Real World (via others)
Noam Nisan pointed out to me this xkcd comic about crypto in practice. On a related note, Raphael Clifford mentioned how incentives work in practice. The UK intelligence agencies apparently hesitate giving cash bonuses: you don't want to train your employees to see cash as a reward. So, these pillars of our theory research (crypto, mechanisms and incentives) face tests of reality.

I know this is a bit off subject but I am a graduate student at UNLV as well as a weekly math based podcast called Combinations and Permutations where we start with a mathematical topic and spin off onto as many tangents as we can. You can follow the previous link to the blog page of our podcast, search for us on iTunes, or take a trip over to our host site http://cppodcast.libsyn.com. Give us a try I do think that you will enjoy what you hear.
