Went to this hotel bar (at the W in Union Square) today and apparently the building originally belonged to a life insurance company and they built this ornate two-story ballroom as a place to sell insurance?

Apple v Epic is about as non-terrible as I could have hoped, Apple can charge for links but per cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/op... they probably can't charge very much, since the court seems to think that Apple is somehow accruing linkout-specific costs that developers should pay them for.

There's also a chart of average scores by disability category, on which all those students receiving supposedly-fake learning disability and ADHD accommodations did worse than students receiving no accommodations

They also have some interesting data on specific accommodations - most students received extra time but an awful lot of them require some sort of other accommodation (screen reader, scribe) that would by its nature make the test take longer through no fault of the student's

The closest thing to data on test accommodations I've found so far is this research report from the ACT (www.act.org/content/dam/...) which doesn't talk about change over time but does show a) it's not that many (6%) and b) income brackets are pretty similar to students without accommodations

It turns out she already got sanctioned almost unanimously by her colleagues for a different ethical lapse in 2007:
![2007 election [edit] Ziegler faced Madison attorney Linda Clifford in the April 2007 general election, after they were the top two finishers in the February primary. The campaign was contentious. Ziegler asserted that Clifford's lack of judicial experience made her ill- prepared for the Supreme Court; she also raised concerns about two of Clifford's
campaign workers misrepresenting themselves to law enforcement officials. Clifford asserted that Ziegler had ruled in cases where she had a clear conflict of
interest. 2 It came to light during the campaign that Ziegler had ruled on roughly a dozen cases affecting a bank of which her husband was a paid board member, and on 22 cases involving companies in which Ziegler personally owned more than
$50,000 of stock. 3] On April 3, 2007, Ziegler defeated Clifford in the election, 58% to 42%. 4 Her campaign and allies outspent Clifford $4.1 million to $1.7 million. The influential business lobbying associations Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce and
Wisconsin Club for Growth spent $2.6 million in support of Ziegler. Following her election, in a 5-1 decision the Wisconsin Supreme Court took the unprecedented step of publicly reprimanding Ziegler for willful violations of the code of judicial conduct by presiding over those cases where she had an apparent
conflict of interest.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v2k6ce7drw7lycs3tlvcn7ui/bafkreicxtq6j2y6ql23b7zridwcxntlxoccvvsyrr57ncsw2hawacsvony@jpeg)
