Good results
I remember (20+ years ago while I was still in school) during a faculty seminar, Mark Horowitz couldn’t attend, and Bill Dally presented his research by skipping all results slides by simply saying “good results!” and called it a day.
As someone coming from the SIGGRAPH-side of research, I always wish that all CHI user study sections can contain just one sentence: happy users and good results! (instead of pages of descriptions and statistics which, honestly, I never read).

The master and the instructors
I have found it challenging in mimicking what the master can see with model poses, and wondered if I need to fundamentally change my method. To get a sense of the alternatives, I watched other instructors’ videos and found out that they all have different styles.
A fundamental question for learning a new skill, especially in a creative field, is how to balance between maintaining our own ways and incorporating others’ suggestions.

Who should decide working hours for employees?
It need not be by anyone (employers, regulators, etc.) if the incentives are properly designed by measuring and rewarding output productivity, which is what really matters instead of input effort.
