[TYPES] Why are ACM conference registrations so expensive now?

[Eijiro Sumii]

Hi Neel and all,

Thanks for bringing up this issue.  I just want to add that a student in
our lab cannot attend the main POPL even with PAC and even though he has a
workshop paper accepted for presentation.  We should consider less
expensive venues and more online opportunities.
