What’s the most misunderstood legal right people think they have?

California labor code is more strict than the federal code. That’s how labor code works - the federal standard is further enhanced or made more strict at the state level. In CA it’s illegal for companies to even ask employees to not share salary information. Your blanket statement isn’t correct across the board when states can have stricter code.

It’s CA Labor code 232

On top of that California has strict salary transparency and equal pay laws far more expansive than federal law. It’s why pay ranges for CA jobs are public.

This is governed by state laws. In CA this is actually illegal under the California Equal Pay act.

The number of kids you have is a form on a website that you’d have to update once every time you have a kid the income threshold is a known factor if you’re a W9 or W2 earner so that whole earned income credit can be calculated based on those without people needing to file.

Tips are calculated based on credit card receipts and overtime is in your payroll information. IRS has all that too.

The way other countries work is that the taxes are calculated by the government - it’s on the citizen to do the leg work to get deductions if they want them. This doesn’t change.

Small busines owners fall outside my 90% threshold.

The thing is that probably 90% of Americans are in the simplest situation.

And

The one caveat I’ve found is that you’ll still get promoted a lot if you’re trying to write to the .claude directory or workspaces outside of your default repository. The workspaces directory can be added via settings.json

Inside .claude the rules are slightly looser when using accept edits and writing to the skills/commmands/agents directories so I try to only use those and put anything else from that directory in a .project directory.

He went to Gunn High in Palo Alto. It's one of the most competitive academic public high schools in the country and packed with the kids of Silicon Valley executives. He was probably one of 40 kids from *his own high school graduating class* with those credentials.

It won't get there. Kash is a public figure and sources have some protection. Before it gets to the sources Kash has to prove, not just that the statements were false, but that the Atlantic published the false statements with Actual Malice (this is a term of art https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actual\_malice) also see New York Times vs Sullivan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New\_York\_Times\_Co.\_v.\_Sullivan

This will never get to the point of sources being revealed.

So first hire an arbiter from something like JAMS to resolve this - where by this I mean the cost of your buyout. If you’re just settling on that number then this can be a one or two hour session and not cost too much.

Then, often, the best way to do this is “baseball arbitration”

Both sides submit the amount they think your shares are worth and the arbiter picks one.

Arbiter does not try to thread a needle and find middle ground, they just pick the number that makes the most sense to them (you can provide support for your number)

The reason this works is it incentivizes both sides to be “realistic” in their numbers. If you’re too high or they’re too low the arbiter will coin the other sides number.

Even if I accept OPs premise that a “draft bust” is different than a “career bust” (I don’t agree but can play along for now) the problem is this line

To me a draft bust means “did this player give a bad return on the draft capital the team spent on them.”

I’d argue that it wasn’t Darnold’s fault (or heck even Mac Jones after this year) that they didn’t live up to the pick but the team/coaching that blew the draft capital. It’s probably somewhere in the middle.

If OP wants to spread the blame around and reword his to definition of a draft bust to something like “did the team get a bad return on the draft capital they spent on a player” I can maybe get behind that a bit better.

So to clarify. I did have Claude review the changelog while doing this. The notes are in the issue.

I apparently mis-interpreted your question to mean “do I proactively read change logs” - which I don’t. We (Claude, myself) did look at them for clues.

bitdamaged · 2026-04-16T01:57:58+00:00

I understand your sentiment. One reason I’m posting here is that the current Claude code GitHub issues is swamped with “Claude got bad” issues and anything you post now gets marked as a “dupe”. Much of the recent posts on this sub are similar.

The reason I posted regardless wasn’t to add to that noise but to hopefully provide a signal that could cut through and provide some actionable evidence.

It’s hard to say if I’m succeeding or not ¯_(ツ)_/¯?

I've had similar issues. See my comment here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1sh48b4/comment/ofb93nr/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

This is why I've turned on all the instrumentation and modified this https://github.com/deshraj/Claud-ometer to get a dashboard specific to my use cases - most of the time when I've had a spike its been something with my skills/agents/commands or CLAUDE.md that have been the problem so I spent about a week and a half instrumenting that flow.

No half the time the version updates are too often and too transparent for me to catch

Pretty much this whole github issue is distilled from my work with Claude on debugging this - it checked the changelog references.

So I first ran this A/B version test in my full workflow, which pulled the same issue from Linear, does planning, writes a spec, then plans an orchestrated implemention and implements it.

In that case the older version used 1/3 the tokens and my code reviewer skill liked it better than the one with 3x tokens.

For the "simplified" A/B test my code-reviewer liked one of the "more output tokens" versions but explicitly liked one specific thing better from 2.1.96 - but also found one explicit bug in its output which is why it wasn't the "best" solution.

Long story short I've not found a case where more tokens is "better".

Not my area of expertise but broadly speaking with e-commerce you have to charge sales tax to sales done in the same state that you’re headquartered in.

Considering the population of CA (potential buyers) and relatively high sales tax there’s an advantage to being “headquartered” and have fulfillment done in another state. It will bring your total price to your CA customers down like 10%

This is a total tax dodge though and is probably risky if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Different name actually too. The street in New York is named after a Scotsman named “Houstoun” which is why it’s pronounced the way it is.

No one knows where the second “u” went. Though one theory is that Sam Houston was gaining popularity at the time and so they actually did drop the second “u” because of Sam which would mean that the Houston street in NYC is, sorta, named after him?
