Wow, those phishing emails from IT are getting pretty aggressive...

I know grad school is competitive, but being offered a bribe by an applicant was unexpected.

I wonder how often this succeeds.

I can’t tell you how tired I am of having to start every conversation here and on HN with an explanation of why you shouldn’t be crap to people.

[Patrick Traynor @patrickgtraynor]

@matthew_d_green "If they're well prepared" is so crucial. Maybe we should move to a more curated model - take papers like a journal but have the best presentations at the conference.
