How AppLovin Scared Google
In 2023, Google ad executives noticed something alarming about one aspect of their business. Once-red hot revenue growth from selling ads promoting mobile apps, a business worth double-digit billions of dollars for Google, had slowed, a former employee said. When staffers discussed what was ...

Spectral Turán problem of non-bipartite graphs: Forbidden books
A book graph $B_{r+1}$ is a set of $r+1$ triangles with a common edge, where $r\geq0$ is an integer. Zhai and Lin [J. Graph Theory 102 (2023) 502-520] proved that for $n\geq\frac{13}{2}r$, if $G$ is a $B_{r+1}$-free graph of order $n$, then $ρ(G)\leqρ(T_{n,2})$, with equality if and only if $G\cong T_{n,2}$. Note that the extremal graph $T_{n,2}$ is bipartite. Motivated by the above elegant result, we investigate the spectral Turán problem of non-bipartite $B_{r+1}$-free graphs of order $n$.…

Torre had to leave ESPN to carve out a spot in the media landscape that fits him, mixing the silly — even the salacious — with the smart.

Les discours de déshumanisation des Palestiniens et d’éradication de Gaza se sont banalisés en Israël depuis le 7 octobre 2023.
Les propos génocidaires, proférés par les plus hautes autorités de l’Etat, ont fait tache d’huile au sein de la majorité et prospèrent désormais sur les plateaux de télévision et dans les think tanks.

"Maailma näyttää nyt toisenlaiselta kuin vuonna 2023.” toteaa Orpo. Tämä ei kuitenkaan vaikuta hallituksen toimiin. Näin se käy ja seli seli. Tavoitteet on Orvolle annettu toteutettaviksi - tapahtui mitä tapahtui.

VM kumosi pää­ministerin väitteen – Orpo: En tehnyt virhettä
Valtiovarainministeriö kiisti Orpon väitteen velkatavoitteen saavuttamisesta. Orpon mielestä ilmaisu ei ollut virheellinen vaan tulkinnanvarainen.

Pairwise Rearrangement is Fixed-Parameter Tractable in the Single Cut-and-Join Model
Genome rearrangement is a common model for molecular evolution. In this paper, we consider the Pairwise Rearrangement problem, which takes as input two genomes and asks for the number of minimum-length sequences of permissible operations transforming the first genome into the second. In the Single Cut-and-Join model (Bergeron, Medvedev, & Stoye, J. Comput. Biol. 2010), Pairwise Rearrangement is $\#\textsf{P}$-complete (Bailey, et. al., COCOON 2023), which implies that exact sampling is intracta…
