Huzzah, @… is on the scene!

Remember like three years ago when crypto bros were trying to sell us this big story about how they were going to be friendly demand response players who could accelerate the energy transition by balancing load with supply? (I didn't bite.) Then how it turned out they were running 24x7 and keeping coal plants running that would have otherwise retired? And then how the DOE started tracking their energy consumption? Well, now the crypto bros are blocking DOE.

Bitcoin miners win legal battle to keep mum about energy use
Bitcoin miners in the US notched a legal victory against the Department of Energy’s attempt to quantify how much electricity they use.

montreal: Montreal street gangs (2007)
Network representing relationships between gangs, obtained from Montreal Police’s central intelligence database, spanning 2004 to 2007. Nodes are gangs, and an edge represents some kind of relationship between two gangs (as elicited from interviews with gang members).
This network has 35 nodes and 78 edges.

20th Anniversary – probably
In 2004 I found myself unemployed. By some strange coincidence this morning I read a post from Ben Parfitt "Thanks for the Great Ride". It seems that just as I was looking for a new job he had found one: "my new capacity as a resource policy analyst with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, BC Office." I wasn't exactly clear on the precise date of either event, so I went looking in my filing cabinet and come across this docume…

'Trading Jerry' torpedoed the Cowboys’ 2004 Draft in 1st round
If Jerry Jones had hoped to be known as a great judge of football talent he forever killed that hope on April 24, 2004, in New York City. The Cowboys held the 22nd pick in the opening round of the 2004 NFL Draft held at Madison Square Garden. Apparently dissatisfied with what he saw, Jones traded the pick to Buffalo. In return, Dallas got the Bills' second-round pick (43rd overall), their fifth-rounder (114th), and the Bills' first-round pick in 2005 (20th). That 2005 pick would become defensiv…

Weak compactness criteria in $L_1$ space in terms of Orlicz function
In this paper, we provide a direct proof for the equivalence of K.M. Chong's and De la Vallée Poussin's criteria of weak compactness of a subset $K$ of $L_1(0,1)$ in terms of some Orlicz function. Furthermore, we discuss the equivalence in $L_1(0, \infty)$.

Framework for $\exists \mathbb{R}$-Completeness of Two-Dimensional Packing Problems
The aim in packing problems is to decide if a given set of pieces can be placed inside a given container. A packing problem is defined by the types of pieces and containers to be handled, and the motions that are allowed to move the pieces. The pieces must be placed so that in the resulting placement, they are pairwise interior-disjoint. We establish a framework which enables us to show that for many combinations of allowed pieces, containers and motions, the resulting problem is $\exists \math…

train_terrorists: Madrid train bombing terrorists (2004)
A network of associations among the terrorists involved in the 2004 Madrid train bombing, as reconstructed from press stories after-the-fact. Edge weights encode four levels of connection strength: friendships, ties to Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden, co-participants in wars, and co-participants in previous terrorist attacks.
