Only if you say it's OK elsewhere.

How "bout those removable phone batteries?

Yeah, taxes are generally unavoidable for most people.

Hosting a blog on Substack is just a market choice among so many.

Apple and Google stores are a bit more grey; I'd allow it.

It's like those guys who find a Civil War chest with a hundred gold coins in it and call the FBI.

Clout is far too expensive.

This is the one where they investigate Office on Antitrust grounds and wind up settling for not bundling Edge.

I've seen it in reruns....

I said some kind words about Anthropic when they refused to do targeting foreign and domestic.

In retrospect that was myopic praise.

But Xi still wants some samples of the American products to know where the Chinese products are in relative terms. The better to set higher targets.

Still wondering what sort of trap he'll spring on the YOB. The tricky part is that Xi can't pull too hard on the buffoon's strings or everyone will notice. Has to let the YOB think it's really his latest brilliant idea. Even though Xi has been rehearsing with the YOB's GAIvatar for weeks already...

Rather disappointing this juicy story didn't get any Funny.

Closest to the joke I was looking for?

But maybe they will now use LinkedIn to find much better opportunities? Unless they prefer to spend more time with their families?

I think it's mostly the winners'-side bias of lucky rich people for "righteous indignation". Also common affliction among religious fanatics. But they aren't morally right. Just lucky or fanatical or both.

Sandel's position is somewhat different. Been a while since I've read the book, but as recall it he said that admissions should involve two phases. The screening stage would eliminate the least qualified candidates, basically the people who are not going to be able to do classwork. I don't think he gave any numbers but he estimated that the percentage wasn't that large. Most of the applications are based in reality and therefore most of the applicants have a pretty good idea about their own capabilities. The lottery would start with the pool of qualified applicants.

It got more complicated when he started dealing with other aspects of admissions policy, especially the degree to which a university wants future graduates to have different demographic characteristics than previous graduates. I remember one idea was to give some categories extra tickets in the lottery to tilt the odds in favor of desired changes. Not to deny admissions to any specific person, but to sometimes give more chances to other kinds of people.

(He covered some of the same material in a later book. Which reminds me that it's probably time for me to check what else he's written lately. I've read a number of his books and found all of them interesting.)

Are you implying the stats are being rigged?

I am so sick and tired of fucking pretending we are not in a deep deep recession.

It's arguably a "white collar recession". General employment is generally in a "C+" mode. White collar-ers are just going to have to get blue collar jobs until the economy normalizes.

Notice the triple of moderation abuse? Me neither, but someone should?
