Not sure why something that happened when they were 8 years old means that current undergrads aren't allowed to have fun, buy okay.

Yes [1]. They also provide tuition scholarships for children of staff and graduate students [2] who could not otherwise afford childcare in the Boston area (which runs on average $20K/yr against a post-tax stipend as low as $31K/y

No, no need to rent. The solution is pretty trivial, and even battle-tested because the problem has already been solved for mortgages (lenders really care whether a piece of property is your primary residence) and for income tax (your prima

If you are going to do this, it needs to be paired with price controls on rental housing. Otherwise the expense is passed on and becomes a de facto regressive tax on (usually poor) renters. With respect to short term rentals in particular,

You'd be taking the owner to court, who probably isn't the one delivering the papers.

The article specifically states that UPS delivered without contacting her and when she wasn't home, and then sent her the bill.

Same. I sometimes wonder if in these cases it's a cultural/not-intended-audience thing (USA brain vs CAD brain top-1 expansion of B.C.), or objectively bad writing, or intentional.

No. But also, it's a terrible analogy because a punch to the face is potentially lethal force but delivering a newspaper isn't. Which, obviously, matters. Spraying someone with a hose in this situation is battery. Unless the newsp

Which would obviously be a load of Reddit-quality IANAL bullshit… yeah? I mean, really, you cannot lie about who authored books you’re selling. Especially if the author is well known and their reputation has value. https://news.

The problem is that the alternative isn’t working either. Americas infrastructure trajectory is highly unsustainable even without decimating the gas tax. Eventually something gives. Lately it’s been bridges.

Trail running shoes are patagucci. Wearing trail running shoes for a strenuous hike -- without first building up a lot of ankle strength -- is a good way to get injured.

Door-to-door missionaries and college endowment call centers are the scum of the earth that intentionally prey on old folks looking for meaning and/or legacy. But I have yet to see dedicated police forces.

Or as a laborer. (See: literally any thread about RTO, or grad school, or starup culture vs corporate culture, and so on.)

In case it wasn't obvious: the examples are firmly tounge-in-cheek. The point is simply that markets are designed for maximizing incentives, and "ESG" as commonly defined isn't -- at least definitionally -- aligned with

The two are totally orthogonal. Passive refers to fund management style, and passive management can certainly be based on inputs that require human judgement or decision making. Eg, the components of the S&P 500 are selected by committe

I’ve noticed a trend on commenters making these sorts of demands. I can’t tell if it’s a new (particularly dumb) rhetorical ploy or if they’re just looking for free labor.

Sadly no citation on hand. Just experience. I’m sure there are plenty of academic papers observing this fact by now?

It’s not that simple; llms can generate garbage out even without similar garbage in the training data. And robustly so. I agree that the “social hazard” aspect of llm objectionable content generation is way overplayed, especially in persona
