[07:19]	Techrights-sec	M$ "Research" is just a slush fund to quiet people in academia
[07:19]	Techrights-sec	It's all marketing: throw money at a person or project, prevent them
[07:19]	Techrights-sec	from working with FOSS, and then without contributing otherwise,
[07:19]	Techrights-sec	tack a "and M$ Research" onto the authors' list.
[07:19]	Techrights-sec	I consider it in the same category as EDGI
[07:19]	Techrights-sec	as for research they are on par with Muppet Labs

[12:24]	schestowitz	"My impression is that the D1-1 default was merely one of the several incovenience of EQE2021. I have never seen so many issues in a paper B while practicing, let alone such a nightmare of paper C. As mentioned in a comment above, no one would ever asked for perfection. Something better working and more balanced with respect to the available time, however, should have been the minimum. The split paper C was really a major prejudice: I
[12:24]	schestowitz	got confused, I did not have enough time and could not go through the documents properly (and neither finish the paper). I will surely file a complaint, and hope everyone who faced major issues also will. I believe it is pretty fair to let them know, that things went all but fine."
[12:24]	schestowitz	"Well, the D1-1 disruption has been the most apparent among the drawbacks of eEQE, but - at least in my opinion - there are many more problems. First, the split C-paper, with almost no time to properly go through the prior art, with the consequent risk of overlooking important information. Having most of the relevant documents just on screen is really confusing and does all but determine a time saving for candidates. The papers,
[12:24]	schestowitz	especially B, C and D1, were definitely too long for the allowed amount of time. I believe those last aspects are even worse than the D1-1 disruption at the beginning, since they deprived a properly-prepared candidate of drafting a proper answer (also with a decent phrasing). "
