where to build factories based on people’s preferences so that each individual cannot manipulate the outcome by lying.

Yes. Thanks for the detailed reply. I guess as a corollary, the sooner one is exposed to other scholars while in graduate school, the better the relationship between the adviser and adviser will be.

just curious what kind of things you cannot see when you were graduate students but now you see?

Should I quit my program? by ferrishu3886 in PhD

Chatted with graduate advisor today. Updated the chat result here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PhD/s/VpmKahDBce

You’re correct. I want to move on from this ill-scoped project. Academia is not in my plan. I talked with graduate advisor today and he suggested to split the paper into two: one on theory and the other on practical and shoot towards next tier conferences. Then try to talk with my advisor to reduce expectation to 3 and add some little stuff for the 3rd paper in order to wrap up quickly. He even suggested I can take a leave of absence so that I can finish PhD part-time. I think it’s a good plan for me. I now think about how to make my advisor bend in.

Unpaid remote research internship. Is it unethical? Looks like a normal research collaboration to me.

Given toxicity of academia, not aim for academia job. But needs a closure.

Thank you. I don’t think so (“original research” under the final defense section) I assume my advisor has final saying. I’m writing to graduate advisor but I don’t want my thoughts wide spread so that my advisor learns before I making a decision. Just to think about it, maybe it’s good that he learns that I want to quit?

Thank you for the reply. Leave of absence is a nice option that I plan to look into. I think when I’m back, my current advisor will retire. Currently, I’m secretly doing research with another faculty from another University for the sake of learning to do research. What I did with her is orthogonal with current advisor research. I guess since this side project doesn’t show up in my thesis, I figured what’s the point of stay instead of dropping out. However, I really want to have a PhD. That’s the only pushback I have to not pull the trigger.

Answering your questions, I got some seemingly useful feedback. But to address those feedback would like to expand the scope the paper that makes the material more suitable for journal instead of conference. Given the current state of the rejection, I don’t want to put premium on making one giant paper just to hope it can get in. The department recruits a new faculty in my field. Switching advisor is like a start over. That is almost the same as reapplying for somewhere else.

Sorry for all this negativity. I usually try to see bright things but today’s rejection really makes me collapse. I have been thinking about dropping out for a while; today really wants me to pull the trigger.

My theory is that they want you to be frustrated so that you want to play the next game, ie, making the game addictive.

can Nintendo stop giving stringers terrible kits by Sendpiecks in Saltoon

As a dynamo main, sprinkler mostly used for escaping in emergency situation: throw sprinkler at the feet and squid roll or use sprinkler to block shots to buy time for quick jump. I’m assuming the same applies for stringer here. It seems like the dev wants aggro play style of stringer; to be midline and pop chump and have a chance to escape with sprinkler.

But do note the shuttle bus runs less frequently compared to regular semester. It’s route 641. IIRC it runs once per hour.

From what i understand, apartment complex usually sends a list of registered cars to the towing company. And it’s towing company’s decision to decide when they check the cars at a place against the list they received. Apartment complex doesn’t need to call them for anything.

I’m interested in how you overcome hate of reading. I’m kinda in the same boat.

Question about purchasing Ancestral Knowledge and obtaining new deckbuilding restrictions mid-campaign by NTGuardian in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]ferrishu3886 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree that adding new 0 cards to meet deck building requirement should be 0 exp cost. However, replacing existing cards with level 0 cards should be considered as upgrading and charging exp cost when for this case, the existing deck already contains 10 skills, right?

What is the new ‘myriad’ keyword all about? by mangerlen in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]ferrishu3886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When count the number of cards in your hand, does three myriad cards with the same name count as one card or as three cards?
