I was just able to buy season 1 on Amazon prime video but I can’t find season 2! That is truly unfortunate!

Yes to both of these

Right!?!

It is soooo sooo good. Even if you have to pay to rent it or something. It’s worth activating a 7 day free trial of whatever streaming service it’s on at the moment.

I also liked Lucifer. It’s not on the same level but it’s fun and has lots and lots of episodes. Binging that in the background while I did data analysis got me through a big chunk of my PhD.

I always recommend Counterpart when anyone asks this because nobody’s seen it and it’s actually an incredible show!

I’ve been very happy with it. There’s a free trial if you want to check it out.

There are four or five other Andrew Mercers around the world whose email I regularly receive. My favorite is Canadian Andrew whose life and career I have accidentally been following since 2007.

What is importance hacking? Claiming something is more important than it is?

Do you mean that experimental settings may not generalize to the larger population? What sort of infrastructure are you thinking of here?

I have not read it or seen it on stage but I loved the movie and would totally recommend it. It’s got an incredible cast.
