Michael Rabin memorial conference

Friend-of-the-blog (well, mainly just friend) Adi Akavia has asked me to publicize that she’s helping to organize an exciting CS conference called Mind-IL at Tel Aviv University on October 26, in memory of the Israeli-American Turing Award winner Michael O. Rabin, who passed away in April. Please note that October 26 is the day before the Israeli election, for any Israeli citizenship holders living abroad who might want an academic excuse to come to Israel and vote.

Comment Policies:

After two decades of mostly-open comments, in July 2024 Shtetl-Optimized transitioned to the following policy:

All comments are treated, by default, as personal missives to me, Scott Aaronson---with no expectation either that they'll appear on the blog or that I'll reply to them.

At my leisure and discretion, and in consultation with the Shtetl-Optimized Committee of Guardians, I'll put on the blog a curated selection of comments that I judge to be particularly interesting or to move the topic forward, and I'll do my best to answer those. But it will be more like Letters to the Editor. Anyone who feels unjustly censored is welcome to the rest of the Internet.

To the many who've asked me for this over the years, you're welcome!
