@mekkaokereke @peridotcoded copaganda is more prevalent on broadcast television, I think, so maybe wins out in volume. But I’m not convinced that’s the case with cable dramas or Hollywood movies

@ticalcorg plugged into a dialup modem with RTerm? https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/26/2670.html

@mekkaokereke @peridotcoded especially baffling given how much beloved pop culture is devoted to making cops look like buffoons and/or villains

@shriramk I’m pretty sure efficient staff allocation (subject to organizational goals and differences in staff skill sets) is reduceable to integer programming

@yeep @Migueldeicaza 💯

@dfeldman anyway, fwiw my vote is “Commonwealth Fusion (or an existing project licensing/buying their stupidly powerful HTS magnets)”, although prior to about 18 months ago it would have been on a stellarator (over either ITER or NIF)

@dfeldman I wouldn’t claim to be an expert relative to anyone working on the projects in your poll, but I was a DOE National Undergraduate Fellow in Plasma Physics + Fusion Energy Science and had a poster accepted at an APS-DPS session, so probably an expert relative to 99.99% of the rest of the population (and know people working at those projects)

@dfeldman I really want the matrix showing how much the people who voted for each entry in the poll would say they actually know about current events in the fusion energy/plasma physics community. CFS is on a tear right now.

@yasmina 💯

shoot me an email! I've got time Thursday morning (EST) if that works for you.

@tuckerteague honestly trying to project this onto those 4 options would just add noise to your poll results.

@tuckerteague I’m center-bottom on a standard “political compass” quiz/meme

@tuckerteague this is....missing at least one axis?

@evacide I'm about 20% on each here so far and the engagement is actually higher I think.
