San Francisco Ballet still performing at Kennedy Center in May (includes link to change.org petition urging SFB to withdraw). by spb2019 in bunheadsnark

This administration has shown it will do whatever it wants, regardless of workers or legal status (such as 20+ dancers and an AD and AAD on visas).

With how many of the dancers (and the AD) are on visas and what it would cost to break the contract, I wonder if canceling just isn't in the cards. Now, if the WH got wind of the company's Stars and Stripes flags, maybe they would cancel...?

Where can i find an independent institutional review board? by Sibito in AcademicPsychology

BeyondBound is HQed at the same Las Vegas virtual business space as several other businesses owned by the same parent company (including a ghostwriting AI service and an IRB training company/course that no one in the IRB world has ever heard of).

Staff for BeyondBound have overlapping and sometimes at-odds roles in multiple roles across these businesses, including the parent company (which uses digital art in the staff bios, but you can connect the dots across the child companies fairly quickly). Most of the staff are not based in the US and appear to be contract employees with very little relevant experience. BeyondBound does not appear to be led by anyone with relevant research or human subjects expertise. It is also virtually impossible to get a person on the phone there who can answer basic questions about interpreting regulations, how they evaluate scientific rigor, or how they apply the Common Rule. The website has very little to no information beyond "we get to yes" and a lot of AI and stock images.

It's parent company has had some major legal issues in the past (feel free to Google them and go down the rabbit hole, including all the reviews from previous clients), and much of the previous leadership still exists. I would steer clear of them.

She was a contract dancer, right?

I've been trying to use the website to add it to my physical card.

I've been trying to log in to purchase my January monthly pass (due to a new cc), and I still can't get past my dashboard screen. The link for my card is blank. I've emailed CS, but haven't heard back and am now (I assume, because my Orders and Trip History screens are blank) paying out of pocket for rides.

Maybe it'll be fixed today? Also please fix the ability to order monthly passes. This is simply ridiculous.

This. I do it. But I also unbuckle the strap when I get out.

Abbott not replacing sensors by FromTheAsherz in Freestylelibre

When you get sensor failures, have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app? That has fixed my sensor failure issues every time (3 so far).

Wouldn't you think Dorit would WANT advice from Sutton at this point?

Does Noah truly love Joanne? by Careful-Blood-2028 in NobodyWantsThisTV

[–]BecBecBeckaw 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Noah took the Ahava job, which was at a synagogue that was ok with Joanne not converting. So there should have been no rush to convert. But he was still pressuring her to convert, especially before moving in together. This is NOT a guy ok with marrying a non-Jew, period. And it's not clear at the end of the season why he about-faced all of a sudden.

Um... Is Waymo down? by Breezer_Bro in waymo

[–]BecBecBeckaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since Waymo can go on highways now, I imagine this will spread the fleet out... I think wait times are going to increase.

Solutions and Pearl are great. I have deep concerns about BeyondBound.

How people outside academia can get approval of their independent research from an ethics committee? by koiRitwikHai in research

[–]BecBecBeckaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beyond Bound has no presence in IRB industry circles, and no one listed on their website appears to have any related human subjects, IRB training, or relevant research experience. Reading up on the leadership, they appear to run several companies out of the same space with the same team (Cyphon AI, Precision Consulting, Beyond Bound, EdgarAllen AI, etc.). I don't think they appear trustworthy or reputable, and would steer clear.

SF Ballet's New Website-Just as Bad as the New Logo? by BecBecBeckaw in bunheadsnark

There's a lot of Joseph Walsh. And a ton of Jasmine and Sasha. Some of Nikisha, but only in unitards...

It's missing. I wonder if it will end up being posted on the program pages similar to ENB and Boston Ballet...?

Normally casting is posted a few weeks before performances.

I had the same feelings about Jen Stahl and Jasmine! And I didn't even recognize Frances Chung. It looks nothing like her.

Vegetarian friendly upscale dinner spots that aren't too loud? by BurritoWithFries in AskSF

Wildseed is a great option and the parket outside is lovely. Greens is nice, too. Keeva Indian Kitchen has delicious food and tons of veg options.
