While Anthropic shouldn't allow models to randomly post content to random .com websites, governments use such unprofessional domain names:

PhillyUnsolvedMurders.com

phillypolice.com

TLDs like .gov exist for a reason:

(and could help model sandboxing?)

The AMA lobbies for more _subsidized_ residencies while downplaying that unsubsidized residencies also exist and could expand without waiting on more taxpayer funding

> no reason they can’t publish valuable work with the right collaborators

Despite h-index claiming to balance quantity and quality, it obviously incentives quantity over quality (no single publication can increment h-index as much as churning out a few worthless publications that cite each other); med students overwhelmingly follow those incentives trying to secure better residencies

> (1) Insight scores

(1) seems like their (stated) differentiator itself; plenty of organizations already offer ETFs that omit selected companies

I doubt their data is cleaner internally than it is on their website. They're bringing in millions annually from their expense ratios:

> international subsidiaries

Secondary listings allow entire companies to trade on multiple exchanges (not just corresponding subsidiaries)

So I agree that it was likely just a mistake to list multiple listings of the same companies, but the fact that they usually receive different scores proves their process isn't diligent:

* $GOOGL.MX is dinged for multiple non-Mexico-specific violations that the other listing isn't

Re:Morningstar values SpaceX at $780B, half its IPO target on Wednesday June 03, 2026 @11:08PM (#48393221)
Most of the examples I provided are due to differing country codes; their site fails to recognize things like Alphabet trading on a Mexican stock exchange is still the same company: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GOOGL.MX/

$GOOGL.MX scoring differently than other $GOOGL listings makes me extremely skeptical that humans are diligently creating these scores (finance professionals should've recognized that secondary listings like $GOOGL.MX don't need their own scoring)

$PTL "screens" for:

* air quality

* environmental risk

* GHG emissions

* ecological impact

* product sustainability
