Hidden gems in OR/MS: "L. V. Kantorovich: The Price Implications of Optimal Planning" www.jstor.org/stable/2727266 Duality theory was almost discovered in the Soviet Union in the 1940s by Kantorovich. His research was halted for ideological reasons.

Just finished reading Abundance by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson. Super interesting book! Made me think about the NeurIPS submission checklist. Since 2021, the number of questions in the submission checklist has ballooned from 5 to 16. Is this another example of "everything bagel liberalism"?

Hidden gems in OR and MS: When I was a PhD student at the OR Center at MIT, the students ran a software tools course every winter, introducing tools like Git and Julia/JuMP. I shared this with my PhD student, so 2024 version (it gets updated each year): github.com/angkoulouras...
