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 7 nodes and 10 edges.

'De aandelen van Kyndryl zijn met 55 procent ingestort tot het laagste niveau voor het bedrijf sinds 2022. Naast de financiële topman legde ook het hoofd juridische zaken zijn taken neer. De senior vicepresident en tevens hoofd financiële administratie nam een andere rol binnen het bedrijf aan.'

An asteroid that NASA used for target practice a few years ago
was nudged into a slightly different route around the sun,
findings that could help divert a future incoming killer space rock, scientists reported Friday.
It’s the first time that a celestial body’s orbit around the sun was deliberately changed.
The asteroid that NASA’s #Dart spacecraft slammed into was never a threat to Ea…
Je présume que c’est exactement pourquoi on a ajouté cette alinéa dans la révision de la Loi sur les constructions:
«L’autorité compétente n’est pas responsable des dommages causés par la violation par les maîtres de l’ouvrage et leurs représentants des prescriptions de la présente loi.» (art. 5, al. 37 LC VS)
Comme disait Goethe: «So fühlt man absicht, und man ist verstimmt.»

Ugh, my personal git server uses a pre-2022 version of sshd - and now, when I do anything, I get a warning that I'm not using post-quantum keys.
We should be moving to PQ methods, yes, but I don't think anyone will convince me that mass "store now, decrypt later" quantum attacks will ever really be a thing - the opportunity cost will always be too high.
This is a VPN-advert level of unnecessary caution.

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 …
