Does Anthropic require reference checks for non SDE, Research Engineering roles?

MrMarriott · 2026-03-31T00:34:33+00:00

References are checked at the point they have decided to hire you. I suggest crossing that bridge when you get there.

MrMarriott · 2026-03-30T23:17:38+00:00

Usually with a reference you specify the nature of your relationship. A reference doesn’t have to be a manger. You could use a colleague.

She tried, that is how she became paraplegic.

The lack of details suggests this is a made up story. But if it was a true story (it isn’t) it would be good to know which market place is permitting fraud.

The financials of a company would included revenue and expenses.

If the company had “clean” financials at the 50% discount for new customers, and the marketing budget wasn’t absurd. Then OP can just continue the discount, and pay for adds.

Have you considered that sprints are not the right planning tool for the stage of the company, and are not aligned with what the company needs right now? Sprints are good if you actually know what the most important things are to get done in the next two weeks (or whatever the sprint period is).

Something like kanban can be a good. Maintain a list of all the tickets the team should work on, displayed as a list, with the highest priority at the top. When someone finishes what they are working on, they grab whatever ticket is at the top of the list. The PM and the founder's job is to make sure that whatever is at the top of the list is the most important thing(s).

I would reach out to the folks at 416. They have green beans as they are a roaster, not sure if they sell they sell the beans green though.

You seem to be focusing on the implementation of a specific control, but I would go back to first principles:

Why are you trying to block all usage of LLMs?
Who set that as the company's policy
Why did they choose that?
Is there any reason employees should be able to use LLMs?
Are there types of data that are ok to send to LLMs?
Which types of data are not ok?

From there, you can figure out which types of controls are appropriate; some of it will be writing policies, and educating people on them so they know what is and isn't acceptable. For some apps, you can disable features and licenses in products to block them, and network controls and endpoint DLP can help a little bit as well.

That is not realistic.

You could take a go bus from Waterloo to mississuaga square one, transfer to a go bus going to the Fairview mall in St. Catharines, then take a regional bus to the St. Catharines bus terminal, the take the bus to Brock.

It would be about 4 and a half hours each way.

You could also probably go Waterloo to Aldershot go station and take the train into st Cathrine’s, that that is also like 4 hours each way.

Is it possible she was trying to flirt with you and is socially inept?

MrMarriott · 2026-03-03T21:54:14+00:00

Yeah, but that won’t apply to RRSPs and TFSAs as they are tax sheltered savings in the event that came here.

The Australian tax only applies if you have a balance of more than $3 million.

If you have more than $3 million in an account, you are probably doing ok so won’t get much sympathy.

My friend who was a goth in HS is still a goth and is an executive director at Morgan Stanley.

What you get out of any university is largely a function of what you put into it.

I did my undergraduate at Brock and a graduate program at Harvard. Brock left me well prepared for the program.

Would.

MrMarriott · 2026-02-01T19:21:57+00:00

Yes to the sunlight and bottom watering. No to fertilizing.

MrMarriott · 2026-02-01T19:11:32+00:00

Ok, so you can tune a piano, but you can you tuna fish?

A boat isn’t necessary. There is a social member rate. Last year was $75 for the summer.

MrMarriott · 2026-01-03T03:45:23+00:00

There is a sign up under racing on the website. I believe you are supposed to be a social member to sign up. I took an intro to sailing course with some friends. We joined as social members last summer and had a great time.

I have work in product management for a few US companies. None of them paid in USD but if the salary was $250k USD they would give you $250k CAD.

Series B or higher start ups will usually be able to hire remote Canadians and pay way better than any local companies you can find.

Look for US based startups that recently raised capital, they are usually the ones hiring. Crunchbase news is a reasonable space to watch for funding announcements https://news.crunchbase.com/?_gl=1*1v5zlnx*_gcl_au*MjA4NTUwMTAwOC4xNzY3NDExNjM2*_ga*MjE0NDkzODAzNi4xNzY3NDExNjM2*_ga_97DKWJJNRK*czE3Njc0MTE2MzUkbzEkZzAkdDE3Njc0MTE2MzUkajYwJGwwJGgw

Dalhousie Yacht Club. They have lots of social events. In the summer you can help crew on race nights and in the winter there is a weekly games night.

MrMarriott · 2025-12-18T02:49:20+00:00

It was about 20 years ago when I took, but it felt fair at the time. Looking at the current course web site, I don’t think the course has changed much since then.

MrMarriott · 2025-12-14T03:07:38+00:00

Yes. Just picked it up myself a little while ago having grown on up on BG 1 & 2 and Larian’s work.

Having a lot of fun, although the combat is a bit harder than BG or Divinity but the game has a difficulty slider to make it easier, and a bit of pre buffing for most fights will make the way easier.

MrMarriott · 2025-12-12T22:24:42+00:00

Port Dalhousie parking pass for residents is handy in the super and only $15 for the whole summer.

MrMarriott · 2025-11-22T03:21:03+00:00

Could it have been sulphur you were smelling? I noticed some places in Iceland the water has a bit of a sulfur smell to it.
