If a link to /classic were on lists I would just start my HN journey there every day.

I don't have a deep understanding enough to have a strong opinion on this but don't the roles seem reversed? It's my understanding that Asian people are underrepresented at Harvard due to affirmative action. The photos I've seen for this story feature Asian people protesting the decision. Is this a case of people coming together against their own interests to protest a decision they think is unfair? It feels too political for me to get a sense of what is right here. In the long run, since colleges are still free to consider race though writings, isn't this what you would want to see in a healing society? We understand that the pendulum should swing in the direction of helping the underserved and once that footing is there, the goal is always to be agnostic of race. This seems like a baby step to see if the affirmative action worked. Is there something that has happened since the 60s that indicates this should last forever or that the program was reaching it's goals?

City Tavern in Philadelphia serves food made from 18th century recipes, using the tools available at that time. The prices are in line with typical casual dining (Applebees for example). It's fun if you are in the area but some recipes have improved in the meantime. IMHO, creme brulee benefitted from the appropriation of the butane torch (I think City Tavern uses an iron).

Good point, I thought he just left the CEO position but looks like he completely resigned. In for a penny, in for a pound.

IANAL but there are different types of bankruptcy. Some allow for continued operations and some require that you lock the doors, stop answering emails, don't touch the website, that type of thing. I'm not sure of the totality of what FTX has filed, but originally, they made a chapter 15 filing. That can lead to chapter 7 or 11. With chapter 11, you can continue doing some business. I don't know that they are going this route but it is possible to send a communication from a business in bankruptcy.
