There's also the Alpher-Bethe-Gamow paper, where Dr Gamow included his buddy Dr. Bethe for a laugh, to the annoyance of grad student Alpher who correctly predicted this would be an important paper and Bethe hadn't done anything Bethe eventually made his own important contributions but Alpher expressed annoyance as late as 1999

I'm definitely in Gamow's team here.

It is pretty funny, but as a former grad student who had to deal with the realities of how your judged based on publications, having someone with basically complete power over you sideline your work to make a joke you don't want is pretty lovely.

And of course there's the Cox-Zucker Machine, invented by a couple mathematicians who met in grad school, realized the opportunity they had, and spent most of a decade trying to codiscover something that would force people to use the name.

BonHair posted:That is a solid as gently caress pun, though. I'm definitely in Gamow's team here. Agreed, it's a pun for the ages, but I sympathize with Alpher. Wikipedia posted:Alpher, at the time only a graduate student, was generally dismayed by the inclusion of Bethe's name on this paper. He felt that the inclusion of another eminent physicist would overshadow his personal contribution to this work and prevent him from receiving proper recognition for such an important discovery. He expressed resentment over Gamow's whimsy as late as 1999.[2][3][4] If I was just starting out and had done a piece of brilliant, groundbreaking research, I'd be pretty drat pissed if, just to be funny, my PhD advisor gave co-author credit to a famous figure in the field who'd had nothing to do with it. Everyone would assume the well-known person had done the hard part and I had just brought coffee.

I guess my (former) field (linguistics of various flavours in Denmark) was sufficiently inbred that everyone knew everyone to the point that even if you didn't know the specific grad student, you could tell which parts were definitely the established doctor's and which were clearly not. Also linguists are a very pun friendly sort. My grammar professor was basically all about making puns. He also got an article published in Language based on the sentence "I saw Santa kiss mom".

Thank you. I was trying to remember the name of that the other day and couldn't. Like, whole rest of the story, fine, but not the actual punchline. edit: Oh nice, Cox also got a ring named after him.

A stat that is still true even with the six games he played this season; dude has less wins since 2014 than Colin Kaepernick. Hopefully, the other hilarious stat – that nobody has ever sent a text message celebrating the Bengals winning a playoff game – still stands after tonight.

Even if those predictions hold true, Netflix still has like three shows I'm interested in watching compared to a basic cable package which has zero, and Netflix has no ads

Can netflix not have any games? These lovely flash games suck and you need to download them anyway so they're literally just embedded ads in a service I'm already paying* for. *sort of

Are Netflix still doing games? They did that one Black Mirror episode, a port of most of the first season of Minecraft Story Mode and a Bear Grills thing. I thought they'd given up after that.

Netflix is making a play to make something like Apple Arcade. so freemium or ad supported games with the ads and pay parts removed. dunno what the relation between that and graphs and charts is tho.
