Two of the most important lessons I learned in grad school:
1) you can register anything you want as a fictitious business name and get an official looking logo and letterhead and credit card
2) if a conference rejects your paper, your business can book the next conference room over at the same hotel and hold your own workshop and present your paper anyway

@dan 2nd is devious!

@dan I had this friend who, in their late teens, with another friend wanted to go to this conference and they needed a company name so they came up with a letterhead and everything for Bolux Incorporated.
He very proudly kept the badge he was given when he went to the conference that listed the company name 😂

@dan 2 seems overkill, given how many venues and publishers there are who would be happy to publish whatever you send them for a small fee.

@dan My single-member contracting side company is named Velociraptor Aerospace Dynamics LLC. Its logo is a clipart raptor riding a bomb, Slim Pickens style. It has its own anthem. Its lore backstory is the name was chosen to fool the government into giving me defense contracts. It's an awkward conversation when I need to, say, open a bank account. I regret nothing.

@dan oh, i remember a video called "near science" where three university guys did exactly that
they wrote a series of nonsense papers using a random generator, sent those to a dubious science publication, they got accepted
then they offered to speak at that journal's conference, but were rejected
doesn't matter, they booked the next conference room at the same hotel and held it themselves, complete with silly costumes and snacks, even had a few attendees (though they had to change the poster at the last minute to remove any suggestion that the journal is endorsing them)

@dan #2 is more respectable than like 90% of IEEE conferences

@rnd yes! This is precisely the story I was referring to!
I was not involved but I shared an office with them at the time

I don't know Mazieres but this was very very Eddie

I believe dm wrote that paper and Eddie contributed the figures so it would be a proper scientific publication.
After it did not get accepted, the next generation of grad students wrote a random paper generator. It was a great success, in that their paper got accepted, then rejected after they announced it was randomly generated, then started a workshop for randomly generated talks, then became inexplicably popular in Russia because apparently that's what happens

Vesto vì è bellissimo, lo adoro!
L'accento livornese in generale è un sacco intrigante.
Un po' tutte le varianti toscane lo sono, a dire il vero.

che poi io sapevo che esisteva la casa discografica Arista Records ed avevo scoperto che si chiamava Àrista records ma pensavo quell'accento ad mentula canis fosse una coglionaggine ammerigana
E INVECE
