For those interested in seeing Dan Wagner in action, this is a video Christmas message (4.44 mins) sent to all staff in December 2015. Powa went into administration in February.

interesting insight here into how Powa's management tried to manipulate the reviews on the Glassdoor site, written by an ex-CFO of Powa.

(bit off-topic): it seems human nature to manipulate reviews (Yelp, Glassdoor, Google) especially when "anonymous". Seems like what is needed is a third party to verify identity and certify to the review site that the reviewer is real and from a real person. This hopefully will maintain anonymity unless a sub-poena is involved.

I like his suggestion to replace 'Standard Model' with the name 'Core Theory'

"The quantum revolution gave this revelation: we’ve finally learned what Matter is. The necessary equations are part of the theoretical structure often called the Standard Model. That yawn-inducing name fails to convey the grandeur of the achievement, and does not serve fundamental physics well in its popular perception. I’m going to continue my campaign, begun in The Lightness of Being, to replace it with something more appropriately awesome: Standard Model → Core Theory"

Is this a joke? Sounds like some bureaucratic decision where you'd create a committee to come up with New Coke. Most people aren't going to care.

You'd be surprised. Yes it must be grounded in soundness but a cool name never hurts.

I bet the folks who coined the term "global warming" sure wish they'd thought of "climate change" first.

You do know the history of those terms and the replacement of one by the other, right?

Science Sparring Society had an interesting (and short) episode on this recently:

I'd be interested to know how common "correcthorsebatterystaple" has become as a password now.

the big difference is that 5 days are scheduled for a game of test cricket, everyone's expecting it and enjoy it accordingly, if it's not finished after 5 days the game is declared a draw.
