faculty_hiring_us: Faculty hiring networks in the US (2022)
Networks of faculty hiring for all PhD-granting US universities over the decade 2011–2020. Each node is a PhD-granting institution, and a directed edge (i,j) indicates that a person received their PhD from node i and was tenure-track faculty at node j during time of collection (2011-2020). This dataset is divided into separate networks for all 107 fields, as well as aggregate networks for 8 domains, and an overall network for …

dom: Animal dominance archive (2022)
Animal dominance interaction data published over a century of research. The archive contains 434 agonistic interaction datasets, totaling over 241,000 interactions. A directed edge (i,j) corresponds to an antagonist interaction between i (winner) and j (loser). If a 'weight' edge property map exists, it counts the number of such interactions.
This network has 18 nodes and 113 edges.

AfD-MdB Köhler beklagt die Abschiebung von Nancy Mensah nach 24 Jahren auf Borkum. Bemerkenswert.
Sie wurde nicht abgeschoben, weil der Staat versagt hat – sondern weil er genau so funktioniert, wie die AfD es will: Titel abgelaufen, kein Ermessen, Vollzug.
Als der Bundestag 2022 das Chancen-Aufenthaltsrecht beschloss, stimmte die AfD dagegen.

At least 80% of the world lives under light-polluted skies
—a figure that rises to 99% in America and Europe.
A paper published in Science found that between 2011 and 2022 the night sky grew almost 10% brighter each year.
With so many places awash with artificial light, people are increasingly seeking out the darkness.

In 2022 I installed my archive copy of 1Password 4.1 on a new machine. It would not honor my 2016 license key (1Password killed its license server killed when it went SaaS).
1Password support tried very hard to move me to the SaaS model (3 free years!), but I repeatedly declined.
I eventually got 1Password support to give me an _older_ version that didn’t talk to a license server.
And I feel much better about standing firm now that 1Password has gone full fash.
Organizational Technology Ladders: Remote Work and Generative AI Adoption

Abstract: This study proposes that firms move along an "organizational technology ladder": adopting one technology transforms hiring and work processes and builds skills and organizational capital that change the cost of adopting subsequent technologies. I study how firms' adoption of remote work technology during the COVID-19 period shaped later uptake of generative AI. Using U.S. job-posting data and an instrumental-variables strategy based on predicted differences in labor-market pressure to offer remote work, I estimate that a 10 percentage point increase in remote hiring in 2021-2022 increases the share of job postings mentioning generative AI in 2023-2024 by 0.4 percentage points across firms and 0.7 percentage points across occupations within firms. I provide evidence on mechanisms consistent with a technology-ladder channel: remote work adoption shifts hiring toward technical and managerial capabilities that predict faster conversion of generative AI exposure into adoption. Firms with return-to-office mandates---interpreted as revealing low remote productivity---exhibit a substantially larger response of generative AI adoption to remote work, consistent with an organizational frictions channel.
