Ammallon People often ask us why we have cancelled late fines in @cambridgepl, "won't it result in people just not returning books?"

NOPE. Data across the country doesn't support that. Check out the Chicago example below. 83% increase in books returned.

AriannaBisazza maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see why the switch-to-online had to result in this format (as opposed to broadcasting the pre-rec talks as part of the session). I have the impression this has more to do with having simply too many papers at a single 3-day event..?

AriannaBisazza @emnlp2020 is the 1st large online conf I'm attending... Anyone has good tips on WHEN to watch pre-recorded talks of a session without missing out all the live (Q&A) interaction that's happening at the same time? (apart from cloning myself, thanks!)

FiboKowalsky On machine1 I created a list of 'my favorites' from EMNLP (main) papers in the virtual emnlp site, and later I found out that the list is not available when using machine2.
Beware of this favorites' transfarability issue!

anmarasovic I was completely lost at the virtual ACL. This is what I plan to differently for :

1. Actually decline *all* meetings as if I'm going to the in-person conference, but chat with my mentees on Slack if they have questions

emmabell42 Rapid antigen tests trade sensitivity for speed. They return a result in <30 minutes, but can only detect COVID-19 when you're absolutely riddled with it. What's bogus is that Space Karen didn't read up on the test before complaining to his millions of followers. pic.twitter.com/a1Snfpm03h

ArneKoehn I love to see that conferences start using lasting handles. They had yearly domain (emnlp2015.org), twitter (@acl2018) but now we have 2020.emnlp.org, @aclmeeting and 2021.aclweb.org.

Thanks for this invisible work with long-lasting benefits!

dawwidd Mir scheint ja immer noch plausibler, dass die skandalisierten Konfliktfälle an Unis Ausdruck einer gestiegenen Diversität sind, nicht einer repressiven Konformität.

spacemanidol @tallinzen When I would pass one of those bridge signs I would always think about how I had changed since I last crossed the bridge. Made my commute fun because I could internally debate if this time I really was a new person.

tallinzen It's a little bit like that sign by the Manhattan Bridge bike path off ramp that says "1,232,463 cyclists have used this bridge this year" but I have personally been at least 200 of those cyclists.
