Outcome of airbnb subpoena + what one should do about it?

Eventually, I assume that airbnb is going to have to give up information to the state regarding NYC residents who have rented their house/apartment not in accordance with the Illegal Hotel Law.What will the likely consequences be for people who will be for people that are "prosecuted"?How can one minimize the likelihood of their data being in the set provided to the state?

one of the points in this is:

women perform better under an alias than as their real name.

however, i believe there is a flaw in this assumption/point/theory with the related data. how can you compare 2 sets of women without a baseline of their mathematical skills? it seems that they are assuming that both sets of women (true name and alias name) have are at the same mathematical skillset. i do not believe that is a fair assumption, especially when the testing set were all undergrads even more so with a testing set of 110 women.

i would be curious as to see this same test being performed with some sort of standard or minimum requirement for mathematical knowledge in order to create that variable as constant as possible.

No, thats what reddits for.
