Using game theory to reflect on community trust. Very clean, very nicely done, and fun to play with (takes 20-30 minutes, but even a few gives you something nice): https://t.co/UOqn510XfJ

omg, yes -- e.g., "The world would be a much better place, and the workplace a great deal happier, if instead of telling women to say sorry less, we told men to say sorry a whole lot more."

I have long been frustrated by sound in restaurants---and it is getting worse, and here is why! Plus this show gives a shout out to a favorite haunt from Berkeley. https://t.co/UyzMqVPU5K #fight_the_noise

I had never heard of this until today, but it delights me! Can't go wrong with a plateau of productivity. "Plateau" seems so bland as a word, and thus... I'm tickled.

Excellent article on the less than excellent actions of the Harvard corp regarding past graduation: https://t.co/GZKcHxQpFu

I appreciate the analysis of what this means for academic freedom. (It ain't good.)
