“Never assume malice by that which could be explained by incompetence.”
As a caveat, however, SBF did work at Jane Street and graduated Summa Cum Laude from MIT with a Physics degree, so maybe this quote does not apply.
- SantalBlush 4y agoRight, which is exactly why I took that quote--which is overused by HN crowd--and changed it to fit the context. But you went and added it anyway. I won't assume any malice on your part.
- trollerator23 4y agoNitpick: There is no such thing as Summa Cum Laude at MIT. Rankings and GPAs are not published, so he just graduated with a physics degree, period.
- totalZero 4y agoAlways gives me pause when I hear people say that someone graduated with honors at MIT, even when it's Tony Stark: https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/87387a75-dde7-44ec-bc87-66f4e207fa8d https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/87387a75-dde7-44ec-bc87-66f4e20...
