New blog post on ACL review reform: hackingsemantics.xyz/2020/an… TLDR: so far reforms focused on reviewer load, but we also have a huge problem of "PR review" & deanonymization on arXiv. @nlpmattg has an alternative proposal enabling fairer&faster reviews. Need community support! /1

"[...] as lockdowns have increased domestic workloads – not just childcare, but homeschooling, shopping, cleaning and caring for elderly relatives – women have been landed with more tasks than men, and this has cut into their research time and exacerbated existing career hurdles"

Let's make this simple: Zoom is malware.
Ever wondered how the @zoom_us macOS installer does it’s job without you ever clicking install? Turns out they (ab)use preinstallation scripts, manually unpack the app using a bundled 7zip and install it to /Applications if the current user is in the admin group (no root needed).
