I do. I actually pay for ~30% fewer ads ($5/month on Contributor) whereas I could easily just use uBlock. There are few reasons I do this: (1) uBlock is overzealous -- it breaks some websites and I'm not interested enough to tweak

Apparently in London it is very common to use an agent; people said that Craigslist was not really used. Maybe agents are more common in Europe? Which continents did you rent on?

That may be. But smegel's claim was that Tokyo does not appear on any rankings list. And the evidence presented for this was a page which in fact had Tokyo first on a rankings list.

I have this problem too. For me, it'll start working again if I just plug in a USB cable and then unplug it. It's really weird but it always works.

I understood the lead quote to be about comparing the software developers at the two companies, not people in the research arms. Also, I'm curious: who are the top-notch probabilists at MSR?

I actually mean a format where (1) the number of frames is quite small and (2) the pauses between frames are there by default and transitions have to be triggered by a user action.

In my experience, linguists are not terribly punny, though -- what accounts for this difference? (FWIW, my first-hand experience has mainly been with psycholinguists and functional programming folks)

I've noticed this as well. Why is PL so punny? Related question: are there other interesting quirks of various CS subfields?
