@ash_craig @erinhengel I wish it often! All the dogs I meet seem to live a pretty great life: sleep, eat, and ask strangers to scratch your belly? Not knowing who Orange is comes as a nice bonus.

@AusAID @dfat Another aspect of the caps, which I haven't seen discussed much, is the distortionary impact that they will have on the types / length of programs that universities offer.

@ryanbedwards ACT might be different re: housing but international students are also completely orthogonal to housing pressures and prices everywhere else in Australia. Let's not even entertain this nonsense.

@paulnovosad IME large (> 3 people) remote meetings become useless because half the people aren't fully there... They're pretending to be there but checking email or whatever Yes, the same thing happens in person but I think the cutoff for undistracted attendee presence is higher face-to-face

@AdamMGrant It me

@paulnovosad People keep noticing it but then getting distracted

@toddpugatch IMO that borders on professional misconduct... More constructively, can the student use Interfolio's delivery service? I haven't used it but I think it can solve this issue (i.e. the letter writer submits one generic, confidential letter & Interfolio can deliver to many jobs).

In this day and age, I don't see what excuse journals have for not requesting *RAW* data and code for getting from raw data to analysis data. Yes, tons of work to set up such a workflow for the first time, but it does get (marginally) easier with time.
