Lynx, 27 Frimaire CCXXVII
Dec. 17th, 2018 08:16 pm- Someone scoops me on something I've wanted to do for a while. But it's more of an outline for a project, so maybe I'm still good.
- Most public housing isn't associated with crime, but rather a few projects are typically associated with a lot of it. How to convert physical engineering into social?
- Anonymization reduces gender gaps in funding, although I wonder how much of the effect is specific to e.g. subconscious gender stereotypes vs. an overall decrease in the returns to well-connectedness (where male advantage could be due to generational effects or to something more stable like who can invite whom out for drinks after a conference without anxiety.) Seems like good practice either way, though.
- Ken Hite's homegame 13th Age setting being adulterated into a 5e product. (Absent some eyerolling about how he'll turn Persia or something into a metaphor for Vladimir Putin or whatever, I expect it to be super neat.)
- On strategy and dexterity.
- Interactive prehistoric globes!
- Replication crisis activism in the long view.
