1. Today’s xkcd features a pretty funny pop-up note (Edit to add- it’s actually a couple of days old).Thanks for the heads up shadowfirebird.And actually Randall  just the other day I was pondering that and decided the stochastic linear programming problem with recourse has a dual block angular structure. It can thus be handled by Benders decomposition or by Kelley’s method of cutting planes; equivalently the dual problem has a primal block angular structure and can be handled by Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition…
