? Is Western Democracy really democratic? Is human rights really practiced in Western Democracy? These questions are being raised, because, what is preached in Western Democracy does not seem to tally with what is being practiced in the issues of Wikileaks and Jean Assange. Wikileaks and Jean Assange deserve a better democratic treatment than the ones they are getting now.

Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton organizing the first women's rights convention in 1848, the divide in the abolitionist movement over women's rights, and Susan B. Anthony and Sojourner Truth being arrested for voting in 1872 as only men had the right at the time. The document also discusses the role of women's organizations in advocating for social reforms like temperance, suffrage, equal pay, and other issues.

Racial injustice has occurred throughout U.S. history, targeting African Americans as early as the 1930s when they had to fight for equal rights and treatment. Racial injustice persists today in various forms, including through groups like the Ku Klux Klan, and can only be defeated by uniting against it and walking in each other's shoes to overcome prejudices. Professionals in all fields still face challenges of racial injustice and must continue fighting for equality.

Freedom of association
This document discusses arguments for and against states having the right to control immigration based on freedom of association. It summarizes Christopher Wellman's argument that states have an absolute right to control immigration, but argues this clashes with rights of refugees and immigrants. The document proposes weighing competing rights, as in US Supreme Court cases, to determine on a case-by-case basis when a state can justify restricting immigration based on freedom of association without overriding other important rights.

In Brave New World, government controls access to information through conditioning citizens from birth and keeping them constantly distracted. While past governments used overt censorship, the World State in the novel achieves control more subtly through technologies like soma and conditioning. Some modern governments also take more subtle approaches to information control compared to obvious historical censorship, such as withholding certain data like disease cures.

The document discusses pet overpopulation and euthanasia. It provides statistics showing that millions of cats and dogs are entering animal shelters each year, with millions being euthanized due to overcrowding. Contributing factors to overpopulation include owner neglect, abandonment, lack of spaying/neutering, and irresponsible breeding. Efforts to address overpopulation include low-cost spay/neuter programs, various contraceptive methods, and legislation in some areas requiring adoption animals be altered. No-kill shelters aim to adopt out animals rather than euthanize those deemed treatable or manageable.
Criminal U: Behind the barbed wire and bars of America's prisons
The document introduces a new book called "Criminal U" by Andrew Scot Bolsinger. It discusses Bolsinger's experience and education in America's penal institutions. Criminal U will provide insights into the U.S. prison system through first-person accounts and data. It aims to educate readers and catalyze discussion on issues such as recidivism, the school-to-prison pipeline, and mass incarceration. Criminal U will also be an online platform connecting supporters and providing resources on incarceration issues.

Family Courts in Crisis (FCC) newsletter is the culmination of 5 years of research into the problems victims of domestic violence (DV) are encountering within the courts in Europe, North America, and Australia. The amount of literature, studies, reports, and statistical data produced in the past few decades is over-whelming; and while I have studies thousands and thousands of pages as well as ‘listened’ to hundreds of testimonies on Internet chats in English, Spanish and French, I have only just begun to cover the results of my research & enormity and gravity of the problem in FCC newsletters.
