☆ ‘Wildly disappointing’: Tech exec warns web innovation is stagnating, compares it to space exploration post-1970s

But Blumofe, who noted he's still a believer in the web and modern technology, cautioned we could be in for stagnation. Blumofe compared the current state of the web today to the aerospace industry in the 1960s. Today, aerospace innovation has stalled, he added. "All that was in the 60s and 70s," Blumofe noted. "If someone had gone asleep in 1975 and then woke up and looked at aerospace today they would be wildly disappointed."

☆ Supreme Court ends affirmative action in college admissions
  + stars: | 2023-06-29 | by ( Jacob Shamsian | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that affirmative action in college admissions was unconstitutional. Earlier Supreme Court cases have upheld affirmative action — the practice of giving additional weight to applicants who belong to groups that have historically been the subject of discrimination — for four decades. Ever since former President Donald Trump cemented a 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court, legal experts have expected the Supreme Court to do away with affirmative action altogether. Students for Fair Admissions brought two lawsuits that ended up before the Supreme Court last fall, against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina, alleging they discriminated against white and Asian-American students. Every US college and university the justices attended, save one, urged the court to preserve race-conscious admissions.

☆ Justice Sonia Sotomayor says Supreme Court is 'entrenching racial inequality in education' by striking down affirmative action
  + stars: | 2023-06-29 | by ( Bryan Metzger | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
The Supreme Court struck down affirmative action in higher education on Thursday. In her 68-page dissent, she argued that the court is "entrenching racial inequality in education." In striking down affirmative action, Sotomayor argued, the court is cementing "a superficial rule of colorblindness" in an "endemically segregated society." She goes on to argue that the court's decision is "grounded in the illusion that racial inequality was a problem of a different generation." "Entrenched racial inequality remains a reality today," wrote Sotomayor.
