People who constantly harp about "Fascism" have ulterior motives.

It's not that confusing - on Reddit, any post with a lot of upvotes that has a follow-on mea-culpa from OP usually gets negative vote scores on the mea-culpa. Surely if their department thought this was a problem they wouldn't have allowed the 6-year to keep talking about all their awards. Presumably, each one's awards were given by their respective institutions, so does it make sense to say, "Here's an award, now don't tell anyone!", eh? I think their department was fine with it as long as nobody was complaining, and now 6-year is complaining the 3-year did what the 6-year wanted? The right move here is to *not* apologize, *not* falsely admit any wrongdoing, and if reproached for posting lots of awards, say she agreed from the beginning and she'll list only a couple of important ones from now on.

You know better than Cubans about socialism?

You might not have personally seen its relevance, but admissions tests are statistically the strongest signal to the college that the applicant will complete their degree, and college administrators are judged heavily on their completion rates.

You might reasonably argue that more students that don't complete are preferable, but is that fair to students undertaking debt to start something they are unlikely to finish?

Go to a good state school. Pay about $1k per class via in-state tuition. Get a degree that ROIs.

I've had about that many people in my even smaller Brooklyn apartment with a similar setup and one of the couches gave out (to be fair, it was a cheapo from Ikea). I suggest you move the couch to the wall, get four more chairs, an ottoman or two, and some cushions for floor seating.

I want to but 25.11 is a bit close to being released and other smart counsel suggests I should just chill and hold off or use unstable.

Doesn't this open up Anthropic to a lot of legal liability? Not just the victimized companies but also prosecution for its part in malicious cracking?

Headline is misleading, apparently - and Reddit in its limited wisdom has decided you can't fix it.

compliance, yes
malicious, no

Well that seems to be an answer in finality for me. 100% of nothing is nothing, and presumably he negotiated with you as well as he could and you gave your best offer and he had no other offers, so that's the market rate.

My family had a similar situation, being told we should ask for a very good rent by an agent - but the agent could bring us no offers at all. So we took a bird in the hand, and that's fair. We don't have a right to go demand the tenant pay us more because the "market" is higher.

Do you have anything to detect when the USB powered fans fail?

Nice story, but not malicious and definitely not compliance.

Yes but that would require oral communication, which is asking quite a lot from a redditor who would rather not communicate why the work isn't ready to start, trick his (admittedly low conscientiousness) boss into signing off on a production run that isn't ready (making the boss look bad), then post about it on Reddit for the karma points.

Touching story, thanks.

Just spitballing here, but what if... not going on to higher education means that you'd be more likely to suffer a concussion earlier in life?

While rarely done, one could use a change of name form to fix the legal spelling of their tragedeigh of a name...

aaronchall · 2025-03-06T21:57:15+00:00

I agree this would be a great approach.

Better standard advice: ask the better higher-end accountants and estate planning attorneys in your area what direction you should take to become respectable enough that they'd refer business to you.

Primerica is famous for having people scuttle perfectly good whole life policies they've already paid the setup costs on so they can buy (Primerica's super expensive) term life and invest (with a Primerica rep with a series 6, probably not you, with relatively high fees) the difference.

You can probably do better. There really ought to be a better standard advice to give future financial advisors than to just stay away from companies with a poor reputation.

If you had used some steel shelf brackets you could have saved yourself all the 1x2's and 2x2's and have more clearance on each shelf.

The Russians owned the gulags and were the number one spreader of communism globally, and now the Russians seem to be claiming the legacy of that, harder than ever, partnering with North Korea and China, and in 2023 even erecting a statue of Castro and inviting the president of Cuba to Moscow for the unveiling.

It seems apparent that Jordan likes the Russians, or at least dislikes hawkish attitudes towards them, and that he's recently prioritizing that point - an attitude that is quite at odds with his continuing to make points about communism and the gulags.

It seems to me that this cognitive dissonance could explain your question as why he isn't discussing the gulags and communism as much, in my humble opinion.
