A random thought: mentees and mentors in the sciences and computational fields need to understand the X-Y Problem. I help a lot of people with computational stuff and early on

Do any other interdisciplinary researchers get mis-disciplined a lot? Like in an invisible kind of way (especially researchers of color/women). Here's a few examples... and I'd love thoughts on how

I have this old issue with Cummings. From interviews we did about the disapplication of ICT and introduction of Computer Science in English schools in 2012-13, it seems he was

corollary: the few times you should actually care about computational algorithmic complexity are when the unit of work is a unit of I/O (e.g. a database request), not a unit

The idea that they took the abundance of computational power, figured out a way to reach consensus in a distributed fashion, and then used it to create scarcity is rather
