This makes it sound like the core team has abandoned the open source Snorkel project to work exclusively on closed source Snorkel Flow. Is that correct?

I found a couple Hacker News threads related to this breach [1,2]. Did anyone end up reporting it to the FTC? I just filed a tip with the SEC. Curious to see if they follow up.

In 2015 I was targeted by scammers who claimed to be from Microsoft and said that I had a virus on my Dell computer. Another graduate student had originally registered the computer with Dell technical support. When the hard drive failed I updated the phone number, but I had overlooked updating the name in the contact info. When the scammers called me they addressed me by the name of the other grad student. I tried to report this breach to Dell at the time, but I didn't get anywhere. Seeing this news reminded me of the incident and I searched to see if Dell had disclosed the breach. I found a few articles from early 2016 where others were reporting similar experiences but Dell was not admitting at that time that they had experienced a breach [1-3]. In May 2016 Dell still claimed that they had "no indication that customer information used in the scams has been obtained through an external attack" [4]. Does anyone know if they ever admitted to the breach? They ought to be sanctioned as well if they failed to disclose.

Do you have a citation for the claim that there is no racial disparity? Here's a ProPublica report that shows a staggering disparity: "Deadly Force in Black and White"(https://www.propublica.org/article/deadly-force-in-black-and...)

I'm not certain about the figures for wealth mobility, but intergenerational income mobility is already worse in the United States than in Europe and has been for some time.

Correct. They also tested leaving out 9 of each group for cross-validation and got 76% accuracy in that case.

Perhaps you shouldn't comment when you haven't read the post then. If you had, you would have learned that Lindert and Williamson's analysis did account for the income of slaves. Five of the eighteen paragraphs of this short article about their work discusses that part of the analysis.
