Rogue employee at @UPS My Choice support wasn't listening and didn't like my pointing that out, so she went silent—breathing into the phone but ignoring me—for >10 mins. Having just spent 15 mins trying to get through to a human, I wasn't hanging up; she did. Zero accountability.

Congratulations to @Upwork on their IPO! It's not only a fantastic business built by great people---it also creates economic opportunities around the 🌎, making it a powerful force for overcoming the unfairness of geography & birth. It's an inspiration. techcrunch.com/2018/10/03/up…

Their publication @HCjnl on "The Three Sides of CrowdTruth" is definitely worth checking out too: bit.ly/HCj-CrowdTruth

Searching Google Scholar for «late homework policies» just returns a bunch of random course syllabi. Surely somebody has studied this right?
Discriminating against an entire state because *some* residents supported discriminatory laws… stunning hypocrisy. nytimes.com/2016/04/14/opini…
Has there been any decision on an #HCOMP2016 deadline? The @HCOMP_conf web site has been inaccessible lately.
@TurkerNational Yes. I also suspect some selection bias: bad instructions ➜ bad results ➜ novice requesters give up ➜ only pros remain.
@TurkerNational We had workers rate existing instructions from different requesters. Oddly, they didn't find many problems. I'm perplexed.
Where can I find examples of BAD #MTurk task instructions? ("Bad" = unclear, ambiguous, overly verbose, etc.)
After hearing about Paul Volcker's exposed ankles on @PlanetMoney, I bought 12 pair of size 15 black boot socks (knee high). Problem solved!

The @nature guide to constructing a paper abstract is worth following for **every** paper
Papers on broad topics or with crisp, easily generalizable conclusions are cited more. Systems papers are the opposite. @jeffbigham @landay
