Our #ICRA2021 paper notification came with a sheet of blank reviews (but wasn't desk rejected). No reviewer content at all. Did this happen to anyone else? PaperPlaza error?
@Randomness We switched to 1password when lastpass was acquired. It's not free, but they are upfront about costs and don't seem to be in it to maximize profit no matter what (at least not yet). This may or may not meet your needs, but $0.02.

@dlowd The first is “Number the Stars,” arguably cardinality is a stretch there. The circle is from linear temporal logic, and means “true during the next timestep.” (@HadasKressGazit would know if I got it right - my LTL isn’t great.)
I discovered recently that some gmail filters that had been working fine, stopped working fine. They have in fact have been hiding messages, which is rather the precise opposite of fine. I don't know what they "improved" exactly, but if you rely on filters, check them. 😠
